Portsmouth, the Waterfront City, the city is the only island in the UK. Separated from the mainland by a small bay, which has only three access roads to which enter the city. The Main M275 links from the M27 down into the center of the city, the A2030 "This Way" in Southsea, and the A3, the main street through of the city.
Early life of Portsmouth began with a Roman fort in the Saxon era, which remains today as Portchester Castle. As now life here revolves around the sea, but the Saxons not know that their little fishing village develops into a major garrison town which will become the main naval base of one of the largest empires in history. For centuries, Portsmouth has also been home to some of the best in England. It was the birthplace of Charles Dickens and sometime home of Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle and Peter Sellers.
West of the island is the port of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and while to the east lies the nature reserve of Langstone Harbor and the Farlington Marshes. To the north, Portsdown Hill occupies the view while Southsea lies to the south, and water, the Isle of Wight.

From its origins in Tudor England, Portsmouth has been one of the centers from which the Navy Real dominated the seas. Bombed and flattened in WWII, Portsmouth has been home to the Royal Navy for over five hundred years. Although fortifications have been here since the Roman era, golden time in the history of Portsmouth was on 6 June 1944 with the launch of Operation Overlord.

This is located in the historic shipyard, one of ten major attractions in the UK assets, together with HMS Warrior the first "Iron Clad" warship and Henry VIII's ill-fated "Mary Rose".

WWII – IN COLOR - $6.99 Includes:The Battle of Midway (1942) With the Marines at Tarawa (1943) The Memphis Belle (1944) Thunderbolt (1945) The Battle of Midway Highlights from World War II are documented in this award-winning film. ~ All Movie Guide With the Marines at Tarawa This documentary offers a profile of two of the Marine Corps’ bloodiest battles. Perhaps the better known of the two, Tarawa, has come to symbolize the savage island fighting that characterized the war in the Pacific. Fought within an area the size of the Pentagon, three days of fighting claimed almost 10,000 lives. The second part deals with the return of the Marine Corps to their base on Guam. Seized early in the war, the island of Guam had a close relationship with the United States, and its loss was one that hurt deeply. ~ Rob Ferrier, All Movie Guide The Memphis Belle Filmed in color, The Memphis Belle has long been held up as a “model” wartime documentary. In a terse, exciting 41 minutes, the film assembles footage from several allied bombing missions into one single representative flight of the famed Flying Fortress known as The Memphis Belle. Though both the crewmen and the filmmakers take considerable pride in the fact that the Belle has completed 25 successful missions, there’s no phony heroism, no grandstanding, no flagwaving. As calm-voiced narrator Ed Kern explains, the Belle has a job to do, and it does it, and that’s all. The danger facing these Flying Fortresses is underlined, but never overemphasized, by brief glimpses of those doomed ships that didn’t make it back. Memphis Belle was directed by William Wyler, who also flew several missions with the crew, manning the camera himself at considerable risk. The overall excellence of The Memphis Belle is even more obvious when compared to the hokey fictionalized 1990 movie version of the Belle’s 25th mission. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Thunderbolt Filmed in Technicolor, Thunderbolt was the last of Major William Wyler’s wartime directorial efforts on behalf of the US Army Air Corps. As in his previous WW2 documentaries, Wyler himself participated in the mission that he depicts herein on film. The title refers to the huge bombers used by the Corsica-based 57th fighter group. The film concentrates on “Operation Strangle”, the all-out assault agains t the Nazi stronghold at Monte Cassino. Adding poignancy to the film is the knowledge that several of the extremely young American participants, here shown smiling and waving at the camera, did not survive the battle. Released to the troops in 1945, Thunderbolt was distributed theatrically in 1947. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |
