As we’re approaching the third of the 11 best history documentaries on Amazon Prime right now that you can watch instantly, we are bringing you the latest accomplishment of Nancy Spielberg, the youngest sister of Steven Spielberg, and her colleague Roberta Grossman. On the Frontline of Israel’s War of Independence in 1948, young World War II pilots, both Jews, and foreigns, voluntarily risked their lives while fighting against the Arab Armies who were eager to destroy the new State and People of Israel. Everlasting bigotry between Israel and Palestine is immortalized by a story told from the participant’s perspective.
