The Big Adventure Series: The Big Aircraft Carrier [DVD] [1995]

Little Mammoth Media's Big Adventure Series for Kids continues with this exciting look at the titular ship. Expertly filmed on location aboard the USS Nimitz, this video takes a look at daily life on board an aircraft carrier from a child's point of view. Visit the bridge, the control tower, and even the ship's mess, which serves over 18,000 meals a day. The fighter jet take-off footage will thrill parents and children alike. Narrated by children but not condescending to its audience, The Big Aircraft Carrier entertains while educating the viewer about air traffic control, pilot survival training, and the ship's combat capabilities. Series creator and director William van der Kloot won best director in children's programming for this video at the International Monitor Awards.~Heather M. Fierst
