The producers of the Emmy Award winning PBS hit Red Tail Reborn have now created a new aviation series; The Restorers – Season 1. The new documentary series will be available this Veterans Day (Wednesday, November 11, 2015) as a box set on DVD or BluRay.

Episode 1 "Living History"
Episode 1 “Living History” details those who are committed to keeping history alive, in the most literal sense.

The Restorers – Season 1 is an exciting new series about warbird and vintage aircraft restorers and the planes they resurrect from the graves of history. Each one-hour episode is themed, containing several stories in each episode. This first season’s episodes are: Living History, Aircraft Recovery, The Aviatrix, Aviation Destinations and They Were All Volunteers.

Episode 3 - “The Aviatrix” centers on the theme of women aviators in history and the determination they embodied to be allowed to fly. First, we follow the story of a restored Travel Air biplane used by Louise Thaden to win the first cross-country Women's Air Race in 1929. Then we tell the story of a group of students at a community college who are working to restore Jackie Cochran's Twin Beech, using it as vessel to tell the story of women in aviation. The last story showcases a Restorer who rebuilt a Stearman biplane that served at Avenger Field, where the Women's Air Service Pilots (WASP) were trained. This episode will inspire those who are told they cannot accomplish something, and having the drive to prove the cynics wrong.
