Flashback on location in Iraq for Battle Stations Specials.

Flashback is producing a further 3 hours in the ongoing series of Battle Stations for Channel Four Television.

The Battle Stations Iraqi War Specials will offer a fresh and considered perspective on the performance and role of military technology and weaponry used in the recent Iraq conflict. Just a few weeks after the end of the war Flashback has sent a crew into Kuwait and Baghdad to interview US military personnel about their experiences of the campaign. The three programmes will focus on:

  • the bombing campaign - the role of the B52, and ordnance from cruise missile to daisy cutters
  • the helicopters - the performance of the Black Hawk and Apache
  • and the war on the ground - tanks and armour such as the Abrams and Bradley in the 3rd Infantry Division's advance on Baghdad

Flashback is making use of its extensive network of military contacts based on itsexperience of producing the 32 hours to date in the Battlestations series. The three new programmes will also include combat footage sourced from the Pentagon.

The first of the three part series, Battle Stations Iraq: The Bombing War, airs on Channel 4 on monday 2nd June, at 8pm.
