Default Wings/Great Planes

I'm watching an episode of Wings of the Luftwaffe on the Military Channel and it got me to thinking. Remember the original Discovery series called Wings/Great Planes back in the late 80's? I've been searching the net and found where I could buy several of the individual episodes, but I'd love to have the whole Great Planes series, in additon to the Soviet (with Peter Ustinov) and the Luftwaffe series on DVD. I've got a few of the episodes on VHS that I taped back in the 80's on crappy tapes and a really low end VCR (I was in college), but that's it.

Modern programs cover the usuals like the F-4, F-14, F-86, etc., but you never see shows on the B-70, F-104, B-57, F-84, and a bunch of others these days. The old Great Planes series had a lot of those classics that we just don't see in programming today.

Just curious. Have you checked the Discovery Channel store ?(www.discoverychannelstore.com) I can't get to it from work but I remember they use to advertise DVD copy availability after every show. Maybe they have some left?

They have a few small box sets with three or four episodes of the most popular aircraft but I didn't see anything of the whole series.
