The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Two arrives on DVD on December 18 in a nine-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here.) Here's a look at what's on the fifth disc.

Attack of the Hawkmen (1:36:00) Indy returns from Africa with a changed perspective thanks to his time with Albert Schweitzer. Rather than wage war on bloody battlefields, he sees an opportunity to help end the great conflict by joining French Intelligence. His plan succeeds almost too well, as he is instantly assigned to the Lafayette Escadrille as a reconnaissance photographer -- a position with a notoriously short lifespan. The legendary flying unit consists of American volunteers flying under the French flag, engaging in daring dogfights against the enemy. In Indy's time with the unit, he comes face to face with German Ace Manfred von Richthofen, better known to history as the infamous Red Baron.

Indy's next intelligence assignment is again rooted in air superiority. The aviation genius Anthony Fokker's loyalty is reportedly for sale, and it's up to Indy to contact the designer and make him an offer. Outfitted with plenty of spy gear, Indy goes behind enemy lines to intercept Fokker, who is about to unveil a diabolical new air weapon.

Attack of the Hawkmen stars Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy and Ronny Coutteure as Remy. Guest stars include Patrick Toomey ("Holby City") as Charles Nungesser, Marc Warren ("Hustle") as Baron Von Richthofen, Craig Kelly ("Queer as Folk") as Anthony Fokker, Ewan Bailey ("Rome") as Hobey Baker, and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO in the Star Wars saga) as Francois.

Production Credits: Director of Photography: Giles Nuttgens; Editor: Ben Burtt; Production Designer: Ricky Eyres; Costume Designer: Trisha Biggar; Music Composed by Joel McNeely; Executive Producer: George Lucas; Produced by Rick McCallum; Written by Matthew Jacobs and Rosemary Anne Sisson and Ben Burtt; Directed by Ben Burtt.

War in the Third Dimension: Aerial Warfare in World War I (0:26:43) When World War I began, the rival armies charged into battle with frightening new weapons that seemed ready to change the very nature of war. One promising new piece of military hardware -- the airplane -- wasn't quite ready to hit its mark. That didn't stop a few passionate advocates from making big plans for airplanes, or from dreaming up ways to use them in war. By the end of the war these visionaries would transform the flimsy airplanes of 1914 into powerful and dependable weapons, and take war where it had rarely gone before: beyond the two dimensional realm of our planet's surface, into the third dimension of the air above. Produced by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucelli. Written by Mark Page.

Blood Red: The Life and Death of Manfred von Richthofen (0:27:34) Today, historians and aviation buffs still celebrate the Red Baron as the ideal fighter pilot. A daring knight of the sky who helped write the book on aerial combat during the world's first air war. For the man behind the myth, however, the real story is a tale of disillusionment; a blood red saga in which ancient ideals of chivalry, honor and duty came crashing down in the fires of modern war. Produced and written by Mark Page and Jennifer Petrucell. Written by Mark Page.

Flying High for France: The Lafayette Escadrille (0:26:13) In a war that claimed millions of lives, most who served in the military fought because they had no choice. But the high flying men of the Lafayette Escadrille were different: they didn't have to be there. They were American adventurers who volunteered for World War One long before their country joined. They were lawyers, authors, heirs to banking and railroad fortunes, Ivy League graduates, friends of royalty, sons of privilege. All they wanted was a chance to fly. The young pilots came to the war with romantic ideas of adventure and heroism. They had no idea what they were in for. Produced and written by Karena O'Riordan.

Anthony Fokker: The Flying Dutchman (0:27:31) On November 11, 1918, the Germans laid down their arms, finally ending World War I. In the surrender agreement, the Allies listed the numbers of cannons, machine guns and other weapons that Germany had to turn over. Yet of 1,700 airplanes demanded, only one type was so feared that it was mentioned by name: the D-7. The deadly machine was the masterwork of a 28 year-old Dutchman who had become Germany's most skilled -- and unconventional -- plane maker: Anthony Fokker. Produced and written by Mike Welt.
