I am aware of and have been collecting the following Japanese series for a while now:

Image
Desert Storm: CNN Coverage (1991) [ASLW-5002]

Image
Pentagon, The: Act 2 (1990) [PCLP-00038]

Image
Strongest Weapons 8: World War III (1989) [APLS-4019]

Are there any other releases or series that people can recommend? US or Japanese.

LDDB lists 5. But yeah I found Act 2 in a bargain bin in Shibuya Recofan in probably 2015 and haven't gotten around to getting the rest, but will one day, it's pure Cold War action, very cool footage of a US Marine landing force on exercise. It's interesting to me as a wargamer and modeller.

You already know the Strongest Weapon series.

How about Humming Bird Command Vision Series, American Warriors Series or JASDF Series?

There were also a few more individual releases:

F-14 Tomcat (1990) [CSLW 1337]
Stealth: F-117A (1992) [SRLW 1459]
Lockheed F-117A/YF-22 [PCLP-00204]
Jasdf Air Base: Chitose [TSL-0032]
Italian Air Force [VILY-6]
Advanced Fighter Rafale (1989) [LC024-8125]
Hi-Tech Challenges Collection: Rafale (1990) [ALLA-93]

... and probably a few more!

A lot of those look really great Julien, esp the Hummingbird Command and the American Warriors series! I used to live near Chitose airbase so that titile is of great interest as well. Thanks so much for the recommendations, exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for! Wishlist officially expanded!
