Narrative:

Just after liftoff, with captain flying, left upper and lower CRT's failed (loss of primary attitude and map information for captain). Control of aircraft was passed to first officer. Captain selected 'altitude,' which used another source to provide attitude and map information. Aircraft was returned to ams using overweight landing techniques. We had right IRU MEL'ed prior. Had we not had a real world thorough pre takeoff briefing with all 3 crew members (captain, first officer and international relief officer) adding important discussion items, the first 60 seconds after the attitude, etc, loss would have been busier than it already was. As captain, I must say what a pleasure it is to fly with experienced 'CRM-wise,' confident fellow aviators (especially when a problem arises).
