Folks,

I found these four nice videos on American WWII aircraft while looking up some other videos (... naw, no porns ...) on UTube. Enjoy them ...

Very cool, Frank! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Thanks Frank, excellent videos of some of my favorites

Great finds mate. I'd give a lot to fly a bit in one of these. With my six clear, of course.

Good finds Frank! I'll look at all of 'em eventually.

The pilot in the P-38 film is aviation author Jeff Ethel, and I think he's flying a bird that belongs to the Tillamook NAS museum in Oregon. Tragically, he died in the crash of another P-38 he was flying at that same field in '97, probably not too long after this video was taken I would guess. Here's a link to a detailed article about the crash report. Very sad, since he was a real expert on lots of aviation topics and also a good family man from what I read years ago. On the bright side I believe he left some good books, films like this one, & other resources behind.
