Battle Damaged P-47's

Post by ostketten » Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:06 am

Check out this video clip of battle damaged P-47's that brought home their pilots in spite of tremendous damage... :shock: If anybody knows where I can find the complete documentary on DVD please let me know, a quick search of the likely suspects (Amazon, Netflix, etc) was not much help. The narrator sounds a little bit like Walter Cronkite, but I could be mistaken about that.

I have this complete video,and series.

It is from the series "Great Planes",I believe.
They did one hour documentaries on different aircraft.P-47,P-38,P-51,B-17,etc,etc.

Interesting,with lots of good footage.Although the narration is less than ideal.

I downloaded mine from BTjunkie.

Here is the link.
