The squadron I am assigned to created that video. The 1st Motion Picture Unit became what is now known as the 1st Combat Camera Squadron. Cool stuff.

that video and "The Last Bomb" from 1945 are pretty good.
Also look at "The Fighting Lady" from 1945 and "The Battle of Midway" from 1942 Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

My wife's uncle was with the 8th . Flew many missions .
He had the rank Major. He did not fair well. He spent most of his time after the war in mental institutions. He relived the war in his mind everyday. gd |
