This is a really wonderful documentary. The clips of P-51s (and other airraft) in action are great, but the comments by the aces that flew them are what makes this a real winner. Stick around after the credits because there's more, and it's really good too.
I salute these brave pilots--on both sides; their commitment to airmanship and the sacrifices they made puts a tear in my eye.

Peegoo, that was the best P-51 documentary I have seen. Were the color videos from that time or something produced lately and added. Extraordinary shots! Thanks for posting this, it was great!  |

Yea... Cool aeroplane. But I've always wanted a P40 in my armchair dreams. I did some introductory lessons in the CAP and that was back in the day when United Airlines would let a ten-year-old into the Chickenpit and give you an honorary set of airlines wings. Yea, the P40 is what I'd like in my driveway. Both role model and favorite aeroplane:
The broken coke bottle and lit cigar is the best ever.

Thanks for sharing Peegoo. I agree that's one of the best documentaries of WWII I've seen. I had the thought that the current "Dogfights" TV program is a modern variant of the dogfighting/pilot interview genre.

Those color clips don't look colorized to me. They may be the real deal.
