    That was a great lesson in WW2 history for me. Seeing that veteran pilots eyes light up when he realized that the gear down landing footage was him, made the show. Thanks for the link. Spitfires had that excellent elliptical wing design, a masterpiece of engineering by R.J. Mitchell.

    Nothing to worry about, because for once, I have the proper tool at hand. Looking for a little heat?.......Any questions?

    These civilian soldiers, these precious few...these bands of brothers in every theatre...how I admire them, they are our 'Greatest Generation'...how I wish I would have had this understanding in my youth, perhaps I would have better understood my father.

    Thank you gunoil.

    This was VERY cool, and it was only one clip of hundreds. I'd like to see the full documentary with content from more of the reels.
