Interesting wartime P38 footage..1st FG
« on: July 04, 2006, 01:40:08 PM »
Came across this today.  Someone had their own camera and filmed bits and pieces of P38 ops with the 1st FG in Italy.  Quality is fair to middlin but it's the real deal so worth a look :)

Look carefully at the engine start up film.  One of the 38s has 5 bombs loaded and a DT.  Interesting combo.

They worked fine for me as well, I'm using Windows 2K Pro, and I guess I have the latest version of Windows Media Player. Can't imagine what the problem is.

Update your windows media player or reload it. I had same problem awhile back with something Mars had posted. After updating my media player all was well.
