Better known ad "Thunderbolt!".  Made by William Wyler, the same guy who did Memphis Belle.

Show the Jugs of the 57th Fighter Group, 12th AF in the MTO.   Well worth the watch.

Have it on VCR tape.  Got it from the History Channel.  Fortunately I have kept my Sony VCR for all the old tapes I still have.

Psssst.... it's 2015, not 1995. :D

Get those tapes digitally transferred.  Most grabbers are around $50.

Amazed that it showed a P-47 strafing civilians.  "Who's that? He's no friend of mine." *50 cal tracers cover a farm field*.
