P47 Lovers, Read Me...
« on: May 03, 2001, 10:59:00 PM »
Just thought you might want to make a note of this programming coming up on the History Channel:

Thunderbolts: The Conquest of the Reich
 
Sunday , May 13 10:00 PM-11:00 PM and Monday , May 14 2:00 AM-3:00 AM


In the last months of WWII, General Hap Arnold, head of the U.S. Army Air Force, ordered the making of a color film on his forward strike crews, particularly the P-47 Thunderbolts fighter groups flying close air support to the army's infantry and armor units. From March 1 to May 8, 1945, 16 camera crews shot 86 hours of film. But after the war, General Arnold decided not to release the footage. We tracked down four original pilots from the 362nd Fighter Group who narrate the story we see on the screen.

Enjoy, you jugheads
