Two grandkids settling the estate of their grandparents find pics and 3 reels of never before seen WWII footage. It turns out that grandpa was a military photog during the war.
Go to www.msnbc.com and click on the war footage icon on the left. There are 2 videos; one explaining the find and the 2nd one is 16 minutes of footage. Be sure to fullscreen it. It is very cool. Lots of air combat. :rock

That's outstanding footage there. I'm glad they decided to donate it and it was preserved. We've lost so much already and are losing the vets. Soon there will be none from WW2.
