Title: B-29 AND P-51 "THE LAST BOMB" COLOR FILM
Post by: bacon8tr on February 15, 2012, 01:01:58 PM

First off my apologies as I am sure this probally is posted in the wrong section of the forum.  Feel free to ship it off Skuzzy :rock  I had this forwarded to me from a friend of mine and had never seen the entire film.  Certain parts of this film I recognize, but once again I never realized it was part of a bigger collection.  The link should provide the information behind this film if I posted it correctly.  It's 36 minutes long, and once again it has allowed me to pause and  :salute all veterans past and present.    http://www.archive.org/details/TheLastBomb1945

Ya.....those fishermen had quite the pucker factor.  I actually found the rudder work on the strafing runs rather interesting.  The rudder work in the film translates very well in-game.
