You may have seen it already but very interesting and good music. :D

Great video/film. Some pictures that beg questions, such as it looks like a 262 with 2x20mm in the nose. I prefer the 4x30mm but wondering if the 20mm was common and how it may change the flight characteristics of the 262.
Thanks for posting!

Very cool. Very cool, indeed. :)

At the end when the officers are standing around (with the 4 star smoking under the wing) is the tall Colonel on the left Gabreski?
-
Not sure who it is but certainly not Gabreski. Gabreski was rather short. I met him in 1999.

Well Ammo, you back home Germany? :salute

Yes sir Jimmy, if you want to call it home! We (the ammo family) are doing our best to find employment in the S/SE United States. We have been away way too long.

:airplane: :x Holy Cow! What a treasure! Are you sure that this was shot in Sept of 45? War hadn't been over but just a couple of months in Japan. Tommy Dorsey and his band of "Renown" for musical background!!
A V2 Rocket standing there with no visible support, goes to show you, the government hadn't started interfering with our lives with all the regulations and BS!
A ME163 in one piece along with other German Aircraft! We didn't have anything flying then that would haul them intact, so they had to be shipped via ships to U.S. What a great time for some young pilots who had to get in these things and learn how to fly them to where ever.
I wonder if anyone could burn this video to a CD, have it enhanced and repost! Or is that possible! I would be glad to compensate someone to do it, so that I could add it to my library of 40's films.
Great, Great post Jimmie! :salute

Great video Jimmy. Thanks for posting. :aok :aok
One can tell they are airmen marching because they can't march like soldiers. :D
It would be great to see the 2 movies the video was made from.

After the transfer flight to the USA of the Ju290. an explosive device was found in the wing.
The is probably Me410A-1/U1 captured in Trapani, Sicily, about 30 Jul 43.
FE 4614 is a Flettner 282.

I could be mistaken but that looks like a 2 seat trainer 262 and IIRC they put the 20mm guns because all the Mk108's were sent to front line units.
