Looking for P-38 films
« on: March 17, 2011, 11:41:57 PM »
So this tour, I spent a couple weeks in the 109k4.  I wasn't trying to master it, but simply trying to get familiar with what it is capable of doing (and the power of the tater!).  I  figure the better I know each aircraft, the easier it will be to judge e-states when I run into them in combat situations.

I've been thinking that I would like to spend some time in the P-38 family next tour.

I would like to get my hands on some films of some of you 38 jocks using the plane.  Films designed for training would be great, but I would also love to get some films of combat sorties that I could examine.  Films of the 38 being used in an actual combat enviroment would be great.

Thank you in advance!   :salute

Thanks Traveler, appreciate it.  Interesting films.  I am hoping somebody will hook me up with some AH films that I can watch in the viewer from different perspectives and analyze.

Here's part of a flight from about a week ago (give or take).  Not the best flying, in re-watching it I can see some mistakes that I think I made,  but I think it does show a few things that make the 38 a little unique in that it has great low speed handling, stability, and concentrated firepower.  Keep in mind this is the 38G which doesn't have quite the power that the J/L models have.

*edit*
Somehow in the clipping and copying it seems the sounds levels got a little screwy, if the playback sound is off it's the film.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
