From Bear Bruhn 36 minutes long, but a good viewing. Grab yourself another cup of coffee or a beer, and enjoy some old footage...... Great compilation of combat footage from WWII. The beginning is the planning and preparation for the bombing raids on Tokyo . At about 15-16 minutes they are running into flak as they prepare to hit the targets. Some great P-51 combat footage and then very good footage of the bombers in action. Recovery back at the take-off bases is excellent footage also. It is obvious when you see our stockpiles on the islands that our industrial production sealed the fate of our enemies. We don't send a lot of our officers to ICAF, but that course might be as valuable as AWC to the successful prosecution of a war effort. Good way to spend some quality time . A 36 minute gem for those who at this time of year would like to trace the dots from Pearl Harbor in 1941 back to Japan in 1945 -- the Last Bomb. This is amazing footage. Notice the actual photos of the spent shell casings streaming out of the bottom of the P51s. www.archive.org/details/TheLastBomb1945

I've been sneaking in watching that movie between chatting here, watching the Broncos get their tails spanked, and everything else.
Good stuff! Thanks for posting it!
