A Roaring Good Movie!
This is my 2nd Roaring Glory Warbids movie (the 1st being the F4U Corsair), and I haven't been disappointed yet!
The movie really illustrates the unique characteristics of this WWII fighter -- twin engines, no-torque, tricycle gear, non-convergent armament, all-sheet-metal skin -- that make it one of the most important fighters of the war, and of later years as well, as the P-38 is regarded as the first modern day fighter and a distant ancestor of the SR-71 Blackbird.
The movie combines a present day flight and interesting narration with 1940-era training films, family albums, and footage. I especially enjoy the old film clips, and the narrations by P-38 pilots of actual combat missions.
I recommend this movie -- and the whole series -- for those interested in WWII era fighters and stories.
Best P-38 Info Out There!
This is amazing! The photography is beautiful - crisp, in focus, well lit, beautiful. Jeff Ethells's commentary is excellent as he puts the 38 through its paces from preflight through shutdown and flight off the beautiful coast of Oregon at Tillamook. This segment is also haunting as I think the plane he is flying is the same one he died in not too long after the footage was taken for this segment. Also the one featured on the cover of Flight Magazine in Jeff's "Flying the..." series. But it is the best footage of a living, breathing, P-38 you will find. It also has the training film that you'll find separately at museums and such on VHS - but on DVD so you can play it as much as you want. I haven't had time to go through the whole DVD yet but everything I've seen so far is too good to be true - but it is. If you like P-38s, this is an absolute must-have.
