Movie Monday - January 12 - P-51 Mustang - Circa 1942

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0) |
This week's Movie Monday was found with some deep digging around the digital vault. It's a 1940s film detailing the flight characteristics of the North American P-51 Mustang fighter. When you watch, please take into account the historical era in which the film was produced. It really provides an interesting historical and technical viewpoint on the development of the WWII fighter aircraft.

Jon,
Great find. You must have found the digital version of the Air force archieves. When I was in A&P school, they had a video like this on the old 'corn cob' R4600 radials, if you could find this, that would make my year.

Very nice! Looks like a Hollywood production, and, if I'm not mistaken, the civilian, The North American Aviation expert is the famous actor Leo J. Cobb.
