P-47 Thunderbolt - Guncamera footage

I thought this was neat. And in color, too. It's only 5 minutes.

"The US Air Force recently declassified guncamera footage from Allied aircraft in the European Theater during World War II. The P-47 Thunderbolt went into action May 1941."

Re: P-47 Thunderbolt - Guncamera footage

Any of you ever run across VHS cassette put out by AvionPark titled Gun Camera Footage of World War II? It has 45 minutes of gun camera footage and ranges from Europe to the Pacific. If memory serves correct, there is even some footage of a German Me 321 auguring in.

Re: P-47 Thunderbolt - Guncamera footage

That is some awesome footage, and I don't know if it is a repost, but definitely worth watching over and over....

This footage also makes me think of a family friend who flew Tbolts in the war and used to tell me he loved strafing trains.. I just wished he were around now to tell me more..

That is just so cool! and it reinforces how tough it is, even with 8-50s, to get lead on target.
