...... Silly me, eh?

Pilot sees film for the first time of his belly landing in the 1940s.

It must be the hydraulic oil and other aviation 'stuff' that run through my veins!

I couldn't agree more with the words below about this link I have just received!

It's one of the nicest clips I think any of us (in aviation) will see.

Kinda made me 'mist up'. Know what I mean?

Thank you, John S. Blyth, USAF (Retired), for your valuable contribution to WW II.

Flying over Germany unarmed and without escort is the act of a very (young and) courageous man.

Your Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) is truly very well deserved.

At the link close the pop-up. Clip should play A-OK!

I hope you enjoy it, too!

Barry

I think that this is a lovely film!

US Spitfire Pilot

This is one of the best short documentaries I’ve seen in a long time. It’s about 15 minutes long.
