WWII in HD The Air War

[TBird1958]

I do enjoy a lot of what's on The History Channel and since a number of us are WWII aircraft buffs I thought I'd mention this Wednesday's lineup includes a new episode about the U.S. 8th Airforce.

It's evidently all color and mostly unseen footage - I'm there!

Anything that will help with identification is a boon...

Figures...

Probably why I have so many problems...

I have a great book about James Stewart when he was over here, and his time in the USAF... even got his Mach2 badge in a B58 iirc

I recorded something about the history of American bombers last week, and a great prog on the B52 - incredible to think that they may have been in service for heading for 100 years before finally being retired...

I'll have to set the VCR.  

"Turned on my VCR, same one I've had for years......

There's a saying amongst the BUFF guys "when they retire the last (B-1 or B-2) the crew will fly home in a B-52". 
It just brings up images of one of my fave movies of all time, Dr Strangelove. Slim Pickens, George C. Scott and Peter Sellers are all brilliant!

With you there, Sis...
