bobgee Posted November 3, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2019 Great video! Mostly clear as a bell! Looks like early to mid-1943 based on markings. The P-47s are from the 56th Fighter Group and then 4th Fighter Group before they changed over to the P-51. Don't know about the P-39s. Thanks for the link!

pararaftanr2 Posted November 4, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 4, 2019 John, The full film, also on YouTube, with about 10 minutes of additional footage, is titled "Ramrod" to Emden! A USAAF production shot in 1943, featuring the 56th Fighter Group. The beginning, and ending footage that was cut from this version, shows several of the 56th's well known aces and leaders, such as Gabreski and Jerry Johnson.
