Good documentary for its time.  The speech reflects the thinking of that era.  It's amazing how far we have come in air power since 1945.  My father was in the group designated as the invasion force, which became an occupation force instead, due to the surrender.

WOW !!!!  yeah, 15 minutes long but I have never seen it really "the way it was" and the P-51's were very cool.
