- VHS Video
Running time 56 min. Ways of the Warhawk - How to
fly the fabled Curtiss-Wright P-40. In the cockpit,
instruction is intercut with actual flight experience.
Preflight, run-up, taxiing, take-off, aerobatics,
and emergency procedures are well demonstrated. Great
in-flight footage. (Color, 36 min.) Recognition of
the Japanese Zero - Ronald Reagan made this AAF training
film to dramatize the necessity of American pilots'
recognizing the difference between the P-40 and Japanese
Zero - mistaking the two was a common error. You'll
get to see some rare footage of a captured Zero used
to teach the importance of enemy aircraft recognition.

Warbirds of World War
II - DVD
Comprehensive documentary describes seven key warplanes
of WWII. Starting with the B-17 pounding the Reich
by day with escorting P-47s and P-51s, to the B-24s
pulverizing the Reich's crucial oil fields. Witness
P-40s and P-38s in early, bitter battles. Finally,
the mighty B-29 hammers Japan to its knees before
the final blow of the atomic bombardment. This splendid
film is both a tribute and a reference to the airmen
and warplanes of WWII. This three DVD set is over
7 hours long, including bonus features - Allied Airmen
