Rare WWII colour footage of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt strafing and bombing ground targets. Features some of the clearest and most dramatic gun camera footage I have seen. Music: "Cheek to Cheek" by Irving Berlin, performed by Fred Astaire.

The P-47 and the A-10 are my favorite aircraft.

tough plane.

The Jug was an absolute monster. One of the most powerful and gigantic fighter aircraft of WW2.
Despite the fact that it was almost twice the size and weight of most of its fighter counterparts... it was a real killer.
Awesome machine!

Great choice of music. Sedate & calm amidst the chaos. The lyrics matched perfectly.
