The "Mighty 8th" USAAF became my intellectual hobby after an experience with the Colling's Foundation, "Nine-O-Nine" a number of years ago.
I have since visited 10 of their former airfields in the UK, and the spiritual vibes one gets when strolling those old runways cannot be described. I heartily commend you on a superb historical production. Let these incredibly brave, great men of the USAAF never be forgotten.
thanks for posting! a great video i live close to parham and whilst most of the runways are intact it was interesting to see the men and planes who brought the airfield to life there is a museum in the controll tower which is ran by local volenteers which is well worth a visit
heros one and all.

Guys I agree with those comments may I ask the music selected in that great 1940's swing, what are the songs & bands if known.

This is an incredible view into what it was like to live and fly in that time. Thank you for posting.
