My father was a B- 25 pilot in WW2. He flew over 100 missions against the Japanese. The Veterans from that war are the greatest generation of men this country has ever produced.
What a wonderful video! Dad flew a B-25C searching for U-boats. Watching this let me experience a moment of flight as if I was seeing it through his eyes. Thank you for this experience!
This was a great video. I love how there are people in this world who respect the memory of our Warbirds and have the financial resources to restore and maintain them. I only wish our government had the foresight to do the same. For the US military it would be "chump change".
You are so right! While producing the Shipyard film, we ran into a group of veterans who want to restore a Minesweeper. They approached the government and were told no. Instead, the ships, that were in perfect working order, were crushed, and taken apart. MInesweepers are smaller ships that are usually forgotten. However, every major Naval invasion was preceded by the minesweepers. They were always there first.....
Okay.... I heard you. There is more footage of the flight and I will post it with just the sound of the engines. I did have some electrical interference on the audio from the engines so it won't be as pristine as you would like. Keep an eye out here and I will post as soon as possible.
@familyhistoryvideos don't pay attention to it. the music fitted very very well. always someone who *just* wanna hear the engines. we all get it. great video. top score.
I would have loved to have been along for the ride on that B-25, but I would have been almost as thrilled just to have seen (and heard) those aircraft fly over.
The music was composed by Dustin Hahn, who was still a high school student in Bellingham when he composed the score for the movie "Shipyard", a documentary about the Bellingham Shipyards.
