The propellers were hardly spinning, how did the plane move forward?

[ctrot]

The video I took was with a pocket digital camera and they don't take fast frame videos. Trust me the propellers are going fast enough.

I looked up the serial on the 381st website. Do you remember the planes name? (Markings show 534th squad, 381st bomb group, 1st air division.)

is it spinning so fast that it looks like its going slow?? whats goin onnn

[ctrot]

The video on digital cameras have a slower number of frames per second which makes the propellers look like they're going slow.
