My grandfather flew 22 missions in a B24 in WWII in Cerignola, Italy, and whistles it when he tells us what life was like in the war.

[coldmaxmax]

[TopazDupree]

We sang this in music class in elementary school in the early 1950s, along with the Navy and Marines songs, too. Sure brings back memories. Thanks for posting.

King of Battle....

[sauron249]

My grandfather was in the US army during WW2 but the weird thing was my great grandfather was an officer for the Germans during WW2.

[KingConservative]

This was my dads song. He completed 43 missions as a B-17 bomber pilot.

[TrashMagnavox]

A hardy THANK YOU to your dad.

[coldmaxmax]

@TrashMagnavox where did you find this thing and when you did you restore it oh and you have a good song

[TrashMagnavox]

@coldmaxmax Thanks. I found this in the trash along a road in Ross Twp. I "restored" it a couple years ago just by wiping the dust off the cabinet, spray painting the grill, moved a speaker to the main cabinet so it would pick up nicer with a microphone and moved the amplifier to make room for the speaker. The video "Svefn-G-Englar" on my channel has some pictures.

[ryanlim2002]

@KingConservative NICE. Raining hell from above.

[MrInternet69]

Yes! Now that's a record!!!!

[rickdog1998]

[redstripe77]

wow my grandfather passed this year and he served as a plane mechanic in the Army Air Corps during WWII. It gave me goosebumps listening to this. Thank You!

[TheAmericanCanadian]

sorry for ur loss

[gordon423]

you can find it on itunes

[GoWulfpack]

GO STATE!!!

[TrashMagnavox]

That's what the label said and I'm stickin' to it.

[Imakefunofpeople]

Wild Blue Yonder is the AF theme, Caissons is Army. The label says "Army Air Corp." and plays both is probably because the Army Air Corp is a branch of the Army, but it's an aerial organization.

Or, if this is really old, it might be from when there was no Air Force, just Air Corp part of the army, and so both for whatever reason were the theme.

Also, hac522, calm the fuck down, it's a song.

[legoeasycompany]

@TrashMagnavox labels don't lie back then so your right

[FROMMKJ]

Moron...before the Air Force was its own branch it was the Army Air Corps and this song originated during the WWII. Once the Army Air Corps became its own branch they changed the lyrics from Army Air Corps to Air Force... So it is the army air corps song...later renamed the air force song.

[DoctorQuackenbush]

Actually, label notwithstanding, this is "As The Caissons Go Rolling Along, written in 1908 by 1st Lt Ed Gruber for the Army. It was rewritten by H. W. Arberg in 1952, changed to "As The Army Goes Rolling Along" and officially adopted. The Army Air Corps song (yes, before the Air Force was separated from the Army in 1947) starts "off we go into the wild blue yonder" and has a quite different melody.

[Lumotaku]

@FROMMKJ This song is from the 1890s moron its the field artillery march.

[StevieGreig1]

the aac is now the USAF. They split in 47 and the changed the name of the song to wild blue yonder and replaced aac with USAF.

[DONTdoSMACK]

@hac522 "NOTHING CAN STOP THE ARMY AIR CORPS" Those are the lyrics. The Army goes rollin along is still in use today.

[trekkieguy34]

@hac522 All i can say is what you said was complete and utter stupidity. I will not even attempt to correct everything that is wrong with what you said except 1. Yes this is the song for the Army Air Corps as the Army Air Corps acted as almost a totally separate branch during. 2. This song is used today by the air force but where the song says "Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps" It now says "Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force

[sergeantsafrit]

Nice song, I love the air corps song, is there anyway to get that in an mp3?

[TrashMagnavox]

I record off my sound card. If you like I can PM instructions.

[vinylman86]

nice tune! i was going to ask you to play a 78 on that someday, but you beat me to the punch. thanx!

[TrashMagnavox]

Cool! Thanks!

[PostToastie]

Good one! I can't believe that piece of trash still works, did you restore it or just plug 'er in?

[TrashMagnavox]

Thanks! I cleaned the motor and idler wheel and moved the speakers and amplifier. Wiped the mud off the case. But otherwise, this is pretty much how I found it.

[jasonlava]

Is that the actual audio from the Magnavox?

[TrashMagnavox]

I connected the cartridge directly (through a pre-amp for EQ and then a mixer) to the computer for this video. The PA I use for miking stuff is at a buddy's house.

[TrashMagnavox]

So... uh, yeah, it's from the Mag.

[coldmaxmax]

@TrashMagnavox where exactly did you find that thing and good choice of music

[jasonlava]

It was found in the trash but not a piece of trash. You can't kill a Magnavox. =D

[BrooklynMouse]
