Nice! Take a look at the opening of the John Wayne movie "The High and the Mighty". This clip looks exactly like the DC4 in that movie with the same low-level takeoff.
I sometimes wonder why they don't use even just a little flap on takeoff with these old propliners. The takeoffs seem so flat and shallow, as if there just wasn't enough lift in those wings. Wouldn't even 15º flaps make a nice difference with minimal drag?

There's a secret aerosol spraying program going on around the world... Search for "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather". This is pretty important. Research. View my vids. Wake up and wake others. Defend freedom!

personally i would have gone to the end of tarmac and be slightly further a way but still probably the best take of video i have seen.

If you look close there is about 10 to 15* of flaps on takeoff. However i'd say the shallow climb was intentional to buzz the camera man.

@Coaljet
They do takeoff with flaps, and if they don't there are reasons not to.

The piston-prop planes could not climb like today's jets. Looked like a typical takeoff
