I wonder where this is being done at? It looks like a US "colonial era" church (lots like that here in Virginia), but perhaps it's in the UK? I love this tune, the song and strong congregational singing (all due respects to robed choirs).

Music is a fancified version of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home, " which dates from the American Civil War.

Don't like use of the "Battle of Britain" music at the end!

Great footage. I was the Senior Flight Commander for this one, in charge of the instructors and aggressors, and responsible for the 'scenario.' I remember this dispersal for rainy and extremely muddy conditions at Marche-en-Famenne. The Belgian helicopter at the beginning was courtesy of yours...

What about the "real world" CV-6 and CVN-65? Where do you think Roddenberry got the idea for the name "Enterprise?"

This was indeed a herioc mission. Thirty years ago it was my honor to actually meet General Leon Johnson, one of the five Ploesti Medal of Honor winners. General (then Colonel) Johnson was the commander of the 44th Bombardment Group, which later became the 44th Missile Wing. I served in the 44...

actually, this is full of mispellings -- e.g., wire for briar, and it's 'Mississippi.'

Pretty cool video. Saw a mid-70s Dodge, but no '74 or '75 Plymouth Furies, which were really common as State Police/Highway Patrol cars then.

What a mean and vindictive God this video depicts. If true, this is not a being I would ever worship.

The music from the original motion picture (and VHS) is so inspirational...I don't know what changed with the DVD, but the music is mundane and the Churchill quote is wrong (El Alamein). This music, beginning with the high strings and moving to the brass, gives the viewer/listener a sense of red...

The reason this lovely theme is not played now is because WMAL has been debased into a hate and fear mongering forum for right-wing ranters. I too miss the "Joy Boys" and "Hardin and Weaver."

Ref clanmacduff's comment...the Heinkel was not well armed like the B-17s or B24s...just a few .30 caliber guns versus 10-13 .50 cals for the 8th and 15th AF heavies. Our bombers' gun positions were designed for mutual support (i.e., justifying a tight formation), the Heinkel was not. If they'...

ahh-- the correct "heavenly" music and credits from the VHS version. The DVD version has "regular martial" music that is uniquely unsatisifying -- and the wrong quote from Churchill. Only "the few" quote is appropriate in this case. To all you Yanks who may be reading this -- the Brits really...

The Brits gave most of the P-39s/P-400s back to us (they were that disenchanted); they wound up for the most part being sent to the South Pacific where they served with the "Cactus Air Force" on Guadalcanal. As the Zero significantly outclassed the P-39, the USAAF pilots who flew them were indee...

cute.... the Zero in US markings...& the Hellcat in Japanese...

never saw a PE-8 in US markings before...

Despite all the stuff the Brits in history did that piss me off (Ireland & India come to mind), they and all the other flyers (Czech, Pole, U.S., Canadian, New Zealander, etc.) that made up 'the few' saved western civilization's bacon in the summer of 1940.
