" any questions"?...."yeah where are the parachutes"?

Thanks a lot for uploading these videos!!
Very interesting!

Certainty on Robert Stack actor as instructer has dropped to 0%! see wikipedia bio of Arthur Kennedy. Sorry for the distraction from great B17 video. Is there any way to delete a dumb comment?
-
Well, maybe 98% certain and dipping...

I am 99% certain that the instructor/actor is Robert Stack and NOT Arthur Kennedy as found in some of the descriptions. Stack was successful in the movies but was best known for playing Elliot Ness in the original "Untouchables" television series. Also seen in this series is a young Jack Paar who plays the executive officer and in real life went on to be arguably the most popular and influential host of The Tonight Show on TV.

@simonspiers Power yes, RPM no assuming constant speed prop.

Reducing manifold pressure would alter power and RPM would it not?
