P38 flight instruction Part 1

The original introduction training film for the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. In part #1, bailing out, takeoff and handeling are covered. This video has what was then state of the art graphics, now we see it as cartoon drawings. In color with some very rare footage.

Thank you! This is an absolute treasure for anyone knowing anything about aviation in any era of its life.
I never thought I would ever get to see something like this. This is genuine Old School and I absolutely love it!
Again, thanks!
A very rare find on Youtube.

Nostalgia is at its peak. Now they are using industrial lasers to pare down chunks of metal blanks to actually create the original part for vintage WW2 fighter and bomber planes as spare parts are becoming scarce. I wonder how the start procedures of modern military propellor aircraft engines compare to WW2 planes.

@colindhowell Thank you!

@mwp62 My guess would be Burbank. That's where Lockheed's plant was. At that time Lockheed owned that airport, and it was called the Lockheed Air Terminal.

Wow. I like to imagine that the P-38 came in a huge box with a manual, warranty card, this film in a canister, some blank ammo, a set of decals, and a flyer advertising Lockheed's other products. Fuel sold separately.

Great Stuff!

The beginning sounded more like a commercial than a training film. I was glad when the narrator got serious.

Very informative video. Now all I need to do is get my own P-38 somehow =(

Thanks for this amazing post.

I like it: "A fighting man's airplane" Awesome

Where did you find this video? They are about as rare as WWII planes.
