How does the bombs get so fast?

@scatdawg123 Maybe YOU should learn proper English. If you´d known the language, you´d have understood that the narrator said that the bombs come to a speed of 750 miles per hour.

Old movie, amateur motion picture camera operator inside moving airplane, the camera shot very fast. Think before you say something. And write proper English.

"Return to America to train new crews." This use of human resources contributed to victory even more than industrial might. The Axis powers never matched it--they kept their men fighting until they were killed

I just saw the Belle at Wright Patterson. It was amazing.

The belle in it's hayday was amasing! and now that it is being restored in Dayton OH I can go and see it any time, though its story after the war is a sad one It finaly ends with a happy ending.

In the 1980's, the Memphis Belle was touring the U.S. and stopped in WPB, FL. My family (me, pregnant wife, and two daughters), paid about $15 per person to take a walk through tour of the plane.
I'm 6'-2", and had to walk bent-over throughout the plane. Unbelievably small work areas. Would have felt like a flying coffin realizing that 5000 of the 12,000 B17's mfg were lost on missions.
Young and brave men. Really loud aircraft. Amazing to see it fly in, and returned to watch it take off.
