A little over 10 minutes long but worth for you WWII buffs.
bill word

Can you imagine an airshow today  with the following aircraft?: Ju88, Arado 234, Me-262, Me-163, Ju-290, A6M Zero,  Macchi 202, Spitfire, Bf-108, B-32 Dominator, B-24. B-17, B-29, B-25.  Thunderbolt low passes, Waco glider aerial pckup, Mitchells doing low-level  bombing demos, etc..... not to mention  the Heinkel 111, Me-410, German helicopters, V-2 and V-1 rockets, early  C-82........!!!


This is a compilation of two films shot during the September, 1945 airshow  at Freeman Field. The aircraft seen both in the air and on the ground are  nothing short of spectacular. Many of the remaining captured aircraft have yet  to arrive. Our thanks to the Freeman Army Airfield Museum who provided the  video.

Kinda looks like Omar Bradly but I'm not sure.
