This is the Planes of Fame Museum's (Chino, California) P-38J. A rare and fascinating aircraft. Only one problem; the turbocharged-muffled Allison 12-cylinder engines are just too darned quiet! You may notice a slight difference in aircraft markings between the clips; they were recently changed. But all these clips are of the very same aircraft. Enjoy the video! Added: 09/27/2008

The Curtis P-40 Tomahawk
Before America entered WWII the Flying Tigers were helping the Chinese defend itself against the empire of Japan. Their primary mission was to protect the Burma Road, the primary supply line for China. The Flying Tigers did beat back the Japanese. Their pilots were well seasoned and trained under Brig. General Claire Lee Chennault, who was responsible for many innovative aviation combat maneuvers.

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow
The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was the first operational U.S. military aircraft designed specifically to use radar. The "Black Widow" was an all-metal, twin-engine, twin-boom, aircraft flown as a night fighter by United States Army Air Forces squadrons in the European Theater, the Pacific Theater, the CBI Theater, and the Mediterranean Theater during World War II. On the night of 14 August 1945, a P-61B-2 of the 548th NFS named "Lady in the Dark" was unofficially credited with the last allied air victory before VJ Day. The P-61 was also modified to create the F-15 Reporter, the last piston-powered Photo-reconnaissance aircraft designed and produced for the U.S. Air Force.

Vought F4U Corsair
A French made video about the Vought F4U Corsair. As I do not speak French I don't know when this was filmed. Great flight footage needs no language anyway so enjoy the beautiful Bent Wing Bird.
Vought F4U Corsairs in action in the Pacific. The Corsair became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.
