gmd flag 1944-6-6 d day

blood boiling time of fight for a great cause - young, never tired, non stop going.

new colonnal wears the jacket of back-sign - 1948 more space, less people, general talks with colonnel not seating but walking around "let us have a walk" like Steve Jobs (talkiing walking meetings)

Idiotic acting: running to fight enemy, but one hand holding up his helmet!

The movie was made in 1948 and finding ME-109 for a movie would be difficult at best. I know that P-47

were flown as bomber escorts as well as P-51 and

 

 

 

that P-47 were used for low level ground support as told by a pilot who flew in eastern France in late

1944. My father fought in eastern France and

 

 

witnessed P-47 ground support.?

 

 

Fighter Squadron is a 1948 American World War II aviation war film in Technicolor. At an American air base in England in 1943, conniving, womanizing Sergeant Dolan (Tom D'Andrea) manipulates everyone, while insubordinate, maverick pilot fighter ace Major Ed Hardin (Edmund O'Brien) gives his commanding officer and close friend, Colonel Brickley (John Rodney), headaches by ignoring the out-of-date rules of engagement formulated by Brigadier General M. Gilbert (Shepperd Strudwick). When Major General Mike McCready (Henry Hull) promotes Brickley to whip a new squadron into shape, Brickley also recommends Hardin as his replacement.

My Dad was a P51 pilot, first an instructor in Florida, then flying escort missions out of England. He didn't talk much about it, but he did tell me one incredible story about how he was flying low over a line of German airplanes that were parked outside of a huge repair hanger. He explained how the machine gun was synchronized to shoot through the propeller. Anyway he wanted to get all the planes but was getting close to the hanger ; he did get the last plane and at the same time realized he had no time to pull up over the hanger. But the front door of the hanger was open, at this point he explained two things 1 the rear doors were always kept closed 2 he thought he was going to be dead in a few seconds. As he flew into the hanger he saw the light of day at the rear door( I have to thank the guy who left it open because if he didn't I wouldn't be writing this) ! So there were planes being repaired inside and one German worker was up on a scaffolding with a wrench in his hand. Looking my dad right in the eye as he flew into the hanger waving his wrench and shouting angry slogans ! But my dad complimented him because he threw the wrench at him with such accuracy and timing that he hit the P51 at 150+mph! He laughed all the way back to England! Off we go into the wild blue yonder!!!!!!?
