This short film details the aircraft of the United States Army Airforce flying the P38 Lightning and the Supermarine Spitfire during 1943 and 1944.
The film begins with a P38 of the 14th Photographic Unit crash landing at RAF Bolt Head Devon in September 1943. The aircraft was repaired but did not leave until the 20th October 1943 and then returned to its base at RAF Mount Farm in Oxfordshire.
We also can listen to narration from Lieutenant John Blythe recorded in 2005 talking about his experience flying the P38 Lightning and the Supermarine Spitfire on dangerous reconnaissance missions over wartime Berlin.
