Man what a nasty looking crash. I assume it was fatal?

Not to change lanes here, but does anyone know anything about the short video of 2 p-51's that had a mid air. All you see is them come together and one falls and the other one falls afterwards. I saw it again tonight on Battlefront as they were taking about the B-24's and the oil field raids and it was shown again.

I know what you are talking about, but I don't know the out come.

Lynn,
I seem to recall seeing the mid-air video with narration to the effect that the accident happened in Washington state? and was fatal to both pilots. I'm not sure about the location, may have stated Oregon, but the outcome was tragic nonetheless.

Is this the midair to which you were referring?

When I first saw it I thought they were P-40s due to the wing shape, but they were A-25s.

I've seen that clip many times (without the saucer) and never considered that they were A-25s.
Freezing the frames changes your mind doesn't it?
