Any of you Wixers out there know if there are any videos available of old firebombers in action, especially B-17's and other WWII warbirds?
Thanks,

I am sure you're familiar with the movie "Always" - there you have A-26, PBY and C-119

Actually, there was a video out about 20 years ago showing all types of firebombers in action. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the name Phillip Wallick was attached to the video in some way. I might be mistaken.
Check Ebay or maybe some specialized video stores. I actually rented it from the New England Air Museum. Neat stuff, but I don't think they have the tape or rent videos anymore.
