An excellent film showing how easy it is to fly a DC-2, PT and P-26 among others, and why it's just like driving a Chevrolet! 8)

Great footage, but I'd got quite tired of being shouted at by the narrator by the end. Also, anyone able to say what's wrong and right about the theory of lift as stated in the film?

Randy - has the USAF training changed at all from the USAAC syllabus? I can just see the F-15 drivers learning Morse. :D
