That was a great film. The model work was........interesting. That counter though should be shoved up someones :butthead: sideways. That was annoying.

I kinda liked watching the Navy guy flying the P-35 in stormy weather and the P-26 dive bombing sequences. Neat peek into the immediately before things went sideways era of Navy flying.

The newest bird in those clips were TBD's. I would have to guess that the film is from 38 or 39 as they were flying off Enterprise. Besides the counter being hateful, wouldn't have been great if the film was in color.
