P.S. The Stearman is the best looking, sounding, and performing Bi plane for it's intended purpose in my book. Wonderful aircraft.

Music is way over distorted from the transfer. These and many others needs to be digitized frame by frame. Showing old analog on a digital set is terribly blurred. These are outstanding but need correction for todays equipment.

Funny how he explains the reason for shoulder harnesses then he probably drove his car home with nothing.

My Dad was in this training in ‘43 before transferring to sub service (same pay lol). I remember him telling me one day some officers carrying sticks showed up and inspected the planes; any plane with a small hole or other defect but flyable was made unflyable ( with a stick) so it HAD to be repaired. They then got back in their car and left. I guess they did those things...

19:18 Wait if the fuel is known for burning the skin then why are you supposed to put your finger in the fuel tank? Did they have those hand suction fuel gauges back then(like a “fuel-hawk”), or even a measured stick? Also 29:34 makes me wonder whether or not I was taught a bad habit by my instructor(we did this all the time during my training in a Cessna).

I love these old documentary films. My dad flew these and others. He was 101st airborne, and D-DAY survivor flying black gliders and recon. Just bought one of these, only in RC Great Planes, and with a real radial engine.
