Yanks flying Spitfires
An interesting account of an American pilot flying photo recon missions over Germany from an airfield in the UK.
The Spitfires were not armed; the guns and ammo were apparently replaced by cameras.
He'd never seen the film of his wheels up landing; so when the films were restored after years of being in a closet somewhere in California, he was pleasantly surprised.
If this has been posted before, I'll ask a mod to merge or burn.
My search didn't turn anything up.
The film first explains how this film clip was made (the flight surgeon took moving pictures of about everything, apparently) and a few other things about the armed recon Spits.

Nostalgia link should be the primary. We'll close this one.
