 "The Ensign Eliminator" "Ba Ba Black Sheep"
- The Vought F4U "Corsair" (1944,B&W)
- Known to Japanese pilots as "Whistling Death" for good reason and loved by "the Corps," it took the Brits to figure out how to fly her successfully from carriers and the USN's VF17 "The Jolly Rogers" to pave the way for US Carrier Ops. Featured on the popular TV series "Black Sheep Squadron" with Pappy Boyington's VMF 214.
-
 "The Forked Tail Devil"
- Flight Characteristics of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning
- (1943, color) Lockheed's top WWII test pilots do the check out. This is the versatile plane flown by top Army ace Dick Bong and in the pin point raid that downed Admiral Yamamoto.
 "The Jug"
- How to Fly the Republic P-47 "Thunderbolt (1943, B&W)
- P-47 Ground Handling, Takeoff, Normal Flight and Landing
- Watch the big Jug rock & roll plus turbo-supercharger operation. The Thunderbolt was the first ride in Europe for 56th FG fighter aces "Gabby" Gabreski, Dave Schlling and "Hub" Zemke. The P-47 evolved into the #1 fighter/bomber in the ETO.
 "The Pony"
- Flight Characteristics of the North American P-51 "Mustang" (1944, B&W)
- Lee J. Cobb gets a supporting Oscar. This is the fighter that turned the tide over Europe and finally let the Air Corps take the War deep into Germany. This was the aircraft Chuck Yeager flew to victory.
 "The Hellcat"
- Flight Characteristics of the Grumman F6F "Hellcat" (1944, B&W)
- Rugged, fast, powerful, and produced in great numbers at "the Ironworks," this sweet handling Navy fighter aircraft overwhelmed the Japanese Zero.
 "The Black Widow
- Flying the P-61 Series Airplane: The Northrop "Black Widow" Night Fighter (1944, B&W)
- The Air Corp's first stealth fighter? Big black and heavily armed with radar and canon, this was their first purpose built night fighter.
 "The Iron Dawg"
- Introduction to the Bell P-39 Airacobra (1943, B&W)
- The Russians favorite lend lease import -- a great tank buster on the Eastern Front with a big 37mm canon in the nose.
 "The Flying Tiger"
- How to Fly the Curtis P-40 "War Hawk" (1943, B&W)
- This was the shark mouthed fighter that Claire Chenault's "Flying Tigers" of the AVG used to great effect against the Japanese over China and Burma. And after all these years, it's a star again in "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."
- Look -- a Jet! New
- Flight Capabilities of the North American FJ-2 Airplane
- (1953, color) The FJ-2 was the variant of the USAF F-86 Sabre supplied to the US Navy to meet a crying need for a swept wing, high performance fighter during the Korean War. (In most respects the two planes are identical.) See this agile aircraft put through her paces over the Patuxent proving ground in this vintage pilot training film.

 "The Yellow Peril"
- Primary Flight Training (1944-45, B&W) featuring the Stearman N2S "Kaydet" primary trainer . This sweet handling biplane was the first step up into the sky for tens of thousands of pilots during World War II, and many are still flown by it's legion of loyal fans. Starring and directed by Hollywood legend, actor Robert Taylor.
 The North American AT-6/SNJ "Texan"
- "SNJ Advanced Flight Training" (1953, B&W) Probably the most produced "Advanced Trainer" in history, used by both the US Air Corps (AT-6) and the Navy (SNJ) and by many other nations. Renowned for her nimble, forgiving handling, it's only natural that this was the aircraft chosen when a double was needed for the Japanese Zero in numerous war movies and TV shows, including "Ba Ba Black Sheep" and "Tore Tora Tora!"

- World War II Bomber Videos Now Showing
 The "Flying Fortress'
- Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" Flight Operations
- Boeing B-17 Ground Operations New
- Featured in films like "Twelve O'clock High," the rugged "Fort" was renowned for her ability to bring her crews home, even after sustaining massive battle damage.
- How to Fly the Consolidated B-24D "Liberator" Land Bomber (1943,color)
- Preflight Inspection of the B-24 (1943, B&W)
- The most produced heavy bomber in World War II, this is the aircraft that was flown with such precision in the daring low level raid on the Romanian oil fields at Ploesti.
-
- How to Fly the North American B-25 "Mitchell" (1943, B&W) Is that Tom Clancy at the controls? The versatile "medium" Mitchell was flown off the deck of the carrier Hornet in the epic Doolittle raid on Tokyo, and one version mounted a massive 75mm canon for ground attack.
- How to Fly the Martin B-26 "Marauder"(1944, B&W)
- This video is highly recommended, combining Hollywood drama with great attention to detail. That's "Peter Gunn" in the right seat. The Marauder was fast, unforgiving of rookie mistakes, rugged and heavily armed.
 The "Superfort"
- Boeing B-29 "Super Fortress" Flight Procedures
- and Combat Crew Functioning (1944, B&W)
- The ultimate in piston engine era high tech. Faster than a Zero, with remote controlled gun turrets, this is the plane that made the very long range raids on Japan possible.
 The Douglas A-20 "Havoc"
- Flying the A-20 Bomber (1943, B&W)
- Flown as "the Boston" by the Brits on tree top level 'ramrod' raids over the Continent and as the "Havoc" by the US Army Air Corps skimming the jungles of SE Asia, this magnificent attack bomber is one of the most under appreciated aircraft of World War II.
 The Douglas A-26 "Invader"
- A-26 Flying Tips (1945--B&W)
- WWII, Korea, Indochina, the Bay of Pigs, Laos, Vietnam, the Congo, South America, fire fighting in the Pacific North West -- this fantastic aircraft has seen it all. The most advanced attack plane of the War.
 Bush One's ride.
- The Grumman TBF/TBM "Avenger" Torpedo Bomber
- Flying the TBF (1943 -B&W)
- The rugged Avenger packed a powerful punch and was a key player in many battles in the Pacific.
