National Geographic Channel had a great little show last night if you didn't see it, "Heroes of WWII: The Mighty Eighth Air Force". I'm sure it'll be on again.  :bigthumb:

Wish I had caught that. I scanned their upcoming schedule but it's not in there.

Strange to think that the Italian Airforce also took part in the bombing of the UK.

Whenever I seer any Grumman amphibian plane I'm always reminded of the film Murphy's War, with Peter O'Toole. It's not the greatest WW2 flick out there but I saw it when I was young and it stuck with me.
If you have not seen it I'd recommend giving it a look. Some great shots of flying along the Orinoco River and a requisite 70's downbeat ending.
