This show depicts 3 different P-51 Mustangs in Action during 2013 and 2014 in the Cincinnati area. Who doesn't like P-51's? These were the ultimate allied fighter planes at the end of World War II, and they were instrumental in protecting allied daylight bombers in Europe. With drop tanks they could go all the way to the target and back escorting the bombers the entire day and fend off attacks by enemy fighter planes. In addition they were used on ground targets as well as enemy aircraft. With the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine they were indeed the cream of the allied crop.
We begin with P-51D "The Brat III", then see "Cincinnati Miss", and "Red Nose". In each case you will see good close-up action, as well as other things like engine starts, One aircraft we watch during a morning testing session where they make three takeoffs and landings in a row, and we are close to the action. Later we see this plane (Red Nose) doing low passes over the airport near us. These are impressive aircraft for sure. If you like good sounding aircraft then don't't miss this great action.
Standard Definition, or HD Blu-Ray. Color with live audio. 90 Minutes

The segments shown in order are: J9D The Brat 3 Built in 1944 on Saturday June 28th & Sunday June 29th 2014 at Lunken Airport with The Last B29 Fifi on display, LHO The Cincinnati Miss on Friday June 6th 2014 at the Claremont County Airport with a Take-off from a T2B & Another Plane which is the shortest segment in the program, & QPG Red Nose Built in 1944 at Lunken Airport on Friday June 20th & the following Saturday June 21st 2014 with the Dauntless, a T6, & a vintage 1960s Ford Mustang. While this 2016 title is one of the very first WWII aircraft titles from the late Greg to be released on Blu-Ray along with the Dauntless, it's also one of the last WWII aircraft titles to be narrated by John Edward Hingsbergen. In Fact, some deleted scenes can be found in Greg's final WWII title from 2022 before he sadly died on December 9th 2023: Warbirds 2013 to 2016.
