Silent WWII 16mm footage of 14th Photo Reconnaissance Unit P-38 Lightnings (specifically the recon variant designated "F-5") on the tarmac in Colorado Springs, prior to ETO deployment. Photographed by Major James R. Savage, Flight Surgeon, 14th PRU. This footage was used in the 2006 short documentary SPITFIRE 944.
This video file is from the 2005 standard definition telecine session and is not modern HD quality. In the coming months I plan to upgrade the quality of future clips and continue posting my great uncle's footage. Thank you for watching.
