 "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 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 Black Widow"
- Flying the P-61 Series Airplane: The Northrop "Black Widow" Night Fighter (1944, B&W)

 "The Hustler" -
- The Convair B-58: Champion of Champions (1962,Color) At Mach2+, the "Hustler" was the World's first supersonic bomber. She immediately set an unpreceidented (and since unequaled) series of 14 speed and altitude records. Jimmy Stewart takes you on the tour -- and flys this magnifcent aircraft!
-
 "The Sabre Jet"
- 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.
- World War II Trainer Videos Now Showing
 "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!"

 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)
- (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.
