Just noticed that Discovery Wings has a segment on April '17 today; showing twice. Am not a-tall optimistic about the quality but will give it a fair trial before switching to Mail Call (or, perish forbid, going back to work on the Philippine Sea ms!)

Hi Barrett,
If I'm not mistaken, I think this is one of the four segments of the "Four Years of Thunder" series. If so, it's not too bad at all, as Walter Boyne and the H Hugh Wynne film collection at UTD were involved. Greg

Actually, it has little to do with Bluidy April; it's a more generic treatment of the air war with some excellent footage and really peculiar text: the Gotha campaign was timed to get JG.I, etc., up and running!

On that basis, I got what I came fer. Tuned out the narrative, pretty much... Never seen a Flying Staircase (a pal) - seeing a Handley Page get rolled out and unlimbered was a treat. . . Always enjoy footage from Old Rhinebeck, which certainly 'splains the skidders outboard of the lowest wing on Dr's. What a World Class Wobbler that bus was. (hokey smokes, Rocky) C+. B- if you made popcorn. A++ for footage.
