    Apologies if this footage is common knowledge already, but this has to be the best actual combat, colour footage from WW2 i have ever seen. Ariel attacks on ships, kamakizie attacks, at the footage at 5:53, of the leading incendiary bomb, is amazing, you have to marvel at the courage of those men. Would love to read any thoughts or comments. The link is

    That's some pretty good footage there. Especially I think it was 7:31 when that plane was landing - that one man almost got crushed to death but it looked like he made it inside the door just in time.
