Aerial Bombs: Method of Loading Bombs – 1941 US Army Air Corps Training Film
Considering today is June 6th, the 73rd Anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Nazi Occupied Europe, I think it would be a fine day to share a few World War 2 related informational videos; in this case, a film showing the process of how bombs are loaded onto a B-17 bomber. I never thought there […]
