Story of a P-47 Thunderbolt unit of the 362nd Fighter Group, filmed in color during the last days of World War II as requested by "Hap" Arnold. Features pilots of the 362nd FG through color footage from March 1945 through the end of the war. Unvarnished and uncompromising, this color film - shot from remote cameras on the planes themselves and specially-equipped bombers following the strike teams - is an extraordinary documentary of the air war over Europe. Includes never-before-seen footage, modern narrations and interviews with the pilots.
