Here is a neat short movie about some discovered film and finding a pilot that was a part of it. It's about a US reconnaissance pilot who used a Spitfire to fly lone missions over Germany to get film of target areas.

Vern I got it from one of your old Delta Company guys at my other site. Think he was there just a little ahead of you though. You'll see his post where I stole it from.
