P47 - Flight Instructions

[fiddlinjim]

New P47 pilots may find the following information helpful. 

In 1943 the army made 3 instructional movies for potential new P47 pilots and they are posted on You Tube.

"How to fly the P47"

Video one is on familiarization with the planes systems and cockpit controls.

Video two deals with startup, taxi, take off and landing

Video three is for flying and acrobatics

Each video is approx 22 minutes, hope they help in flying this big heavy bird

Very cool! Never seen these I'll check them out. I also saw on my Netflix there's a P-47 show with lots of old footage I'll have to check out.
