This is a compilation of two films shot during the September, 1945 airshow at Freeman Field. The aircraft seen both in the air and on the ground are nothing short of spectacular. Many of the remaining captured aircraft have yet to arrive. Our thanks to the Freeman Army Airfield Museum who provided the video.

Sue, but it was no big deal to have warbirds flying when they were new.

Makes me just want to cry. I see all those people, full of relief from the end of the war, perhaps hope for a peaceful future. So much ahead.

Nearly all gone now.

This was my father's generation.
