World War II Fighters: Hawker Tempest RAF Recognition / Training film.

1 Hour and 7 Minutes film on the Tempest 5.
Be prepared in advance to lose an hour - or stay clear of this gem of a film. You Have Been Warned.
30 seconds in and you are done. Hooked. IMHO Best of its class
- largely due to the pilot's stories and memories of this aircraft appended to this origninal training film.
