Teen Age Air Warrior: Addendum I to Teen Age Air Warrior

Video titled: Conquest By Air 1945

A great video that starts out in 1942 but covers a narrative of many of the missions that my father was on along with some fantastic clips of the combat. This actually mentions the bombings of the synthetic oil plant missions that my father was on about 8 minutes into the film. Minute 13, the bombing of the tank factory, my father's Mission, Oct 19, 1944 ! At around 15 minutes this starts what is reel 3, which begins covering the bombing of the railroad marshalling yard, which my father was on several missions for 1944 & 45 ! Including the Feb. 22 & 23 1945 missions discussed! You can look at my father's lists of missions here on the blog and see the video mentioning the areas that were bombed and some of the dates.The video is in parts on YouTube and can be found if you search on the title, the links have changed.
