This is a 40 Min. long but great video of American Ingenuity. How Germany and Japan thought that they could beat the USA was showing their stupidity.


How to assemble a P-47 Thunderbolt Fighter in a field with unpowered hand tools (Restored -1944)

This truly remarkable step-by-step training film shows how a ground support crew of fifty men could assemble a P-47 fighter in a farm field using nothing more than muscle, unpowered hand tools and pieces of the shipping crate it came in. We're talking nothing more than hammers, wrenches and bicycle pumps. In "Uncrating and Field Assembly of the P-47" you'll get a unique look at the inner workings of the big Jug as it is bolted together. Then a pilot jumps in and flies it away! A must see for P-47 fans and shade tree mechanics alike.
