Hi Gents... (& of course the Ladies amongst you!)

Here are a couple of links to Carrier Ops in the Pacific, not only USN but some rare RN footage as well.

Watching the landings these guys make, all I can say is one word... RESPECT

Landings (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7166330178234459087&q=carrier+ops)

Combat (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5452621640791274884&q=wwii)

You really do need a high speed internet connection for this, if not, your download time will be long as both clips are just over 5 mins long.

I've seen these scores of times.

The bottom lip is still a-tremble, every time.

Thanks, Guys, all of you.

The music for the landings video is "The Might of Rome" from the Gladiator soundtrack.
