Wish I could. When I was flying fun planes the video camera's were too big to hand hold and fly at the same time. Am as well still pissed at myself for not getting any videos of my parents before they passed, so really wished I had a video camera at many times in my life.
Some of the most fun I ever had was flying cropdusting and fire fighting aircraft years ago early on in my career. We had lots of old WW2 aircraft from the P2V Neptune and B-26's. Also had B-17's but I never got to play with that one. Back in the early 1970's WW2 aircraft were still everywhere and not expensive. Also gas was well under .50c a gallon, so you could afford to fly them.
HnT,
Yes have read the book and its a very good one. There are several other excellent books about this time frame.
