Running time 56 min. Ways of the Warhawk - How to fly the fabled Curtiss-Wright P-40. In the cockpit, instruction is intercut with actual flight experience. Preflight,  run-up, taxiing, take-off, aerobatics, and emergency procedures are well  demonstrated. Great in-flight footage. (Color, 36 min.)

Recognition of the Japanese Zero - Ronald Reagan made this AAF training film to dramatize the necessity of American pilots’ recognizing the difference between the P-40 and Japanese Zero -  mistaking the two was a common error.

Death Race

I've looked for this movie for sale and it is not available at this time. 

Hello,
I am trying to track down a movie which my father told me about. He remembers seeing it a long time ago, but can't remember the title. He recalls a scene where a damaged P-40 Warhawk and a tank are dueling. The P40 has a damaged radiator and can only run his motor for short flights before landing again. The tank keeps trying to shoot him down but has to try and find him.  Customer.

From the Webmaster:  I found a source for this movie from a man in Canada.  I bought the film and it was great.  However, the VHS Video that I received was a copy and would be against copyright laws in the United States so I did not keep the contact information for the man selling the copies.  This movie is really a good film though.

Pearl Harbor (2001) 
 
 

Amazon.com 
To call Pearl Harbor a throwback to old-time war movies is something of an understatement. Director Michael Bay's epic take on the bombing that brought the United States into World War II hijacks every war movie situation and cliché (some affectionate, some stale)  you've ever seen and gives them a shiny, glossy spin until the whole movie practically gleams. Planes glisten, water sparkles, trees  beckon--and Bay's re-creation of the bombing itself, a 30-minute sequence that's tightly choreographed and amazingly photographed,  sets the action movie bar up quite a few notches. And in updating the classic war film, Bay and screenwriter Randall Wallace  (Braveheart) use that old plot standby, the love triangle--this time, it's between two pilots (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) and a nurse  (Kate Beckinsale) who find themselves stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during what they thought would be a nice, sunny  tour of duty. Then, of course, history intervened.

 For the first 90 minutes of the movie, Affleck and Beckinsale find a nice, appealing chemistry that plays on his strengths as a movie star and hers as a serious actress--he gives her glamour, she gives him smarts. Their truncated romance--the beginning of which is told in  flashback so we can get right to the point where he has to leave her to go to England--works, thanks to their charm. They're no Kate and Leo from Titanic (a strategy the film strives hard toward), but they're pretty darn adorable in their own right. Hartnett, as the not entirely unwelcome third wheel, squints bravely but makes only a slight dent in the film. Everyone else in Pearl Harbor--from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s brave navy seaman to Jon Voight's able impersonation of FDR--is pretty much a glorified walk-on, taking a backseat to the pyrotechnics and action sequences that keep the three-hour film in fairly constant motion. But when that action does take hold, Pearl Harbor is quite a  thrilling ride. --Mark Englehart  ASIN: B00005O892   VHS Release Date: December 4, 2001   Studio: Walt Disney Video   Number of tapes: 2   Directors: Michael Bay   Actors: Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Voight

Although the pressure of making life-and-death decisions in wartime may be more maturely explored in Twelve O'Clock High, Flying Tigers still has enough characterization and action to keep the viewer's attention (not to mention special effects by the pioneering Howard Lydecker). --Mark Savary
