Captured aircraft air show – September 1945

During World War II Freeman Army Airfield in Seymour, Indiana, was a training base, but by mid-1945 it became an evaluation centre for captured Axis aircraft. After a few months the airfield featured a most unique collection of aircraft still able to fly. The base held an air show later that year and one could see all the familiar allied aircraft, plus many German fighters, bombers, transports, and the infamous V-2 Rocket.

Make sure you watch both the 10 minute video and the 3 minute trailer film as well.

Here is a link to the original 10 minute video.

Fascinating film. An airworthy Ju88, what would we give for that! And seriously low flying from the P47s. Thanks for the link.

The big Junkers is awesome. I never realized how much bigger than a Condor they were.
