US Army Air Force. Cameramen: Johnson, Doebler, Jackson.

Scenes shot from a plane of the strafing of a town and/or a farm in Germany (lots of green space). An airman holds a slate reading: "SFP 186 Johnson [cameraman] Strip Y-73 Group 362 Sqdn 7 Plane [?] Date 19 May [?] Pilot Hunter" Two soldiers stand in front of a sign that reads "Hells Angels 303rd bomb group." Scenes shot from a plane showing strafing of the German countryside. Strafing a train and railroad tracks. Quick shot of a slate with most of the same information as the earlier one, except that the strip is A- 82 and the pilot is Doebler. More shots of strafing. Very quick slate indicates that the cameraman is Jackson, strip Y-64, date April 1945. Strafing continues.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=2608)
