Country:  | Suprisingly theres actually some video footage of P.108s. I was watching something about bombers on the military channel and they had about 2 minutes of footage of the crews putting their gear on, climbing into the aircraft, and taxiing onto the runway. I wish I had a vcr so I could've recorded it.
