Supposedly new p-47 guncam footage

Just found it, it's labeled as such, and I can't vouch that it is "recently declassified" or anything but I haven't seen it and that's good enough for me. Good stuff.

I have seen some of that footage, so I wouldn't call it "recenly declassified". But it is good footage nonetheless.

Yes, its great footage.

I think a lot of the aircraft strafing footage was taken in April 1945 when all the fighters were turned loose on the remaining German airfields.

Yeah I've seen it before, looks like footage from the doco Thunderbolt that was made during the war. Could be wrong though.
