We all appreciate your comments, it's been a true work of love. I can tell you that in the beginning when we started, is NOTHING compared to what this project has become.

At first were were going to make a simple timeline and stick with it but as Neil noted more information kept coming our way. For instance, we received the original 8mm black and white P40 Ranger footage with Herky dropping out of sight off the port bow after taking off. Then we received never seen WWII color film of the 47's at Foggia and Lesina. Then we received color footage of the 51's at Lesina then more photos, collections, emails from veterans, family members.

If this was not enough, we had the opportunity to chill out with a couple of the 15th AF P51 pilots that live near Camarillo. Of those we talked to two 31st fighter group vets, one 52nd FG veteran, one B24 pilot (15th AF), three Tuskeegee pilots and the list is endless.

Putting all this together was a real challenge, what does one do with all this information? Well as Neil often noted, we have enough for three or four DVD's.

The skinners, I can't say enough, true dedication The virtual pilots and their hours of patience following a tight script which we would rehearse once then shoot the final.

Countless of hours by many and I mean many from the photography studio that helped Art Fiedler develop old negatives and to the veterans and their families who took the time to search for critical information ; of course not forgetting some very close friends in Italy and Corsica that searched historical documents for us. Truly truly amazing.

As for costs, it is free no fees, no renumeration nothing, we wont take a penny from anyone, just download it and watch, its that simple.

Some things in life are free, and this is one of them.

Since Part 1 is finished we will be posting the skins used for part 1 for the community in late December for everyone to enjoy. The same will will happen after Part 2 is released, all the aircraft textures used will be posted for everyones enjoyment.

We hope you spread the word and get everyone to watch this documentary on the Checkertails.
