At 4:24 he taxied behind the C47 blocking the camera mans view, and one second later at 4:25 the P47 was taking takeoff. The camera man had to plenty of time to reposition for a better view of the takeoff because the P47 was at the far end of the runway (out of sight) warming up for 20 to 30 minutes before the camera man filmed the take off.
