P-38 Reconnaissance Pilot (1944, B&W, 29:00) Starring William Holden as Lt. “Packy” Cummings, this short feature shows that photo recon pilots (photo Joes) had one of the riskiest, highest impact jobs in the war.

In the John Wayne movie: Flying Tigers, (1942) real Curtiss P-40s are featured. A New York Times critic called the P-40 “the true stars” of the film. Republic Studios also built replicas for the film due to material shortages during the war.
