Here’s a longish (~15 minute) [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie3SrjLlcUY&sns=em) about some film taken during WW2 that was recently analysed to locate a pilot seen in it flying a Spitfire. The filmmaker went to interview that pilot and hear his story. Very well done.

Worth seeing. Thanks

First time I’ve seen a Spitfire with US markings.
