1941 (1979): Learning to Fly

The clip learning to fly from 1941 (1979)

However, we're installing antiaircraft batteries all over town.
In addition, we have a vast network of civil defense volunteer aircraft spotters...
keeping a constant vigil.
They report their sightings directly to lnterceptor Command Headquarters.
In the event of a sighting that cannot be immediately identified by Headquarters,
we go to a condition yellow as a precaution.
The aircraft maintains its position and attempts to identify it fail,
we go to a condition blue.
The situation persists, we cannot establish radio contact, we go to a red alert.
During a red alert, air raid sirens will sound.
All lights must be turned out. Searchlights will scan the skies for enemy aircraft.
Gun crews will be at ready.
I hope.
Clear the props !
Boost pump on. Energize. Engage. Ignition !
Are we cleared for takeoff ?
B-17, two, seven, one.
Cleared for takeoff on runway one-eight.
Winds from the southwest.
You want the stick ?
Yes, yes, yes. Give it to me.
All right. Now.
We are rolling.
We're rolling down that runway...
faster and faster.
I don't feel any thrust.
Don't worry. You will !
You will. All right, all right.
Max power ! We're past the point of rejection.
Get your nose up ! Pull back on that stick !
Oh, very good.
Landing gear up.
And now we're leveling off at 20,000 feet.
Turn the wheel to the right.
Good. We're at 20,000 feet.
Ow !
