B17 and b25 flight

[Keith Webb]

I agree, usually prefer just to hear the engine sounds but I note that was all shot from a helicopter with a Tyler (gyro) mount as well as a couple of onboard POV shots from the B17. Having shot a lot of air to air my experience is you can usually only hear the aircraft you are in, and in the case of the helicopter mount they could not record any at all so have to build a soundtrack. Not impossible but very hard to get right. I have a lot of sound recorded inside the Hudson with the sound of a pair of Wright Cyclones which is awesome in itself but virtually anything shot from the ground has the doppler effect.
They could at least have used the wonderful sound with the few ground to air shots though!

I know they are making the video for the general public who have no appreciation for the sound of those big radials or big Vs. But I love the sound of those engines. It would be great if somebody made a video of some of the great old planes with a really good sound track.

There is one video of the Canadian Landcaster that has some good sound bits in it.
