Wings of Freedom

Overview

Host Ted Fitzgerald goes flying with the airman of the Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom Flight and The Commemorative Air Force. We climb aboard the world's only flying B-24J, fly across the Florida Everglades in the nose of a B-17 Flying Fortress and fire up the legendary Merlin engine of the world's only dual control P-51C Mustang. Then Ted takes off for England to search for the home bases of the Mighty Eight Air Force and visits a church with a special connection to the B-17 bomber crews that were stationed nearby. He later drops by a British workshop that is restoring a legend of The Battle of Britain.
