Outstanding Douglas B-26 Invader preparation close-ups from the Korean War

It's September 6 and 7, 1950. The Korean war is about two months old (this corrects an error in the voiceover version for this video), and U.S. Air Force Douglas B-26 Invader bombers prepare to launch sorties form Iwakuni, Japan. Japanese laborers mix napalm into drums and pump the jelled mixture into drop tanks under the wing of a B-26. This collection of B-roll footage of B-26 preparations includes fueling the bombers, and arming their wing-mounted .50-caliber guns as well as a later view of arming the nose guns.
8th Bomb Squadron flight crews scramble over their B-26s to board them. Engines turn over, and the Invaders taxi toward the runway. B-26 Invaders flew the first, and the last, American missions of the Korean war.
As we remember our veterans on this Veterans Day, 2023, we thank those men and women who served in Korea and around the world throughout the years to protect our country and our allies.
