Bing Crosby The Song of the Army Air Corps

What's that weird two-engine plane at 1:21?

That was the B-9 bomber. A distant ancestor of the b-17.

Beautiful job! Saw a P-47 and a Douglas A-1 Skyraider fly today at the Flying Heritage Collection in Everett WA. Was looking for Wild Blue Yonder, found this. Great photos and patches.

My Dad was a B-29 tail gunner in the Air corps I have always loved this song. Every year in his memory I go to the Reading Air show dressed as a Pilot and Col in his memory! Thanks for this!

I wish that were still the Army Aviation branch song...

I love this song, but don't love Bing's version. The song was written by Bob Crawford, and if you ever heard him sing it (I did), no one else can match him, even today. The writer of a song usually isn't the best singer of it, but in t his case, he was.

Bing was a greatest singer in 20th century

Im the great-grand daughter of a WWII Army Air Corps veteran, he turned 90 over the summer. This is for you Jack D Shippey, thank you and all the others who served our country.

oh im so sorry *hugz*

Wish my WW!! hero uncle had a computer so he could hear and see this

Hi. I just wanted to know if the WW2 era bombers were any more fuel efficient than modern planes. Thanks!

so many b17

Great job on this video Mr. Cook.  Even though the current day Zoomies forget they started as the Army Air Corps, ripping off this song and keeping it as their own forever links them to their real origin. 

Those who love the vastness of the sky, count me in!

Win fame or go down in flames, so much more than words,Army Air Corps never turned back do to enemy action!

Great post.

Think we're proud of you Boys?
Better believe it!

Alright, rev up the time machine, there is a P-51 calling my name and apparently a pot of gold, LETS GO

My dad, David (Bill) Mortimer play clarinet on sever versions of this with the USAAC overseas orchestra under Glen Miller.

Love Bing...enjoyed this version,
Proud and Lucky to have been
Called American Airman.

I'm actually wearing a flight jacket from 1943

this is adorable and the army air corps song is way better than the air force song now :(

Wow! I can't tell you how hard it's been trying to find a video of the other 3/4ths of this song. Seems like everyone forgot there's another three stanzas after the first.

My grandfather was 8th air force 306 bomb group 423 squadron he flew 34 missions over Europe from October 1944-45 when the war ended iv got to wonder if he hummed this from time to time

Eighty years ago this amazing song was composed and it had evolved into the U.S. Air Force song! 🇺🇸✈️

Can you help? I am looking for a Post-war Theatrical movie about the Army Air Corps, Bomber Pilots, over Europe. It was filmed about 1956 to 1962 and PROMINENTLY featuring the Army Air Corps version of the Air Force song. The film was in black and white. I watched it with my Dad (an Air Corps Veteran) when it first came out and have not heard of it since.

Im 22 and this makes me nostalgic for a time that lies far in the past. These were truly great men... And brave, at that.
