P-51 Cadillac of the Sky!

Although actually Rolls Royce of the Sky would be a more accurate description!

True, but that's not what the British Ex-pat said in the movie.


Christian Bale's (Batman) first big role

Empire of the Sun
"Go! P-51 , Cadillac of the sky! P-51 , Cadillac of the sky! Jim, get off the roof! Horsepower! Get down, Jim. Go on, get down! P-51 ! Aren't they beautiful? -Get down! -I touched them! I felt their heat! I can taste them. Oil and cordite."

One of my Favorite shows. I like the WWII episodes best. I belonged to a flying club in Livermore California. One of our members was a WWII Luftwaffe pilot. He was shot down 12 times during the war. Great guy a real Aviator. Everyone lamented his passing.
