 SiteLock1961 Air Show USA at Doylestown Video

As part of the Doylestown Airport 80th anniversary celebration, Bruce Rutherford of Rutherford's Camera Store in Doylestown was kind enough to share a video of an Air Show held at the Doylestown Airport (then called Airon Field) back in 1961 and aired on the CBS Sports Spectacular.  The commentators are Bud Palmer and "Pappy" Boyington.  Here is the show in segments.  Not only is the Air Show interesting, the vintage commercials are entertaining as well!  Each segment is available in three resolutions depending on the bandwidth of your Internet connection.  Click on the size under the resolution you desire to view the file.
