NOTE: the music was pulled from this video, for copywright reasons. But other videos still have it! Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhpFwpu0mGw&feature=related
Here is a direct link to YouTube for seeing Mathilde Egyed's video honoring my Fic, "Thunderbolt Over Burma". It is a wonderful presentation, with clips from, "Pearl Harbor" and other war films, with actors Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale standing in for Tom Howard and Caroline Challenger in the Fic.
However, for photos of real P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft and other planes in the Fic, please see my post here in this forum with those photos. That said, the C-47 Dakota with both engines turning in the video and the B-25's taking off from the USS Hornet in the video do portray planes mentioned in my story. Of course, the swarm of Japanese planes in her video are like those in the story, too.
I am deeply grateful to the Hungarian video "ace" for her fine contribution to make the Fic come more alive for those who see her film. Enjoy! I bet it'll bring tears to your eyes, as it did mine. She captured the essence of the Fic, which is an intensely romantic war story, with some good air combat scenes, too.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the video maker is now Dr. Egyed, having received her Juris Doctor diploma in June, 2008.
Congratulations, Mathilde!

I just noticed that there are a couple of viewers' comments posted below the video.
One said that the theme scared her. Well, the Fic IS a war story, but if she'll read it, it is not just scary, but very romantic. If I hadn't made it scary, it wouldn't be a very good war story! 
Another lady said that she has been reading my Fic. Great! I hope she finished it and enjoyed all of it.
Thanks for posting, ladies. I'll tell Mathilde about your comments, in case she hasn't read them.
