Mike, the Skyraider was more a progeny of the SBD Dauntless.
The AAF wanted to go after the Luftwaffe as much as 6 months prior to the operation described in the video. But Eisenhower wouldn't let them, insisting that they keep hitting factories.
But the key to all of it was "oil". We may say "duh" now, but the Allies just didn't understand how vulnerable the German oil supply was. Albert Speer thought the end had come when Ploesti was bombed. He was rather dumbfounded that the Allies didn't keep bombing there as he was convinced it would have ended the war as much as 6 months faster.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.

Great video! Thanks!
The local aviation museum has 2 in flying condition. As well as its progeny of sorts, a Skyraider.
The p-47 Thunderbolt was an awesome piece of kit! Like a '57 Chevy Bel Air it was big heavy-metal like none other.

This is what victory looks like.
Victory.
Choose your path wisely.
