There's a bit more coverage of the recovery and rebuild in earlier videos as well:

This should be making it way to the Flying Heritage Collection some time early next year.

Is that an elliptical wing? It looks a bit Spitfire-ish to me.

It had way more lift than a Spitfire, had to to carry all the anti tank weapons....

It was the A-10 of WWII.

More important than bread to the GPW, according to Stalin.

Love that landing!
