WW2 Aircraft Wrecks

[mattnelsable]

where is 0:41? Is this in the cheviots in Northumberland?

[ajjs02]

2:03 is that a P38 Lightning??...

[FiveCentsPlease]

@ajjs02

Yes. Serial number 42-13400 crashed after colliding with the terrain. It was recovered in 1999 and restored to static display condition. It is on outdoor display at Elmendorf AFB. I don't believe in putting rare aircraft on outdoor display and exposed to weather and the elements, so I'll guess it will keep rotting away again.

[adamlake007]

1:30 is that a lancaster bomber??

[Grandizer8989]

The Zero at 1.00 is in Peleliu

[Grandizer8989]

"and watch"

[Grandizer8989]

Check out my channel ad watch the Peleliu vid. That I made... I found a Zero ad a B24 wing

[Grandizer8989]

Great job putting this video together...how did you get that glossy look on the pix? photoshop?

[Bulletmagnit312]

Beautiful video

[xRemRooodx]

kinda strange to se pic were people laugh and sit were a person died a terrible death, But it is fun to watch videos of history.

[qdkproduction]

1:30 poor flight beast i hope it can be repair

[saranovitch]

Bonanza. How recent these photos?

[saranovitch]

Valuable even for pattern making and fabricating authentic replacement parts.This is not a poor man's hobby though. It takes bucks to aquire, transport, house, facilities( Aircraft Works), fueling, pilot and machine certifications.......You know what makes aircraft fly? Money.

[saranovitch]

Diamonds in the rough.

[saranovitch]

collecting peices to make puzzles. a collage of components, finishing and then they look like new. important peices, do not discard. thousands of hours of tinkering entertainment too.

[starguard]

Sadly times like this will come again, for only the dead have seen the end of war

[megamaster1011]

the sad thing is, there are too many of these. also too many dead pilots, too many of which are forgotten.

[08CJ11]

3:06 any info on that, looks interesting

[MisogiWaAikidoDesu]

@08CJ11

This is a P-38 of the "lost squadron" which consisted of a few P-38 and B-17. Those planes lost their way near Greenland in 1942 and were forced to crash-land in the middle of nowhere. All pilots were rescued, but their planes got covered with 300ft of ice and snow over the years. The P-38 shown was recovered in 1992, is today know as the "Glacier Girl" and is airworthy. The others are going to be recovered, but the team needs more investors.

[TtimWh]

wow, i must say I was quite moved...there is something deeply poetic and emotional to those pics

[TheFluffy47]

getting that Bf109 and Fw190 air worthy would be awesome

[FiveCentsPlease]

@TheFluffy47

The Fw190 is already finished, and the Bf 109 is will be after rebuild.

[TheFluffy47]

@FiveCentsPlease Wow! Is the Fw190 airworthy yet? Cant wait to see them both.Thanks!

[FiveCentsPlease]

@TheFluffy47

The Fw190 has been airworthy since Dec. 2010. Search for any Flying Heritage Collection video to see it. They will only fly it few times a year at the museum, so check their schedule.

[bud8fan1]

The song sucks, the planes should rest were they lay, and not be restored and i love how so many people on the posts on you tube feel the need to always be CORRECT or CORRECT others.

[FiveCentsPlease]

@bud8fan1

The romantic notion that the planes will be there forever is wrong. The planes won't last indefinitely and will either corrode into nothing or be slowly picked apart for scrap metal. The only protection remaining for them is to get them relocated to a museum or collector to be preserved as-is or be restored. The only exception should be those which are war graves.

[kenny1971k]

the p 38 at the 3min mark has been rebuilt to flyable condition renamed glacier girl and is in a hanger in middlesboro ky

[noweedman]

whats the music to your video please?? regards from europe

[stehsunrise]

beautiful song... and sad as the wrecks

[wolfakuehlen]

the Zuider Sea in the Netherlands is supposed to be a treasure trove of WW II aircraft from both sides. With the partial draining of the Sea some great finds have been made

[olentangy74]

If you would be so kind, the B-24 @ 0;50, the B-25@ 1:30, and the PBY @ 3:22. Where are they, and are they still there?

[kgs42]

Very effective ...... thanks - elegaic; they look right laying where they fell. Something right about leaving them to nature - though it is tempting to want to preserve them.

[ncc74656m]

I'd give everything I own and more to be able to have a functional P51-D with the RR Merlin and a set of drop tanks. I'd totally just die.

[gtazocker312]

This pics together with that music give me strange feelings....I dont know why.....

[besni999]

how manny b-17 bombers were shot down in ww2?

[1999sebring]

what kind of plane is the one from1:23 to 1:27?

[cornhoolio345]

damn that 109 at the end is in good shape considering being abandoned for 6 to 7 decades

[Lockbar]

Great stuff! Good job putting this together.

[mmkropp]

whats the deal with 109 at the end... whos is ... where is it? thanks

[FiveCentsPlease]

@mmkropp

No. 3523 Built as an E-1, upgraded to E-7 serving in Africa and then Eastern Front. Shot down during an escort mission by Russian Hurricanes on 4-4-42 and made a belly landing on a frozen lake. It sank after Luftwaffe crews removed a few items. Pilot survived but KIA later. It was recovered from the lake in 2003 and is now under private ownership at the Planes of Fame museum. Restoration has just been started to authentic condition with the goal of an airworthy rebuild.

[mmkropp]

@FiveCentsPlease thanks alot

[Auggie56]

3:27 That "Cat" was in civil registry when it came down.

[frog77]

war is terrible thing i look at this and think of the young men/boys who lost there lives. sad realy.

[gtazocker312]

im sad now :( i cant believe that this planes flew almost 100 years ago...and then got destroyed

[VancouverCanucksRock]

@gtazocker312 LOL, you're sad about the planes, what about the people, pal?

[skibdattles]

@gtazocker312 Wow its 2045 already?

[gtazocker312]

@skibdattles I SAID "ALMOST"

[paulodiasdesign]

@gtazocker312

1939 ~ 1945 - 2012 = 73~67 years!!!! wow

[altermann555]

@gtazocker312 100 years ? LOL

[gtazocker312]

@altermann555 almost -.-

[06DESMARAIS]

Wow soo many wrecks and so many deaths. For each wreck aircraft there was a soul or more in it

[AV8R]

A few of those warbirds are restorable. Hope it gets done.

[bectes1995]

@AV8R Restoring them would be good but as you know, everything is behind the money

[MrPinkfloyd995]

every one of these planes tells the real story of ww2 and the men of lived and died in that time

[sargentwrecker]

this is the real histroy not the shi- we read in books really like your post thanks for sharing

[scottturchin]

Beautiful!

There's a B17 in the Olympic Mtn's, near Tubal Cain mine - scattered all over, not much left.

A b29/54 in a pond in Eilson AFB Alaska - I swam in that one. I love to see them all preserved if possible!

[sickcunt1218]
