i like your title, a tribute to all airmen from all countries. thats very honourable and fair of you, a nice touch. after all, they were all warriors fighting for a cause that, to all of them, was right at the time. respect due to all of them.
amazing footage. but we mustn't forget that this is not a fun sport as it seems to be. these pilots fighted for their lives. and so many of them lost this fight. R.I.P.
Germany,openly torturing and murdering,is a disgrace to humanity.See the generation born between 1930 and 1945.Most of them grew up with the"knowledge"to be the Masterrace,have the right to live at the expence of others.When they had to begin working in the 1950s,Germany started importing foreign workers,allowing them to stay the masterrace.They silenced the generation of their parents about ww2 crimes and persecuted the generation of their children into complete servitude to their state.
There's something I don't understand... some of the planes being shot at just sit there and let themselves be riddled full of holes (see for instance the fighter at 4:03). Why aren't they corkscrewing all over the place trying to shake the enemy?
If you look very closley,alot of those Jap bombers are strapped with the small rocket kamakazi planes in the bomb bays. This must have been during the fight for Okinawa.
american spam, alot of american guncams and appearently guncams of pilots failing to shoot down japanese fighters, the corsair was more dangerous to the pilot then the enemy because of its teething problems that way it earnt its nickname "ensign elimnator" the f6f was outmatched by sevrel other japanese fighters such as: J2M raiden, and the legendery N1K rex, also the Ki-84 Hayate and sevrel others, those fighters gained the upper hand easily over the allied fighters including the P-51 and f6f
@dividednation44 THE CORSAIR HAD AN 11:1 KILL RATIO. 2,140 JAP PLANES AT A LOSS OF 189. You need to study up a little. Those are facts based on the Corsair alone.
@M1GARRAND1 i am not surprised. the corsair was more dangerous to the pilot then the enemy, thats why theey nicknamed it "ensign elimnator" however, japan after 1942 had all trainee aircrews, novices and inexperienced pilots, so evrey amerikan plane would be able to easily rack up high numbers.
@dividednation44 If those Japanese fighter planes really were so superior to p-51s and F6Fs then you are implying that our pilots were superior.
The Japanese planes could not take many hits without falling out of the sky. They just didn't put armor on their aircraft. Big mistake apparently.
They also lost all their experienced pilots early in the war. They sent out an all novice air force against experienced American pilots. It wouldn't have mattered if their planes were superior.
@help8help huh, no, you are not very well informed obviously.
the japanese had better planess but their pilots and coordination was shitty. the P51 was a disaster, many people view it as a wonder in a desperate attempt to pretend that the allies actually had a good plane, which they clearly did not. the japanese replaced their armor with agility and speed, the zero's kill/loss ration was 12:1 when they had the good pilots. long story short: the A6M owns the allied fighters
These japanese bombers were carrying their version of a manned cruise missile of the time. Look close at the belly of the bombers....you will see what looks like two short wings extending out from the bottom of the fuselage...these are wings of the manned bombs developed by the IJA.
The G4M's, twin engined Japanes bombers in the beginning of this video are carrying MXY-7 Japanese Navy Manned, Suicide Attack missiles Known as "Ohka" . Each bomber has a single Ohka slung in the bombay area. Apparently the bombay doors are removed and the missile is carried halfway hanging out. Not unlike how the Bell X-1 was carried by a B-29.
@GRATZIANI2002 I addmit that could be more or less with max 100 planes, that's because the romanian war raports and american war raports were not the same. For example, the air battle from 10 june 1944, above Bucharest. Romanian says that they have 24 victories, and just 2 lost planes, The american reports says that they have 4 kills and 12 planes lost in battle.

Hope youy guys learned to shoot little sharper now in the future....:XD cause guys in video werent no marksmen LOL , Japanese plane probably blew by some other reason than bullet , and whats most disturbing , the "fighter" turns it belly to bomber to break away lots of time so i call fake....
@zoomer70 aerial gunnery is by no means easy the act of shooting a target moving in 3 dimensions while yourself moving in 3 dimensions is very complicated and to be an ace took alot of skill. These days we have computers that tell you where your bullets will go, just get the circle over your target and you'll hit regardless. As for breaking away, thats usually a good idea, unless you were flying an Me-262, flying through the middle of a bomber formation is a pretty bad call
Yes i agree that aerial gunnery took lots of skill those days! as for breaking away i respectively disagree :) as for exposing your planes belly, most of the fighters had radiators,and oil coolers under the fuselage so that is more vulnerable than the top side of the plane plus that when youre breaking away your plane makes bigger target than if you would be diving towards and past your target with great speed,Saburo Sakai and most German Aces used that tactic,great video anyway!

Nice portrayal of the way our guys dealt with both the Japanese and German air forces in the end. It couldn't have happened to a bigger bunch of assho**es.
no no thats another japs plane... u can see it on the fuel dump... if you look video u see that japs zeros often fly with this fuel dump... americans only p 51 used it for long flights... but these is a zero plane...
Amerikanische Propaganda... In Anbetracht dessen, dass da grad Japaner zersiebt werden, welche auch nur Meschen sind, ist diese pseudoheroische Musik mehr als für den Arsch. Dummes Amivolk, die lernen es nie.
was soll man machen? ich denke, dass aber nur die musik der typ eingefügt hat auf deine bezeichnung als propaganda zutrifft. AUfnahmen im Krieg haben ja nichts mit propaganda zu tun.
Tell me something, if you were a pilot and you saw enemies coming onto your land and air, and they are getting ready or already did drop bombs onto your land where you your people have died. Would you let that person go? I mean sure you shot down their plane. But the plane did not do anything. Its just a tool.
That pilot could easy find another one and do the same thing over.
You have to put yourself in their shoes to understand why they did those things.
@Mortimerus WWI was a different time. The cockpits were open and the speeds were slower and the age was more innocent. Back in the 1800's people would say hello when traveling in opposite directions on horse driven carriages too. Today, people flip each other off from inside their safe metal coccoons.
@Mortimerus Just because an aircraft is burning does not mean the job is done.
The only way to make sure an aicraft is not salvagable is to pretty much keep firing until you get some actual results such as loss of control of the aircraft.
But i have to agree with that what matters is that the plane is destroyed.
Pilots would not set out to actually kill but rather cripple the machine, as ammunition is too scarce to waste on further injury once the aircraft is disabled.
@UFPAlexraptor RAF pilots were told to attack fighters hit them if they smoked leave and target either fighters. or main objective.......bombers...... fighters were escorts :) "over britain"..
Betty crews called it the "flying cig lighter" as it caught fire so easily, you had to have some trade offs for such long range (no armor or SS tanks) and with little or no escort, just targets. This was late film prob during Okinawa campaign or Iwo
You can see the "Baka" bombs clear as day on some of those Betty's. I think those Hellcats must've missed one because one hit my grandfathers ship, USS Stanly DD-478, on April 13 1945 IIRC. It went in one end and out the other and did little damage but it's sort of a dubious distinction to be one of the few ships hit by the rocket kamikazes.
The pilots attacking those Mitsubishi bombers at the start of the clip possibly never realised how lucky they were. Some of the bombers were carrying the Ohka piloted Kamikaze bomb, with a one-ton warhead. Had they hit the warhead at that close range, the explosion would have knocked them out of the sky.
Japs kept their men in the sky until they were killed. Americans pulled them out after a time and used them to train the next crew on deck, thus laying the groundwork for a sustainable air war. Japs shot their load up front and had nothing in reserve.
The banks of the time were running the show, who ever has the most money and support WINS!! (mind you the bank **** was supporting the enemy at the start of the war and at the end they supported the allies.
What's the first thing you need to start a war? LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY!!! and who has the money? The banks! So which ever side has the most money wins basicly...
At the beginning of ww2 germany had a very large economic boom and the banks supplied numerous amounts of money to drive their warmachine... Towards the end of ww2 Germany borrowed too much and were heading into debt.... So therefore the banks decided to stop lending them money and ultimately destroy their once fantastic warmachine. You see the only people who make money during war are banks. Everyone else suffers...
I respect all soldier who die in war and i feel for their families. I don't call them heroes, I don't call what they did a sacrifice, I call it a waste... We can go on for ever talking about all the fantastic strategic war efforts we made and how our soldiers ran the enemy into the dirt but it's all just a cover up to hide the really truth...
And i hope that one day people come to their senses and realise that war is just another sick way to make money for somebody else... ty mate :) thx for letting me share with u ^^ srry for the jumble, word limit u know xP
There appeared to be at least four aircraft in this video carrying Bakas.....Ohkas to the Japanese. That makes sense, as color film would not have been used until very late in the war.
this is kick ass!!! Amazing! my Grandfather was in this war...he doesnt like to talk about it much but I still wana all i can just by wacthing these videos.
not really, the U.S didnt have alot of planes until the late 1940's. The Germans had alot of good aircraft, like there jets. The Messerschmitt 262, also the German the Me P.1101 design components were subsequently used by Bell as the basis for the Bell X-5, which was the first aircraft capable of varying its wing geometry while in flight, which we used in the korean war.
Until the Hellcat was introduced to the USN, the main fighter aircraft being used was the Wildcat, which, unfortunately was inferior to the Japanese Zero model at that time.
As the war progressed, things DID start to shift in US favour, but it's definately not like you say it was.
The RAF won the battle the Battle of Britain despite being outnumbered around 3/1 everytime they took to the air!
At the start of the war the Germans had the largest and strongest airforce in the world, so your comment doesnt add up i'm afraid! It was tactics and skill that won the day!
The RAF planes were not better to begin with AND we had less of them. That also applies for the pacific theatre the Japanese Zero was far superior to any allied plane in the begining of the war.
PS. The Germans had 30 minutes flying time over Britain. Thats plenty when you consider you could use all your ammunition in 15 seconds.
30 minutes isn't really that long, considering you need time to locate the enemy, time to intercept, time to do the dogfighting to get in a position to fire.
Remember that would be 30 minutes of flight time at cruise speeds. You'll throttle up in combat. So you'll be loitering over the battlefield, when the enemy gets there and you're in the dog fight, you might find you'll have to break off before you've achieved much.
mm.. I've read adolf galland's book where he writes about battle of britain. He thought that one reason for loosing was the short range of bf-109.. But that's just one side of the story..
And dont get me wrong. I respect very much britsh pilots
ONE reason perhaps. But remember the 109 wasnt even deployed the most despite being the most famous.
However the biggest reason for RAF victory was the Luftwaffe decision to stop attacking the airfields and start attacking the cities! The RAF was a week to two weeks away from collapse at that point. It gave the RAF time to recover and replenish
Had the Luftwaffe continued i'm certain an invasion would have happened and Britain would have lost the war.
They may not have lost if their was an invasion. There has been many studies done about it and they have done wargames where generals from both sides back then have taken part and actually the British won quite comfortably. Don't forget we still had the royal navy. It would just steam into the channel if there was an invasion ad cause chaos even if the Germans had air superiority.
The Luftwaffe had the better airforce actually, but they had stupid leaders. If Hitler just let them (the Lutfwaffe) do what they were doing, the RAF would've been annhilatted...but history and fate wasn't supposed to go that way.

Hey Mcfenny or mckelly
What are you a soviet sympathizer?
I never heard such STUPID statements except on the history channel. Looks like you get educated there. U boats refrained from sinking any u.s. war ship before the so called attack on Pearl.Roosevelt did everything possible to get into the war. the rich needed to replenish their money supplies. What better way than to get into the war, much like today in Iraq the money does not evaporate into the air the contractors are lining pockets
Check your history (and i dont meen the history channel) The US had been killing U Boats and US ships had been attacked long before Pearl by German uboats.
First of all, LEARN HOW TO WRITE, the MEN who flew those planes were real men, you should be ashamed for trying to take credit for something they did. They put their life on the line for our freedom! From the way you wrote you need to get an education, they put it on the line so you could be free and learn. They did their part , now you do yours.
Hiler stated that Italy cost him the war.That delay going into Russland saved those mongol bastards, nothing else.The world's largest mass murderer STALIN fled Moscow when he heard the SS was near, that coward.Bigger crime is being allied with them, look at the world today because of their criminal exploits.

Pilots would not set out to actually kill but rather cripple the machine, as ammunition is too scarce to waste on further injury once the aircraft is disabled.

@UFPAlexraptor RAF pilots were told to attack fighters hit them if they smoked leave and target either fighters. or main objective.......bombers...... fighters were escorts :) "over britain"..

At 2.51 does another US fighter come into the cams sights and the pilot behind continues to straff his friend?

Betty crews called it the "flying cig lighter" as it caught fire so easily, you had to have some trade offs for such long range (no armor or SS tanks) and with little or no escort, just targets. This was late film prob during Okinawa campaign or Iwo

Green painted ZERO is type 52 Otsu, a ground based fighter and final combat ready version of original.

You can see the "Baka" bombs clear as day on some of those Betty's. I think those Hellcats must've missed one because one hit my grandfathers ship, USS Stanly DD-478, on April 13 1945 IIRC. It went in one end and out the other and did little damage but it's sort of a dubious distinction to be one of the few ships hit by the rocket kamikazes.

The pilots attacking those Mitsubishi bombers at the start of the clip possibly never realised how lucky they were. Some of the bombers were carrying the Ohka piloted Kamikaze bomb, with a one-ton warhead. Had they hit the warhead at that close range, the explosion would have knocked them out of the sky.

Japs kept their men in the sky until they were killed. Americans pulled them out after a time and used them to train the next crew on deck, thus laying the groundwork for a sustainable air war. Japs shot their load up front and had nothing in reserve.

At the beginning of ww2 germany had a very large economic boom and the banks supplied numerous amounts of money to drive their warmachine... Towards the end of ww2 Germany borrowed too much and were heading into debt.... So therefore the banks decided to stop lending them money and ultimately destroy their once fantastic warmachine. You see the only people who make money during war are banks. Everyone else suffers...

pyllywaltteri 3 years ago
not really, the U.S didnt have alot of planes until the late 1940's. The Germans had alot of good aircraft, like there jets. The Messerschmitt 262, also the German the Me P.1101 design components were subsequently used by Bell as the basis for the Bell X-5, which was the first aircraft capable of varying its wing geometry while in flight, which we used in the korean war.
Kubelwagen 3 years ago
Until the Hellcat was introduced to the USN, the main fighter aircraft being used was the Wildcat, which, unfortunately was inferior to the Japanese Zero model at that time.
As the war progressed, things DID start to shift in US favour, but it's definately not like you say it was.
cobra8472 3 years ago
the 262 came a littel too late and i dont know if you know this must of them were crashed at landing killing the poilts so its not a good aircraft

The RAF won the battle the Battle of Britain despite being outnumbered around 3/1 everytime they took to the air!
At the start of the war the Germans had the largest and strongest airforce in the world, so your comment doesnt add up i'm afraid! It was tactics and skill that won the day!
thistlewarrior 3 years ago
Allied planes were better and in battle of britain germans planes had such a short range that they could fight only few minutes
pyllywaltteri 3 years ago
The RAF planes were not better to begin with AND we had less of them. That also applies for the pacific theatre the Japanese Zero was far superior to any allied plane in the begining of the war.
PS. The Germans had 30 minutes flying time over Britain. Thats plenty when you consider you could use all your ammunition in 15 seconds.
thistlewarrior 3 years ago
30 minutes isn't really that long, considering you need time to locate the enemy, time to intercept, time to do the dogfighting to get in a position to fire.
mornnb 3 years ago
They didnt need to locate the enemy as such. They were at the time attacking the airfields the RAF came to intercept them not the other way about.
thistlewarrior 3 years ago
Remember that would be 30 minutes of flight time at cruise speeds. You'll throttle up in combat. So you'll be loitering over the battlefield, when the enemy gets there and you're in the dog fight, you might find you'll have to break off before you've achieved much.
mornnb 3 years ago
mm.. I've read adolf galland's book where he writes about battle of britain. He thought that one reason for loosing was the short range of bf-109.. But that's just one side of the story..
And dont get me wrong. I respect very much britsh pilots
pyllywaltteri 3 years ago
ONE reason perhaps. But remember the 109 wasnt even deployed the most despite being the most famous.
However the biggest reason for RAF victory was the Luftwaffe decision to stop attacking the airfields and start attacking the cities! The RAF was a week to two weeks away from collapse at that point. It gave the RAF time to recover and replenish
Had the Luftwaffe continued i'm certain an invasion would have happened and Britain would have lost the war.
thistlewarrior 3 years ago
They may not have lost if their was an invasion. There has been many studies done about it and they have done wargames where generals from both sides back then have taken part and actually the British won quite comfortably. Don't forget we still had the royal navy. It would just steam into the channel if there was an invasion ad cause chaos even if the Germans had air superiority.
davetonia1233 3 years ago
The Luftwaffe had the better airforce actually, but they had stupid leaders. If Hitler just let them (the Lutfwaffe) do what they were doing, the RAF would've been annhilatted...but history and fate wasn't supposed to go that way.

Hey Mcfenny or mckelly
What are you a soviet sympathizer?
I never heard such STUPID statements except on the history channel. Looks like you get educated there. U boats refrained from sinking any u.s. war ship before the so called attack on Pearl.Roosevelt did everything possible to get into the war. the rich needed to replenish their money supplies. What better way than to get into the war, much like today in Iraq the money does not evaporate into the air the contractors are lining pockets

Check your history (and i dont meen the history channel) The US had been killing U Boats and US ships had been attacked long before Pearl by German uboats.

First of all, LEARN HOW TO WRITE, the MEN who flew those planes were real men, you should be ashamed for trying to take credit for something they did. They put their life on the line for our freedom! From the way you wrote you need to get an education, they put it on the line so you could be free and learn. They did their part , now you do yours.
