Warplanes of WWII - a complete overview

[jacobwolf124]

USA's Aircraft are the best. 

[MsColorfreak]

very nice vid!!!

[jjcguitar]

great music



[loudness96]

cool songs and amazing color plates!

[EinundzwanzigPanzer]

No grumman duck :-/

[MegaChristaras]

WHATS THE SONG AT THE BEGGINGIN?

[BaronKrolok]

@MegaChristaras Andrew Sisters: "Bei mir bist Du schön"

[emmeevalerie]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!11!!

[NVanWendy]

In amongst all the favorites and all-stars are a lot of WEIRD looking planes. I'd love to know what some of the oddball planes were.

[DesertFoxKG]

Crazy list!

[ww2footage]

Interesting .. but what about Ta-152, IL-10,Po-2

[welbhloud]

I would like to have sexual intercourse with mosquito and catalina

[antred11]

No P-38!!! This is heresy!!!

[BaronKrolok]

@antred11 IF you have watched until 1:02, you MIGHT have discovered it...

[antred11]

@BaronKrolok Oh .. sorry then. ;)

[merdaporrenta]

It's from a book.

[MrBEB123]

I gave this a thumbs up but I will say Adolf Hitler thought this type of music was degenerate and shallow. In the years since WW II Hitlers predictions as outlined in his writings are coming true but despite this Whites keep marching on the same road that obviously is leading to our destruction. For those Whites who still have their head screwed on right come join the National Alliance. You can view their web site just type in National Alliance.

[Kdssow]

Fokker, Hell YA!!!!!

Germany failed to lay our arforce numb during the war over Holland.

Don't underestimate wooden planes jerries!

BTW, you're missing the Fokker T.V in the medium bomber section!

[Kdssow]

Fokker, Hell YA!!!!!

Don't underestimate wooden planes jerries!

[MilitaryAircraft101]

watch my videos, the ww2 fighters, it has em ALL!!

[toonmag50]

We Europeans are so clever -we bankrupted our own  continent and then look back with nostalgia to death machines

[verkkopeli]

@toonmag50 Nice comment! However I think most of the people interested in the subject recognise the grim side of things and admire the planes themselves, not the killing involved in their use. I for one appreciate the often brilliant technical solutions that the designers came out with under very difficult circumstances, the beautiful shapes, and yes, even the paint jobs.

[TaviYamato]

I LIKE THE ONE at SECOND 51 ON THE LEFT THE SECOND DOWN < WITH YELLOW < ITS A ROMANIAN AIRCRAFT AND I REALLY LIKE IT A LOT

[qwertylockley]

Brilliant.

[Latvietis96]

The Lancaster is So awesome

[talkonfox]

i hate war, so i don't like war planes, BUT i like the different planes shape and pattern design very much; thanks for your sharing, Baron !

[ChadJHachey]

god i miss the book all these pictures came from! whats its name again i cant remember :s

[BaronKrolok]

@ChadJHachey It would be too easy if the pics came from one book.;.))... I had to search and use about 20 different books ...

[ChadJHachey]

@BaronKrolok im almost positve their is one with all of thos pics here, i am almost certin, i might even still own it

[verkkopeli]

@ChadJHachey @ChadJHachey Yes there is an older encyclopedia on WW2, probably published in the 1970s, that consists of several books that have similar illustrations on just about every machine that did service in the war. One book is dedicated to airplanes, and has exactly the kind of pictures seen here, many of which I tried to copy with pencil and crayons when I was a small boy :) Unfortunately nearly three decades have passed since I last read those books, and I cannot remember the title.

[DressedWings]

@BaronKrolok there is a book with all of these it is called aircraft of WW2

[CJLinton]

That Liberator paintscheme is amazing... do you have any details about what squadron etc it belonged to???

[BaronKrolok]

@CJLinton Yes, i have..:-))) It is a B-24-J-190 of the 43rd Bomb Group, attaking japanes homeland in the spring of 1945

[CJLinton]

@BaronKrolok Cheers:)

[LordKatzeify]

Feed it man... feed it xD

[Heruure]

[33049156]

[RodinaZovet]

[tenorismo]

Nice choice of Music. The great Ziggy Elman on trumpet .

[kolbpilot]

One needs a sharp eye (& the pause button) to identify alot of these, but any enthusiast should do well.

[cornel10]

Drinking rom and coca-cola, ha-ha-ha, the music blows me up.I think is the american music from world war two.

[GibsonLee606]

isnt this picture of planes from the aviation factfile

[grasess]

where is russans rocketplane BI-1 built and fly 1942.

[IIJG27Rich]

Didn't see a German Do-24 sea plane.

[Piwko2pac]

szwabska kurwa zawsze szwabem pozostanie, szkoda że większość polskich samolotów przedstawiono w innych barwach narodowych, rycerska luftwaffe walczyła pewnie z samymi szybowcami(good german its death german)

[PaladinusPL]

U forgot polish reconnaisance planes Lublin R-XII and RWD-14 Czapla.

[Cuccos19]

Thank you! I thought it must be rare at those times, too. I'm not really familiar with French and Italian aircrafts of WWII, I mostly know the main types, or what saw some action.

[Cuccos19]

Which is that French carrier based plane (torpedo/divebomber) what is on the same sheet with the Fairey Swordfish, Fairey Albacore, Fairey Barracuda and Fieseler Fi 167. I only cannot recognise that, all of the others are familiar. Thanks!

[BaronKrolok]

It is the Loire-Nieuport LN 401... rather few were bulit

[aboogie123456]

The german gigant at 3:36 had 8 gun ports and could carry 3 tanks

[vd172hb]

Fokker D-21 at 0:51 and Fokker G1 at 1:02 RULE

Fokker D-21 armament: 4x7.9 MG

Fokker G1 armament: 9x 7.9 MG

(thats what i call firepower)

[MRnissetomte]

sorry to say but the J21A were started to be delivered in dec 1945 and got int to active service in jan 1946, wasent int active service during the war

[sirben2]

0:51 The J-21 XD

[chaplainadare1996]

at 1:57, whats the plane with the swiss markings?

[BaronKrolok]

thats the EKW 3600, one of the very few swiss-designed and build planes

[sinthetix1]

did you take these pictures from the book "Aircraft of the World War II by Chris Chant? :))))

[BaronKrolok]

actually not... the pictures are from about 20 different books I own.. no single book shows you all aircraft

[sinthetix1]

hehe, nice, well done !

[EDquetrabalhamuito]

What's the 2:14 first bomber?

[BaronKrolok]

a french Bloch MB 200

[commando8015]

the fighters and bombers from the americans and de britsch are the best!

[pe634]

My fav is The Stuka and the Ju-52

[Jojojabo]

Auch seltene Flugzeuge sind dabei, dass ist gut.

[DLYviu]

the romanian iar 80 is one of the sexiest fighters there are, my personal favorite, and the Stuka dive biomber too.

[CairSilverwolf]

if I remember correctly, the Iar 80 was made on base of polish figther P-24,

[Virlando2]

That's right.

[GShepardP]

Reggiane RE 2005

[deseryve]

the me 262 was a "zerstörer"? it was a fighter or thanks to "GröFAZ" a light bomber...isnt it?

its a great list and i know nearly all of them...but are you sure that the pic of the Yak 9 is really a yak 9? i think its a yak 3 because it was the only one without "lufteinlass" (sorry dont know the english word) under the nose...

great work and i am still waiting for the other names ;)

[BaronKrolok]

mit mir kannst du gerne deutsch sprechen..^^: Die Me 262 war ja schwer bewaffnet mit 4*30mm MK und passt deswegen in die Kategorie schwerer Jäger.. aber für fast alle Flugzeuge gilt natürlich, dass sie in mehrere Kategorien passen würden.. Was die Yak-3 betrifft, da könntest Du Recht haben: Yak 1, 7 und 9 hatten alle einen kleinen Lufteinlass (air intake) unter der Nase, nur die -3 nicht. Da habe ich einen Fehler aus einem Buch übernommen.

[Codaroale]

bombardieri pesanti. manca il Piaggio P108, unico quadrimotore della Regia Areonautica Italiana, ne avevamo pochi ma c'erano.

[aysideisi]

the wellesley its so ugly. 2:40

[Crawlerz246]

since I'm Russian - I gotta tell it like it is - Russian planes are the best! look at that Il-2 that's pure sex man!

[LMAMarco]

I agree with U, but if it would come down to sex ;-) i`d prefer your MiG-3 which is by far the sexiest fighter plane of WW2!

[tenka45623]

what plane was that under the catalina

:D

[tenka45623]

at 1:34 what plane was that on top of the dauntless!~!

[BaronKrolok]

below the Catalina is the Martin PBM Mars, and above the Dauntless is left the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, above right the Vought SB2U Vindicator.

[tenka45623]

thanks for ansering

[silverfox441]

actualy, that's a PBM5A Martin Mariner wich is a twin engine twin boom a/c. The Martin mars had 4 engines a a single tail plane and althought it first flew in 41, it never served during ww2.

[BaronKrolok]

How was it possible for me to make such a mistake?... You are right,thats a PBM Mariner, twin engine and twin fins (but not twin boom^^). The Mars is a different aircraft and only the prototype (of six build) served as a transport during WW2.

[silverfox441]

oups! i meant twin fins, ha!

but hey don't worry about that, i've made plenty of mistakes identifying a/c. it's the passion for aviation that counts!

[luis19812207]

very nice

amzing

[bucurdragos]

Awesome job!

[mroblongo]

Error in 1:19... The Finnish version of the F2A-2 was not a carrier borne aircraft. :D

[BaronKrolok]

I wouldn't cry "error!!".. of course the fins didn't own a carrier, but the F2A was designed as a carrier plane, perhaps you might agree on that^^

[sebaah1989]

muy bueno!...excelente!

I`m waiting for "Jet-Thunder" the flight simulator of Malvinas! 1982

[tili7104]

excellent !

[peepeevagi]

What was your source of pictures?

If they're out of a book, i must have it!

[BaronKrolok]

I scanned them from more than one book.... I searched about 20-30 books I own, and put the pictures togehter, and it was a lot of work.. sry I cannot name a single book!

[adamlslda]

Hahaha Me 323 looks so funny- i can't imagine how this machine can even fly.

[leokimvideo]

Fantastic, the golden age of aviation, such class in the war machines of WW2

[tool619]

i love german and japanese planes. they possess such elegance and everything...

[Ahrimancp]

Nice effort.

[BVargas78]

kick ass planes. If anyone wants to get a bit of a feel of flying many of these planes i highly recommend IL2 Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters flight simulator. Its great!

[cornel10]

by the way, were is romanian I.A.R.??

[BaronKrolok]

Have a look at 0.50.. there is the IAR 80!

[1971Copperhead1968]

Good job! Beautiful planes.

[JackiJackal]

I 'spose you could pick that to peices. But why would I?

that's a great collection and I all my favourites were there. And that's what counts.

nice job.

[LiLRuss31]

ohhh lol and one other thing the Russian plane u catagorized as transport is a heavy bomber

[BaronKrolok]

You are talking of the TB-3, I guess: You are right, but at the time of WW2 it was obsolete as a bomber, and used as a transport ;-))

And yes I know its not really complete (Pe-8 is missing, but MiG was in)

[LiLRuss31]

hey man check my vids no where near as good or as many plane or as detailed lol but i got one under warplanes of ww2, ww1 and modern ;)

[LiLRuss31]

awesome vid except u need more Russian planes more laggs and migs and maybe a pe-8 but still great 5/5

[EvilKorbinDallas]

Baron, in Germany it's against the law to have the swastika on anything, but are you allowed on model planes?

[BaronKrolok]

You are right, this law includes models. On some very old models I have some, but nowadays the swastika is not included and has to be cut off the sheets by the trader (even the finnish roundels of that time)

[JagV12]

And great songs. I love The Andrews Sisters!!!

[Virlando2]

Nice video :)

[shalvydor]

This is not a coplete overview of WWII aircraft and some of these planes are in wrong category.

[strarscreamtheking]

great!!

[granskare]

I think those were Japanese or Taiwanese copies :)- educational bit to kurt!

nice video baron :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I never knew you were a fan of Genesis ;P

[SmiertSpionem]

If you included prototypes you might have Ca-15, P-61, I-185, Miles M-20 etc. Oh and Ho-229?

[KurtGnu]

..and an ostrich in a pear treeeee! :)

[SmiertSpionem]

Shouldnt' tit be a fieseler stork?

[KurtGnu]

No, they nest in apple trees.. By the way, have you ever seen my Swedish S 14 Storch?? The Swedes flew the Storch 'til 1961.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

Never Gnu that! I believe france made Storch under licence as MS Criquet?

[KurtGnu]

Yes, they did.. and I believe one of the Academy kits (if not both) offers the French version too! The engine is conciderably different!! I may build it one day, but then again, I already have 1 German and 1 Swedish Storch built.. and I guess that'll have to do!! (Did I just write that?? I can't be well..??)

[SmiertSpionem]

I also believe the UK had an equivalent called the Auster ;) but enough of this fooli-S-tork.

[KurtGnu]

..and there was I thinking that the Lysander was the British equivalent! I saw that Revell has issued a 1/72 Lysander too, I came across one in Clacton last week.. but (and this will shock you) I DID NOT BUY IT!! Mainly becasue I have the Airfix kit.. still waiting to be built as an aircraft from the 'Türk Hava Kuvvetleri'! I've got the RAF spy-dropper version, nicely painted in the wrong colours.. sigh! It's staying that way though, it's not badly done otherwise.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I never realise the Turks Hav Cutleri, I thought they used chop sticks...

[KurtGnu]

You've seen de'light!! :P

[SmiertSpionem]

You are completely Ara-right ;)

[KurtGnu]

I have to con'Fez I didn't get that joke.. :) Unless you meant the mountain? In which case I still wouldn't Noah.. :D

[SmiertSpionem]

I never knew you were a fan of Genesis ;P

[KurtGnu]

Ha ha ha ha.. I'll let you have the last.. I thought I had the killer reply, but can't compete against you!! A stamp is on it's way.. as will the cd-rom with photos etc.. sorry you've had to wait!! :)

[SmiertSpionem]

Oh t.Hanks very much! I'm really blitzing my PZL 11c right now after buying the right humbrol (156) ;)

[KurtGnu]

I should be blitzing away on my Mustang too, but I hope to get some done tonight! Had planned to cycle up to Boxted to film the new and extended memorial up there by the airfield, but it took longer than I had anticipated to fix my bike.. I will get up there in the week though, I need the footage for fortcoming model videos, incl. the Mustang video.. Sdly I lost all my previous footage earlier, but even so I needed an update.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

.  :(

[KurtGnu]

Well, these things happen.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

Arsenal VG-33? Seversky P-35? La-5? Yak-7? Douglas Devastator? Siebel-204? Ta-152? Dora9?

Otherwise that is a Complete list!!! Sehr gut ;)

[BaronKrolok]

The same moment I called the vid "complete" I knew that some purist will come across and will complain!!;-))

There are even more, most american, aircarft missing: Martin Baltimore, Vought Kingfisher, Republic Lancer, and others: Piaggio 108, VL Myrsky... The Dora-9 is only a variant of the Fw 190 und therefore not included. But I did include some rare ones, mainly Luftwffe, did you know them?

btw.: glad to hear (read) from you, it was quite quiet on the Dave front!

[KurtGnu]

We're just having a friendly discussion, clocking up some comments on your video.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I'm glad you know your planes! What is that fighter below the Heinkel 112?

[KurtGnu]

You're joking, right?? :)

[SmiertSpionem]

Gno really, there are two prop fighters abive the 163, one is a heinkel 112 but the other I'm not sure about - it looks bigger.

[KurtGnu]

It looks like a Heinkel He 100 to me... :) But I'm sure you wrote what was BELOW the He 112?! :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I mean 100 ;)

It just looks the same but bigger?!

[BaronKrolok]

^^I give you a hint: It was the first fighter in service that rock(ed/t)!

[SmiertSpionem]

No I mean there are two propeller fighters above the Me163 - what type is the lower one?

[KurtGnu]

The one immediately above the ME 163 is a Heinkel 112, and the one above the He 112 is a Heinkel He 100.. :)

[SmiertSpionem]

I never knew what a 112 was until now, I thought it was the same as 100 :(

It seems an earlier and equally unsssuccesfulbid by heinkel for single engine fighter of the luftwaffe (losing to Mr Me109)

[BaronKrolok]

The He 112 was competing with the Me 109, but lost (especially because it took more man-hours to built). A small batch(68)was produced, served with the pre-war Luftwaffe, but were exported (Romania, Hungary and Japan).

The He 100 was built later as a private venture, a specially modified gained a new speed world record (lost to Messerschmitt). A small batch (25) was built and served for propaganda puposes (in this case called He 113), as factory defence, and exported (Japan and noteworthy- USSR)

[SmiertSpionem]

Ah thankyou. I have never before heard of this '112' only the 100 ;) They say the He100 was a very fast fighter compared to Me109 and almost better really :)

[BaronKrolok]

I hope I did not bore you... Your focus is on pilots, Kurts on airfields (to be exact, only one), and mine aircarft history, especially the germans..^^

[KurtGnu]

Correction.. I like any airfileld, but Boxted is conveniently close! Wormingford is some 7 miles away, which would be some 11 kilometres to you, I believe.. I will cycle there again one day, but like I said.. Boxted is closer! As for the third airfield in the area (Birch) there's next to nothing left, and it was only used once.. for operation Varsity, the largest airborne operation in history! (According to Wikipedia) I had planned to visit severall local airfields this summer..

[KurtGnu]

..but it doesn't seem as if I will have the time or the opportunity.. :P

[KurtGnu]

What, the Germans made aircraft?? Well, I never... ;D

[SmiertSpionem]

Ah no, it is good! I enjoy all the many elements of airplane history ;)

[samfisha]

Erm.. I was lost after the Corsair.

[KurtGnu]

Ha.. I was going to complain and say: What about the Saab J21 and FFVS J22! Well, at least there was a J21.. :) But no Saab B17?? Tut tut.. I hope to build the Liberator 'The Dragon and its Tail', as seen on 3:12 - 3:15, I have the kit in 1/72.. I have also seen the only remaining Blohm & Voss Bv 138 in the world, I'll make a response video to this.. if I can! :)
