Ship Against Plane

[MysticalGrooveWTC]

propaganda bullshits

[madxico]

Bomberguy you´re my favourite history class teacher ever!

[jamessavik]

once radar directed gunfire was deployed across the fleet, it was all over but the crying.

even suicide planes had difficulty getting through

[binaway]

@jamessavik radar guided gunfire and with proximity fused shells.

[jamessavik]

@binaway right

[dividednation44]

2:44 dive bombers attacking.

2:50 japanese pilot with real gutts insults amerikan AA guns by flying maneuvers close to it.

3:50 dive bomb penetrates through the side of the deck and appearently piereces something below and burns it.

4:23 dive bomb penetrates through the entire deck and haul, must be flaming seriously down there.

5:09 an f6f? slided all the way to the right, looks like because the carrier is doing lots of maneuvers.

propaganda footage, lots of whats said in it is bullshit.

[ARCHIBALDHAX]

the way he talks makes me think that whats he's talking about is important.

[martynpank]

....& all B4 the Kamikazes!!!

[MrBEB123]

One of the great mistakes the Axis powers made was not fielding aircraft carriers. The Allies made an even bigger mistake in fighting against the White race.

[tierfuehrer2]

I once saw a video on youtube, where a corsair pilot landed its plane out of a left turn directly onto the carrier. Man, that was so skilled. It was in one video with alot of scenes about the pacific war at sea.

I really would see that landing again. Can someone maybe help? Does anyone know the clip or the name of it onYT? Because a single scene seemes so hard to find.

Thank you very much

[decimated550]

@tierfuehrer2 - i've seen it too,. The corsair has a long snout, to house that long powerful engine. Now a plane's tail sinks as it slows down for a landing. With the corsair, that meant a straight in approach meant the pilot all but lost sight of the deck as he neared in. That led to many accidents. I remember that the brits invented the curving left turn landing, which means the carrier deck was in full view for nearly the entire final approach, by the pilot simply looking left.

[aziqbal]

everyone thinks ameircans are pussys fighting weak countrys, well hell they took the crack japanese fighters head on

[Gdaus72]

I know this battle.. its the battle of the eastern solomons during the guadalcanal campaign

[mahukalamata]

the manuverability of those ships is crazy

[gfreed100]

What makes an areal bomb so effective is all the expanding gases. My ship had blow out plates designed to blow out to re-leave the gases produced by an explosion. Armored decks mean you need armored bombs to penetrate them. Armor penetrating bombs were much smaller explosive wise. The problem is that armored decks acted like a cap containing the explosion causing way more damage. Wood decks could be repaired at sea where armored decks could not.

[nimrob]

4:10 fuck!!!!!

[Leandros05]

Great upload my friend

thanx!!!

[GN522Chinami]

look at the dude at 4:05

he was running and then its like "OM!!! Fall back!!"

[killercrabman]

what a vid..the voiceover guy is having a swell time...scary shit....another world.

[Gbrltr]

Americans should have copied the British: armoured flight decks.

[jers59]

Why? armored flight decks were failure, The Brits realized this and decided to build american style Essex class carrier called Malta Class The end  of war cancelled that program

[001kb]

Armor decks hurt more then help. Armored deck add weight which slows you down and reduces the air complement drastically(110 to 60) as well as slows you down and only protects the deck, it does no good for torpedoes. As Brown wrote More fighters would have been better protection than armour. Armor does not help other ships in you fleet and give you a stronger attack force. The way I see it With armor bombs hurt you less yet with a stronger CAP you might not get bombed at all. take it light

[wanabeepilot]

was she scrapped or turned into a museum.

[TheNeverSeeingEye]

Decommissioned on 17 February 1947

Sold on 4 July 1958 to the Lipsett Corporation .Broken down for scrap

[emel60]

i don't get the 2 :31

[panhardrod]

"An empire won by treachery"the narrator says,presumably in contrast to the more usual and accepted methods of oppresion or brutality.

[orcstr8d]

In case anyone forgot, it was the USS Hornet (CV-8) that the Doolittle Raiders launched from. The Enterprise was providing cover and scout planes for the task force.

[kf6796]

Why is buy war bonds title?

[tyrbolo]

That's why the recruiting poster reads

Navy not just a job

its an adventure !!!

[babbchuck]

Wow. If there are any vets reading this, esp. WWII vets (not many left now) - thanks!

[damaged01]

4:09 poor bastards. Hats off to them.

[matapan50]

I agree.

[nwannal]

Thanks Bomberguy... for all these posted vids. I've never seen this selection before and I try to see them all. I learn alot from them and try not to go off on a "Bitch session" (refighting a war from 63 years ago). Thanks again, keep it up, there's bound to be more out there!

[agentolshki]

that geezer at 408 prob died in that explosion.

[cobrachoppergirl]

LOL... calling the Japanese an empire won by tretchery.... I seem to recall a huge number of Indian tribes being swindled out of huge tracts of land with beads and alcohol and pestilence and all sorts of double dealing by the early white settlers and the US government... to found the United States empire, and the global hedgemony its become today.

[David308]

No government has clean hands. The indians tortured and mutilated the wounded as a matter of common practice, and the army in turn killed women and children. No love was lost on either side.

[GeofTheCanuck]

You're fighting the wrong war, you moron.

[dokaw]

Give it a break. It's old 1940's propaganda rhetoric, you can't expect them to hold up to today's political correctness.

[zilbiol]

@dokaw I'd describe today's political correctness as rhetoric and 1940s propoganda as talking straight.

[wadehall123]

wow! this will be US and China one day

[DimitrisKs]

awesome, love it

[r1wantone]

Top footage, it doesn't get any more real than this

[CaptainAhorn]

Wow, at 5:06, look how fast that carrier is turning. I wonder if it's an Essex fleet carrier or an Independance light carrier?

[DuttyDoogz]

4:12 was it a bomb or kamikazi?

[artwleb]

Lexington and Saratoga were sister ships. Ranger was one of a kind as was Wasp. All CV up to CV-8 were prewar. A real shame Enterprise was scrapped. Today's Essex class museum

ship are a different look from their WWII configuration.

[mpower6428]

jeeeeesh... you wont see footage like that anymore.

i heard the camera man was killed by that second bomb.

[jak68]

wow, good stuff.

[A20havoc]

Bomberguy...you are the best! Enterprise was my hero aircraft carrier that been in the war from the begining to the end. When I found out about her destructions under the melting touch I was so upset. Even school chidren raised some money to try to save her but it did not happen. I truely believe the Japanese surrender should of been on Enterprise flight deck. She was truely America's Hero...fighting's Lady spirits lives within me. Keep em coming bomberguy!

[timberwolf7102james]

Bomberguy i play fighter ace as seen on here. are C.O. in game is named LTD_Stanford tuck in honor of him thats for that post we like to fly Tempest MK 5 I myself have sat in the Lancaster X only 1 of 2 still flying want to thank u for keeping us war buffs smiling

[Highsky95]

the Enterprise was an Essex class carrier, it was built druing the war and only survived because it was built and commisioned well after major carrier battles, by then the war was swinging to the Allies favour. the Ranger was a one of ship of no class

[Bomberguy]

The Enterprise was Yorktown class launched in 1936, read the sidebar!!!

[saucysbitch]

the USS Enterprise CV-6 was one of only three American surface vessels built pre-war, that survived through the war. I would call that before the major carrier battles.

[patriot91101rip]

the ranger had two sister ships the Saratoga and the Lexington

[snakestomper]

Ranger is a one off to use up extra tonnage,Lex and the Sara were bult on half finished Battlecruser hulls,she was the first U.S. carrier bulit keel up as a carrier,not a conversion like Langley,Lexington,and Saratoga

[snakestomper]

No, Enterpise, was a Yorktown class(my Uncle served on Yorktown up intell she was lost at Midway)and after november of 1942 she held her own after Lexington,Yorktown,Hornet and Wasp were sunk and Saratoga was getting repaired on the west coast after finding a sub the hard way for the second time,Ranger was in the med supporting the landings in North Africa,so she was kinda busy and Langey was coverted to a seaplane tender but sunk at the begenning of the war off java

[denberg2]

Keep 'em coming, Bomberguy!

[b1heqh54]

Dang, that's a sweet looking P-40 in New Zealand colours!
