The narrator means Shusui at 0:31, not Sushi. "Shu" of Shusui means autum and "sui" of Shusui means water. So Shusui means pure water of autum. Japan often names weapons poetic words.
@Achalel That was the propaganda from Japan. The people of SE Asia were glad to be rid of the colonial Europeans after the war but were happy to be liberated from the Japanese army who brutalized and murdered all the people who came under it's control. The SE Asians have still not forgiven the Japanese for what it's army did. And don't mention what the Chinese and Koreans, who were not subject to European colonists, think of the Japanese army occupation of their countries.
Japan was planning on using their germ warfare used extensively in China against the US West Coast. The idea was to have germ bombs dropped from small sub launched aircraft. Ditto for balloon borne bombs which they used with incendiary bombs.
@Great8Earthquake Nearly half a million Italians including civilians were killed during WW2. Thats more than USA and UK lost. And Italy has a smaller population.
@Great8Earthquake The Japanese Empire was already showing cracks before it declared war on the USA. The tide was turning against them in there war against China, after initial succsess in there invasion the Chinese were becoming more organized and equipped and defeated them in several battles from 1937 and 1941.
@Achalel Yes. It would gave the success in Japans original war plane to stole east countries resources and exploit slave work . Like all japs forever think about Mandchuria...Oh cultural evil geniuses of a poor soil land !...What the future deserve for mankind in this small planet ?...

this is so fucking retarded what if this or what if that. blh blah it simply didnt happen. because it wasnt possible. Now, who want a atom bomb dropped on them, JAPAN it was possible and it happened. see that was easy wasnt it.
japan was the most under estimated nation at the time because thats how white people always look at us asians......yet they forgot that we asians invented almost everything.............dont believe me? type in (things europe never invented)......and so many other videos of our asian inventions
That's true, but not all of the white people under estimated asians. I'm with the Japanese , and it's true that the americans allways act like jerks. they are like ' Look an asian, an small dicked', they are pure racist people, americans don't deserve to be on this planet. Im waiting for the day that USA attacks North Korean and Kim Jong il bombs the whole USA and ends its race.
@omfgitsyou1 hmmm ... i believe the Japanese Zero was the premiere aircraft in the Pacific Theatre until the introduction of the American Hellcat which i also believe incorporated elements of a captured/downed Japanese Zero the Americans discovered during the course of the war ...

Historic Aviation has a new book they're selling called Japanese Secret Projects (sub-titled Experimental Aircraft of the IJA and IJN 1939-1945)! It examines the history and potential of 34 experimental aircraft developed by Japan during WWll!
I put out an order for the book, but they don't yet have them in stock and it may be another couple of weeks until they do!
The Kikka was entirely Japanese, not a 262 copy as none of the 262 details ever made it to Japan. The Shinden, which I've crawled over at Silver Hill, was functionally challenged. The canard design, tho it flew, was unsuited in that age for military aircraft, as was demonstrated by the XP-55 (note the lack of immediate post-war development along those lines). As for the jet version . . .well . . . two engines were usually used back then because one engine just wasn't powerful enough . . ..
Hi jinshiksung. I still do not get it. Do you mean, japanese developed the airplane technology somewhere in occupied Korea and brought it to Japan? Looks interesting, please explain.
Not exactly sure what your point is, but I do believe that the only possible way that the war could have ended differently is if Japan would have invaded Manchuria on December 7 instead of attacking Pearl Harbor. Or maybe even attacked Pearl and then Manchuria. Soviets needed to lose for Japan and Germany to have won.
- True ...and there's no doubt that Hitler had hoped that the Japs would've helped him in his war against Russia now that he declared war on the US too in dec 1941
These are german designs passesd to their Japanese allies. Understandable I suppose but it needs to be remembered that the Japanese had some first class aircrfat designers.
It seems there was plans and testing for non-conventional airplanes. If they ever build a saucer prototype, it remains a mistery...there was some flying wing, similar to the B2 Spirit, that was stored by the US Airforce. There is an urban legend in which the Northrop designers actually gave a look to the german wing, built 50 years before!!
Japan also made up plans to modify the shindon J7w2 jet with shorter landing gear, smaller stablelizers, and a teardrop canopy! It's was to be named the shindon J7w3!
"...no experience polites left to fly the planes."
The Japanese could of got some of thier more experience army airforce polites over from mainland Asia, where they were fighting, to fly the new jet aircraft. Never the less, they still would have loss the war. Even if the U.S.didn't use the A-bomb, the Japanese would still have to fight Britain and Russia as well as the U.S. But the war would have still lasted longer, I think.
I use to watch the History Channel alot when I had cable. But over the past few years, say since 2005 or 06, the History Channel has become like another Discovery Channel with mind numb reality shows, and shows about all kinds of psuedo science! I wish History would go back to showing shows like this (about recorded history) and stick with their niche market like they did the first 10 years of the channel!
@4200jadale You might find what you're looking for on the Military Channel. Occasionally they talk about subjects like this. Unfortunately it's few and far between at times.
@4200jadale Agreed. Unfortunately, the programming had to be altered in order to keep the continously dumbing down audience interested in a way that they could keep up. These are trying days for those with triple digit IQ's.
It doesn't matter what the Japs may have come up with in 1945. There were no experienced pilots left to fly the planes. Piston engined aircraft did shoot down ME 262's. There was even a case in Vietnam where a pair of Skyraiders shot down a Mig. Also, early US jet fighters were very slow until the introduction of the F86 Sabre. And even it was mediocre until it got its big upgrade.
Look at this Henschel Hs P.75 prototype flown in 1942 and had a top speed of 491 mph!! What am trying to say is that if that aircaft didnt existed Shinden wouldnt be in this video!! A big problem with the Nazis is that they just cant deside which aircraft to put into production!!
This was part of the 2 hour History Channel Program "The Last Secrets of the Axis". It came out in 2001 when the History Channel was still making documentaries about recorded events. Today they only do reality shows, U.F.O. and cripto shows, global warming shows and the like!
IIRC, two P-80s were in Allied-occupied Italy upon the German surrender.
I don' t think there was a need to use the P-80 against the Japanese, as they were badly weakened and victory for the U.S. in the Pacific was imminent.
It would have been interesting if the Japanese could have developed these jets in time to use them as Kamikazes. One can only imagine what kind of havoc that would have resulted for the American Navy.
It wouldn't have mattered. By the time the Japs really got the "Divine Wind" blowing, they didn't have enough well trained pilots to fly them effectively. Remember the Baka was far faster but again without good pilots most missed. The Japs did alot of damage with the kamikaze but it also broke their back.
Eye4Lites, I respectfully disagree. The Baka bombs were not successful because most of the Betty bombers carrying them were getting shot down before they got in the range to release the Baka bombs. Once the Baka bombs were released, pilot skills would not have really mattered as long as they can fly a straight line into the target vessel.
No need to disagree. You are correct i the fact that the Bettys were shot before release range. Ineffective fighter screens by inexperienced pilots. Of the 57 actual combat releases only six hits were scored. Two were recorded shot down by AA, one by fighter, equals 54 pilots that missed. Many reports of Bakas being released and rocketing away from fighters only to water not steel. I can only suppose this is from inexperienced pilots.
i think if the russians and the americans werent rushing into burlin and droped the atomic bombs and gave the axis more time the allied would probally lost the war.
It's funny to see that "Spacecruiser Yamato" comics emblem on the jet Shinden.
Most of the stuff were already shown in action a decade earlier when I did the Luftwaffe 1946, WWII 1946 and Kamikaze 1946 comicbook series but it's good to see them in CGI. The Kikka (actually pronounced Kitsuka) was designed as a suicide place (hense the name) so they didn't need to carry the bomb below the fuselage, they were to be packed on the nose, like the Ohka. Extra bomb would've been too heavy for take-off.
Its widely agreed that if the shinden had enter service, a year before the war ended. War would have lasted another 3-5 years. US daylight bombing of japan would have ended and would not have risk senting a nuke into air space still controlled by the japanese in fear of it being shoot down and being reversed engineered.
? The Shinden has a range of 531 miles. The A6M Zero 1929 miles, the Ki-43 Oscar has a range of 1600 miles, & the Ki-84 Frank has a range of 1339 miles. Compared to these more conventional Japanese fighters, the Shinden was short ranged.
I am a US citizen, and I did all the computer animations you see in these documentaries. They were produced by a Scottish production company for The History Channel. Just saying.
How come we never see any of these episodes on non-American fighters on History tv anymore?
We used to.
Now we literally ONLY see American victory stuff. Or as someone pointed out, Isreali.
I want to see ALL these great topics from everyone's airforce, this "America only" reminds me of those propaganda films we used to watch in school criticising non-Democracies.
Anyone know where we can get these more open-minded vids?
@GreyCup1989 Bull shit,Most american aviation enthusiasts are heavily into axis a/c .The military channel has wings of the luftwaffe regularly,I know i live in america.I also know americans that are BIG fans of the british WW2 aircraft..in my opinion they were some of the best a/c engineers of ww2.
The Japanese were about to begin the production of the Shinden through the Mitsubishi factories (I believe), but our bombers annihilated their factories before they could begin production. Thank goodness.
What Norway had that time? I would say Norway is just carbon copy of Sweden. If Japan fought against Norway that time, I would say it wont take a week to fully occupy from Olso to nothern end.
You know nothing about Norway, so why pull that in when I stated that the Japanese copied the Me 262? And Japan could never have managed to occupy Norway on their own - we Norwegians have been allied with Great Britain for ages, so forget about an invasion. And I doubt Japan will travel all around earth to occupy a country like Norway. I'm allied with Japan. And why'd you bother, you bonehead? Who are you?
OK. when you point others "copy cat", you should have something ORIGINAL on your side. In this case military machinary...I NEVER saw Norweginan original airplane, battle ship or anything during that time...even now. That's what I meant. By the way, I travelled Norway more than 10 times now, and saw military musiems in Olso and Trondheim. Have you been to Japan?
Well, the Japanese have copied the Me 262, 263 and the US M1A1 bazooka. I'd say the Japanese reniditions are nicer than what they intended to copy, but there's no way one can say the Kikka is an original Japanese design. I'm not neccessarily saying Norway is more original than Japan. Why do we compare Norway to Japan anyway, those are two entirely different nations. And no I haven't been to Japan, but I'm currently studying Japanese language and I'm a big fan of movies such as Yamato and MCML.
wow Mitsubishi, feeling a little national superiority there huh? Shame on you, even if your country is more publicized and has a larger military history, that doesn't mean you can go around saying "your country sucks mines better." Because if I did that, and we all know what happened between Japan and the US, I'd be called a "typical American piece of scum"...do you see where I'm going with this?
So you're saying that you can call your country superior to another, but then when a bigger, badder one comes around doing the same thing. You say they should "calm down". How would I calm down if I'm not outraged, I'm just upset over this whole false superiority thing and you dumping on other peoples country's. Norway is a wonderful country with great culture and a fair share of useful inventions, as is Japan, as is the US.
they say that the rear wing, front canard, was revolutionary in layout ... that is B.S. ... look to the first airplane, the U.S. Wright Flyer, and you will see the same layout ... what was revolutionary was that this Japanese plane was combining that layout with a turbojet powerplant.
germany and japanese manage to hold on that long, imagine if it was brittain and america vs the world?, they would not last that long.............italian bitches abandon germany and japan, fuckin coward
What I'd like is to know where I can get these videos? So disappointed latest American histories like this leave these out. Like Chile??? who did such cgi told USA only.
We never see them on our History Channels/Television.
I've had someone from the US airforce who claimed to have flown the new super Eurofighter which is based on this Shinden design & he claimed it had some advantages.
So thanks to those who find these vids of former foe designs decades ahead of their time. Fascinating.
Thats becuse America likes Properganda we Americans like you guys to think that it's all about us and that ware always smarter then are Enamys. Of corse we never pointed out the posative side of the Germans the Japanese and the Itilans. We always fockes on the negative side of are oponits. intill we losese then we say that there the smarteset people in the world when ever we losese. But when ever win it's a diffrent story. Ya We are sore losseres. Rember that are Goverment's fucked up. Yea
I Never suggested that The RAF Bombed japan only that Le Mays tactics were pure Bomber Command ....after all Le Mays and Arthur Harris knew each other well and must have discussed stategey many times
At first when Eakes? refused to join Harris in night-bombing when the US had to call of day-light raids the first time, the Americans even worried what the RAF were doing was a war-crime as incendiary bombs were violation of Geneva Convention; even called it 'barbaric'.
They claimed it would take 2 years for US crews to catch up to RAF in night bombing.
Yet when day-time losses vs accuracy were too poor, it was certainly hypocritical to go to night-fire-bombing & abomb yes.
The shinden and japanese versions of me 262 &163 would not have made a scrap of difference to the war ......Le Mays had switched to a night offensive carpet bombing industrial and
residential centres with incendiarys very similar to the British night bomber offensive on Germany that was what really smashed Japan up.... The japanese had no equivelant to the "Kammhuber line" no masses of 88mm flak guns no radar equipped fighters of any kind.... you cant shoot down what you cant see
For those who don't want one-sided tales like "Dogfights", there were the great books like "The Aces Talk" and "The Greatest Aces" by Edward H. Sims. There is also more modern books like "Luftwffe Fighter Aces" Mike Spick, & the great JG series like "JG26 Top Guns of the Luftwaffe" & I recently enjoy "Luftwaffe Aces: German Combat Pilots of WWII" Kurowski. Hope that helps.
There's an Anglo-US production called 'Warplanes' & "Air Warriors' that are true historical documentaries not shown sadly.
Here in the USA they haven't shown these programs in months either. They only show stuff like 'Ice Road Truckers' and other nonsense. I did all the CG modeling and animation for the 4 Secret Aircraft shows, which were produced by History Channel by a company in Scotland. THC is turning it's back on WWII subjects, because some woman who hates aircraft is in charge of programing. Working on these shows was lots of fun, I really miss those days. THC sells the DVD's online I think.
I'm certain that IF the Japanese Army wolud have modernized earlier (as some General suggested) the Japanese could have beat the weakened Chinese nation.
How come all we see on TV anymore are American dogfight victories on "Dogfights"?
Seriously, they NEVER do anyone else's dogfight victories.
Remember 'dogfight' is defined as fighter vs fighter action.
Even when they did a Canadian Mosquito program, they chose one of the few American volunteers still in the RCAF instead of the far more Canadian even Commonwealth Aces.
The Edmonton Squadron was hugely offended and insulted a Canadian wasn't used for a Cdn squadron.
Watching these videos I was curious about pilots from other air forces, especially those of the Luftwaffe; I'd love to know what stories one of their 100+ kill aces had, or what they thought about diving after American bombers with all the gunners blazing back. It won't be much longer that we can get stories from these people, so I think we should get as much as we can.
The victor always writes the history,if it wasn't for the atom bomb the americans dropped on innocent japanese civilians who knows what might have happened?
white people are less than 8% of world population and declining, we are a minority, and yet a the majority still calling us racist for trying to stop our race from being overun, every race has a homeland(asia is 99% asian, africa 99%african) but europe is less than 40% european and declining from third world (mostly muslim) races coming to work and intermarry and we are still to take it? our race is dying thanks to hiphop and the ADL making white people guilty of saying they proud of being white
fuck yeah FUGAKU!!!!

Not exactly sure what your point is, but I do believe that the only possible way that the war could have ended differently is if Japan would have invaded Manchuria on December 7 instead of attacking Pearl Harbor. Or maybe even attacked Pearl and then Manchuria. Soviets needed to lose for Japan and Germany to have won.

It seems there was plans and testing for non-conventional airplanes. If they ever build a saucer prototype, it remains a mistery...there was some flying wing, similar to the B2 Spirit, that was stored by the US Airforce. There is an urban legend in which the Northrop designers actually gave a look to the german wing, built 50 years before!!

"...no experience polites left to fly the planes."
The Japanese could of got some of thier more experience army airforce polites over from mainland Asia, where they were fighting, to fly the new jet aircraft. Never the less, they still would have loss the war. Even if the U.S.didn't use the A-bomb, the Japanese would still have to fight Britain and Russia as well as the U.S. But the war would have still lasted longer, I think.

I use to watch the History Channel alot when I had cable. But over the past few years, say since 2005 or 06, the History Channel has become like another Discovery Channel with mind numb reality shows, and shows about all kinds of psuedo science! I wish History would go back to showing shows like this (about recorded history) and stick with their niche market like they did the first 10 years of the channel!

It doesn't matter what the Japs may have come up with in 1945. There were no experienced pilots left to fly the planes. Piston engined aircraft did shoot down ME 262's. There was even a case in Vietnam where a pair of Skyraiders shot down a Mig. Also, early US jet fighters were very slow until the introduction of the F86 Sabre. And even it was mediocre until it got its big upgrade.

They did, with the P-80 Shooting Star.

I don' t think there was a need to use the P-80 against the Japanese, as they were badly weakened and victory for the U.S. in the Pacific was imminent.

It would have been interesting if the Japanese could have developed these jets in time to use them as Kamikazes. One can only imagine what kind of havoc that would have resulted for the American Navy.
18seki 2 years ago 2
It wouldn't have mattered. By the time the Japs really got the "Divine Wind" blowing, they didn't have enough well trained pilots to fly them effectively. Remember the Baka was far faster but again without good pilots most missed. The Japs did alot of damage with the kamikaze but it also broke their back.
Eye4Lites 2 years ago
Eye4Lites, I respectfully disagree. The Baka bombs were not successful because most of the Betty bombers carrying them were getting shot down before they got in the range to release the Baka bombs. Once the Baka bombs were released, pilot skills would not have really mattered as long as they can fly a straight line into the target vessel.
18seki 2 years ago 2
No need to disagree. You are correct i the fact that the Bettys were shot before release range. Ineffective fighter screens by inexperienced pilots. Of the 57 actual combat releases only six hits were scored. Two were recorded shot down by AA, one by fighter, equals 54 pilots that missed. Many reports of Bakas being released and rocketing away from fighters only to water not steel. I can only suppose this is from inexperienced pilots.

It's funny to see that "Spacecruiser Yamato" comics emblem on the jet Shinden.
Most of the stuff were already shown in action a decade earlier when I did the Luftwaffe 1946, WWII 1946 and Kamikaze 1946 comicbook series but it's good to see them in CGI. The Kikka (actually pronounced Kitsuka) was designed as a suicide place (hense the name) so they didn't need to carry the bomb below the fuselage, they were to be packed on the nose, like the Ohka. Extra bomb would've been too heavy for take-off.

Its widely agreed that if the shinden had enter service, a year before the war ended. War would have lasted another 3-5 years. US daylight bombing of japan would have ended and would not have risk senting a nuke into air space still controlled by the japanese in fear of it being shoot down and being reversed engineered.

Well, the Japanese have copied the Me 262, 263 and the US M1A1 bazooka. I'd say the Japanese reniditions are nicer than what they intended to copy, but there's no way one can say the Kikka is an original Japanese design. I'm not neccessarily saying Norway is more original than Japan. Why do we compare Norway to Japan anyway, those are two entirely different nations. And no I haven't been to Japan, but I'm currently studying Japanese language and I'm a big fan of movies such as Yamato and MCML.

chitlika 3 years ago
Yes it was ironic.
At first when Eakes? refused to join Harris in night-bombing when the US had to call of day-light raids the first time, the Americans even worried what the RAF were doing was a war-crime as incendiary bombs were violation of Geneva Convention; even called it 'barbaric'.
They claimed it would take 2 years for US crews to catch up to RAF in night bombing.
Yet when day-time losses vs accuracy were too poor, it was certainly hypocritical to go to night-fire-bombing & abomb yes.

The shinden and japanese versions of me 262 &163 would not have made a scrap of difference to the war ......Le Mays had switched to a night offensive carpet bombing industrial and
residential centres with incendiarys very similar to the British night bomber offensive on Germany that was what really smashed Japan up.... The japanese had no equivelant to the "Kammhuber line" no masses of 88mm flak guns no radar equipped fighters of any kind.... you cant shoot down what you cant see

For those who don't want one-sided tales like "Dogfights", there were the great books like "The Aces Talk" and "The Greatest Aces" by Edward H. Sims. There is also more modern books like "Luftwffe Fighter Aces" Mike Spick, & the great JG series like "JG26 Top Guns of the Luftwaffe" & I recently enjoy "Luftwaffe Aces: German Combat Pilots of WWII" Kurowski. Hope that helps.
There's an Anglo-US production called 'Warplanes' & "Air Warriors' that are true historical documentaries not shown sadly.
