  • Heros..RIP

  • Amazing story finally they do come home, we owe them so much.

  • @bad74maverick1. You are talking about 'Witchcraft'. I saw it at a Wings of Freedom show in Tyler, Texas back in the Early Spring. Many years ago I had the opportunity to assist changing the oil on the #3 engine of one of those converted B-24s, 'Diamond Lil'. I had to decline due to a bitchy wife who had enough of the museum. Two mistakes I will not repeat. BTW... I am a C-130T Loadmaster for the Navy. The Mighty Herc is built like a tank compared to WWII bombers. We fly w/ the doors ope

  • @navylife54 Plane is only built that way after the lessons they learned from those bombers ;)

  • Stuff a sock in your rhetoric and GET THAT COCK OUTTA YOUR ASS!

  • I remember reading about this in the Globe..such an awesome story. Glad they found the missing soldiers.

  • Makes you wonder something the media and the inaccuracy of what they’re talking about. They call airmen soldiers and they talk about B25’s but show B17’s. Not major grave errors I guess but still it makes me wonder about subjects that I don’t know about and wouldn’t be able to pick out the discrepancies …..never the less I’m happy for the family’s now able to have some closure

  • @adamjlemus I meant B 24...opps

  • I appreciate our service-members, but I find the use of the word "hero" for everyone one who is killed, specious at best. I'm a veteran and served in the marines. Maybe World War II was a war in which our freedom was being protected, but after that EVERY war has been to spread and protect Americans hegemony at the expense of innocent lives and you don't get a pass because you consented to become an exploited labourer for our corrupt gov't.

  • The news reporter said a B-25.

  • YOU THINK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE USED THE RIGHT FILM FOOTAGE,THOSE ARE B17'S NOT B24'S

  • this is such an honor to have know the name of these men, an the families who loved them

    RIP Brave Airmen

  • I wish that my uncle and his crew of the B24 flown by Lt. Schmitt would be found. he was lost after bombing Warsaw in Dec 1944. RIP

  • @cbarsonfire It's wonderful you remember your uncle and the crew and by that give homage to them that way. Reminder of so many other families still waiting for the return of their loved ones.

  • did he say b25

  • @nolifemerc lol yeah he says "B-25" at the 0:44 mark. Worse still is the news item showed footage of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses (not Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers)

  • @unklebobosaurus dont u hate it 2 , it all over all the time, talking about lancasters and showing halifaxes same shit all over.

  • @nolifemerc I wish they'd show more Halifax's than Lancasters, the Halifax being an unsung hero of Bomber Command. It's like when they talk of the Battle of Britain and always show Spitfires (when really there were many more Hurricane's in the air).

  • great news media. With all the video available out there, they couldn't find a single picture of a B-24 nor videos from the war in the Pacific. Good work, folks.

  • @powndpuppy I guess they assumed you woulkd be smart enough to look it up yourself...

  • @powndpuppy ... or they could always find a B24 on YouTube ...

    watch?v=z8hhKC-1grA&feature=fe­edrec_grec_index

  • I was wondering what in the world they were talking about, a B25 with an 11 man crew. LOL. Then i looked at the top rated comment.

  • Very interesting situation but sure would have liked to see the remains of the aircraft.Thanx for posting!

  • not only is the footage of B-17s but it's also the wrong theater. Those birds are flying over Europe not Asian targets. (look at the terrain) BTW I'm a civilian, but I know my hardware.

  • Flew in a B-24J this past weekend last flying B-24 Bomber in the world. (Yes there are 1 or 2 others that are flying but they were cargo carriers to start with) a most amazing experience.

  • @bad74maverick1 lucky bastard! how did you manage that? my dad flew the b 24 in the pacific and also the pby off the east coast doing submarine patrol. went to an airshow with him once that had a b24 you could walk through, his thought, "i don't remember it being so small". his last mission was to be low level flights over japan with loud speakers and dropping leaflets ahead of the invasion of the main land. always told us, "be glad they dropped the A bomb, you wouldn't be here" so very true!

  • Well it was at bolton airport heading to the wright-pat air force base museum, ohio. It was with a P-51 mustang and the B-17 Nine o Nines. I'll tell you what I told my ww2 buddies If you never do anything else in your life please please DO THAT. It's $425 but it's a donation to the collings foundation so it's charitable, keeps them flying, and it's a tax write off. Send me a private message and let me know your state and town and I will pull a schedule and see when or if they get near you.

  • These media idiots obviously don’t care, as is evidenced by the complete lack of knowledge concerning issues like this. They made no attempt to be accurate. Typical liberal mindset, you can see how much they care about the facts concerning how we the Americans and our allies saved the entire humanity FROM SLAVERY. Go back and fix your makeup for the camera you shameless miscreants.

  • Bad apart this is that I have actually seen this type of misrepresentation on the History Channel. Showing the B-25 and talking about the Liberator. And no file footage, my ass! Have they ever heard of YouTube?

  • if you can read this...thank a teacher. If you are reading this in ENGLISH... THANK A VETERAN

  • @MrFITHsleezy If you are reading this in ENGLISH... THANK A VETERAN <<--- DONT YOU MEAN... THANK THE ENGLISH?? THEY CAME UP WITH THE LANGUAGE.. Also, lets not FORGET THANK YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS TOO..

  • @hollywoodhottie19 If it were not for our service people in WW2 we would be speaking German which is what he was talking about.

  • @MrFITHsleezy Thank a veteran that you can speak and read freely in ANY language you wish ;)

  • @MrFITHsleezy - I don't understand; no one was ever poised to invade the US, nor could they have.

  • @MrFITHsleezy  RIGHT ON!

  • @MrFITHsleezy although in some ways dont as im sure you know they dont like or want it

  • @MrFITHsleezy AMERICAA!!!! FUCK YEA!!!!!!

  • hate when people can't tell the difference between B24,B25 and B17 and the cant be ar*d to check

  • Sloppy reporting. It's "all the same" to those so-called professional media types, everything interchangeable. It's unnerving.

  • really thse were b17s not b25s

  • why are they showing stock footage of b17s?

  • @bulletman100 News stations do not archive footage. They turn to advertising agencies for film!

  • 15 gooks got nuked

  • Nice to know that they couldn't be bothered to show a B-24 instead of a B-17 and that they coudn't call it a B-24 instead of a B-25. Fucking philistines.

  • @squeeth - you expect more from the Media?  Really? PS - I agree with you.

  • @squeeth These newscasters are too young & ignorant to know the difference between a B-17, B-24 or B-25. It's all ancient history to them and doesn't really matter.

  • reporters some of the lowest bottom feeders in high school. retards all. im going to major in journalism because i need to further my reading skills. LOL is my kinky hair straight? LOL

  • R.I.P Thanks for your help

  • they show footage of b17s not b24s dumb reporters

  • they footage they show of b17s

  • Those were b-17s not b-25 bombers.

  • My utmost respect and admiration to true heroes that risked all to keep us safe. Everyone should remember that sacrifice. We still have heroes today that follow in their footsteps. Make no mistake, they may be from a different era, but they are still cut from the same cloth. That of a true American Soldier, Sailor, and Airman.

  • @navylife54 That was a generation the likes of which we've not seen since. It truly was the last great war - a war for a real cause- not oil, not terrorists with no face- two sides facing off, making themselves known rather than cowardly roadside bombs - they were enemies, and they knew it. As horrible as WWII was, I have to admire the bravery of those who fought a war in which they knew MILLIONS were dying, and the upfront way they did it. It was a war to save the world, truly.

  • @navylife54 More for corporate greed than keeping us safe. War is to make the rich richer & the poor poorer, has nothing to do with freedom blah blah blah. Don't you think that if the government fucked off and let people live together like how they were supposed to we wouldn't be going to wars spending trillions of dollars and losing thousands of lives? over GREED, POWER & CONTROL. Soldiers are finally starting to wake up and see the big picture about what war is REALLY about.

  • Typical media. They say B-25, show pictures of a B-17, and it was actually a B-24.

  • nice story, the bond the men had back then along with manner,s and respect is long gone today, but to see this old guy and his found buddie,s is really a great and certainly warms the heart ,fallen from that war,,good clip thankyou.

  • @wogbasha my grandfather was attila the huns' ugly sister

  • many soldier after the war stayed in france or austria and still live there now.. They never returned.. some soldiers after a wars feel that they wont be able to fit back in with their old lives and wont be able to deal with life back home so they just stay and changed their identity.. incredible really.

  • @PineTreeAndCone especially the ones with ugly wives !

  • it should be mentioned that close to half of civil war dead were never identified

  • they are finally at rest with a propper burial

  • what no footage of the under water wwreck what a rip off

  • @BunkyOhare Sorry about the posting foul up. My comment was that there is no other country on earth that spends so much money and time trying to trace, and bring back the remains as the US. There is a special task force that does nothing else but focus on their MIA's, I forget their title. Good on them I say !

  • Your are all a bunch of idiots arguing over what kind of plane it was...if you had any respect for WWII and the men and women who fought and carried out other tasks you'd be happy to know these men were found instead of worrying about the plane model.

  • RIP

  • why did the plane crash?

  • lol 10 crew b25 f reporter moron

  • on video b17 reporter says b25 and description says b25 wtf

  • japs raid (10 man) normal 25 man (heroic)

    lol

  • @Adamus70

    Sorry mate but i dont want viruses or keyloggers to my computer.

  • @ledari Hello, it is of course your very personal decision to join Worldcommunitygrid or not.

    But please think about the fakt, that it is IBM and no one else, who have made BOINC and worldcommunitygrid. To me, it is clear, that a frim like IBM would not place their good name and renomee at risk by infecting only a single PC with a virus. And: Their are at several thousand people contributing already. They would not do so for sure if the thing was a source for viruses. Think aubout it, please.

  • @Adamus70

    Allright mate, i will do that.

  • @ledari

    Thank you very much in the name of those who will

    get help thanks to your decision.

    All the best for you.

    It was a pleasure to meet you.

  • @ledari hey i dont kno if u kno japs is racist to japanese people but if u could call us japanese thx

  • isant that the bermuda triangle were they disapeard

  • rip

  • Back in the day, during WW2 the Army and Air force were united..

    May the Rest in Peace..

  • Wow three errors already and I'm only a min into the video

  • @therealhannoverfisk America is dumbed down by Jews and their public school system

  • @therealhannoverfisk No wonder all kids today are ignorant about WW2

  • @moogug im 14 and im not

  • @therealhannoverfisk No, some of us civilians CAN identify these planes. You mean to write " Typical MEDIA idiots".

  • @therealhannoverfisk The station probably didn't have any file footage of a B-24

  • @therealhannoverfisk Civilian idiots.  I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we have no respect for you and don't give a shit about your opinion.

  • @therealhannoverfisk ...Dont you love reporters that "pretend" to care about subjects they know nothing about!?...FAIL!!!...

  • @therealhannoverfisk Haha!!  Thumbs up for you, sir!

  • @therealhannoverfisk "Typical civilian idiots" - what a ridiculous thing to say.  Asperger's much?

  • What a lame, inaccurate bit of "reporting"...

  • Bozos keep showing footage of B-17Gs. I kow its stock film clips, but come on.

  • of course...

  • The German state today systematically uses torture and assassination to shut down everyone complaining immediately. Examples are Heiner Gehring (author) or Uwe Barschel. My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years and then was assassinated. Because of our book and homepage linked on my channel. Anybody who dares to tackle the German human rights abuses? Or is it just like: Don´t care, its Germany, they even got away with killing 6 m Jews.

  • RIP soldier.

  • USA USA USA!

  • Woa, people who have any kind of a head on their shoulders think the world of the americans. Me too. Without them the world would be a lot more screwed up than it is. Bet on it.

  • @TheCatsmeatman however with them the world is a lot more fucked up than it needs to be... Yes I admit without the Americans WWII would have been won by the Germans, however that too can be said for the Russians and Brits, the USA did not fight the war all by themselves... next without the US so much other crap would never have happened, Vietnam War (On the same scale) and Desert storm etc etc, America is a lot worse than you are making it out to be

  • @willbaboon well im gonna keep living here and enjoying the good life. in america

  • @willbaboon Without the US there would be a lot more distress, you have to think of more than just wars, think trade and economics, we're all just a big puzzle and with a missing piece all hell breaks loose. You cant point fingers just like that.

  • @willbaboon - I don't understand how you can find fault with the USA for coming to the aid of South Vietnam in the Vietnam War. South Vietnam was being invaded by communist North Vietnam. Should the U.S.A. just have stood by while South Vietnam was taken over and massacred? Ditto for Dessert Storm. Should America just have said, "No", to Kuwait, when they asked for help in stopping Saddam Hussein/Iraq invading them and taking them over? America comes to the aid of nations being attacked...

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 as in some way it supports their Agenda, do you really truly believe America went into Iraq to aid the surrounding nations? If you do I have to say you are more ignorant than I initially believed, I admit as a Brit I believe the British government went in because of Oil, if there was no oil we wouldn't have sent any aid. Why do you think we are staving off invading Somalia or other nations similarly afflicted, there is nothing we need from the country. The USA is just as bad

  • @willbaboon ...and invaded, but you find fault with America? How can you do this, unless you are saying you support the forces of evil?

  • @JohnQuincyAdams1 Oh wow, bring out the old Communists are Evil tactic. If America had not invaded Vietnam the outcome would have been the same except with a lot fewer deaths, Vietnam is still a communist country yet it is not trying to take over the rest of the world is it? As America failed it simply shows what could have been without them getting involved. Additionally so far in regard to Desert Storm I do not understand why America has to take it upon itself to aid EVERYONE in need as long

  • @willbaboon I agree, the USA should bring all their troops home, cut of ALL foreign aid and mind our own business.

  • @famapublica Agreed 100%

  • japans country is a wasteland!!! but i think thats amazing :)))))

  • woooooooooooot my country rules my country is japan

  • B-25? Fighting Japs? Why did they show b-17's over europe.

  • rather the B17s over Dresden and the nazi krispy kritters in heaps smouldering like matresses

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haah

  • @priscillamartin100 let me guess, you live in the usa

  • @magnusalexa - Don't let the poor behavior and idiocy of some dumb kid on YouTube represent all Americans. The punk is just that, a punk. Ignore them.

  • @priscillamartin100 because of idiots like you, the world thinks all Americans are assholes.

  • @papiiuenvy186 - priscillamartin100 is just some wet behind the ears kid. Don't let them get under your skin.

  • Shows you not to believe anything these idiots feed you in the news. No attention to detail = No Respect. Shit heads

  • @ThePackers123 Because the media doesn't know squat about military aircraft so they just run file footage of whatever the lazy producer comes up with.

  • The Media doesn't know squat about most things yet they act haughty and above us all.

  • Reminds me of the Lady Be Good, a B-24 that crashed in 1943.

  • Reporters who know nothing about history and editors who could care less make these mistakes all the time. Some of know and care but have to understand the ignorance.

  • @camp69 they could care less, but they could care more. What you said doesn't make sense. Maybe if you said they couldn't care less.

  • nobody continued the pursuit.. it was found by a farmer.

  • :43 "...and ten crewmen inside a B-25 bomber..." LOL, dumbass. I thought it was a B-24. Oh well, not everyone realizes how much difference there can be between "-24" and "-25". Or between M1 and M1! LOL, I guess we shouldn't be too hard on them. When was this from? Ten years ago I saw an article in National Geographic about a wreck they found in the jungle. Maybe it was Vietnam, but I remember the pictures of dogtags, a revolver, and some pieces of the wreck. Was this the same thing maybe?

  • my great grandpa has been missing since the avengers. he was on one of the B-24s

  • watch this! ww2 secret german ice tunnel found in norway

  • i remember watching a documentry on this couple of years back

  • These new's guys are fail,they were talking about a B-25 though the story was about a B-24 and they showed pictures of a B-17 bomber... like WTF?! otherways nice find and tnx for the upload dude ^^

  • thats exactly what i was thinking they were showing a b-17 it was pissing me off the whole time.

  • I was thinking B-25, that'll be 5 crew members MAX! so I was confused too!

  • nahh the B-25 is about 7 ppl min, you've got the tail gunner,2 waist gunners,a top gunner,2 pilots,bombandeer,navigator and a radioman.

  • Every year in Berlin today an average of 8,000 corpses are found....

  • no shit??

  • How do you know? I'm genuinely curious... and where do they find them? parks? gardens?...

  • ???bahahaha where did u get that bogus fact from

  • Did you make up that number or did you blindly believe it when some told you? Berlin's population was about 4,000,000. This 8000 per year is about a half million found so far. Less than 200 - intact - skeletons have been found since 1997. Additionally, verified civilian deaths in Berlin during the war are about 120,000.

  • ..I read this in Anthony Beevors' brilliant book ' Berlin- the Downfall'. Has he made it up then??!!

  • this kind of shit happened all the time durrin ww2.... theres still over 10 000 missing people

  • lol not 10.000 but 500.000++ would be a closer number

  • Why do they keep showing B17s when the plane was a B24? Typical MSM.

  • @boogeyman450 because they wouldnt know a plane if they were sky-diving and they got hit.

  • They're showing B-17s though. B-17shave a single vertical stabilizer at the rear. B-24s have 2 shorter vertical stabilizers; one at either end of the elevators.

  • and your wrong too because they went down in a B-24D.......dumbass reporters and dumbass people...wtf

  • They show a B-17s,  4 engine -NOT- a B-25's twin engine, the dumb azzes.

    Show some respect for the dead, do some damn research !

  • It's a B-24, not a B-25. B-24s have 4 engines.

  • o wow, the image in the beginning was a B-17....

  • amazing,a veteran from cambridge massachusetts ?uNFORTUNATELY TODAYS CAMBRIDGE IS A LEFTWING ,LIBERAL ANTI MILITARY COMMUNITY,SHAMEFUL.massachuset­ts is pretty much bleeding heart liberal anti military.

  • Grow Up.

  • I don''t think they where a bunch of fag loving bin laden supporters then.

  • Oh my gosh!!!!!!! The poor chaps went down in a b-24, the news reporter says b-25, and the show pics of a b-17. I hate it when they get the planes mixed up.

  • looks pretty good for 85, much respect given by me a Brit to all the U.S soldiers that joined us in ww2 ,better late than never .

  • This Liberator went missing between Dobodura and Hanover Island, Bismarck Sea area on an armed reconnaissance of the area. It radioed at 0035/L "Why aren't lights on?", presumably because it could not find Dobodura. This was the last message from the aircraft, and further attempts to establish radio contact failed. A two day search of the area north of Cape Gloucester, its last reported position, failed to locate any sign of the aircraft.

  • It was a Mitchell. I know because my great-great-uncle flew a B-25 and crashed over New Guinea. It took them a year to find the remains. I don't know if they were his or not because they didn't have DNA testing.

  • instead of picking on news reporters be happy the men were found after all this time and in that jungle RIP GUYS thank you from all england

  • nice end for em found and loved.

  • brave men, you are missed

  • thanks for that

  • lol and they called it a b-25

  • Idiot TV talking heads...the crew was in a B-24, the clips they were showing were B-17s. What idiots!

  • A long time ago, journalists were self-made and an important grasp of general culture was mandatory. Documenting before releasing an article was. Nowadays, they come out from colleges and universities and barely know anything beyond how to type a keyboard or pose nicely in front of a camera.

    Which is, to say the least paradoxical, now that we all have access to the biggest library ever conceived by man: the Internet.

  • You got that right. I think their first agenda is getting their makeup right and showing their capped teeth. Shame how accurate information is right at their fingertips and they're too self-absorbed to go after it.

  • the sad thing is that this is the history people use

  • 99% of the time they are right. If they weren't, I wouldn't be the walking encyclopedia of warfare that I am now.

  • i guess young news people

    told to find footage of bombers

    from the arcives so yes they did well

    they were bombers

    prob is wrong type wrong front

    BUT a family got to find out what happened

  • WE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND....

  • What about the ones we never have and never will find? I guess it doesn't sound so reassuring to potential recruits to say "WE LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND(unless we can't find you). JOIN THE U.S. MILITARY NOW!" LOL, no I know what you mean. But sometimes it's not possible to be brought home. There are still US boys lying in the jungles in Viet Nam, and probably in the Pacific too.. That's part of what The Unknown Soldier is about; honoring those who never came back, who are buried nameless far from home

  • Sometimes there are no mortal remains to find. On a documentary about Iwo Jima one veteran commented about men being listed as MIA because they were caught by a close/direct shell hit, and there was absolutely nothing left of them to find. You couldn't go look in that bush/ in that trench/ behind that rock, and find their remains -  they just vanished.

  • The covenant fulfilled. We will search for your body, forever.

    Rest in peace.

  • interesting story,shame about the use of B17 footage,instead of B24's though ;)

  • it says in the report it was a b25?. thats a micheal twin engined bomber.

    i understand what you mean though.

    R.I.P.
