The footage at 0:40 is bad ass. I hope that guy who ran past the flames and jumped right up on that dangling plane got a fucking medal. That's bravery if I've ever seen it.

Fucking courageous guy on 0:45 jumping on to that blazing plane to save the pilot.

@TheBeechingAxe Try Richard Overy''s "Why The Allies Won". We (UK, USA, USSR) won because we weren't over-run in the first weeks; we could mobilize, train & equip millions of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of sailors, tens of thousands of fliers and tens of millions of workers willing to work & think & run mortal risks to win; we were defending ourselves, not trying to enslave or murder others. And #1, we could replace leaders, theories, etc., if they failed. if "x" didn't work, we tried "y".

@dburford9 Hardly based on the comments it makes the pilot of the plane and the pilot that helped save the wounded pilot courageous and heroic

There is better quality footage out there. I don't know why it is so degraded.

Hmm which would be harder landing on a WW2 era aircraft carrier or the new ones like now?

@dburford9 Why not? you do realise that most of those airplanes were battle damaged & in many cases the pilots wounded didn't you? lets see you try to land on a rocking flightdeck after flying 200 miles in an airplane barely able to fly with wounds from machine gun bullets or shrapnal, with your windscreen coated in oil, oil in your eyes, maybe even with 2nd or third degree burns on your hands & feet . those boys were a tough bunch.
