0:38 “ the me262 is a single-seater fighter bomber-“ a what 😂

It's said the Germans based their more powerful, 88mm rocket Panzerschreck, after capturing early bazooka in North Africa.

Слава Великой Германии!!!

Seen one 1973 it was loud

Thank you as a hypnotherapist I was looking for this after reading Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps The Score where he mentions this film.

The narrator mentions the man in the tow plane, but it could easily be a woman. Towing target sleeves was a common assignment for WASPs.

Very Hightech at that time! And very very secret. I wonder how they made this movie?

Props to the film crew that had to gather the footage on an airplane in flight. Nowadays it would be as simple as placing a gopro in the cockpit. But in the time it was filmed it was all analog. So there was so much more needed to capture the moment. The size and reliability of the camera was important, but also the pilots ability had to be carefully considered. So much more was done, and it's impressive considering what was available at the time.

The japs zero let the wildcat chase then on their tail then climb steep and wait for wildcats to stall then the zero picks the wildcat stalling. the wildcats find a way to out maneuver the zero by doing the wave x formation with wingmen and lure the zero to tail one wildcat then the other wildcat shoots the chasing zero.

Good one, Zeno-this will be incredibly valuable. Thanks!-Nick

My dad was B-24 pilot shot down during a raid on Ploiesti oil fields He was MIA escaped and evaded as well as worked with and aided the underground getting back to friendly allied lines

Zeno-I'm at a stage in my story where the B-24 crew has arrived at their hardstand. I haven't found anything that describes all the procedures they have to do before boarding. Do you have any videos like that?

Thank you for all your work in preserving history

My Dad served there CMSG Pete Pettit. did a TDY for six months , and than 2 tours. he loved the Thai people there.

Those searches weren't that thorough. My mother in law does that everytime she's visiting and thinks we aren't watching

You put your blurb across the bottom of the entire video. What a slob.

(2:53) First time ever I played the role of "Bitchin Betty". I was screaming pull up. That plane flew through the top of that fucking tree.

Good film. Funny though, the first part should be called, "Nachtjagers doing goofy shit". 8-)

Have you guy’s noticed that there were no torque wrenches used! Just by pure muscles 💪 and feeling the strength! 👋😂👉we’re spoiled now a days! With power tools and torque wrenching!

They spun the globe the wrong way (sunrise in the west) in the opening! LOL! I'm glad this crew made movies and didn't plan battles!!

My father was a medic. What he saw was bad.

Japanese flack is nothing compared to German flack

After flying his 50 combat missions in WWII, my father, Lt Col John H Belko ended up being a B-25 instructor pilot in Columbia, SC.

I should have been a ww2 fighter pilot, I was born too late

Thanks for uploading this

nicely explained! adtually the only really well done vid i found inline so far...! thanks! maybe food for GA and UL pilots!

Great piece, thanks for posting! My dad was RAF ground crew in Burma and a lot of that film is pure tosh! It's very interesting but doesn't represent what really went on. There weren't many bombers per se, it was up close and personal. If you look at Burma there is nothing to bomb in the conventional sense! Dad worked on all sorts of planes but the vital one was the Hurriibomber. This was used as air support for when the 'brown jobs' - the army -- encountered Japanese resistance as they advanced through the jungle. They would call in the Hurribombers using them in a ground attack role. Thus they staggered through Burma, having to create new airstrips in the jungle every so often. Sometimes the Japanese would counter-attack. I recall my dad saying he had to go around collecting dogtags from the dead after one counterattack got close to them. He took the dogtag from one body and it had exactly the same name of one of his best friends - a bit of a shocking coincidence! My dad's legs were covered in scar tissue from the leeches and they gave him trouble for the rest of his life. He was still in the jungle when the war in Europe ended, he said it meant nothing to them. After Little Boy and Fat Man some Japanese in the jungle refused to believe their nation had surrendered and he was shot at in October! He didn't get back home until 1947 -- they just didn't have the transport to get everyone home immediately. There were several mutinies when this became known but it was all hushed up at the time. Cheers!

Nice thanks for posting,

good ol water injection

This guys in all these old ww2 instructional videos. Capt. Reynolds in the one about surviving after ditching a plane he was also the engineer who talked in the one about resisting enemy interrogation in Dulag Luft. I wonder what his name is….

I really appreciate this film and the soldiers’ responses later near the end of the film. What a journey toward healing these brave men walked. These were the fortunate ones.

"92% ran hot straight and normal" hilarious

My father celebrated his 17 th birthday in New Guinea, as a medic. They called him baby because of his age.

RIP To the 307 US Navy men and airmen (three killed as prisoners) and 3,057 Imperial Japanese Navy men and airmen who were killed in the Battle of Midway

That folding wing mechanism was brilliant. Stack Hellcats tree top high on the carriers because of that folding wing.

Burn the Tyres ?

So interesting, the A20 would fall apart if you actually did a bit of hard flying. Like Ykes.

My father was in Mason General Hospital for 8 months after liberating the Nazi Concentration Camps and being traumatized by the horrors he saw. He only avoided heavy narcotic and shock therapy by the sheer will to get better without these interventions. This film has made me understand a lot more about his trauma, and I am devastated that I did not bother to research the MGH and this important film while he was alive. It would have given me a much better perspective, and allowed for greater understanding of his inner pain and anxiety he carried within him his whole life.

I'm happy that the classic "man thinking with the wrong head" strategy has been depicted too. I think thats underestimated.

MY LATE FATHER WAS A CREW CHIEF ON P 47S IN THE 9TH AIRFORCE IN WW2. LOVED THE THUNDERBOLT !!! BEST FIGHTER IN WW2 !!!!

B 17 devastation Dody

Just think 11 years prior to this, the B-17 was the main bomber of the Army Air Forces with the B-29 closing the gap. Amazing.

@ 1:29 - the meanest SOB pict of all times

The only way I can understand what’s happening in that classroom is the teacher narrating the action of the video. But. Like. Only the parts he does voice over for

I had the honor to meet Buzz at Williams AFB! Nice man!

wow the jerries have english accents. how ridicules

Wow P38 crosses in front of his buddy.... incredibly dangerous environment.

Ronald Reagan narrated this!

Really sounds like they intentionally sent out "the old man" with a plane that had no maps or ammo, then God didn't allow him to encounter the enemy & die while also blessing him "the best job in the wor" 😄 the guy who just liked to fly is the best

It's not that great, I'm watching a 480p copy on another channel, the original and I find it more stable. In this so called HD version the faces for example of people are jumping around.
