ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Philippine Top Gun Pilot Captain Jesús Antonio Villamor leads seven other Filipinos against a far superior Tainan Kogun Kokutai, a unit of elite fighters of the Imperial Japanese Air Force during World War 2 (WWII). With the enemy having the advantage in number, performance, pilot experience, and firepower can Captain Villamor with the 6th Pursuit Squadron defend the motherland against these mighty invaders?

Good ACM details. My Dad also flew from Zamblan airfield. He told us about Conde flying between mango trees and around a Church steeple.
All aircraft at Zablan field were carpet bomb by the Japanese at night by 12/10, coordinates provided by Japanese spies (sidewalk vendors).
He also saw Villamor flying a PT-13 photo plane from Corregidor escorted by 4 US Army P-40E. Keep up the history , all these details need to be kept alive. Also FYI, common injury of P-26 pilots was shrapnel in the butt injury.
Wow your dad was a ww2 pilot. Salute. And that he saw Conde and Villamor, awesome. Glad you liked our video. Thanks Volks and thanks for the info about the butt injury. 😊
Masid I think the P-26 armor did not include armor under the seat, just the back. Also another Pilot Lt. Eduardo Lacson was flying a Segorsky P-35 (US roundels “All Pilots were absorbed into the US Army in1941) was flying a combat air patrol over Negros Island and encountered fuel management mistake and decided to bail out. He was a PAL super DC-8 pilot until Diabeties in 1971 retired him early. Filipino pilots were given P-35s but technically they were classified as US Army pilots. Only ace in the Philippines was American Boyd “Buzz” Wagner who shot down 5 zeros flying the P40E (P35 pilot before WW2). He was withdrawn to the Dutch East Indies by mid December 1941. A P35 in a museum has the markings of Buzz Wagners P35 while stationed at Clarkfield 1940-1941.
Cool info. Thanks for sharing Volks!
@@MasidPH My love for The Philippines !
Apologies if sometimes I say ''Philippinese" instead of Filipino.

Finally, there's a Filipino history Channel that speaks English now. This is very important, so that our international/foreign friends could learn our history too.
They also have them in Tagalog as well!
To get 1 A6M on a freaking Peashooter, and outmaneuvering it is something that was rarely done on the early days of WW2.
That is one outstanding airmanship from him!
and he got a betty bomber too. Dayum
"The weapon are made by wood but the men are made by steel".
Keep it up IDOL the more videos you upload the more learned I can get😊
Looks like the N.B.I. gave you the link to this video
We Filipinos need to remember the valor & sacrifice of our OWN Greatest Generation!!!
True, but the Philippine History Classes in every schools only taught the students about Martial Law and Edsa Revolution.
Philippine Histories such as this can only be found in TH-cam.
ngayon ko lang nalaman na si villamor,,at yung lima pa,mga pilipino pilot pala,,,bihirang mabasa sa libro yan,,marami palang magagaling na pilipino,,,,
@@justme-653 kaya may Villamor Airbase
Thanks for this. Everytime I visit Villamor Air Base I am reminded always of his Legend and the brave squadron he flew alongside with.
You’re welcome Sir David! 👍
Masid keep providing young generations more information of "Pinoys Heroism". I am a health care worker here in Florida providing therapy for the greatest generation. Everytime I learned from my patients that they serve in the Pacific theater specifically Philippines they salute me for being a Pinoy! " Your soldiers are one heck of a fighter". Some remember they were ordered to retreat but your guys give a good fight. These forces us to fight along with them. One said Gen MacArthur's quote are true "Give me ten thousand Filipinos and I shall conquer the world!". Got plenty of these stories and I cherish their testimony. It makes me emotional.
Hi! Yes Sigma 6ers we will definitely create more videos like this in the future. It’s comments like yours that push us to create stories of great Filipinos that we can share to our young generation and to the rest of the world. Thanks!
Also, yes it’s no big surprise for us that our veteran Filipino soldiers are well-respected around the world. Many American veterans know how well Filipinos fought in WW2. That’s why we are proud of this video. It’s our way of honoring them for their sacrifice.
And hey, you too should consider yourself a hero for taking care of these great soldiers. Glad you enjoyed our video. Thanks Sigma 6ers! Watch out for our next upload coming soon!
We should make a movie of this for all Filipinos history
@UNCLE TH-cam Kuya we need action movie about our were history Philippines Air Forces we must know are where heros we should make a movie of this even in Taiwan they all ready make a film tayu wala puros mga drama lang sir history well not forgotten our where Philippines Air Forces from Philippines I m from leyte tacloban city

Thanks Grin Aldi!
I loveee ireland
Filipino btw
It's not about how beautiful and advance your planes are it's all about skills
Back in the day, that is a thing. Not much in this modern era. Thus, the nostalgia of the "dogfight" era of the World Wars and lastly during the Korean War.
Ohmygoood! Now I know why it it called Villamor Airbase! I’m going to tell everybody about your videos! Make some more! Please. Thank you.
Thank you Fe Bron! Will do! ❤️
Hollywood and British movies shows to people of world the Filipino fighters in the ww2 as savage wild jungle tropics's people not like army soldiers and heroic person who can flying air plans - I Don know about that . With western propaganda western people are smarter than eastern people and people in the world believes that as stereotypes .
Even basa airbase😊 the next pilot first to die in aerial combat
Basa afb too
Nanonood lang ako pero sumakit loob ko yung iiyak ako haha. Ansakit sa pakiramdam malaman na sa dami, sa firepower, sa range, sa experience lugi tayo. Pero laban parin kahit sobrang tagilid at maliit na porsyento na manalo hanggang sa kahulihulihang hininga. Para akong batang inagawan ng kendi nakaka iyak.
Thanks for sharing the history of villamor air base. Now i know. Salute to all heroes of world war 2
Huhhh! Goose bumps!!! My salute sir.proud being filipino.

Salute to the Philippines 🇵🇭

Wow na shock po ako, meron napo palang mga ganito sa TH-cam, pagpatuloy niyo po!!!
great video. When I saw the pic of his plane I knew those were old aircraft, not comparable to zeros. Even the best american planes at the time were at a disadvantage compared to the zero until new american planes came along. On there other hand the Brewster Buffalo was obsolete and purchased by Finland, but the fins racked up lots of kills against russians because of better training. In fact, the Buffalo has one of the highest kill ratios of WWII, even though it was obsolete at the time.
Hi Jg! Glad you enjoyed our video. 😃 Yup, the zero was a great aircraft during the late 30s and early 40s, but you're right, by 1942 it became less effective against newer Allied fighters. Kudos to the Fins! It's a plus when you have great pilot skills.
Jg Rsb,
it was amazing how the Finns used the barrel-bodied Buffalo so effectively against the sovs' I-16 another barrel-bodied fatty, but rated by the nazis as a dangerous opponent already in Spain and even later on the Eastern Front itself where the Luftwaffe deployed its most advanced pilots & equipment.
I was astonished to read in a 1964 issue of the American aviation magazine Air Progress about the dreaded
I-16 and how the Brewster Buffalo, slaughtered by the Japanese in the Philippines, shot the I-16 ''out of the skies'' !
In fact the Japanese Zeros had already encountered the I-16 in China and Mongolia, and found it no easy prey.
Martin Caidin's ''The Rugged, Ragged Warriors" (1966) had a chapter on the early days of war in the Pacific with mentions of the impossible exploits with their junk planes by Captain Villamor and Captain William Dyess against the Japanese on Bataan.
Really appreciate you guys for uploading an english and filipino version. Keep up the great work!!! ✌️😎
Thanks Carina! More to come!
The Fact that he outfought a zero with an outdated peashooter fighter is already a fcking achievement
guess that's why he got the medal with just two kills

Glad you finally found what you were looking for. Visit our TH-cam channel to find more stories available in both English and Filipino (Tagalog). 😊👍
Incredible talk about against the odds. Yes more stories like this please.
Will do Kim. 😊
I have been reading about World War 2 history since 1954. As far as i can remember the squadron of Captain Jesus Villamor was called the 26th pursuit squadron and not the 6th squadron. General Douglas MacArthur personally decorated him with the Distinguish Flying Cross and the Distinguish Service Cross in Corregidor before MacArthur left for Australia on March 16, 1942 aboatd the US Navy pt boats that proceeded to Mindanao. He then went to Malaybalay, Bukidnon where he and his family were flown aboard a B-17 bomber to Australia. The rest of Captain then Colonel Jesus Villamor’s story is a very long and glorious one which will take several more hours to write about.
Filipino's very talented
He wrote a book"THEY NEVER SURRENDERED "
I like the story and the animation was cute🥺♥️
Thanks whizz 29! 😃
Welcome back! It's nice to hear you back and this video! Very educational! Nagkakamindblown ☺️🤯

Thank You God, that you were with the American and Filipino forces.
This is the philippino simple history.
Great job sir
Its nice to know our History.
and I'm here now at villamor air base right now..... thanks to our brave pilot....
I first read about Captain Villamor in Pierre Clostermann's "Flames In The Sky"(1957),
in the chapter "Bataan, Too Little Too Late"
Hi Charles! I haven’t read this one yet. Wonderful that Captain Villamor is in it. Will try to look for a copy. Thanks! 😊
@@MasidPH Be sure to get also Martin Caidin's
''The Ragged Rugged Warriors" 1966.
Good read !
@@MasidPH Captain Villamor accompanied USAAF Captain William Dyess, while besieged in Bataan, in night air raids against IJAF barracks and airfields causing them heavy losses.
Didn’t know capt Villamor was from abra till i watched your video he’s a “lakay” and i’m proud of it 😊
Hope you make more history related video like this coz they’re very informative....more power sir

Thanks for the info it is worth it watching for. For more knowledge about history. It deserves more views! I bet millions of views. I was amazed it was interesting.
You’re welcome and thanks Robert! ❤️ Thanks too for your awesome comment! 😃👍
Sana magka movie ito kahit gawa ng UK. Pag US kasi daming cheche bureche tapos madalaa nakakancel yung movie pag may halong pinoy. Nice videp sir.
I love the Philippines 🇵🇭.
First time I've watched it and I love the humor. Like and subscribed!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Ian! 😊👍
A quote once been said " master your weapon and you'll be deadly".
Omg i have goose bumps while watching this! More! History sir!
Will do! 👍
Great story. I had no idea there actually a plane called the pea shooter. It's a very old American word for a small gun.
This is GREAT! My wife is from the Philippines, and I love WWII history especially the air war. I have a 1/48 scale model of a P-26 Peashooter with PAF markings. I need to find it and build it. It's Hobbycraft, I think.
You can not get more bad a$$ than that, Captain Jesús Antonio Villamor, you are what legends are made from!
Despite the Peashooter's inferiority, Villamor and his men stood up against the Japanese Zeroes, such brave men
On record, the last 2 Zeroes were declared shared with Lt. Basa, Hell Each had ONE .30 cal and One .50 Cal machineguns. The Zeroes had automatic cannons and Machineguns.
No record of Peashooters ever in combat in many literatures.Maybe the GreatGeneral was embarassed his line of first rate fighters were shot on the ground.
@@piosian3037 Hmm, the Chinese also used Peashooters in combat though
Very well made you got those aircraft both U.S. & Japanese on point, Congrats !!
Thanks joevic! 😊
Sana gawan to ng movie, for the pride of our country!

Sadly, Filipinos are obsessive with the bulls*it we called "Romance movies"

I hope you make more videos more frequently! Love them! 😊
Thanks Tj! Next video coming soon. 😊
@@MasidPH Nice!!! 😁👏
Amazing. Lived 20 minutes from Clark and used the airport multiple times. I was at the airport when part of it collapsed in 2018.
Post these videos on different Sub reddits on Reddit. Deserves way more views.
Hey good idea, appreciate the advice. Feel free to share with others you think may be interested in our vids. Glad you enjoyed watching. Thanks Steve!
Our recent acquisitions of Black Hawks and FAs will remind us the Villamor and Basa bloods spilt will not be in vain... Salute to the Aces!
Or you should know O'Hare Airport in Chicago was named for the first American WW II ace on first few days. He got CMH flying a P-40, Villamor did not downing 3 Zeros and a Betty (1 Short for an ace) flying a Peashooter P-26., relic of WW I .
It doesn't matter if it's an outdated plane what matter is how you handle it.
Philippines the only Hispanic-Catholic country in Asia Unique
Timor leste is Catholic but not hispanic
This is pure Filipino skill, it's more accurate then Infographic show
"America vs The rest of the world" was the last time for me.
Infographic can be idiotic sometimes and even tell unnecessary stories about himself/themselves.
@@pongangelo2048 yeah so many propaganda for the us
Whats cool is that there is the same plane with the same camo and decal in War Thunder.
the p26 a 35 our first fighter in ww2

Very accurate models and everything Great job you did your research well
Thanks Nicolas! 😊
At the start of WW II, The Zero was among the best. Sacrificed armor and self sealing gas tanks for speed and maneuverability. It was not until the US got the P-38 and P-51 then the tide had turned.
Actually, it was not just the P-38 and P-51, but also the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair
@@RedditzGG Did not have room to mention all. They really turned the tables. One great plane too was the P-47 and many more. The Japanese did not have Tony, Oscar and others until too late. Even copies of Me 262 Japanese version, were too late.

i never thought my country had an air force in ww2, i thought we heavily relied on the allies to help us when it comes to air units
P-40's and B-17 were neatly lined up in the runways when they were strafed and left burning. Phil AAC had a few relics even at that time, Boeing Peashooters.. The great General had 12 hour notice.
