Radial engines require several revolutions with the magneto off to clear the lower cylinders of accumulated oil. If not, hydraulic lock could bend a rod or blow the head off the cylinder.
The in-lines (Mustang, Spitfire) sound smooth - like you'd be surprised when the planes they're in hurt you. The radials (Thunderbolt, Corsair, 190) sound like pure brute force that let you know exactly what's about to happen.
MarsFKA You‘re right! Hardy was down there with a head like a lobster and James started the arrogance out of Krugers arian head :-)) yeah, my old brain :-)
There are so many of these planes that each has it's own beauty. It's hard to say that one is my favorite. The F4U Corsair is beautiful as it unfolds its wings and turns itself into an airplane. The radial engine is wonderful as it roars to life, but the scream of P51 as it descends downwind across the runway is intoxicating. Each of these planes were designed by different individuals, teams, and companies. They held to different philosophies and were conceived at different times. Our ability to decode the enemy's weaknesses and develop tactics that worked against them were just as important as what we were flying. And fighters that had the range to stay with our bombers were an important quality. A superior fighter without the range is useless for protecting bombers. So while I can't commit to one airplane, they were all important and helped us win the war. It's so nice to see these still flying.
the engine technology was amazing for that time...some of the things invented back then are still used today in cars... roller rocker arms, turbo / super chargers, sodium filled exhaust valves, alcohol / water injection .. that all goes back to this time and was invented for the Warbird engines
Everyone fawns over the buttery smooth sound of a RR Merlin and I do appreciate their sound, but what really gets me going are the radical pops from a big radial like a Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclone or a BMW 801.
He had a few breaks they were all cut from the video. This was her first start up in 17 years and he accidentally flooded the engine has the mixture control wasn't marked and he had no idea how much mixture the fuel had. He has many different ww2 and 1 aircraft that he has rebuilt to accurate levels of detail and mostly rebuilds them in the same way they were built back in the day. This dude is by no means a novice when it comes to aircraft of that era. He just made a simple mistake. You should check out his channel, Sikorsky's son even came to visit him, yes the dude that made the old helicopters.
considering that this dude has access to ww2 planes and there's a wise asian looking over I'm pretty sure he has good knowledge on planes and their engines...but an internet expert like you must know better
Man, i dont know what is is but these old Warbirds never fail to tear me up. Technology has come a long ways since ww2 obviously but a formation of modern fighter jets flying by is nowhere near as impressive of a sight as a formation of low flying Warbirds roaring by.
There is nothing like the sound of the Pratt and Whitney R-2800, from idle to full power. And it seems kind of strange to me, it sounds amazing on the P47 and the Hellcat... but some how it was soooo much more epic on the Corsair. The moment the Corsair started up, it felt like it was beating me in the chest when I was about 50 yards from it. Then to hear it rumble overhead at full power and could STILL feel it beating my chest.... So glorious! Maybe it has to do with the way the exhaust is routed, but I do know, it is forever seared into my memory.
A lot of people say the Focke Wulf 190 is an ugly plane but it's one of my favorite war birds. Never saw a working TBM before. Thanks for posting. I would give anything for a ride in anyone of those beautiful machines. So grateful to the ones who keep em' up and running.
I once saw a Vought Corsair up in the air, and so wished it would make another pass above me. I waved and the pilot made a wing "hello" and made another pass over me. That was sublime.
5 propellers..gotta love American muscle, wrapped around an 18 cylinder bomber engine..Mustang s and Spitfires got the Glory..Thunderbolts got you home!
@@Carstuff111 i believe it comes down to the shapes of the intake & exhaust systems, the prop profile # blade count, and the sound profile of the planes in general. Having front facing intake tubes in particular seems to make the biggest difference. Tis why the mustang had a similar screaming sound. Big gaping intake on the bottom front haha. Cheers. :)
Rider Strano I here you, lol my first car back in the highschool in the late 90s was an old ratty 1980 Mustang, with a fire breathing 2.3 4 banger with like 85 horses, lol but it was all mine and loved it. was in Georgia so never got negative 10 but it was dam impossible to start that first cold start even in the 50s, id have to leave 20 minutes early to get it started it would die like 15 times before it got warm enough to idle then you have to let it warm up a few minutes or itd die when you put it in gear, after the first start itd be fine and start right up for the rest of the day strangely. Thanks for posting that brought back a flood of funny teenage memories. lol
@@drumking241 Glad I could help, I'm an 18 (soon to be 19) year old living in southern New England, so I've heard my fair share of groggy cars and engines. one of my favs was when the fire boat I volunteer with had an airbound fuel line, and the WHOLE engineering dept spent about 4 hours trying to figure it out. the problem was finally resolved when we called the boat's (~85 y/o) old chief engineer and he talked us through it on the phone!
Was actually a day or two before he got it started. he accidentally flooded the engine as the mixture control quadrant wasn't labelled and he didn't know the right mixture for idle as he hadn't started her in 17 years.
Amazing how 70-80+ years ago in ww2 how these were state of the art and now they are dinosaurs compared to todays aircraft lol. These aircraft helped win the day back then and now just a piece of history, impressive piece of history I might add.
Klank Fan Club The same can be said for your mobile phone which is made obsolete every 12 months and your computer every 18 months. Just look at the aircraft in 1939 and compare them to those of 1945 and how much they advanced in five years
its pretty cool when the camera speed almost matches the prop rotation. Shotgun shell starts are cool. The flames when they give the engine a hit from the ether bottle is fun.
My God the size of the freaking 15 foot prop on that Corsair and then you see the cute little Tri blade prop on a wildcat it's like how did it even fly with that thing
Everyone talking about the Spitfire. The 190 REALLY didnt want to get out of bed! Looked like it was gonna start multiple times and quit all of them but the last!
Piston engines are an amazing concept when you consider that they are based on tiny explosions contained within a cylinder that are capable of driving a massive crankshaft.
My Dad recalled watching a Zero hammering away again and again at a Hurricane low down in the valleys of the Burma campaign. When the Hurricane got behind the Zero, a single burst sent it crashing into the jungle. Survivability was, obviously not the Zero's strong point!!
Interesting video, I would question the validity of some of the nations of "primary users" . Its true the US had 'some' Spitfires but very minor compared to other similar types. The Royal Canadian Navy operated more Seafires than Hellcats etc. As for the reluctant Spitfire, if you watch the original video, even after servicing to wake up after 16 years of sitting, Mr Weeks stated there were fuel delivery problem to see to.
The videos dont do these mighty enginees justice. Especially the rumbling radials. These engines dont putter and spit like a nippy little 1-2 cylinder model T or A. These are *War Engines.* And they sound like it. They *growl.* with booming noise. They rumble the ground and air around them. Even at Idle power, they sound like a loud angry purr, like a predator waking up, ready to spill blood. Even the puny zero. Is a decent sounding engine. Although the mighty R-2800 on the Corsair puts it to shame. If you havent seen or heard these beauties in person, you are doing yourself a great disservice. Go *out of your way* to see and hear these wonderful planes as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I _promise_ you won't regret it.
7:39 Type 0 carrier-based fighter 52 aka Zero Fighter The format is A6M5 The installed engine is "Sakae San Ikko" Manufactured at the Koizumi factory of Nakajima Aircraft around March 1944. The production number is 5357 The assignment of this aircraft belonged to the former Imperial Japanese Navy 261 Naval Air Corps. After passing through "Iwo Jima", he was assigned with the 261st Naval Air Corps to defend Saipan Island. On June 15, 1944, the Battle of Saipan broke out. Four days later, the Saipan No. 1 base where the unit was deployed fell into the hands of the US military, and 24 Zero Fighters, including this machine, were recovered. The paint at the time of recovery was camouflage paint After the US military's technical research was completed, all Zero fighters owned were sold to the private sector. This aircraft was acquired by Edward T. Maloney, founder of the Planes of Fame Air Museum. It has been repainted several times during restoration and is now painted by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Although it is called the Chinese Air Force, it is actually five Zero Fighters captured by the Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force and is not in operation. The operational country officially used in the war was the Indonesian independence guerrilla During the Indonesian War of Independence that broke out in 1945, independent guerrillas captured a Zero Fighter and fought against the Dutch army. Anyway, zero is the pride of us Japanese.
Hm. Guess you’re right. And I’ve seen Squadrons fly by on Memorial Day in groups of 4 or 5. It’s truly something to behold, and you can hear them for miles!
It was the first time starting of this engine after a complete overhaul & the owner(in the cockpit) was being very cautious as he didn't want to damage it! Later on in the video that this clip was taken from the engine is shown starting & running beautifully! It's a shame FUELHEAD HD did not show this! Also this clip is actually two mixed up!! In the middle it switches to a clip of Kermit Weeks trying to start his Spitfire that hadn't run for awhile!! This is the one that actually started!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 and that's where you are wrong. For a start the p51 literally has the same heart,and spitfires had many different mrks. It was a air superiority fighter hence it's very limited range,that's pretty much where the similarities stop,because they are two different aircrafts designed for different objectives.
Interestingly the P-51 originally came about as a response from the RAF for a new fighter design. Initially powered with a pratt and Whitney engine it was under powered until it was equipped with a Rolls Royce Merlin. So all you P-51 fans can thank the Royal Air Force.
The P-47 Thunderbolt is just an absolute beast….didn’t have the greatest range as an heavy bomber escort but it brought hell upon the German ground forces.

The videos dont do these mighty enginees justice. Especially the rumbling radials.
These engines dont putter and spit like a nippy little 1-2 cylinder model T or A.
These are *War Engines.* And they sound like it.
They *growl.* with booming noise. They rumble the ground and air around them. Even at Idle power, they sound like a loud angry purr, like a predator waking up, ready to spill blood.
Even the puny zero. Is a decent sounding engine. Although the mighty R-2800 on the Corsair puts it to shame.
If you havent seen or heard these beauties in person, you are doing yourself a great disservice.
Go *out of your way* to see and hear these wonderful planes as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I _promise_ you won't regret it.
Bet that starter motor is hot
P-51 Mustang, beautiful machine right down to the sound of the magnificent Merlin engine.
6:15 The Sound Of Democracy Coming

Type 0 carrier-based fighter 52
aka Zero Fighter
The format is A6M5
The installed engine is "Sakae San Ikko"
Manufactured at the Koizumi factory of Nakajima Aircraft around March 1944.
The production number is 5357
The assignment of this aircraft belonged to the former Imperial Japanese Navy 261 Naval Air Corps.
After passing through "Iwo Jima", he was assigned with the 261st Naval Air Corps to defend Saipan Island.
On June 15, 1944, the Battle of Saipan broke out. Four days later, the Saipan No. 1 base where the unit was deployed fell into the hands of the US military, and 24 Zero Fighters, including this machine, were recovered.
The paint at the time of recovery was camouflage paint
After the US military's technical research was completed, all Zero fighters owned were sold to the private sector.
This aircraft was acquired by Edward T. Maloney, founder of the Planes of Fame Air Museum.
It has been repainted several times during restoration and is now painted by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Although it is called the Chinese Air Force, it is actually five Zero Fighters captured by the Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force and is not in operation.
The operational country officially used in the war was the Indonesian independence guerrilla
During the Indonesian War of Independence that broke out in 1945, independent guerrillas captured a Zero Fighter and fought against the Dutch army.
Anyway, zero is the pride of us Japanese.
The Zero is my favorite war plane
The P51D will always be my favorite plane . Her sister twin Engine Mustàng and the P38 Lightning.
2:13 pretty sure the propeller is lagging
The crackle, pop and growling of all these engines is just delightful. Imagine what these beasts sounded like in their prime!
I mean they are in their prime...they've pretty much all been rebuilt/restored. But a squadron of them would be quite something.
Hm. Guess you’re right. And I’ve seen Squadrons fly by on Memorial Day in groups of 4 or 5. It’s truly something to behold, and you can hear them for miles!
This is my kind of ASMR.
What a majestic machines...
spitfire at the begining video have some problems with start
It was the first time starting of this engine after a complete overhaul & the owner(in the cockpit) was being very cautious as he didn't want to damage it! Later on in the video that this clip was taken from the engine is shown starting & running beautifully! It's a shame FUELHEAD HD did not show this! Also this clip is actually two mixed up!! In the middle it switches to a clip of Kermit Weeks trying to start his Spitfire that hadn't run for awhile!! This is the one that actually started!
Sad little spitfire ):
The wildcat looked old and beat up but for the engine to start that well I am impressed
P51 mustang is basically the spitfire of America
Cambs TV had NOTHING at all to do with the shitfire !!!! Mustang was a more modern simplified plane !!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 and that's where you are wrong. For a start the p51 literally has the same heart,and spitfires had many different mrks. It was a air superiority fighter hence it's very limited range,that's pretty much where the similarities stop,because they are two different aircrafts designed for different objectives.
Interestingly the P-51 originally came about as a response from the RAF for a new fighter design. Initially powered with a pratt and Whitney engine it was under powered until it was equipped with a Rolls Royce Merlin. So all you P-51 fans can thank the Royal Air Force.
Tess Tickle exactly the p51 was designed for long range and fast speeds
@@shawnhierlihy3690 P51 had never a Pratt and Whitney but a Allison engine!
The P-47 Thunderbolt is just an absolute beast….didn’t have the greatest range as an heavy bomber escort but it brought hell upon the German ground forces.
Rip spliffire
