    Just wanted to say that my late father was a WW2 fighter pilot with the 78th Fighter Squadron based in Duxford. He first flew P-47 Thunderbolt during the first part of the war. Then flew the P-51 Mustang toward the end. Afterwards he and his fellow pilots were transferred to Guam to help fight the Japanese which never happened since it was over soon after they arrived. My Dad liked the P-47 better because he felt much safer while flying and hunting for the Luftwaffe than he did in the Mustang. He told me a time or two that flying the Thunderbolt was like being in an armored truck and very difficult to shoot down due to its thick metal plating and very thick canopy while in comparison it was like flying a sports car in the P-51. Although it was fast and agile, it didn't take much to shoot it down unfortunately due to its lighter plating. I like both planes and others from WW2 but I get a real thrill and a chill down my spine each and every time I see a P-47 fly as it's all too rare. I'm not ashamed to say that I also shed a tear or two for my Dad, Captain Ivan H. Keatley (his rank during WW2)as I can imagine him still flying those Jugs if only in spirit. Rest In Peace, Dad. You earned it and Keep 'em Flying!

    My grandfather was a B17 pilot during WWII, he flew bombing missions over Germany and dropped bombs on Normandy before the D-Day invasion. He died this past November at the age of 100 years old. Seeing a beautifully restored B17 like that always gives me goosebumps. It’s like a time machine to me, it makes me think about all the stories he told me about that time in his life. I often think of what it must have been like to be as young as he was and having the responsibility of flying that huge plane and the lives of his crew members. They really were the greatest generation.

    • @donm6798

      My dad was a B-17 pilot also. The mighty 8th 401st bomb group out of Ducksford England. At 21yrs old, he was the oldest crew member. Most 21yr olds today can't even make it to work on time. I simply cant imagine the courage and commitment it took to do what they or any war vet in that era had to do.

      @johnbasiglone1219 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      i disagree. Why are they any better than all the prior generations.
      Both Yamamoto and most of the German generals knew the war was over when America entered WWII. Once the U.S. got onto a war footing, which it already was prior to Pearl Harbor, there was no stopping the Allied steamroller.
      The German Army and Luftwaffe was a shell of itself when the Allies landed on Normandy. The best of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS was ground down in a horrible war of attrition on the Russian Steps.
      Germany and Japan had no chance against the industrial juggernaut and resources of the United States and the Allied manpower was overwhelming. Britain had some great R&D minds and excellent intelligence.
      Both Germany and Japan had AWFUL military intelligence. The Allies knew just about every move of the Axis and the Axis forces had no clue. Also, both Germany snd Japan were being led ny lunatics. Germany had some great generals and damn good officers and troops. But Hitler and his inner circle were way behind the power-curve.
      After Midway, the Japanese were 'dead men walking'. They were hell of great warriors, but were outgunned and outnumbered.
      There was nothing so extra ordinary about the WWII generation. Who were the parents of my generation, the 'Boomers', who in turn raised the following generations and have us in the mess we have today.
      Just because a 250 pound heavyweight fighter beats up on a 120 underfed lightweight, it does not make the heavy weight the best fighter ever. Remember, your 'greatest generation' gave us the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam and the dirty wars and coups of the CIA through South America, Central America and assorted ops in Europe. Lest we forget JFK, RFK and MLK assassinations.

      With all due respect, most pilots simply died. Flew to Germany and got shot out of the sky. How many missions was average? Those times were not "great" at all. Entire countries turned into murderers. That is called war.
      Your grandfather was just a lucky bastard, or a good pilot. Both I guess.

    First off, I was introduced to your video through You Tube random selection, as I like to view older warplanes. I must also tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed watching those Dakotas flying in tandem with that magnificent B-17! Brought back a lot of memories from my youth. My mother was from England, in the ATS, and my father was a medic in the US Army and they got married in London on May 9th, 1945. They both loved to go to airshows, both in the US and in Europe, as we were stationed in France (Orleans), Germany (Karlsruhe) and England twice, as my Dad was an Army liaison to two different US Air force bases there. I got to have a great appreciation for these older warplanes, and I don't even have to look up when a P-51 passes overhead; I just know what went by! Thank you, sir, for the memories! God bless you and yours! PS: I have subscribed to your site and look forward to more!

    I live out by the AF Academy in Colorado. people don't really get it, when you're got multiple planes in the air, combined with the noise, and the excitement of filming- not to mention looking through a small eyepiece, not taking in the entire sky, it is NOT easy to catch something that subtle, in the "moment". The fact you have it on film happening, was pretty crazy to see- because those B-17's are just awesome to watch.
    We have all kinds of "Air Shows" that happen over the Academy, especially during graduation ceremonies- My favorite one I've seen so far, were F-35's doing their thing.
    Great job on the filming- albeit a bit too much "zoom" blurring for my old eyes- but easy nuff to look past.
    Thanks for posting this. And took your suggestion, subscribed. For times I may not be able to find anything fun to watch.

    Thank you for sharing about your dad. Mine flew 120 missions in P 47C s and Ds. Seven sorties on D-Day, starting at 0300 and coming home in the dark. Then into airfields in France, which were usually captured fields right behind the Allied lines. Most of their work was to disrupt Germans supply lines, trains trucks etc. which meant a lot of very low altitude flight. He wrote a letter home to my mother saying that one of his buddies kept coming home with mud on his propeller tip. I believe a P 47D has a 13 foot propeller. He was shot down twice by enemy ground fire, once behind the German lines. An infantry squad saw his plane go in, pushed forward 100 yards against heavy fire and pulled him from the wreck. Then they scampered back to their own lines. They all got pretty drunk at an impromptu party that night, and the grunts presented him with a plaque. If you look at a photo of a P 47, on the port side of the aircraft just Forward of the cockpit you will see a quick release 12“ x 18“ cover where you check the oil. In my dad‘s squadron, the pilots name was written on that cover. Because when you brought an aircraft back full of holes, The ground crews could switch the cover to a new aircraft and you could fly the next mission while they got your old plane patched up. The “plaque “that the infantry guys gave him was that quick release cover with his name written on it hand painted in red. He was killed in a freak accident the day before he was to be discharged from the service. And the plaque hangs in my front hall where I see it every day on my way out the door to be a docent on the USS hornet in Alameda California. Come visit me Sydney, on the ship, if you want to see some great World War II history.

      I like the story about swapping the plate to effectively tag the plane for the pilot. I'm so very sorry your father's life was stolen randomly while due to head home after his service. It truly does prove that any one of us can be taken away for anything and at any moment, considering your father survived his entire deployment. That's still a great feat that he owns though and by no means does that accident steal from what he accomplished.

      I used to live near Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, and the CAF has a B17 stationed there called Sentimental Journey. They would fly her over the Superstition Mountains several times a year and lots of times I would be out in the back yard BBQ'ing for my family when they flew her over. Usually accompanied by a Beech 18 plane set up for photography, also owned by the CAF. She was always so graceful in the sky!
      One night I saw a twin engined aircraft that had just taken off and flew right over my car , flying away from me. At first I thought it was a DC3, but it just didn't look right. Then it turned and I could see that it was a HE 111. A few weeks later it crashed and the worlds only flying example was gone. Very sad, but it to was graceful in the air. Not as grand as the B17, but it was incredible to see it flying. Years later I saw a B24 headed in for a landing at Williams Gateway. It was turning to line up for a landing and the fueselage was so deep that I could only see the left main landing gear. I kind of freaked out but then it leveled out and I could see both gear were down. I'd hate to see it crash!

      I am 92. As an ATC cadet in 1944, I had a contact with the 306 BG based at Thurleigh. I was fortunate enough to wangle the two flights in a B17, going for new engine test, sat in the Bombardier's seat, 10 minutes duration, new engine caught fire, urgent return! 2nd flight was unusual, low level practice over S England, again in B's seat. 3 hrs. Memorable!!!.

    10:38 It's almost as if the Mustang pilots were surprised by their closing rate on the B-17.
    The right-hand Mustang essentially lost altitude during the hard-over.
    I'm probably wrong, though.

      From the accident report: "The pilots had briefed and agreed that the lead P-51 would join on the B-17’s right side and the other on its left side. However, during the display both pilots tried to join on the B-17’s right, resulting in the two P-51s colliding.”

    DC-3, Dakota, Daisy or whatever you call it, is one of the most beautiful aircarft ever made. I've made a skydive out from one at 2000 feet, great aircraft!

    This.video popped up on TH-cam. As to how I came around to view it I watch other aviation videos and this one just popped up. Good show. Glad no one was hurt.

    Negative inertia from downward pressure most likely caused a -3 degree or more drop in fixed wing vertical fold. This can cause a stage 2 mass thermalturbine failure....
    I have no idea what i am talking about....

      Sadly, mid air collisions are not unusual at Duxford air shows.

    • @jimdandy4793
      @jimdandy4793 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ummmmmm.... a clogged ventrical tube from Flux Capacitor to surface of the aircraft would give an incorrect pressure reading which would cause the thermal turbine to incorrectly provide altitude therefore causing the system to over heat.

    Nice footage and nice camera and zoom. Not sure why so many dislikes, people have the attention span of a goldfish these days. Anyway, glad pilot is ok, that was close.

    That is a seriously good video camera. I found this video simply by it showing up on the options/suggestions screen after a video I had just posted; subject not related in the slightest. Vis-à-vis the collision: I thought the first time, when the Mustangs crossed over each other: was that it? Only by reading your commentary and rewatching did I catch the impact: it was so slow and smooth, almost like it didn't happen. Only a terrifically HD camera like yours makes the damage easy to see. Excellent work!

    I think youtube suggested your video as I watched a video about crashes the other day. Great footage though! I haven't seen WWII planes in action since I was at a air show as a kid in the late 90's, though I wish I could find footage of it as they did mock bombing runs with a B-25 complete with timed pyrotechnics. They sure don't do shows like that anymore. Thanks for the footage. Glad to know he made a safe landing!

    Enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing. Might I make a suggestion to invest in a Neutral Density filter for your lens? This will allow you to get your shutter speed down, and eliminate the rather odd-looking “slow motion” propellor effect.
