    My favourite story about Bader is the time he visited a school to give a talk about his experiences as part of a history lesson. He said, "So there I was, three fuckers above me and one fucker below me." The teacher paled and said, "Children, the Focker was a German fighter plane" and Bader responded, "I know Ma'am, but these fuckers were in Messerschmitts."

    Also check out about Soviet pilot Aleksey Maresyev, who has been shot down in WWII and been making his way through snowy forest and swamps crawling, had gangrene and nearly died, but after double amputation he recovered and returned back to air forces, where he took down seven German aircrafts, making ten planes total. After the war he became a Ph.D. in history, wrote several books, and there was a book written about him called "The Story of a Real Man" and the opera with the same name.

    Your videos are getting better and better! I commented about how I liked your Turing video for your guys' first experimentation into a video with a slightly more serious tone, but this video is just as great.
    You guys are getting more and more skilled at being able to tell a story with a lot of good feels and emotions, while still able to give us a happy laugh, and it shows in every new piece of work.
    If only there was a way I could like every one of your videos 10 times over!
    Edit as an afterthought: dont worry about deadlines or such at all please, like a lot of TH-cam channels do. You're already amazing as is, just make sure you put care into your videos and have at least as much fun making them as we do watching them

    As a life-long advocate for disabled rights, I often use Bader as an example of how sheer determination can overcome virtually anything. In fact, Bader used his "disability" to his advantage and became a superior pilot to those with 2 legs. He should be an example to all of us for his unbridled courage and perseverance.

    3 hours late, but IMO, it looks like a lot more better than that made by Simple History. It's simpler and even more visually appealing. Even the narration is more neat.
    Hell, I even heard of him. You don't always need legs to fly. You have your wing. And with his legs gone, it proved to be more a benefit to him as he no longer had to worry about blackouts, a condition where his head lacks blood, and redout, head having too much blood (exactly vice versa.) And while I am not bodily disabled yet I am quite mentally disabled, it proves that even those who don't have what or have more than others have can do remarkable things.
    Hell, Douglas Bader befriending an enemy... That's true respect of Adolf Galland of treating disabled people with care, even attending his funeral and visiting his spirit. I am not religious and not aetheist, but souls of unique people live on forever.

    I read Reach For The Sky when I was a youngster and loved it! I also read Biggles a bit and remember once in WWI when he had dental work done and his doctor was complaining when he got into his plane that he shouldn't be flying and he barked back, "I don't fly with my teeth!!!" and took off!
    I don't remember if that was before or after Algy's Germaniums were bombed or not! ;-)

    One of my favorite parts about Bader is that he joined the Commemorative Air Force out of Harlingen Texas, what was essentially a ragtag group of Texans with warbirds who put on a bunch of air shows. He learned about them during the filming of the Battle of Britain and was a surprisingly not too uncommon of a sight to see at CAF events, of course, he didn’t have to pay a fee to get in. He, Galland, and Robert Stanford Tuck were all members of the CAF, there is some old footage of the three together at Airsho 80. Hilariously enough, Prince Phillip was also a member of the CAF, the person who present Phillip with his wings and certificate was Sor Douglas Bader. Best part, there is an image out there of Bader in one of the Grey cowboy hats the CAF used to have as part of its “uniform”.

    I think the RAF needed him back as there was a shortage of decent pilots, also he could pull off maneuvers other pilots couldn't without blacking out due to not having the blood run to his legs. He also helped develop the idea of the 'Big Wing' defense strategy.
    The idea for the dumping of the earth from the tunnel in the great escape outside came from Doug Bader and his leg then.

    The quality of the animations is great! There was another WW2 fighter ace who didn't have legs, I don't remember his name though. I know that he was a Russian fighter and I'm pretty sure he flew a La-5.

      It was Aleksey Maresyev. His amazing story is described in a book “A story about a real man” by Boris Polevoi.

    • @nicksykes4575
      @nicksykes4575 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      In addition to Aleksey Maresyev, there was Leonid Belousov and Zakhar Sorokin from the USSR. there was also another RAF pilot by the name of Colin Hodgkinson. check them out on wiki or google.

    You see, disabled people aren't worse than us,they can be better than a lot of people. If you have a disabled friend , treat him like an ace or a commander, because, sometimes, they really are

    • @Quincy_Morris

      Disabled people are at a disadvantage. Which is why stories like this are so inspiring.
