Military Aviation History
Hello
How is your comment a hour old?
Had confirmation that mine will be printed once the order is closed - looking fwd to it :)
Great, thanks for supporting!
Just ordered a t-shirts of an F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jet and I’m broke 22 Days Before Christmas, See on my ninth birthday in 1964 my Dad brought me to work with him at Niagara Falls Air Force Base (he was civil service shipping and receiving) I was bouncing on a trampoline in the Shipping Warehouse and Dad said I’m having too much fun and I need to go outside and run around but just don’t get run over by a Fighter Jet.
So I went to the Base Gym and I’m working out on the equipment when this guy walks in and asked me if I was an Air Force Brat
I replied No My Dad works Civil Service at Shipping and Receiving.
He asked me my Dad’s name and I told him “Walt Orzolick”
He replied I know him, then he asked me if I wanted to go for a ride with Him
I asked him where was he going to take me ?
He replied that he had to go on a mission, he was a pilot and he was going to take me for a ride in his F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jet!!!!
My eyes popped out of my head and said Sure I would Love to
Next thing I know he has his crew get me the smaller flight suit they could find and had me put it on and after they folded up the pants legs and arm sleeves they helped me up the ladder into the rear Navigator Seat and strapped me in and put the Flight Helmet and Oxygen Mask On me and off he took me. I’ll never ever Forget that Birthday Gift, well years later Easter 1980 I’m working at Niagara University I’m on the 8th Floor Of OSHA Dormitory and there were two large explosions and the Dorm Building shook real bad to the point I could see daylight between the cement blocks of the outside walls, my bosses drove to the smoke and flames and when they returned they were both white as ghost, saying the Air Force Police showed up and ordered them out of the area and to go back to work, they told us that both the pilot and navigator were in the trees and they were both dead and thier helmets were away from the bodies with thier heads still in the helmets.
It was reported that one of the Base’s Two F-101 VooDoo Fighter Jets had Problems and the pilot and navigator stayed with the jet to prevent it from crashing in a populated area and both were decapitated and Died.
Guess I’ll never know if it was the guy that took me for that ride some 16 years ago. RIP too Both of You. And if it was the same Jet I got to go for that Epic Ride so Long Ago
Thank You
AMEN
Then in the Early 1990’s My Kid Brother was Stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Base and My Dad & I went there to visit him and his Family and every time we went to the Air Force Museum (been there Three Times) and every time there was more and more to See, Yes I got to See a ME-262 and all kinds of Historical Planes and Jets and Experimental Space Crafts
It’s a Must Go To Place for Sure !!!!
In my area at Niagara Falls International Air Port is a small Airplane Museum I’m looking for some things to bring there to put on display, from the Days my dad worked at NiagaraFalls AirForce Base, Pictures and WWII Equipment and the Training Book My Dad had to go to Aberdeen Proving Grounds to learn how to Packup and Ship Out the Nuclear War Heads for the Missile Base That was There in the 1950’s & 1960’s
Yup Dear Old Dad Had Shipped Them Off the Base To an Unknown Location
RIP Dad and Thank You for Being the Best Dad I could have ever known
Who needs regular TV, when people like Bismark produce such interesting and compelling historical documentaries. Better sourced, and more immediate than the dross the media produce.
TV programmes are made for adverts not for quality viewing. Andy England 🇬🇧👍
What is a TV?
@@igorjee it's a trans vestite. Andy England 🇬🇧🤣
@@andrewdaley3081 Thank you sir. Now my brain is replete with knowledge.
@@igorjee ask stupid questions get stupid answers. Andy England 🇬🇧
Man, the passion in your voice is contagious, cant wait for part 2
YES! I haven’t watched the full thing yet, but I know this is going to be another great video
Bismarck: the aviation enthusiast's chieftain
Bismarck, I think you will be impressed by the condition of the Me 262, M 163 and Bf109 held in the Australian War Memorial. They are unique in that they are in original condition. This is particularly evident with the 109, which still has the grease hand marks from the mechanics who must of worked on it before capture.
Thanks so much for these videos mate. They are amazing, just like your passion for your topic.
Saw these when I was there years ago!
Agreed, the 262 in AWM isn't pretty but the original paint is on it, the 109 is great. I just wish we could walk around them.
Shame about the 163 'restoration'!
This was the best documentary on the Me 262 that I have ever seen. Nicely done, sir.
Cheers Paul, very happy to hear it
@@MilitaryAviationHistory The first kill wasn't a Mosquito, it was hit and the pilot believed it went down, but it didn't it evaded in cloud cover and made it back to base. The first Me 262 kill was a B-17.
My great uncle was Alfred Ambs, a Jet ace during WW2 in JG7. I love learning about the jet he flew, it’s just amazing to learn about this part of history, which was a major milestone. Also, I had a friend visit this museum just a few weeks ago, which I find a funny coincidence, love the video dude!
The ME262 has to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built, it just looks right with beautiful proportions.
It always amazed me that they were able to get these things in the air at all considering how bleeding edge the engine technology was at the time. As strapped as Germany was for resources (especially some of the more exotic ones required for the engines), these aircraft were miracles of German Engineering. And slave labor, so there's that angle too. :/
Thanks for the awesome video, looking forward to part 2!
Bleeding edge?
@@AudieHolland Indeed. "Occupation: Test Pilot" doesn't look good on your life insurance application...
@@AudieHolland cutting edge is a bleeding edge, que no?
@@williamkeith8944 No. I wouldn't use a blade that started bleeding all by itself.
Magicians use such things but then the blade is dull and can be pushed inside while it squirts ketchup.
AudieHolland
I can think of neurological & brain stem cell implantation as a very real positive applicative cutting edge technology!
The enthusiasm you have throughout the video is fantastic, and each video gets even better!
On the ME262, such a great aircraft, but it's crazy that it actually flew...
Are there any reports from pilots who flew it? What were their thoughts, especially in comparison with the normal piston aircraft?
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. There are quite a few reports, mainly complimentary of the plane but with caveats attached.
"As if angels were pushing" if i recall correctly
@Persona non grata Think he said " It was like the Angel's were pushing"
@@jamesjack6769 The angels weren't on the same side as nazi germany.
@@SpaceGhost1701 the angels weren't on anybody's side. The heavenly host don't care about mankind or their stupid shenanigans!
Huge thanks for yet another excellent video - this one is truly outstanding, and huge thanks also to the museum for helping to make this possible.
Loved this episode, the production quality is getting better and better.
Excellent. Thanks for addressing the myth that Hitler single handedly delayed the 262. Nice video work, we could really see a lot of details, like the wooden rocket racks.
I am big fan of your content, sir!
Um, the first German jet flew three weeks before the start of WWII. Yet the first German jet would not be flown in combat until 1944....some 39 months later. Because, the German industrial machine was medieval in nature under Hitler. Forced to compete against one another for military contracts doled out by the Nazi regime. Such are the failures of a totalitarian state.
I'm delighted to see a young person take such an interest in history.
Your enthusiasm in your telling of the 262's story is infectious. I am so happy you are comprehensive but efficient in your videos. Putting those tripe 44 minute myth peddling "docs" to shame. In just 23 and a half minutes of contextualization of information and myth busting.
Simply another fantastic video Bis, I will be watching Part 2 soon during lunch. I very much look forward to it.
Thanks very much!
Ich bewurdere deine videos! Super Arbeit und du bist sehr sehr sympathisch. Also ich schau deine videos jetzt schon recht lange aber jetzt wollte ich mal meinen Respekt aussprechen. Die ME 262 in Unterschleisheim schau ich mir jedes mal wenn ich da bin minimum 10min an😅
Vielen Dank!
"...they aren't exactly jet science..." -- Oh I just love the tasteful updates to old English idioms 👍
Someone got it. This pleases me :)
Nazis
Wow so much detail in this video. Great work and really interesting. Thanks
Your content is really interesting and well put together... I've recently watched quite a few of your videos and have enjoyed them all.
Thank you! Happy you enjoy them
I have to say the production quality of your filming is documentary level, The camera work, cutting, music (yes he has music now) and dialogue is excellent. It's brilliant to see the level of dedication you are putting into it. I hope that this can start to be recognised by a wider audience, as you truly deserve it.
The 262 is a beautiful looking jet.
Yeah... It was gorgeous! A shark in the sky! Amazingly smooth lines! Just beautiful :-)
Nicely done. It's interesting that they did initially planned to put speed brakes on the plane. I was saying just the other day how much it would have benefited from having them, but did not realize that they had planned on putting them on at some point initially.
What a priceless gem! A shame that the conservation techniques weren't as protective as they might have been but as you say, the context of this historic a/c is being highlighted. A very insightful video, looking fwd to pt 2, thanks.
This was superb. Subscribed. Particularly liked the contextual information concerning the development of the jet engines and the way it affected deployment of the aircraft. I had long suspected that there was a lot more than Hitlers insistence on the aircraft being a bomber to blame for the plane not being deployed sooner, because I had read about how the project started with BMW engines originally being proposed before, and felt that the switch in engines halfway through development would have had just as much to do with holding the project up. Terrific video, thanks again.
Such a great intro. I'm glad your videos have continuously gotten better. The info you share is really good and more importantly, you deserve to make awesome videos.
Thanks Adam
@@MilitaryAviationHistory your welcome, and thanks for the reply.
One of the fastest 23 minutes I’ve had this week! Such a vivid command of the English language and cutting accent of the German dialect in itself is interesting. You have such a vast knowledge and enthusiasm for history and aviation it is incomprehensible your videos could be anything but fascinating. Thank you for your skillful narration and aviation historical intellect. Bravo! From NY, a third generation American with ancestral roots from Germany, Kevin.
Bis, you've become quite the German version of the Chieftain, but with aircraft. Should we call you Der Häuptling now?
Would that then mean that he would be Plane Jesus? After all, Ian of Forgotten Weapons is Gun Jesus, the Chieftain is Tank Jesus, so by that reasoning, Bismark should be Plane Jesus, not to be confused with just plain Jesus.😃
Great information about the Me262 and it's history, given by a well spoken, intelligent young man!
I want to add a little data on the ME-262 (Wilma) that had the the Rheinmetall Bordkanone 5 ( or just BK-5 ) 50 mm autocannon . According to the book American Raiders it was captured after the war by Watson's Whizzers and was Col. Watson's favorite plane. He considered it his personal ride. German civilian pilot Willie Hoffman, who was helping train the American pilots, was ferrying the plane when an engine disintegrated and Hoffman had to bail out ( he was injured and spent weeks in a hospital). Col. Watson was always worried about possible sabotage so he mixed up when German and American pilots would fly each plane. Despite this sabotage was at first suspected but an American mechanic admitted that he failed to do a proper inspection of the engine and turbine blades prior to the flight. The cannon was recovered and resides in the museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton OH to this day. Hoffman was later grabbed by the Russians and spent 10 years as their 'guest' until he was allowed to return to his family in what became West Germany.
Wow, what a unique look on this bird! I love it!
Another awesome video Bismarck! Learnt so much from it, thank you. Such a amazing thought that nations had blueprints for jet engines prior to WW2 but failed to make do with them anytime soon.
The level of quality and attention to detail is sky high. Keep up the good work, cheers! 😊👍
Yo Bismarck, this was an awesome video, good job man. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. You have a future doing this, for sure. I can't wait for part two!
I had never realized how profoundly triangular the fuselage cross-section was til watching this video. Thx!
*This is to me the one of the best Channels about Aviation History*
get addicted ;D
Fantastic work .. I'm loving this series of videos .. keep em coming !
dude youre too good for youtube you should be on tv documentaries
Bro that intro gave me chills, nicely done!
I was at this museum some 6 years ago and saw this plane in the workshop disassembled. Very satisfying visit indeed.
A fantastic video as always, cant wait for pt 2. Glad to see a video on what's probably my 2nd favorite aircraft (first being the Ju87g).
Great commentary. Sehr gut mein fruend.
Excellent video!!!! Great to see someone so young passionate about history and flying!!! Nice job!,,
This channel tickles the aviation-nerd center in my medulla oblongata.
Oh, i was just there last week.
Hey, good for you improving on your look and production. This looks top notch professional
I did not know about the 2-1943 notice that any fighter had to be able to carry bombs. That is quite a big deal when looking at the development and deployment of the 262.
This is the kind of research I like where it shifts the view from the usual assumptions towards new insights.
Excellent video and thanks for sharing this info on this beautiful jet!
Absolutely love your vids! Keep up the good work mate :)
Love your videos!
Excellent presentation. Thanks.
The 262 styling is the E Type Jaguar of aircraft , just simply beautiful in its simplicity , the shark of the skies .
Thanks for setting a few things straight about this aircraft. Eric Melrose ‘Winkle’ Brown, who flew 487 different aircraft types, said that the Me-262 was one of the finest aircraft that he had ever flown, but that he would not have liked to fly one in combat.
When I was a kit I built numerous model kits of the ME 262 and always thought it a lovely design so great to hear some real history of this aircraft. When i first saw the poster frame for this video on you Tube my first impression was of USS Voyager so perhaps the German influence on American space travel goes deeper than we think!
Excellent History on Development of this great aircraft.
Still an iconic, majestic shape ... this shark or triangle like fuselage in the front and wide body and wings.
So Bernard is right above a floor of you and shooting another video!!
Fantastic video. Great work.
I've visited the museum at Schleissheim which started as a much needed over-flow for The Deutsche Museum and now has taken everything. It's also at an airfield site whereas The D.Museum is city centre, München
The ME 262 was there and a delight to see AND touch.
The story we got was not that he defected to Switzerland but took off without command during a sudden skirmish only to find very quickly that he was flying a glider..
She hadn't been refuelled so he had to make an emergency put down over Switzerland. The only strip he could find had American troops present.
That was the end of his career and the ME262.
Amazingly informative. You're good. Real good.
Good stuff! That’s a great museum and I was quite surprised to see the Me262 sitting there when I visited.
For me the leap between the barely flyable initial experimental jets and this incredibly deadly forward thinking craft is somewhat unbelievable.
This man right here deserves way more views and subscribers💯
I saw that ME262 when I was stationed in Munich, they also had a Doriner Arrow, at the time.
Awesome Bismark. More, more!
Wait a minute!!
It turns out it didn't actually down that Mosquito PR.
It did cripple it and it was destroyed but they landed, survived and saved the reconnaissance photos.
If it's the same one you're talking about.
Germans thought they had shot it down. That is what matters,they now believed they had a plane that could reliably engage the Mossie.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory
Oh it could engage it, yes.
And they broke it evading the 262.
They blew out a hatch which crippled the tail.
No idea what would happen Vs an armed Mosquito.
Probably who sees and shoots first.
I've no idea how the turn rates compared, jets aside, 4000+hp and big wings count for a lot.
Could anything match the altitude of the PR mosquitoes apart from the 262? Outside of zoom climbing anyway.
I absolutely love this plane n why I am happy that a couple of new ones were built here in the States..
Thank you for your concise and interesting presentation. The ME262 could have been a game changer. So much technology emerged from Germany in that era. They were miniaturizing electrical circuits way before anyone ie. pencil tubes etc.
There is always 2 versions of history. What they tell you and what really happened.
I have many questions to ask you Herr Bismarck. I'm glad I found this channel. Ich liebe. Guten tag und sow gut.
Interesting video. I love plane history, and the Messerschmitt Me 262 has an interesting story behind it. Because yes, while the jet had mixed results as a fighter-bomber, it was an amazing machine as a bomber interceptor for its time. But yes, the biggest problem the Messerschmitt had, is nobody had flown a jet fighter before in its time, because there was no pressurized cabin in early prototypes, which needed a nose propeller if turbines failed in prototype flights. Furthermore, the Messershmitt's final developments came too late to stop the Allied advance, though a fearsome interceptor against Allied bombers during that time. So overall, I'd agree the Me-262 was a pioneer to the modern jet fighter today, and we wouldn't get to that point without learned the success and failures of this interesting jet for its time.
You finally made it to Schleißheim, awesome! Many other great videos to come, I assume? I only was there myself a couple months ago.
Danke, nice explanation of history.
Such a great presenter of the facts!
Folks you should come and see our original ME262 2-seater nightfighter at the Museum of Military History in Johannesburg, South Africa. Getting in is so cheap it's practically free and during the week you'll probably be one of 3 people in there. But it's a wonderful museum with some beautiful aircraft from WW2. I'm not affiliated. Just astonished that so few people come to see those amazing exhibits.
@Tim Webb It's not even in the top 50.
@Tim Webb Johannesburg is literally less dangerous than St. Louis or New Orleans. So...
@Tim Webb Oh, I see you've bought the absurd white genocide bullshit myth. So I'm not dealing with a person who has any respect of facts.
Your intro starts my google assistant at the end of the intro and guess what it Searches ?
DJ Torben
the jet turbine
The National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio has a 5cm gun for the Me262 on display next to the Me262 they have on display. It's always impressive seeing how big that darn gun is.
Hallo Bismarck, There is a very unique ME262 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It's the only 2 seater night fighter in the world. I was told they only built 18. If you ever get there it would be very interesting. They also have a ME109 and excellent condition FockeWulf 190.
You said it... “of both historical and technological significance.” So glad to see that something developed and produced for the German war effort of WWII was not destroyed like so many other things of that time simply because it was made by the Nazis.
Study some history! German technology was jealously pursued and used postwar. I suggest you look up "Operation Paperclip".
One of the big advantages with the 262 is that it could use poor quality fuel unlike high performance engines used in fighter aircraft which required high octane fuels.
While I previously thought the Swiss ME-109’s was my favourite, now I think this is. Good job! Unfortunately we used to think‘restoring’ was the way to go, now many realize the original paint & body is best.
Excellent video. Thank you 👍
I see Bismark I click like, I see the 262 I go to change my underwear
Great video. The photo at 1:52 is absolutely horrifying, though.
sheesh, those videos do not belong in youtube, value is way to good for that.
Enjoyd it, awesome work
I saw the one at the Pensacola naval air museum(fantastic museum btw). I was struck by the small size compared to more modern jet fighters. Really put in to perspective for me how large the F-4 and F-14 are.
*OMG!!!* The ME 262 is my favorite plane! I love German WWII jets!
Great video. Iconic plane so well presented
Bismarck. Wonderful two part video. You could have been a flight instructor on this aircraft; your walk around and cockpit checkout are professional.
I have a question. Years ago read that toward the end the very end due to resource scarcity, some panels in the fuselage and wings were very thin sheet steel rather than aluminum. Any truth to that?
Also had occasion to ask Chuck Yeager once how he got his Me262; he said he noticed it as his was hedgehopping back from escorting a B-17 raid. It was entering the pattern for its airfield. He said he got behind it while the pilot was obviously engaged in landing, and shot it down almost on the runway. The resultant flak from the airfield defense was fierce.
Keep up the great work; look forward to your videos, Tschuss!
I saw this today at the lonestar Air Museum, much smaller then I thought it would be.
Amazing, great content and learned many things ;)
Thanks for sharing this video on one of my favorite airplanes and you did a great job! Looking forward to see your next post and by the way I just subscribed! Great....
Thanks Paolo, glad you enjoyed it!
I love this series but I keep getting distracted by the kids in the background. I took a class in music editing and feel like you could either apply EQ settings to mute those high pitched noises, or use directional mics placed away from you to record the background noice and use active noice cancelling to get rid of it. I know the second one has problems with extra equipment and noise, but I feel like more work towards cancelling the unpredictable background noice would be really worth it.
Super, ich lass mal ein Abo da
6:00 Aerodynamically not bad. Airflow on the upper and lower wing surface are not even.
It is always better to keep a clean upper surface. These guys understood this !
Nowadays the engines are even mounted on pylons !
How Ironic it landed in Switzerland. That was a marvel of engineering.
And the Swiss took a look at it and decided that it was already too complicated and if they were to build their own version it would end up being even more complicated to the point of being too complicated, even by Swiss standards.
I saw the Me262 at the US air force Museum at WPAFB (near Dayton OH). My father's fighter squadron (52nd Fighter squadron) had a reunion there when I was at Wright Patterson. At the ME262 Several of the group recounted ( My Father, and Freddy Ohr, among them) encountering 3 ME262's on a bomber escort mission. the shot them down or retreated as they were so vastly outnumbered by P51s that they could not gain advantage. All the members of the fighter squadron agreed if they would have had enough Me262s they would have annihilated the escort and the bombers, but they were shot down like a jaguar being defeated by a school o piranha.
The ones that did get to the bombers were quite successful, the explosive cannons absolutely destroyed and as long as the pilot wouldn't try to turn fight, was almost invulnerable
Excellent video 😀
Hi Chris- could you make a short video demonstrating how WW2 Luftwaffe seatbelts function please? Thanks for your consideration.
Your channel deserved more views
Thanks, sharing videos always helps, so if you want, please do :)
Great video. The 262 was tech at it's best at that time, but too little too late. The Americans would wait till it was trying to land then try to shoot it down. There was no way to actually beat it with even our best p51.
Here in my hometown of Seymour Indiana there was an American airforce base. ME262 and Japanese Zeros were taken apart and studied and buried here. It was in an aviation magazine. Evidently some ex veterens were sworn to secrecy but on around their death they admitted to this fact. There was even some digging locally in farmers fields trying to find these oarts, but it was stopped either by the farmer or government.
Had to subscribe.
Danke. Ist wunderbar. Ich nein sprechen duetche. Ich lernen langsom. 😂
Good job. You are getting to be quite the presenter extraordinaire, also, great scriptwriting.
Wow! Bismark is a great presenter! I wonder was the canopy the same as off the FW 190? I was intrigued to hear that the 'mossie' was a thorn in the German's side! was this aircraft in the States, if so was it at Dayton Ohio, or Dulles in Washington?
