Beautiful and scary at the same time. I can just imagine how terrifying it must have been in ww2 to hear enemy planes in the sky above your head. The sound of a bombing squadron with all its supporting fighters.
Who gave this thumbs down?. Pilots risked their lives flying these planes. Show some respect. Most or all of them were 18 or20 yrs old at the time. Could you believe that?. Read history of WW2. Bomber crews were the same age. My Dad was 22 when he was drafted in WW2 , 1942. He joined the Marines. Got out in 1945, at the age of 25. Then he met, and married my Mom.The rest is history. So, please show some respect.
Seeing and hearing these planes scream through the sky, knowing they're well over 80 years old brings a tear to my eye, that there are people out there that respect history and keep these planes in running condition for generations to see. Just beautiful!!
Thank you very much for not mixing music into this vid! The only "music" I wish to hear is the raw sound of these warbird engines! Again thank you for capturing this!
I Love all of the types of war planes that fought for this country and served for this country and every single one who died or didn't die I still love them and every single one of there air shows. Here's a smiley faces.

And some notable people flew P-40's: the top-scoring P-40 ace was Clive Caldwell, who scored more of his kills in P-40's than any other pilot; his comrade in the P-40 squadron in North Africa, Neville Duke, later Hawker's chief test pilot; Dan David, who, as Dan Rowan, later was one of Laugh-In's hosts, and John Gorton, Australia's Prime Minister from 1968-71
nothing comes close to the magic of the sound of a raw & brutal ww2 plane engine so clean, no exhaust no muffler, just a short tube to play the sound of Power
A few years ago a P-51 named " Quicksilver" was based near my home in Maxwelton WV. I could tell by the sound of the engine when it would fly over, and once he did a few dives near my house. Now that was an awesome sound!
Back around 1960, shortly after I started working at the 167 Fighter Squadron, WV ANG, I helped work on a P-51 that belonged to a weather modification company. The pilot did a lot of the maintenance and being an avionics technician (radio repairman back then), I primarily helped him obtain and maintain electronics. He was going to take me for a ride but the day we were supposed to fly the radiator sprung a massive leak during a run up. I sure was disappointed.
Yoohoo Nobody, that's debatable. I love both personally, the sound, the look, of any military aircraft zooming past is awe inspiring. (Had a squad of mirage 2000s fly through a canyon I was skiing in once, won't ever forget it)
Don't forget the sound department! The ear deafening screech of jet planes never sounds as good as the warbling rumble of the piston-engined aircraft of old! ;^)
*There’s NOTHING quite like the sound of the ‘SPITFIRE’ & the ‘Merlin Roll Royce’ engine..! A match made in heaven. She positively whistles along & even her name conjures up in your mind, one of the most iconic, classical WWII images of ALL TIME..!* Thank you..!!! :PEACE:✌🏼🕊❤️😎
I don’t care what anybody says, those P-40’s are by far the sexiest looking plans to ever exist. Spitfires May have had better performance but the P-40s with the Flying Tigers paint scheme is just so iconic and sexy. Loved this video
I had a friend of mine who served in the Army Air core in WW2 who recently at 100 years old, just passed away. We are losing all of our world war 2 veterans. God bless those who have served in our military
I owe my life, and the lives of my descendants to all who served in the great WW2. Including my grandfather, who was a frogman in Underwater Demolition Team 6. Hoorah, Ed Heeter! Thank you for my freedom!
@Kriz Athe1stpOwer Some of the scenes in this video were shot at Omaka, where the only FW190A in the southern hemisphere is based. In 2015 it crashed on landing at the Classic Fighters Omaka air show and went into the hangar for repairs. It was back in the air for this year's CFO at Easter. There weren't, however, any of the aircraft on your (and my) wish list. Pity.
My favorites : P-40 Warhawk (AVG - Flying Tigers FOREVER !!!) and the F4U Corsair(WHISTLING DEATH). Chennault and Greg “Pappy” Boyington and their squadrons, gotta love the history - and I’m Canadian lol
Great video! No unnecessary commentary and even better, no annoying music added. Just the sweet sound of these magnificent planes. I would love to spend an afternoon watching this in person. Thank you for creating and sharing this video.
I am one of the fortunate few that have had a Corsair attack several times and lived to tell the tale. In the 1970s & early 80s I lived in Tallulah, Louisiana where my flying friend Merele Gustafsen owned a T-6 and a Corsair. I once flew his T-6 but that Corsair would return from airshows many weekends where Merele would buzz us at Scott Field straight for our faces passing in front of us just barely 8 feet off the deck at 350+ mph and then pull up abruptly leaving trails off his wingtips as he climbed heavenly in a barrel roll and put the gear down inverted which was his trade mark. The sounds were just undescribable. Trust me, know one would want to be on the receiving end of a Corsair strafing run.
I love all of World war 2 Aircrafts and Bombers. My Father, David was joined RAAF ( Royal Australian Air Force, 159 squadron SEAC ) in Royal Air Force, England. He was flew American made RAF B24 Liberators in Burma. I love it. Beautiful American made B24. I love action battles fights. David's flew about 20 missions plus 5 Top Secrets missions. Thanks for American made.
Most beautiful sounds in the world is classic fighter and bomber planes flying by, especially over a city real low and the windows on a building start to rattle
The Ilmor-Mercedes in the 2000 McLaren is the best sounding engine I have ever heard and I've heard many! Who knows where they might have gone with that design if the FIA had not banned Beryllium which Mario Illien had pioneered the use of in the Ilmor. RIP Paul Morgan
This was really great. I especially enjoyed the Curtis P40 because I had a Testor's U-control model of this airplane as a kid in the 1960s also because I read and learned about Claire Chenault and his Flying Tigers defending the construction of the Burmese Highway prior to the USA entering WW2. The Spitfire produced the best flight sounds to my surprise. I would have expected the Corsair to sound best.
The Mitsubishi Zero was so fragile that even .30 cal machine guns would tear it into pieces. That's the price Jiro Horikoshi has paid in exchange of long range, firepower and maneuverability.
@@herbertbielefelder341 yeah alot of important things that should have like self sealing fuel tank, one bullet straight to the fuel is guaranteed going down to earth
@@emersoncaicedo3146 There is, however, a Mark XIV Spitfire now based at Omaka, where a lot of the scenes in this video were shot. It was brought into New Zealand in the mid-1990s by Tim Wallace at Wanaka. In January 1996 the Spitfire crashed on takeoff at Wanaka and was badly damaged. It passed through different hands until it wound up at Ardmore air field in - I think - 1997, where it was eventually repaired and made its first public appearance at the Classic Fighters air show 2015. Fully restored, it made a twenty minute test flight at Ardmore on the Thursday before the air show, then flew down to Omaka late on Friday. Next morning, when we walked in for the day's activities, we saw *three* Spitfires lined up - something that had not been seen south of the equator for more than sixty years. Next day, they started the activities and three Spitfires doing a flyby is not a show starter, but a show *stopper* in anyone's book. Two of the Spitfires are Mark IXs and when the three of them were flying it was very easy to tell which one had the Griffon motor - bigger engine than the Merlin, slower running and different firing order, which gives it a completely different sound. At this year's Classic Fighters Omaka air show, while the Mark XIV was doing one of its displays, a commentator said that for insurance reasons, this aircraft doesn't display anywhere else than at Omaka. I guess the reasons aren't hard to figure out: the owners have a limited budget and the aircraft costs a fortune to maintain and fly and when it does fly, the insurance premiums hit the stratosphere. Still we air show fans are very glad to have one here.
Yes, as aforementioned, THANK YOU, for not overlaying any music. This is music at its best, hearing the raw engines from these beautiful airplanes, old-skool mechanical engineering at its best. really enjoyed this clip, will check out your TH-cam channel. (too bad cant buy the dvd as I live in USA).
You CAN buy the DVD because we have an NTSC version which will play in your player connected to your TV system (just selective NTSC or PAL option when you purchase). In fact we have NTSC versions of the majority of our DVDs, and most of them also feature a second audio track which means you can turn the narration OFF, and just listen to the sound of the aircraft. We're STILL trying to find any other producer of aviation DVDs who have used this capability of DVD disks to provide this great feature to viewers. Sadly it appears that no-one else understands the music that is the aero-engine. See our website: www.aviationfilm.com
That was great thank you...I live near Caboolture airfield Queensland 🇦🇺.And there are often air shows...The growl of those engines is really something else.. 👍
Henry Seldon I've read about it on a few sites and magazines all good a bit of a distance from the UK though I'll have to settle for Duxford spitfires galore as well as most of the others. Sadly no F4U Corsairs though 😀🇬🇧
I think this video might be from the Omaka Airshow at the top of the South Island in New Zealand. Warbirds over Wanaka is held every two years and is located towards the bottom of the South Island. Both great events!
This video was shot at the Classic Fighters Marlborough airshow - top of the South Island of New Zealand. Not Warbirds Over Wanaka. New Zealand has several iconic airshow events.
These exact planes right here are what influenced me as a kid to join the USAF. Wish I got to put my hands on them irl but I can’t complain because I now work on the coolest jets 😎
Beautiful aircraft and incredible Pilots! The Corsair is a favorite. Wishing everyone a loving Veterans Day! ❣️~ Daughter and GodDaughter of WWII Veterans, USAAC (I Love and Miss You!❣️)
The sound these old planes made was part of the warfare tactic. The psychological effect it had on the enemies was very demoralizing and awesome. Both sides used sound as psychological weaponry. Who can forget the sound of the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, or the Whistle of the Vought F4U Corsair?
@@HistAvFilmUnit P-40. Not the fastest or most agile but I like it's aesthetically pleasing lines. That and the first airplane movie I ever saw was about the Flying Tigers. The P-38 is a close second. And yours?
I was so fascinated by this video the sound of those wonderful planes. A wonderful age has passed planes are in such a hurry now. Nothing sounds like a Spitfire when ever I hear that sound a shiver goes down my spine. My dad is from Farnborough, Kent. I grew up passing the Spitfire and Hurricane outside the RAF base. I think it is difficult to not have that illogical rush of patriotism come back even every other belief about my country has been destroyed.
Sweeptheleg ! Agreed on the autos (E Type Jag, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce) don't forget Bob Hope (far better entertainer than Benny Hill), Chaplin, Monty Python and 2 groups that took the world by storm, The Beatles and The Stones. '
Beautiful and scary at the same time. I can just imagine how terrifying it must have been in ww2 to hear enemy planes in the sky above your head. The sound of a bombing squadron with all its supporting fighters.
I was at an Airshow in Austria in 2011 an when they startet flying Spitfires and a BF109 a old men had a breakdown most likly PTSD
Some of the best sounds man has ever created.
Not if u are in war and those planes pass over ur head
Most satysfing and terrifyng at the same time
That is seriously no word of a lie.
This is music to our ears.. sweet sweet music😁

Nor the sound of a Rolls-Royce Merlin.
Fasho
Spitfire had the best sound with that whistling addition to that beefy roar.
Ranger80pl1 tigers Allison had a whistle
Ranger80pl1 the soviet plane had a good roar to it. I think it's a yak 5 but don't hold me on that.
@FR "Allison was a copy of the Merlin."
Um...no. Completely different engines, made by different companies.
@@amateurphilosopher9555 Yak 3, powered by an Allison - the original Klimov engines are no longer available.
I believe the 1st Spitfire had a Griffon in it, if I was a betting man...
The sweetest music was all their engines .

@@jackmischeski6178Rubbish, hands down The Spitfire mk1 was the best looking fighter of the war, that paint job 😍
That Corsair is a mean looking weapon, that’s all beautiful music to my ears.
Wade Dixon was the first plane to hit 400 mph in level flight, also had the the largest prop until the osprey. Love the corsair.
Sherry Setliff engineering at its best, if that came towards me, no need to shoot, quite sure I would just shit myself to death 💀 😂
Wade Dixon funny. Was a great plane.
I noticed that corsairs sound very similar the p-47's during flyby's. I wonder if they used the same engine?
@@namelessnick9791 Twin bank 16 cylinder Radial
Gorgeous pieces of history they even sound amazing. Jets can't beat these sounds but jets sound awesome in their own right.
2:20 Flying tiger in action! Glorious days
After 70 years will love the sound of an old war bird.....who will listen to a hybrid car in 2090.?
Bruh the corsair just looks and sounds amazing! What a terrifying opponent that was for the Japanese zero!
I had a friend of mine who served in the Army Air core in WW2 who recently at 100 years old, just passed away. We are losing all of our world war 2 veterans. God bless those who have served in our military
Loved hearing those fighters and watching them do the aerobatics without music, just beautiful engine sound.
The screech of the supercharged radial engines musta sent chills down the spines of enemys

No plane ever had more appropriate nose art than a P-40 with the shark mouth painted on by the air intake . .looks SOOOOOO awesome . . .
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk has always been my favorite.
Awesome! That sound of the Spitfire.

Someone needs to hire this videographer to capture UFO footage. Seriously, I'm not kidding.

Labor of love
Fantastic job on this. Love the P51, P40 and the Spitfire!
Amazing aircrafts..hearing how loud they were is what makes them so great!!
Piston driven aircraft are my second favourite engine sounds. My favourite engine sounds are the old Formula 1 engines from ‘89-‘13.

The PBY made me choke up. My grandfather was a PBY bubble gunner in the pacific. I miss him.
Spitfire sound is amazing!!!!
These exact planes right here are what influenced me as a kid to join the USAF. Wish I got to put my hands on them irl but I can’t complain because I now work on the coolest jets 😎
Wow that seaplane was so cool! You don’t see those very often anymore
Another grand performance those aircraft put on, Thank them
Makes me miss the sounds that used to come out of El Toro AFB.
WW2 fighter planes and the Doppler Effect: a match made in heaven 😍
Corsair & Mustang--my favorites
When those two P-40’s roared across the screen I wanted to head for cover and shout .....strafing run !
Many beautys,and what a Air show,I LOVE it
Beautiful aircraft and incredible Pilots! The Corsair is a favorite. Wishing everyone a loving Veterans Day! ❣️~ Daughter and GodDaughter of WWII Veterans, USAAC (I Love and Miss You!❣️)

Yuh father an OG den
Be my Brothers plz

The sound these old planes made was part of the warfare tactic. The psychological effect it had on the enemies was very demoralizing and awesome. Both sides used sound as psychological weaponry. Who can forget the sound of the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, or the Whistle of the Vought F4U Corsair?
Such beautiful machines.
THAT.... Is some BADASS SH/T..!!!
I love those P-40's & Spitfires and of course the P-51's too..!
the P40 in the Flying Tigers paint job is the best .
listen to those horses run free :)
Blenheim, New Zealand. My old hometown.
Whatever that was at 17 seconds was amazing!
P-40 and man it sounds amazing
Excellent video! Added to favorites to watch again later, the sound is almost therapeutical.
Awesome video. Pure sound without annoying music. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! What's your favourite?
@@HistAvFilmUnit P-40. Not the fastest or most agile but I like it's aesthetically pleasing lines. That and the first airplane movie I ever saw was about the Flying Tigers. The P-38 is a close second. And yours?
Now that ended with a bang!! Good Video thanks. Loved all the planes, and was amazed at how low they got yet still so nimble.
I love this old planes, great sound
Such an amazing engineering feat since the Bristol F.2b 30 years prior
I truly love seeing these aircraft flying!!! Beautiful!!! Thank you for the video
This is the best TH-cam video i have seen on a long time, cheers!
I was so fascinated by this video the sound of those wonderful planes. A wonderful age has passed planes are in such a hurry now. Nothing sounds like a Spitfire when ever I hear that sound a shiver goes down my spine. My dad is from Farnborough, Kent. I grew up passing the Spitfire and Hurricane outside the RAF base. I think it is difficult to not have that illogical rush of patriotism come back even every other belief about my country has been destroyed.
Peter Wilson You Brits do make some lovely autos as well mate, and you gave us Benny Hill, that's something to be proud of, right?
Sweeptheleg ! Agreed on the autos (E Type Jag, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce) don't forget Bob Hope (far better entertainer than Benny Hill), Chaplin, Monty Python and 2 groups that took the world by storm, The Beatles and The Stones.

All of these planes were super even loved seeing the Catalina, what a romantic enjoyment.
