Herman Beuttel-Looks like an L-4 Grasshopper. I flew in a Cub(civilian version of the grasshopper). It was fun. The pilot, a former WWII fighter pilot, although came into the end of the war and never saw air combat, flew aerobatic maneuvers.
In my small town in rural California we had a Naval Air Station during the war. Our NAS was very small but it's the reason we have a decent little airport to this day. About 20 years after the war when I was a little kid my Grandpa and Uncle flew light planes, quite similar to the one in this show. 2 or 4 seats were the norm. They were VERY lightweight and had 80 to 110 horsepower motors. Brought back memories watching Hanley and the old pilot flying off into the sky...

Amazing that the Piper fired up the first time the prop was flipped. Under wartime conditions and maintenance, I wonder what the odds of that are? LOL!
13:20 1. rule at flight school. never, NEVER get near the prop when starting the engine. There were some planes visiting our airport that required to be started by a person on the prop as shown. These are always professionals because you could die. The instructors showed us material where people who did this somehow lost hands, arms or one by accident fell forward into the prop and was halfed. Thats no joke. Rick Jasons career would be ended anyway when sth would have happend. I would love to know if they thought of anything like that back then. I mean, Rick had people on the set that told him whats potentially dangerous, right? Because stuff can happen anyway... thinking about Vic Morrows "Twilight".... :/
Great series, kind of cute but weaker episode. Worst soldiers ever: can't hear a plane land a few hundred yards away, their captain is obsessed with eggs, don't notice there's gas and an American under your truck, and two officers and 6 or so soldiers can't outfight an injured pilot, a lieutenant and an old man, and are wiped out by grenades and a carbine (from a moving plane by the pilot) while the lieutenant learns to fly on uneven ground. Ok, just TV...
How the heck do you tell out like that, knowing the enemy is so close. Enjoy the series but so many obscure mishaps. And then , Hey what's wrong. Really
randy95023 - My husband had wanted to learn to fly and started taking lessons but for some reason he never finished. He was learning on a Cessna (spelling?). He got his instructor to take me up once and it was fun. There was a booklet he was given listing all of the little local airports and county landing strips and their conditions. We had a big laugh when the strip listed for my hometown was stated as “crumbling asphalt” Makes you wonder who would want to land there.
I think it have made better seance if would have gone up with a camera, pictures say a thousand words, can review what could be missed by the naked eye.
7:29 Herrhauptmann hat Verlangen nach dir :D hahahah too got. Meaning Herr hauptmann desires you (in the sense of: appetite/eagerness/craving) :D its slights wrong said. right would be: Er verlangt dich. He wants you.
I know this will sound silly: If you are absolutely outnumbered, you have a Carbine and the other injured man only has a .45, why not confiscate that rifle from the German Soldier you clubbed??? I mean, now you got 2 longer range weapons instead of those two, just my thoughts...
Cuz the German Mauser rifle was a 1 shot bolt action rifle, thats why..Robert at 67..and the 1911 Colt '45 caliber was a kicktail hand gun that puts you down with 1 round...learn your fire arms dude..
Most episodes Allies fire 1000 rounds at close range before hitting a German. This episode a pilot who is not used to firing a rifle fires a single shot from a moving plane and hits the German officer. Far fetched, not the best episode.
Yes, and the Germans had the 'Storch' light aircraft which was similiar, and could almost hover still in light headwinds..Benitto Musolini can thank his mountain top rescue from German high command before his late war fall and execution.
Not really convincing. Too many improbables. But a feel good episode. I have a feeling the poor farmer didn't survive in the aftermath. More a fairy tale episode than the usual reality type that made "Combat," a great series. Good to see the Kraut officer killed and the farmer spared.
7:38 Yes, the German is a mixed back COME TO HERRN HAUPTMANN ER HAT VERLANGEN NACH DIR; my goodness VERLANGEN that has in German expressed this way a sexual undertone ( DAS VERLANGEN = SEHNSUCHT ). Better had been KOMMEN SIE MIT ZUM HERRN HAUPTMANN ER VERLANGT NACH IHNEN. ( VERLANGEN is the basic form of the Verb bet that was improvised using some German school book as reference )
Hardly enough "gas" to get them airborne. Plus that fuel might have been diesel or methanol, not to mention even if gas that aviation fuel in those days was over 130 octane.
The L4 had a Continental A65 engine. Burns about 4 gallons per hour....probably less. My 85 HP Continental burns 4.8 gallons per hour. There was plenty in that pail to bet them back. Designed for 80LL, it will run on automobile fuel just fine. I thought this episode was a bit silly, but the fuel thing was realistic enough.

no it wasnt it took 4 times

39 years ago 7/23/82. Missed Vic sooo very much. God bless those 2 beautiful children.
I wish they would have shown him trying to land!
they did
@@55tumbler Not Hanley. You should watch the end!
I thought it was funny not a drop of fuel was lost in the bouncing buggy...lolol
Flying is easy---Landing is the hard part
yeah, fist landings are always a little hard.. it takes some time to adjust the feeling to the specific plane you fly
@@seegurke93 Nah, landing's the easiest thing in the world! It's walking away from one that's the tough part--lol!
Not sure if their tank is empty, but that bucket won't get them far.
FYI,that 30 Carbine is no match for the German Mauser rifle...
I think Hanley owes him that beer once they get back.
Was there any beer at the front?
you would think they could smell gas when Lt siphons
Not to mention seeing all the fuel pouring out onto the ground after the bucket is full.
Maybe, maybe not, with all the excitement going on around them...
Los disparos parecen de verdad los.trucos bien hechos

Wtf are you talking about ? That's an everyday thing. Hannly had it rougher many times. For combat this is a walk in the park.
Hollywood...
Anyone can fly a plane first time with very little explanation :-D
Because everything else is so realistic LOL!
The only hard part is to land it
Absurd the broken plane can be repaired and re-fuelled.

Did Hanley draw "flight pay" for this?
His pants did.

Anyone with an emergency.
@@Mrfrenchdeux And it is also a juristical insurance because landing at a unmarked spot, even in case of emergency, could lead to a law suit.
@@rogerlynch5279 Doubt it strongly.
the machine must crash when landing.
That was piece of cake 🎂
Truck gasoline isn't different from plane one ?
Octane is different, but works enough for the job at hand to reach American lines.

The Garand had good sights. No one in this series ever used them, though.

US Army M37 truck, made in the 1950's to 60's. NOT German, NOT period correct. Then again, REAL German trucks are hard to find.
