Is this actual audio? They really be this calm?

I worked with a old guy who was a B-17 Pilot in the 8th Air Force . One day he brought in a stack of photos from 2 of his bombing missions . He said they obviously didn't have time to be taking pictures while they were on a bombing run and being attacked by fighters so he stole a couple rolls of film the Army put in the Airplane . He said one time the target was covered by clouds or fog I can't remember, but after the second pass they still couldn't get a clear view of the target but they did see some RR tracks and followed them and they went into a town in the mountain area of Romania I think and he said since it was enemy territory they just dropped them there and he said the poor bastards probably didn't even know a war was going on until then . He said that is the only mission that bothers him . His stories about arguing with the American Fighter pilots about them having to check a bomber out if the Pilot decided his plane was too badly damaged to make it home they would go to Switzerland and finish out the war as kind of prisoners of the Swiss staying in a nice hotel and treated well . Fighters were ordered to shoot down U.S. bombers if they refused to turn back if there was not a lot of damage . He also said Jimmy Stewart was a disliked asshole.

Mörder

those airplanes are called bf-109s

Unsere Jäger hätten noch mehr von diesen Mörderbombern runter holen sollen, am besten alle.

Staged footage.

The Greatest Generation!

i luv it

They are called the Greatest Generation, and this helps to explain why. Nothing but honor and admiration for those men and women.

Yeah those guys would have been that calm during an attack.

0-60mph (0-97kph) test at 13:24

Is it a mod? Or I can buy directly

My cousin (who died before I was even born) was a B-17 pilot in the 305th Bomber Group. He died from a 20mm cannon shell in the chest in January 1943 over Lille, France.

that's American law, you can't drink beer until you're 21...but you can be sent to war to kill at 19...shame on you cowboy...😡😡😡

Don’t forget that the temperature at altitude was -40 to -60 degrees Fahrenheit on 10 hour missions. Incredible bravery AND determination!

Allied bomber crews suffered proportionately higher casualties than any other service I believe. My father survived two tours as pilot with RAF 342 squadron. See ruclips.net/video/-1vHH5q25Zc/видео.html

At least the Infrantry could get down a hole or in the grass.. These guys are surrounded by freezing alloy.. nowhere at all to hide...sitting ducks....Brave as hell.

This is cut edits from a movie all fake

They were probably bombing civilians

Jesus Christ these guys are so calm they sound they are talking about the weather.

TEN ME109S OUT OF THE SUN....iron maiden aces high

What is Me-109s?

I'm amazed at how calm and professional they remain.

im 22 and sitting in front of my computer today while these guy in their early 20s doing this, crazy. respect to the worlds best generation

This is a clip from the Memphis Belle documentary

I suppose that stress emerges as PTSD later.

This commentary is terrible

Military cameramen are the most underrated people in war history

My father was a navigator on a B-24 in 1944. He told me what the crews before him had was almost impossible to imagine. Basically you flew missions unitl you were shot down. Watching that B 17 out of control at the end is just numbing to me. Almost impossible to escape with the g forces on that craft. My father told me feared the plane being hit and a fire erupting and smoke would make it impossible to escape. Interestingly he seldom spoke much on anything, but he did discuss the war in detail. Odlly enough most of my peers growing up with ww 2 fathers were hesistant to discuss most details or specifics....some discussed a bit but mostly silent. TOTAL RESPECT, ADMIRATION .............to the GREATEST GENERATION. From a son, nephew, neighbor, friend to those men.

the concept of aerial combat is just insane. You're flying through the air in a screaming metal death trap all the while firing machine guns at some other poor sap while trying to evade counterfire.

PERO SE NESECITAVA MUCHISIMO MAS PARA DEFENDERSE DE LA INVASION; NI AUN EN GIGANTESCA MAYORIA PODIAN DERROTAR DEFINITIVAMENTE A LA LUFTWAFFE

What website did you get?

it's a bf 109

They are BF-109s....ME was 163s 262s and 410s....for the love of God stop calling 109s MEs

Gotta give these peeps props. This was the greatest generation, unfortunately GenX and the millennial generation seem to be the worst generation in modern US history. They unfortunatley are the punkass generation.😫

Now we turned all the men into LGBT

Esos eran hombres de veras sin miedo a la.muerte. No importa el bando, ambos eran unos valientes

Hihi, i tedeschi abbatterono 2 su tre di questi bidoni serviti al porco Churchill solo per massacrare inermi civili

Its sad to say but the gunner aboard the bomber is firing his gun for morale. None of his bullets hit the target. The 109 was hand over fist more successful.

Seems damn near impossible shooting a tiny moving target with a machine gun.

Honor to these brave american pilots!!

Verdammt mussten unsere Jungs da nah ran!

Young lads so brave

8th airforce by day and RAF by night....the losses were huge...twice as many by the RAF than the 8th..but they were all brave young men. ❤

Something like 50,000 Americans died in the early daylight raids before escorts could be used , what a terrible strategy that was it , cost so much

If you think what a 20mm round can do to an human body, I read about the "cleaning" squads that had to clean the aircrafts after every mission, very nightmarish. P.s. do you know that a young Walter Matthau was a waist gunner on a B24? It was perhaps the most exposed position in a bomber.

Falta la serie MASTER OF THE AIR...allí veremos relatos de sobrevivientes de la guerra en el aire...pronto

It’s a shame the good guys lost

Huy..lis alemanes no eran tontos como en las pelis...😮

Bäm, einer weniger😂
