Yet, carrier pilots did not like "blind" take offs, thus the F-5 took over the carrier role and the F-4 much more "island hopped" airstrip to airstrip as the Navy took terrain. Filling the close-air-support role. This, along with the much more superior P-38 and F5. Knowing a naval WW2 Pacific carrier pilot, I have it on good faith that Navy pilots absolutely refused to fly the Corsair off/on an aircraft carrier. For what it's worth.

Never heard of this battle thank you. Our pilots fought bravely tois kinon rimasi pithomenoi like 300 of Leonidas did.

日本の99式艦上爆撃機やアメリカのSBD、SB2Cなど他の急降下爆撃機と比べると、Ju-87の降下角度は異常。 ほぼ直角なんだよね。

One small point. In the word Luftwaffe the 'w' is pronounced as an English 'v'.

Este video es un montaje bastante fantasioso, la mayoría de escenas de acción corresponden a aviones alemanes, alguno incluso de subtipos de Ju 87 que nunca estuvieron en España. Los primeros "bombarderos en picado que llegaron a España fueron 1 He 50 y 2 Hs 123, ambos modelos biplanos. que llegaron a España más o menos en septiembre de 1936, pero pronto se devolvieron a su país de origen1 Hs 123 y el He 50, el Hs que en España recibió el nombre de Angelito (hay varias explicaciones para este nombre) el único Hs 123 matriculado 24-1 basado en Sevilla realizo su primer bombardeo el 31/12/1936. en marzo de 1937 llegaron cuatro más que se matricularon de 24-2 a 24-5, el 25/3/1937 fue derribado por la artillería el Angelito pilotado por el Uffz. K.Rückert que pudo lanzarse en paracaídas pero que fue acribillado y muerto por las fuerzas de la república (practica bastante frecuente). Respecto a los Ju 87 el primero en llegar fue el Ju-87V4, en septiembre de 1936, que recibió la matrícula 23-1 cuyo rimer servicio "operativo fue el 31/12/1936. realizó varias misiones de combate y posiblemente a partir del 9 de enero fue devuelto a Alemania. El 15 de enero de 1938 llegaron los tres primeros ejemplares de serie del Ju 87 A, matriculados 29-2,3, 4. Mas adelante, llegó otro matriculado 29-5. En los carenados del tren se les pintó la "cerdita Jolanthe". Respecto a los Ju-87 B1 llegaron 7 matriculados 29-7 a 29-13, la matrícula 29-6 no se asignó a ningún avion. Se emplearon casi siempre como aviones de apoyo táctico para la infantería, y desde luego nunca como aviones de ataque barcos, esta tarea la llevaron a cabo biplanos bimotores He.-59 "Zapatones", basados primordialmente en Pollensa (Mallorca) que lograron hundir 47 buques republicanos y capturar 1, lo que suponía más de 100.000 toneladas de registro bruto.

This is the Japanese counterpart of ta152 and bv155

This is a really good video. I like the use of voices as well.

☦️🇬🇷

Excellent and unknown video.Well done for it.

And now Finnish Airforce have to try turning Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II from a total lemon to something even remotely useful in real life (read: Mission Impossible). No wonder pensions of Finnish elderly people are already under cutter and national healthcare is about to turn into F*d-up repugnant s*t.

G'day ADD, Interesting video. I particularly liked the brief shots of warships sailing backwards. As to the FU Corsairs they are my favourite WW2 fighter even though they didn't achieve as much as other types. Like many airframes in the conflict they were rushed into service; clearly with a need for more aerodynamic and design work to smooth out its unique idiosyncrasies. Pilots, also were not generally given sufficient time to come to grips with the Corsair's advantages and dangers, especially in carrier operation. This is an aircraft that also suffered from spreading manufacturers too widely. It's now obvious that certain factories built Corsairs either with insufficient understanding or too quickly to meet demands. An interesting part of the Corsair story, you didn't cover, is their use by the Royal New Zealand Air Force. I'm ex-RAAF and I'm deeply interested in RAAF history. I believe that our service got their hands on a Corsair for evaluation and after close physical and flying examination, decided against adding them to their inventory. I'm not so sure about the details of the RAN and why they didn't use the Corsairs either. In any case it was a great pity that so many groundbreaking aircraft were simply dumped at sea, or scrapped as they were in the US. Air forces would have benefitted by more research into 'gull wing' designs and the 'accidental' clipped wing feature. Thanks for your video.. Cheers, Bill H.

Hellenic air Force, still fighting the Mongolian air force over the Agean sea.

⚓️ Thanks ADD 😂 didn’t some fly in Korea?

Nice video..Well done..

Cpl George Mokkas was shot down by Rodel in an air battle over Trikalia, they had scrambled from Larisa,it was not the end of the Greek airforce,on 18 April they still had 11 PZL, 2 Bloch and 8 Gladiators active at Lodi, source Air war for Yugoslavia Greece and Crete , Nikola Maliza Brian Cull, and Christopher shores.

Σε ευχαριστούμε που αναδεικνύεις την λαμπρή πολεμική ιστορία της Ελλάδας.

F4U Vs. FW-190 Dora could have been a sweet fight.

My Granfather Georgios Pagkalos depicted on 2:18 2nd from left was one of the first graduates of the Hellenic Airforce Academy. He fought in the referenced in the video battles and survived. He later went to the Middle East and became a colonel for the 335 squadron which was based in Palestine and then Egypt . The 335th squadron consisted of Greek exiled pilots and belonged to the Royal British Airforce. He fought many battles including military operations in Egypt and the Nazi occupied island of Crete. He fell 4 times and survived each and everytime. He came back to Greece after the war to his wife and son and had another son. He died in 2007 aged 94 years old. He was a war hero, a true patriot, a truly brave and fierce warrior and a really incredible and talented pilot. P.S. After retiring from the Greek army he received an offer to fly for the Greek Commercial Airline Olympic Air which belonged to Onassis for a pretty hefty salary. He rejected the offer immediately, saying “ I am a fighter pilot and I would rather die than drive these air buses. Only wussies endure driving these boring air buses.😂” Ζήτω η Ελλάς 🇬🇷

Greece is a true fighter and i am proud to be greek🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Are the pilot radio communications real?

Great video. I am Greek and never heard of this fights! Not even i schools we are tought this events!

Pat Pattle one the greatest RAF ace, killed in action during this time

A detailed and accurate description of the event, thank you for sharing it.

A classy aircraft ❤❤❤

"Aviation Deep Dive", what a brilliant prod'n! I had always thought Junkers was just another Prussian industrial alpha-dog testing the av'n industry (because of the "Junkers" name assoc'n). The robust Duraluminum skin and (mostly) enclosed cabins made them effective bushplanes on floats or skis. (But I'm thinking a 'skosh more power would have been welcome; like all its competitors). A welcome surprise of a vid. Thanks, and 'subscribed'.

Giannis killass?

As a Greek I thank you ! .. and the video needs a greek translation .. I wanted to send it to so many but I knew they didn't speak English ..

There is a slight continuity error at the beginning of the video. Finland was not allied with Germany during the Winter War, but fought on it's own (hence the war lasted only 3 months). The alliance with Germany followed the war and Germany's occupation of Denmark and Norway, which effectively prevented help from the western countries.

I am astonished by the calm voices of the Greeks during that outnumbered fight. I salute

The fight continued. Greek pilots who were flying with the RAF achieved many victories.... Nice video.

Strange hearing about the Soviet government's unwillingness to give the Airacobra credit, yet still preserving them for their museums. Not only the other side caricatures the enemy.

Our innovative think had no competition back in the days before this millenia. I want that back but no one listens to my ideas.

nato slave eu-finland ! ...not interested ! 🤑🤮

Never had heard this story before. Thank you very much brother Greeks learned the Nazis from what we r made of. Fire and steel, never back down never surrender.

A greek pilot Mitraleksis, after spending all his ammunition, approached from behind an italian Kant bomber and chewed its rudder with his propeller! The bomber made a forced landing and Mitraleksis landed his now damaged fighter near it and took its crew prisoner. Many greek pilots escaped to Egypt, where they formed the 335 fighter squadron equipped with Hurricanes and fought with distinction. Our tiny Greece forced the Germans to delay operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the USSR, which seriously derailed their plans for a quick victory against the soviets.

These last desperate words of Georgios Mokkas, the downfall, the phrase " that's a confirmed kill... Makes your eyes full of tears. They were so brave! Rest in peace.

Turks outnumber us for 8.5:1 ratio , yet they dont dare to attack because they know what a nightmare is to fight Greeks

4 to 1!? Wow

Keep on with history. Good job friend

This is why Germany don't like the Greece ! Resistance Greece never give up ! and geve Russia time? German politics,will never forget! What Greece did.

Correction: There is one of Mörkö, The Bogeyman Moranes left. Or at least design blueprints. These are located at Finland War Museum, in Suomen Linna / Finland Castle.

It wasn't as much of a "political alliances Finland had formed" rather than "Soviet Union, prime member of Allies, attacked Finland, thus making Allies Finlands enemy and Finland had no other choice but to do whatever it took to survive"

Eyetalians?!?

very inconvenient to maintain.

Sounds like you're trying to pronounce Finnish names like they're French, which sounds super wrong and weird. Nobody does that. Just say them like they read.

Why did the British use F4U's, simple....it kicked ass.

Ζήτω η ΕΛΛΑΔΑ!

Thank You,Sir.

Muy bueno, si señor, historia tal como fue. Me ha encantado.

Always outnumbered, never outgunned or underperformed
