“Sorry for swinging my camera around so much” Don’t apologize for playing the game how you do, it’s what we’re here for, and it makes me feel like I’m playing the game
Fun facts: George E. Bostwick was an American fighter pilot who served under the 62nd Squadron of the 56th Fighter Group, which was based in Boxsted England. On the 7th of June, he destroyed his first aircraft in the air, a BF109, over Grandvilliers, France, and on July 4 over Conches Airdrome Bostwick destroyed three BF109's in quick succession. He also damaged a BF109 in the air on the same mission. For the most part of the mission, he was on his own and at a great disadvantage because of a malfunctioning aircraft. This action earned him a Silver Star. Two days later, flying his P-47 - which he dubbed "Ugly Duckling", Bostwick destroyed a BF109 in the air over Beaumont, France, becoming an ace pilot. That same P-47 is what we see here in War Thunder. On September 8, on this 70th mission, he destroyed three FW190's on the ground at the Euskirchen Airdrome. But what he was most famous for was becoming one of the few Allied pilots to shoot down a ME262, while assigned to the 63rd Squadron on his return to the 56th Fighter Group for a second combat tour in 1945. After the war, the US Air Force sent Bostwick to the USAF Institute of Technology and to graduate school at Stanford University, where he received a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering and a Master's degree in Business and Industrial Engineering. Upon graduating, he served in procurement, engineering and maintenance capacities, retiring from the USAF on October 31, 1963. Since then, he has worked at the General Dynamics facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Source: p47pilots.com/P47-Pilots.cfm?c=incP47BiographyHome.cfm&vm=BIO&pilotid=43&p=George%20E.%20Bostwick
just imagine Bostwick introducing himself in his class and get asked what's the best thing he has ever done before going to Stanford University, and then Bostwick just said "I just shot down a couple of Bf-109s to acquire the title of an Ace and I also dogfight one of the first ever fighter jet and won"
@@friendlycomradeivan5393 As a jumbo 76 player in my 6.0 lineup I cannot tell you how funny it is that in my most downtiered games I still feel like I am only being saved by the incompetency of average Germany players. Meanwhile I J out on max uptiers because there's nothing my armor, speed, or gun can do against most of the enemy team. It belongs at 5.7 but with decompressed BRs
FYI: you maniacal laugh (both when you kill and are killed) is one of the reasons that I look forward to you daily content. much love, be well and all the best.
I have reasearched "the Jug" yesterday and I don't regret a thing because flying it in ground RB just makes me happy, and that suspended armament is just too good to be true
Good to see that the P47 got better as the years go by! I got the bostwick p47 back in 2016 but i havent played war thunder since. Good to see that its great now!
my great grandad was a P-47 pilot and went down over Italy from AA and was rescued by SAS. he went on to fly the steaming pile of garbage that was the B-47 Stratojet and landed it with no hydraulics, saving his crew from certain death.
P-47M is such a good plane, it was the first vehicle I aced for free. If you’re looking for another good combo Odd, I wholeheartedly recommend the M26E1 and P-47M
Thanks for getting me back into war thunder, I used to play it all the time, but you got me back unit it, I may lag all the time, but it's still fun and a beautiful game to play.
That loveable p-47 has been altered so many times, I first picked it up, when they had the intro sale for it years ago, and it had air breaks then, which later they deemed too OP for a CAS plane, and removed them.. good to see that they wised up and gave them back at some point.
Oh god these videos are like treasures hidden i have no idea how the quality didint even change for once ever i wish had found this channel way earlier in my childhood damn
Yesterday I got a game with 6 kills in the British P47, safe to say my best match in a long time and my best CAS game ever, 3 of those kills being one bombing run as the Soviet and germans clumped together, and it happened after I watched your CAS video, coincidence?
Love the game play - not many players can be happy when they (finally) get killed - learn every time about positioning and using specific tanks. Not much of a fly boy but these videos are a great incentive to try it again haha
“Sorry for swinging my camera around so much”

Yeah, what Odd is doing is called keeping his flanks in check to make sure there are no enemy tanks in the location he's viewing.
Agree , Odd is nice and good player
Agreed, personally it gives me a better sense of where he is and how he thinks whilst checking for enemies
Yeah it certainly isn't a problem to see him looking around.

Still alive?
Very interesting story,thanks for sharing!
Okay, OddBawZ... I watched that PE-8 kill like 15 times.
That truly was epic.
Well played sir 👍🏼

OddBawz: You are already dead...
Pe-8: *Drops big ol' bomb*
OddBawz: No, you
That PE-8 bomb kill was incredible
2:19 That encounter with the PE-8 was awesome! Bravo, sir 😎😎😎

Noah & Odd, match made in Gaijin
I've never seen a Thunderbolt out fly a Yak escpecially when the Yak has the energy advantage
Last famous words heard by the opponents "Hahaha". Scottish painted plane PTSD. 😝
Shooting that plane down and then his bomb was awesome lol
Odd's laugh really makes me smile. He sounded like he was having so much fun in this intro. Makes me think that War Thunder can be fun
The smile on my face during that intro... Keep up the great work mate!
last time I was this early the Lightning F.6 was still a 10.0

You need to do a game with Noah and you guys do commentary together. Clearly its destiny. You know his gamer tag.
Make it happen my guy
Shooting that Bomb out of the air was hype af
Honestly the most intense and epic intro I've seen in a while. Shooting the bomb from the sky xD
Did you know, this plane has AIRBRAKES!?
IT HAAS AIR BRAKES!
Thats the think i dream for a P47. Haha
How does he customize all his vehicles the way he does? They look crazy good.

This is like one of the best intro to your videos. That PE-8 kill was so freaking cool.

btw that CAS video helped a lot. :)
You deserve more subscribers
Kills a tank with “mind bullets”
The "Mind Bullets" kill lol, We love you odd, don't change!
Damn that bomb shot tho at 2:29 is amazing
Good to see that the P47 got better as the years go by! I got the bostwick p47 back in 2016 but i havent played war thunder since. Good to see that its great now!
"Germany Suffers" XD
That intro was absolutely amazing, AND CONGRATS. YOU GOT TO 69K SUBS
my great grandad was a P-47 pilot and went down over Italy from AA and was rescued by SAS. he went on to fly the steaming pile of garbage that was the B-47 Stratojet and landed it with no hydraulics, saving his crew from certain death.
I watched that moment where you shot the bomb about ten times. Then I had a lie-down.
YOU SHOOT THE BOMB AND IT KILL THE BOMBER
Thanks, man. Always nice to come home to a new video from you!
I had my first 8 kill game with a Shadow Streak of 5 at BR of 3.3. Thanks to watching you i've learned how to be sneaky around corners, and patient.
Congratz on your 69k subs buddy. Now lets get to 70k and the 1 mil sounds good. Btw I keep watching that bomb drop and destruction. Love it
That's insane hit the enemy's bombs while the dropping mad skill
Oddz has gone mad in the intro! Completely love it!
That intro was so fucking good I'm going to make a Patreon account or something holy fucking Scotland.
Those are next level intros with that cinematic music🔥
I love how he is very happy
Bro shot a bomb .... I can’t even hit a fucking bomber
2:33 OH.MY.GOD. YOU ABSOLUTE MAD LAD😂
Your RUclips videos made me start playing War Thunder. Thank you!
"ASS" - love it, nice decal placement!
Your energy in your videos is so contiguous makes me wanna call off work to just play War Thunder
its my favourite aircraft to fly out in sim as well
Thanks OddBawZ! You should make a compilation of your progressively-getting-better epic intros!
I wish i could fly the way you do. You make it seem so easy. I enjoy learning all i possibly can. Thx
23m in I love how you dont instantly drop your bombs to shoot down a plane and let your teammates get him what great style man
P-47M is such a good plane, it was the first vehicle I aced for free. If you’re looking for another good combo Odd, I wholeheartedly recommend the M26E1 and P-47M
That intro was sick was laughing and smiling with you too haha.

It’s so cool that the T20 that has low armor, a 76mm, and hood mobility will be going against Tiger 2 every game.
