Cool film! An interesting mix of truth and wishful thinking. The technical information about turbochargers was spot on, but the propaganda about being untouchable was well over the top. We did manage to keep a high altitude advantage throughout the war, but not nearly so large as the film wanted you to believe.
"Our boys have bombed objectives with amazing accuracy..." Sure, so long as you define "amazing accuracy" as "the bombs landed somewhere in the country we were aiming at", but don't tell the public about that. ;) Cool video, I love these WWII era technical movies. Everything was developing so fast, the people who created these instructional films must have been working flat-out and non-stop.
What they aren’t talking about is how you have additional gauges to monitor such as induction pressure and brake mean effective pressure. It takes a good deal of finesse to balance the wastegate and throttle as they can both feed each other to devastating oscillations if the pilot’s not careful. Lots of book smarts was needed here.
Propaganda? Well considering the audience no, more about instilling confidence in the technology, nothing more. Not like they're going to tell pilots, "It's a shit-show over Europe and you're going to be lucky to survive; this won't do shit!"

I’ve been interested in this subject since I was a kid. This is the best period video I’ve seen on the subject. 👍🏻
Great film thanks for posting. I never understood turbo-superchargers until seeing this film.

AWESOME VIDEO! Thank you so much for the upload!
i realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
Good video thank you
Saw one at an air museum today. Straight on to RUclips as soon as I got back
Turbos won the war
It's ironic it was the Americans that developed the turbo, but not the jet engine-as a turbo supercharger is almost a jet engine
No it wasn't..it was patented by Sulzer in 1905
Neat video!
gold!
Wonder how turbo get smaller today compared to massive one use here?
Well the engines are a lot bigger
This film was obviously made before the Schweinfurt raid when we lost 60 planes.

109 could fly at 45000 feet though. american propaganda.
which model?
It’s about 39,000 feet Chippy
@@daslynnter9841 I was wrong, According to Wikipedia the H-1 model didn't quite achieve 49,000 feet. For the G and K it was about 39,000-41,000
chippyjohn1 the h1 is the ta154. Its focke wulf NOT a Messerschmitt
