The History of U.S. Military Air Power - World War 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2022
- Air power plays a crucial role at the end of World War II. As long-range bombers dismantle the German infrastructure in Europe, fighters provide cover over the advancing troops. The pattern in the Pacific is essentially the same. A B-29, the Enola Gay, brings the war to a close by dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. See the U.S. Air Force emerge as a separate service and moves into the Jet Age.

I'm 83 years old. So the world was at war for much of my early childhood. The sound of hundreds of bombers flying over cannot be described. It was a throbbing roar that seemed to penetrate everything.
I restore exteriors of old building in Society Hill, Philadelphia, In short, I'm a house painter. Fifteen years ago I painted a house on Lawrence Court, the man I was working, Major Harrison was one of the original Tuskegee Airmen.... it was thrilling to meet him. He was the head of the Peace Corp in Africa

Never knew the "Operation Reunion" story, thanks for your excellent documentary
Good video...Increase narration volume
A very good summary and time line about wwll.
Your presentation of D-Day is left seriously wanting.
Yes and some of the info on Doolittle's Raid was flat out wrong
Ed Dyes and his pursuit squadron put up a fight of what have left of their P-40's in Bataan.
Freedom is not free, there is a cost……
Define "freedom"
@@MrNoodlesforall
A roof over my head, clothes on my body, food to eat, not being forced into religions that I don't believe in, the opportunity to better myself every day. And being thankful that I live in a country that has a Constitution that guarantees my rights. I was injured on my job, falling 50 feet to the ground on a construction job accident. From that I'm paralyzed from my chest down. When I was injured, so many people jumped in to save my life. It took millions of dollars in medical bills. I didn't have to pay a single penny. The only thing that was required was that I focused on my recover so I could live my life. I even have a handicapped accessible vehicle. Not many countries would have done what the USA has done for me. And you know what's even better? If I happen to not like the USA, I can save my money, research where I'd be happy, and go there. But I love the USA 🇺🇸. I'm not going anywhere.
@@MrNoodlesforall you first.
@@w.allencaddell6421 you described quite a few countries there mate. Sorry you couldnt pay me to live in the US, love to visit but never to live, its violent and backward.
@@grantbuchanan7295 youve said it mate!i couldn't agree more to that bro!that american guy live in a fantasy world!he only sees and hears what his govt told him too.the fact is,in reality its opposite to what he hv said.
U.s. govt are the most corrupted and evil in the world!
Freedom for america is for another country to suffer!
if his govt. Was so good,why people hv to jump in n donate money for his operations?
WHERE is his so govt??
Im from Sputh East Asia country, the so called 3rd world country.
But, i tell you this,we dnt really need health insurance because our govt had it all covered!if im ill n need to go to our govt. Hospital,
As a citizen,i only need to pay $1 registration fees to see a doctor,
The check up and medicines are all FREE OFF CHARGE!
And i only had to pay $5.00 registration fees to see specialist doctor.and F.O.C. for children under 1 yrs old,pensioner and elderly for minor treatments.
School,text book for children age 4-18 yrs old all f.o.c.
And i can go on n on..
I am proud of my country as My country treats their citizens much better than in u.s.
I felt more freedom &safe here than if i was in u.s. with their so called 5th amendment rights for any person to owned a GUN!
And thats why there has many terryfying shootouts witch causing many tragic horrible deadly incidents! Scary!!
There was no gas shortage for the U S during the war. Gas was rationed because there was a shortage of rubber for tires.
@David Vining don't forget there were also needs for metals, and you know..the whole picture includes beans, bullets, bandaids and badguys etc..
the luxury tax placed on tires during the war, was finally lifted not all that long ago
For those criticizing the accuracy of this documentary keep in mind it was likely made in the 1950's, well before many of the facts about the war were made public. For example, the fact that the U.S. knew that Japan would attack Midway when they did as a result of the work of their codebreakers wasn't known until the 1970's
There are some real errors here, beginning with the Battle of Midway. The video leaves the suggestion that Army Air Corps bombers hit the Japanese carriers which of course was not the case. Allied air power played a huge role in destroying the NAZIs, but this simplistic video does not explain accurately just how it did so. I understand how Hollywood gets so much wrong, but you would think that documentaries could do a little better.
You get the feeling that this was a video made around what stock footage they had laying around. Where is the P47? At least they mentioned the P51, a;though I don't recall seeing one in the video. And some of the generalications are laughable. The B17's at midway didn't hit a damn thing.. And the ball bearing production was never seriously curtailed. This video has too much malarkey for my taste.
Dove in? In a B-25?
The music drove me away
"G R E A T E S T G E N E R A T I.O.N !" 🙏 ♥
"... a few navy and marine pilots along for the ride..." as if their efforts and life take a back seat that does not exist in sacrifice.
Glad we beat them. I remember frustratinf my dad when we were at Pearl Harbor. I literally couldnt understand how they couldnt get out. He was in the Navy and tried to explain. I was a dumb kid apparently.
Return to the carrier?
Macarthur left his aircraft in forward areas, lined up, and uncamouflaged, like a fool. He was a "legend in his own mind", and not a very good General.
It doesn't need all that sound hard to listen to
Pretty sugar coated doco-good to see different footage though, thanks
I hope the narration in this vid doesn't sensationalize. It is a real turn off.
Now i know ever since world war 2 america is powerful in the air til the present they are the most powerful
Great job done on the Japanese.
The narrator has a slighty barack obama tone
The United States was lucky that it had enough aircraft production capacity to keep first generation aircraft in production while working on 2nd and 3rd generation War planes.
There’s nothing lucky about it the money was there and the government contracts were lucrative if we would’ve kept those same tax rates on the rich compared to now imagine what we could do smdh and that was after the depression social security and building the highway system we have today and yet people still think tax cuts work smdh trickle down economics damn near just broke England it doesn’t work hasn’t worked here tried and failed there I don’t understand why we keep trying it
My late grandmother was a homemaker before the war. When one of her three sons went off to the Island Hopping Campaign with the US Marines she became a machinist. She operated a metal lathe to do her part to help out the American war effort.
Despite surviving landings on Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima, my uncle came home a lost soul who rarely spoke to another person until his death more than 30 years later.
There is another factor also about platforms. The US Navy planners in the 1930s did an amazing job. While the attacks were going on, the newer classes of battleships and carriers were already showing in theater; instead of years to do so.
Regards
Diligence and forward thinking of a nation saved the whole world from the Axis powers…
Luck had nothing to do with it. The United States had "enough" competent leadership.

"we" keep trying it? Who is "we"? I only see the republicans "keep trying (doing) it".
@@javiervidaurre6325 you do tax cuts yes you’re right and it keeps not working democrats keep trying to increase taxes and it keeps getting blocked and you’re nothing has changed let the increased taxes go through and the see what happens it’s obvious republican tax cuts don’t work but you’re right they keep trying them lol it’s obvious your self-own was inevitable because you either didn’t read what was written or you’re too stuck in your beliefs but one things for sure we’ve never taxed corporations or the rich if they paid their fair share things would be different here instead of us sending jobs overseas building up their economy
Oh jeeze another bleeding heart liberal. Now we spend those tax dollars on sex change operations and gender identity indoctrination.
the US is king of air power
And its 29 secs ago!!!
And its 29 secs ago!!
That u came out of tha closet?
Ja...the murderous savages lost.
Vote republican or this was for nothing.
Unfortunately it's too late, this country is going down the crapper. How the hell you could elect what has to be the dumbest senator in the history of the US is beyond me.
Got that right. China is the biggest threat to the world but the socialist anti American Democratic party, (SAAD,) is the biggest threat to the US.
And its 29 secs ago!!!
