As a Pilot who has flown in actual and direct aerial combat, what is amazing about this mission was the airmanship and navigation involved...no GPS...no Radar...no Hawkeye....just time...heading and distance. Amazing feat especially when you look at the distances involved.
I hereby solemnly swear that I will never, ever buy anything from any of these extremely annoying advertisers here on youtube! Amen!!
Actually, no Zero aircraft in the escort were shot down though one was heavily damaged. While there was much debate on who shot down Yamamoto, only Barber's account matches the visual inspection of Yamamoto's aircraft as it lies in the jungle. Yamamoto was NOT found in the wreckage, he was found still strapped to his seat, head down and his white gloved hand still firmly holding his katana, beneath a tree
Wondered why the Mitsubishi G4M Bettys were Junkers 88As!.And the A6M Zeros were Lavochkin LA5s!!
Also, please note guys that some of these planes are indeed European aircraft painted in Japanese livery. There are currently no Pacific planes in the game, so I had to do my best with what I had! Credits to Lee Sherman who commented the idea for this video!
Oh how the 1940's Americans would have loved to have seen this simulation! Well done!
They should regret forever for attacking the U.S soil!
According to history, none of the Japanese fighter aircraft were shot down in this mission. Only the two larger bomber planes were shot down.
Nicely done. My grandfather served in Europe for over 2 years in a US infantry division. I will always be proud of him and for what he did. Thanks for taking the time to do something that is awesome with the technology of the day.
Yeah !! Pearl Harbor buddy !
"Yamamoto might've survived if only he encrypted his transmissions...
My father's cousin Besbiy Holmes was one of the pilots in this operation.. Great video presentation
Damn. This simulator has some damn good graphics.
The P-38's flew 50 feet above the water for the entire inbound leg of the mission.
I have seen other versions of this incident on RUclips and this is by far the best one! Good work!
That was incredibly well done. My dad was there!
TJ3 Gamming, this is your best historical battle video yet! Your attention to detail is superb such as showing moving control surfaces, flames from exhaust manifolds and even spent cartridges being ejected from guns. Keep up the great work that you do Sir!!
This was a historic event. Equivalent to losing McArthur or Patton for the United States.
If the Japanese had actually used the aircraft depicted Yamamoto might have had a better chance. That being said, nice vid.
My father's college roommate and my father joined up and served in the Army Air Corp. His roommate, Dick Reade of Haiti MO was in that squadron and in that fight to bring Yamamoto down. Dick's assignment that day was to fly a stripped down P-38 at altitude to film the shootdown. Another of the Greatest Generation.
