Awesome work done by all the crew members, not just the pilots. Sometimes they don't get the needed recognition for their effort. They are as veterans of war as any other infantry, paratroopers or pilots.
Every time I see the word “Rare” in a RUclips clip title, it just means here’s another re-cycle of the same stuff that was shown yesterday in another “rare” clip.
At 4:50 peep how the whole ship glows bright red, right before that shit exploded. Imagine being on that ship?!?! Imagine how fucking loud that shit was in person 🥶 War is crazy man.
Having served on a aircraft carrier, who says it's the military's job to "entertain" the crew ? You're in the military, for these men, in a time of war ! We had life far better than the infantry, sleeping in fox holes !
I'll keep it simple. The next time you people see an elderly gentleman wearing a WWII cap with his unit insignia, just shake his hand and say, " Thank you sir for not having our generation learn German or Japanese as a FIRST language"!
Carriers were not all Sailors, There were a lot of marines serving as well on carriers. Someone had to keep us, Sailors, in line. lol. I served on the U.S.S. Midway from 1971-1973.
The cameras were mounted inside the leading edge of the wings, aimed along the same axis as the guns. They were rigged to the trigger mechanism on the control stick so that when the guns were fired the camera's would be activated as well.
BadCompany 2 it is called burial at sea. these ships were out for months. no place to store those who gave everything. For a sailor it is an HONOR to be buried at sea.
+TheFunkhouser Well,maybe they were right to do so.The primary target of allied aircraft in the last two thirds of the war were enemy fighters and for this a fast firing and accurate weapon like the M2 HB was perfect.Had the enemy been bombers a 20mm loadout would have been more suitable but they weren't.The enemy on the other hand had to battle both bombers and fighters so they armed their aircraft with a mix of cannon and MG.Ironically the time when the RAF most needed cannon armed fighters was in 1940,when they were armed with 303 Brownings.The USA never had to withstand an aerial assault and therefore quite correctly went with the .50.Cannon,while more destructive were not as accurate or as fast firing as MG and when a fighter pilot had his enemy in his sights for a fraction of a second,RPM trumps destructive force.
ANTON RUDENHAM thats not totally correct. In the Battle of Britian the RAF wanted more Spits with 20mm cannon simply because they can take planes out way faster...and that why Spits always carried them after that battle. I still wonder why only a handful of US planes had them.
19 Sqn were equipped with 20mm armed Spitfire Mk1s in the initial stages of the BoB but they were very unreliable and suffered constant stoppages due to a badly designed round feed system. 19 Sqn complained mightily and were given back MG armed Spits with which they fought very well. Obviously a reliable cannon armament was what was needed but that wasn't clear to all concerned and led to a famous battle of wits between Adolf "Sailor" Malan and Douglas Bader, Bader preferred the many MGs over the fewer cannon claiming that the average pilot was a poor shot and needed something with which to hose down the enemy with many,many rounds, Malan preferred the cannon and there was an impasse. It was not until the RAF conducted firepower trials using an old Blenheim airframe as a target that the fallacy of Baders position became apparent. The cannon shells dismembered the airframe in a short burst and the MG burst just seemed to make many small holes. The reason the USAAF and USN went almost exclusively with large calibre MGs was simply because they were easily powerful enough to destroy enemy fighters which were the predominant threat by the time the USA entered the war. The USA was never going to be attacked by enemy bombers so why fit irksome cannon which are not best suited to combatting enemy fighters?
What on those ships are being hit to where the blow up so hardcore when the aircraft are shooting the guns at them ? I thought most combat ships were armored in sensitive spots.
+Dragnoxz Zanox american carrier decks were made of wood in ww2 and dont forget on the hangar deck you have high octane gasoline and ordanance the lexington was sunk by a petrol explosion despite having a CO2 fire protection system
MegaBloggs1 I know. Just one hit could end a carrier of that time. But what I am talking about are the smaller ships, or boats. The guns shooting at the metal of a destroyer or something is what I was looking at. The mid section of the island or superstructure of the ship, BOOM, just form guns. Could it be that there was a build up in pressure and gasses in the area ?
Ammunition racks for the smaller calibre AA guns were usually stored on deck near the tubs. Torpedos were stored in their launchers. Added to that, destroyers had paper thin plating so a strafing attack by fighters could still chew them up pretty bad. They were dubbed 'tin cans' for a reason.
KzDax Dang, I thought the destroyers had like an inch or two think metal hulls. Then again, a 20mm shell probably tear through that. I know modern destroyers have two inches, but dang, that still don't seem like enough. I'd be putting plat metal or ERA on my ships.
Fletcher Class WWII Destroyers had a 0.75 inch armor belt (the sides of the ship) and 0.5 inch decks I'm pretty sure. They were built light for speed and evasive maneuvering which kept them out of trouble a lot, but in close range fighting with limited maneuvering they could get shot up like swiss cheese. Cramped quarters. Rough riding. Lightly armored. Not very desirable ships to be in, but somebody had to do it back then.
+Herik77 all is see is heroes..many of whom left good jobs and family to fight a common enemy..thats ALL i can see.

......as an adult....I realise now, that the big picture puts a whole new spin on our wars. it should be common knowledge by now that these wars were not fought for the stated reasons. They were just business, designed by the super rich to put the world in debt. Sad but proven to be true. This has tarnished the shine of the soldiers.
Isn't it a trifle suspicious that the technology to cheaply colorize black and white film preceded the miraculous discovery of color films of WWII? Even gun camera film, which was black and white right through the 1950's? I don't dislike colorized films that I have seen for fifty years in black and white, but why is it necessary to lie about it?
It's likely that color film was more expensive so the Navy opted for the cheaper black and white film. We were in the middle of a war so we had to prioritize funds towards things that directly affected a battle.
There were color camera. But they were not in full usage everywhere especially in guncams. you know what milspec is? Look at NVA footage from the 60s and 70s.. all black and white
Nice to hear him say allies. Too many American documentaries... especially modern ones... tend to forget it wasn't the usa alone. In fact the usa was one of the last countries to finally start fighting the evil empires.
I guess you wouldn't. stand up and fight for this countrythat brave men and women fought and gave their parts of their body's for and some gave all. I love this country. and I just hope that their or a lot of men and women. would not hesitate. to do the same. if asked to
Awesome work done by all the crew members, not just the pilots. Sometimes they don't get the needed recognition for their effort. They are as veterans of war as any other infantry, paratroopers or pilots.
All these pilots were heroes, truly.. we owe them all.
🇺🇸♥️🗽
Dad's destroyer would be on the perimeter trying to stop the subs from sneaking in,to you and your crew job well done dad.
Why is navy battleship or carrier footage rare?
Every time I see the word “Rare” in a RUclips clip title, it just means here’s another re-cycle of the same stuff that was shown yesterday in another “rare” clip.
+MarsFKA well, its free anyway..
MarsFKA p
this was originally from the fighting lady ,seen it a hundred times, more click b8
MarsFKA
You're a rare shit head 😂😂😂😂
uuuultra thank you sir for noticing, and at risk of bringing up my grade school terminology, it takes one to know one .lol
Great respect for those who lived, fought and/or died protecting this great Nation of ours!
Great video, lots of awesome footage. A big thanks to all who served this great nation!
incredible footage. I love this channel. thanks again for sharing.
0:45 lol nice sea man
How could anyone give this a thumbs down ? Incredible video. Thx for sharing
+K Durk Maybe they are Japanese ?
K Durk
There's ALWAYS an a-hole on here.
Japanese carriers:
- Had wooden decks
- Carried their fuel on their wooden decks
- Had massive red circles painted on their decks (Bullseye)
At 4:50 peep how the whole ship glows bright red, right before that shit exploded. Imagine being on that ship?!?! Imagine how fucking loud that shit was in person 🥶 War is crazy man.
Months of boredom interrupted by 30 seconds of sheer terror.
"The Fighting Lady" with a few extras tossed in.
That guy from 7:50 walked out of the airplane like 'Mom I'm home, what's for dinner'
Great footage. Spellbinding!
7:27 dude almost get wrecked by that plane. amazing footage.
6:33
Tell this man that survived, that some football players refuse to stand for the National Anthem.
Really? Egyptian people are killed?
And you are a dumb brainwashed idiot. You need to be a better student of America's involvement in World War ii. By a comment like that you nothing!
My reply was to idiot Ary Himawan
Ary Himawan that's right. Keep doing your part to continue the cycle of violence and hate.
Where does our National Anthem celebrate the killing of Moroccan, Algerian and South Africans? I can't find that.
The earth is flat and stationary good video
please GOD, this will never happen again
awsome video, thanks for sharing

Have done a "Thank You Sir For Your Service" for years...
It really depended on what the banks wanted to do.not some brainwashed draftee.
init wake up, people have to be real dumb to fall for that propaganda shit
Carlospicywiener --- shut up idiot
The sad part is I rarely see any WWII Vets anymore.
The mechanics on the aircraft carrier must be doing a hark work to repair those fighter planes.
Carriers were not all Sailors, There were a lot of marines serving as well on carriers. Someone had to keep us, Sailors, in line. lol. I served on the U.S.S. Midway from 1971-1973.
THATS a landing!!!💪🏽
Theres no point in posting rare color footage if you're going to post it in a trash resolution
Quality video
Truely amazing
wow that was great thanx
A ship is a big target and its awfully small when you are attacked from the air.
It's Kodak Aerocolor. I wish they would sell it to civilians.
I think some of those were the support vessels (merchant ships) that exploded probably punched thru the deck and hit the cargo hold
I think you're right about that
Amazing the lack of overweight sailors back then. Nowdays? Wow! Times really have changed!
Awesome
GOOD SHOW
6:30 Sorry but that's oil not blood all over the windshield.
Didn't know WW2 planes had gro-pros attached to the exterior of the planes, where was the camera mounted on the attacking aircraft?
The cameras were mounted inside the leading edge of the wings, aimed along the same axis as the guns. They were rigged to the trigger mechanism on the control stick so that when the guns were fired the camera's would be activated as well.
Bueno film. Cause for thought.
I wonder who was the pilot who had been wounded and removed form his landed aircraft aboard the carrier at 6:46
Look at all those football players fighting for us, I will take a knee now.
What is the background music?
8:27 ♥️🖤
Except the US has cracked the Japanese codes so there wasn’t too many surprises at the admiral level.
no le entendi ni vergas pero se ve muy buen video jeje
8:22 So wait they throw the dead bodies of their buddies over board??? What the fuck.
BadCompany 2 it is called burial at sea. these ships were out for months. no place to store those who gave everything. For a sailor it is an HONOR to be buried at sea.
anyone know the ending melody?
Ive always wondered why the USAF and USMC, USN never used the way more deadly 20mm cannon round over the 50cal? O_o
+TheFunkhouser They did?
Little Jimmy
Well.. in very few in the very later part, but the 50cal was the main-stay main shooter
+TheFunkhouser Well,maybe they were right to do so.The primary target of allied aircraft in the last two thirds of the war were enemy fighters and for this a fast firing and accurate weapon like the M2 HB was perfect.Had the enemy been bombers a 20mm loadout would have been more suitable but they weren't.The enemy on the other hand had to battle both bombers and fighters so they armed their aircraft with a mix of cannon and MG.Ironically the time when the RAF most needed cannon armed fighters was in 1940,when they were armed with 303 Brownings.The USA never had to withstand an aerial assault and therefore quite correctly went with the .50.Cannon,while more destructive were not as accurate or as fast firing as MG and when a fighter pilot had his enemy in his sights for a fraction of a second,RPM trumps destructive force.

can somebody send me a link to the list of all Aircraft carrier of WWII ?
It is amazing how fat those boys weren't. Active lifestyle I guess.
6:19 and 7:49 Nice crash landing.
*War Thunder* =D
I though Hellcat's tail was stronger hehe

Looks like rejected footage or terrible scans from old TV equipment like telecine. 16mm film is a lot sharper than this.
unleash the Hellcats
🇺🇸🦾🗽 home of the brave
Are they threw the dead body to ocean in the last clip???!!
typically they are buried at sea, if they are killed on a ship.
yeah..live at sea and die too
4:24 Anyone know what munitions exploded there?
A small boat like that (coastal patrol craft) often carried mines or depth charges depending on whatever particular mission they were assigned.
All i can see is poor kids..
+Herik77 all is see is heroes..many of whom left good jobs and family to fight a common enemy..thats ALL i can see.

Jeez, too bad you cant kill a ship in War Thunder with machine guns...

It's really saying something that this is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I've ever seen.
too much testosteron
How a machine gun can destroys a ship ?
+Rafael Corujo
canon shells explode and cargo ships aren't armored much, if at all. If its cargo is fuel or ammunition, boom.
Those may actually be .50 cal MGs; they have no problem going through light armored ships.
G'day,
Shooting, at the Heavens, to appease the Godtheory ; when the Militaristic Warriorists have turned themselves into Compost...!

Ciao !
Nice to hear him say allies. Too many American documentaries... especially modern ones... tend to forget it wasn't the usa alone. In fact the usa was one of the last countries to finally start fighting the evil empires.
Yesim real Japanese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck, the speaker sounds so like Donald Trump. It can't be him i suppose, but still I had a little shock there xd
And copied via waffle iron.
Not rare colour footage at all. Just more fake-colourised film.
I guess you wouldn't. stand up and fight for this countrythat brave men and women fought and gave their parts of their body's for and some gave all. I love this country. and I just hope that their or a lot of men and women. would not hesitate. to do the same. if asked to
