@@Teddyponsel2626 if he wouldve turned off the engine before landing, yes. But he didnt, so that engine is fucked tbh, the force of an active propeller hitting something really solid just makes it way way worse. If it was off, it was just bend the propeller and do nothing to any internals, so you'd just replace that, fix the bottom panels, and fix the landing gear and itd be ready to fly again. I don't blame him for not turning it off tho, i doubt the thing on his mind is how much is this gonna cost to fix or how long. A channel called 74 gear talked about a video how a prop planes landing gear wouldnt retract, n he was smart enough to turn the engine off before landing to save the innards of the plane, n talked about the damage it would cause if he didnt. Wish i knew the exact video or oxact information but it was awhile ago
Ufos are typically very far away. Also, Try filming the moon with your phone zoomed way in...it's hard. Now imagine that the object is moving. It's extremely difficult.

My grandfather was a 22 year old rear seat gunner. He believed he was taking his last ride many times and he did it with a smile to try to keep up morale of others and fool the others to believe he was not afraid. He bobbed in the ocean overnight and was rescued by sub after he had ditched with his pilot who did not survive. Look at these champions, every man you see is willingly risking his life while also terrified. Greatest generation? You damn straight

That's one belly landing for the textbooks. He lost his hydraulics for some reason, therefore had no landing gear and no flaps. The lack of flaps means, he had to perform that belly landing with an approach speed that he had never practiced and he still managed to do it perfectly. The rescue crew showed an amazing performance too. Cooling the hot engine is vital for the whole ship and every single soul on board. Usually there is damaged fuel piping after such an impact.

I mean I get it, some people just wanna gas up and go but was it really so many people that service stations were no longer viable or profitable??

Why would anybody stop using them and instead pump their own gas and NOT have a tune-up??? It just doesn't make sense
@@youreabigguycrack happened. You had to pay for those services. You could pull up and they ask first if you would like this or that- there are still 2 that do this where I live.

Ppl couldn't kno if it was an actual attendant or the junkies and would just keep driving and not even stop, so the stations gave up. Lol sounds possible but also sounds ludicrous but thats the way the old guy that owns one of the stations around here😂
@@CompoundedTroubles holy shit... That makes so much sense 🤣🤣🤣 That is really unfortunate. Because this combined with less people being able to afford these services, less people opting for these services, car is not even being built to last in the first place anymore and an incentive for them to not have easy opportunities for regular maintenance and service, I could absolutely see this being "the final nail in the coffin"
My dad was on the USS Yorktown and in the movie they show actual footage of a plane crashing on the deck and my dad is one of them putting out the fire. He was a CPO.
This is easily one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. A video from that time with people doing what they’re doing and it being so clear, mind blowing
These young men were so selfless and brave. I know they'd say they were just doing their jobs, but still, they're heroes to me. Colorizing makes them even human.
@@HowIsTheCraic I never said it did. All I said is that AI in this case just enhances and restores already existing material. The footage is real AI only upscaled it by filling in the gaps and brought it out as it would have been had it been captured by modern day equipment
Evidently, this Hellcat was so damaged that the landing gear could not be lowered. Of all possible outcomes, this was the best. Ditching in the sea was always a dangerous option, even in an aircraft like the F6F, which had floatation spaces to prevent rapid sinking. Ditched planes could flip or roll, killing the pilot in the process. Bellying in on a carrier deck usually saved the pilot and sometimes the aircraft itself to be repaired and flown again or be stripped for spares. The British were so impressed with the Grumman's ability to belly land and come back to fight within days led to post-war experiments regarding belly landing carrier-based jets as standard procedure.
My great-uncle tried to land his hellcat but was so badly shot up it rolled right as he got to the deck and landed in the drink, he was able to get out and sat on top and watched the carrier sail away. A destroyer picked him up and traded him back to the carrier for 12 gallons of ice cream
They probably didn't repair it. From my understanding, standard practice after a landing like this one was to push the airframe overboard once the pilot was extracted and potential fires put out. They've already saved the only irreplaceable piece on the whole airplane, and even getting it into the hangars to work on it would hold up deck operations for far too long, while you still possibly need to be recovering/launching airplanes.
yea pretty cool stuff actually, now we can use AI to generate frames in between the frames actually recorded by the camera. The result is this buttery WW2 footage
That just shows you how well those things were made back then! Even though it had problems, he still made it all the way to the aircraft carrier! Those pilots back then had HUGE balls of steel!!!
@@guywholikesplanes yea modern war planes are not design to safely land cause that cost them speed and turn speed in a real combat, alse at those speed you cant have the old design cause the wing structure and form of those planes cant support modern planes speed they would just brake.
These were very brave young men who jumped onto the wing to rescue the pilot. There was great danger from fire in many of these cases. The aircraft involved was a Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat, the best fighter in the Pacific theater. The white "dot" on the tail indicates this plane to be part of Air Group 11, onboard USS Hornet (CV-12).
And crazy to think that at some point in someone’s life, they saw this ALL THE TIME. No wonder they were so cool and collected during it. Those are great men.
@@Andrew-ci9xvu ain’t worth a percent of that man in that video or any ww2 vet for that fact, nor ur call of duty marine private buddy’s who was in the infantry
@@BurnerAckman Probably yes? For the US, pilots were valuable assets. They will rotate the pilots & let the experienced one to train the rookie. Unless you're under IJN, then the Japs will just forced you to fight to your death. 💀💀💀
Those men had balls of steel! Oh what a gift it was to sit at my Papas feet & listen to his war stories when he felt like sharing them. The writer in me desperately wishes i’d taken notes, but I was far too captivated at the time & wouldn’t have wanted to divide my attention. God bless our veterans. 😊
I love seeing old war footage in color. And they're getting so good with the quality now. This video is as close to HD as you can get for footage that's almost 80 years old. The Grumman Hellcat was a beast of a warbird. It pretty much won back the Pacific more than any other Navy fighter.
Not saying this is the case here, but a lot of film is actually very high resolution so you if have the actual physical media film you can pull a very high quality transfer from it. This is why movies that were made over a hundred years ago can have an HD release on bluray for example.
Because dudes are basically crash landing a aluminum tractor on a boat in the middle of a freaking ocean maybe?😅 No computer's. Just ingenuity. Old school tech mannnn
They didn’t seem to have much of a choice at the time... But compared to how society is today, it is pretty amazing to look back and see just how much can be accomplished when we work together to achieve a common goal.
I literally have been watching shorts all day and this is by far the best short that I've came across yet real authentic footage from 1944 world war II or are you kidding me
I've never even been to the UK or on a plane, but from what I've heard about Ryanair is that this guy was just doing the training landing that's standard for the airline.
Where did you hear this?... 😢 My age-long phrase... This is is how I speak it, "Any Landing you can walk away from is a good one." The same thing... Said differently though.
gonna reply here , yea the CO2 wand makes more sense than water.. It could prevent the fire and also put it out without all the damage it could cause to use water doing it in case the plane was able to be salvaged. Didnt think they would have the ability on ship to make this. Or i guess it could have been made on shore and transported. In the Marines we had a building called a SCIF (secure classified information facility) that had a HALON supression system.
In an old film clip I watched a Hellcat come in on a carrier, the plane was so shot up that when his arresting hook caught the cable, the plane broke in half behind the cockpit.
I've watched the original clip hundreds of times over the years and the addition of sound really brings this footage to life and adds the gravity missing in the silent original. Amazing.
My dad served in the US navy 29 years, my grand nephew now serving on the Harry Truman. What's amazing is most of the responding crew are 19 to 24 years old. Trying to get a 29 year old to responsibly maintain the car given to them by their grandparents
Just great to see everyone working together- a team - and the concern for the pilot’s safety, even while risking their own safety… The guys quickly take off their fire hoods to be better able to assist.
@@zawadlttvhat is not true…. Those are fucking war ships made of steal they would be terrible war ships if one plane caught fire and the whole thing did. Have you seen old war ships and the damage they can take? It’s incredible kamikaze would smash there plane right into unless it was a good hit it often wouldn’t destroy the ship unless it hit stockpile of ammo or fuel. Unless there washing the boat in gasoline it would be okay. There actual footage of burning planes landing on aircraft carriers plenty actually.

This actually a pretty common situation since it was quite common for the landing gear to stick, break or just get completely torn off during flights and takeoff.
This is very nice work. As a published WW2 aviation historian, you have used your enhancements to give a "realistic" experience of the events. One very minor point, however - you reversed the national insigtnia on the SBD wings.
To fuck themselves, others and the whole world. They were also really close to fucking up Earth itself making it inhabitable for thousands of years to come over what- some land?
No it isn’t, this footage was captured on reel which is naturally a higher resolution than the average digital camera. Your smartphone camera wasn’t designed to be for professional use anyways. Maybe go watch a few vids on how professional digital cameras work.
Just goes to show you how advanced the government really is. They had this quality so many years before the public did, imagine how advanced it is for them today. We won't get to see what they have now for another 50 years 😂
It's the camera itself, obviously the sound equipment was almost non existent back then . All the muffled noises you hear are a very hollow version of the sounds.
Had to watch it a couple times to be sure, but notice how as soon as he makes contact with the deck he immediately kicks full right rudder to use that last little bit of airspeed to initiate a slide and keep it from going over the left side of the deck, that’s just fkn awesome to me for some reason.
Good catch. And he waits to make contact first because if he did it too early the plane would turn and might miss the deck entirely. I wonder if that was trained or just good instincts.
You’re reading too much into it. It was still going straight until it got caught on the cable. Then the cable got its slack pulled out and it jerked to a stop. That’s all that happened 😂😂
My father in law at a scrappy 5’ 6” joined the army, was shipped over to the Philippines , became a gunners mate and served out his deployment on a navy ship. Until the day he died at 94 he, when talking about the war would always say “ I didn’t sign up for no darn navy” my hero!

This production resurrecting old footage is just astounding. I felt like I was living it. But I was born two years later. It’s positively eerie.

@@CompoundedTroubles holy shit... That makes so much sense 🤣🤣🤣
That is really unfortunate. Because this combined with less people being able to afford these services, less people opting for these services, car is not even being built to last in the first place anymore and an incentive for them to not have easy opportunities for regular maintenance and service, I could absolutely see this being "the final nail in the coffin"

@@HowIsTheCraic I never said it did. All I said is that AI in this case just enhances and restores already existing material. The footage is real AI only upscaled it by filling in the gaps and brought it out as it would have been had it been captured by modern day equipment
This footage is unbelievable. I'm so glad we can restore to this quality now. This is amazing to watch.
Plane: we ain't gonna make it.
Pilot: I got this.
Evidently, this Hellcat was so damaged that the landing gear could not be lowered. Of all possible outcomes, this was the best. Ditching in the sea was always a dangerous option, even in an aircraft like the F6F, which had floatation spaces to prevent rapid sinking. Ditched planes could flip or roll, killing the pilot in the process. Bellying in on a carrier deck usually saved the pilot and sometimes the aircraft itself to be repaired and flown again or be stripped for spares. The British were so impressed with the Grumman's ability to belly land and come back to fight within days led to post-war experiments regarding belly landing carrier-based jets as standard
procedure.
My great-uncle tried to land his hellcat but was so badly shot up it rolled right as he got to the deck and landed in the drink, he was able to get out and sat on top and watched the carrier sail away. A destroyer picked him up and traded him back to the carrier for 12 gallons of ice cream
@@RavenAtYourWindowthat's some crazy shit lol
Plus, the force of the water could tear it to pieces.
They probably didn't repair it. From my understanding, standard practice after a landing like this one was to push the airframe overboard once the pilot was extracted and potential fires put out. They've already saved the only irreplaceable piece on the whole airplane, and even getting it into the hangars to work on it would hold up deck operations for far too long, while you still possibly need to be recovering/launching airplanes.
The belly landing of early fighter jets on carriers was undertaken by Eric Brown as an experiment to save the weight of landing gear.
The quality of video is amazing. I didnt know we could restore footage like this.

That just shows you how well those things were made back then! Even though it had problems, he still made it all the way to the aircraft carrier! Those pilots back then had HUGE balls of steel!!!
Damn those planes were built sturdy
It probably just shows how truly skilled the pilot was.
The design of the old planes make them better to fly in low speeds as they wings are made so the plane stays stable and up with natural forces
Well, any (civillian) plane that has retractable landing gear is designed to be able to safely land on it's belly.
@@guywholikesplanes yea modern war planes are not design to safely land cause that cost them speed and turn speed in a real combat, alse at those speed you cant have the old design cause the wing structure and form of those planes cant support modern planes speed they would just brake.
These were very brave young men who jumped onto the wing to rescue the pilot. There was great danger from fire in many of these cases. The aircraft involved was a Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat, the best fighter in the Pacific theater. The white "dot" on the tail indicates this plane to be part of Air Group 11, onboard USS Hornet (CV-12).

One should remember that the aircraft is much easier to replace then the pilot.
They had extra aircraft below deck if he needed to go back up. That aircraft probably was repaired and ready to go by the next morning.
And crazy to think that at some point in someone’s life, they saw this ALL THE TIME. No wonder they were so cool and collected during it. Those are great men.

Considering his landing was either lost in a dogfight or malfunctioned(also probably from a dogfight) I’d say yeah, he did.
This is actually insane to have footage of this with such good quality nearly 80 years after this event occurred. Cheers to the camera company.
it was enhanced with AI
Not saying this is the case here, but a lot of film is actually very high resolution so you if have the actual physical media film you can pull a very high quality transfer from it. This is why movies that were made over a hundred years ago can have an HD release on bluray for example.

The fire suppression gear they use to put the water /foam whatever it is into the engine cowling area is genius. They had this down to an art
I believe it was Carbon Dioxide.
With the utmost courage!
CO2 wand I believe!
The US really knew what they were doing pretty quickly during the war. They adapted much faster than even the Germans.
gonna reply here , yea the CO2 wand makes more sense than water.. It could prevent the fire and also put it out without all the damage it could cause to use water doing it in case the plane was able to be salvaged. Didnt think they would have the ability on ship to make this. Or i guess it could have been made on shore and transported. In the Marines we had a building called a SCIF (secure classified information facility) that had a HALON supression system.
I love the sound design on these types of vids!
