looking at the history of a lot of hte US bombers it was a lot more common. take the catalina's used for coastal work, a lot of times unless you broke the spine or managed to rip a wing off those things could take hellish amounts of punishment. even losing engines was more inconvenient assuming you had proper air speed, due to its desire to try to pull up without the engines pushing it forward, meant you had to ride the controls to make it glide down properly
If I remember correctly, the B-17 was the "Flying Fortress" while the B-24 was the "Flying Coffin" due to its boxy shape, and don't quote me on this but I think they had a higher loss rate but I could very well be wrong
@@cameronfinnie9706 The original history video I saw as a kid said B-17s got renamed flying coffins due to the high casualties; of that, I'm certain. However, it was an old VHS documentary and could have contained misinformation. Edit: We're both right. Both plane types were called that in different contexts.
I got to tour a B-17. The one I toured was the one that crashed at Bradley International Airport, Windsor Locks, Connecticut on October 2, 2019. Sadly there were 7 deaths. At the time I toured at my airport they were still providing rides on it. I almost did take a ride.

1:37 Nice simulation but with two engines gone, the rest of the planes in formation would have passed the stricken bomber in seconds and left it behind, but we see it keeping pace with the formation 1:52 like nothing happened.
It was the lead plane so the other aircraft would have been adjusting velocity to stay in formation with the stricken bomber, up until they radioed that they can't stay in the air and needed a new plane to take over. Just watched the scene where they break formation again and you can even see the next plane they radioed speed up right away to take the lead position. The whole formation likely would have increased speed after this maneuver was completed.

My son’s grandfather, Frank Casto, flew B-17’s as a pilot in the 99th Bombardment Group out of north Africa. They used to name their engines after wives or girlfriends. He named the engine closest to him “Janey” after his wife. My ex-wife, had a picture of him standing under the wing with her mother’s name on it.
Raids over Germany were considerably more dangerous than raids over Japan. The first reason is because the anti-air defenses the Japanese had were basically primitive in nature. The second was the quality and lethality of German aircraft and their pilots.
They are lucky the plane stayed straight and level with so much damage. Bailing out would have been nearly impossible if it went down in a death spiral. I'm surprised that burning wing didn't rip off.
The last 3 or 4 episodes were good. The first 6-7 were boring. And twenty years after Band of Brothers, I can still name you the characters and actors names. I have no idea what the names of the characters were in masters of the air. I remember cringing when the one pilot showed up to the prison camp and the main character who played Elvis was waiting for him with his Hollywood hair and wearing his pilot cap cocked to the side. I remember saying “he managed to keep his hat after bailing out of a burning airplane?”
The names, That might have been the idea. My Dad was a replacement crew copilot in WWII, they only lasted 3 missions. Not much time to make friends, and like the show, the old timers would avoid them. I know what you mean about the arrival at the POW camp. something else not addressed in the camps, lice!

Normally the guy in the lefthand seat is the lead pilot and plane commander, but in this particular case the co-pilot on the right was bumped out of his seat by a senior officer who was flying as the mission commander. The pilot on the left would still be the one primarily flying the plane, while the mission commander on the right would concentrate on the progress of the mission and what all the aircraft under his command were doing. But if everything falls apart and their focus shifts to saving the plane and the crew the mission commander, who is the senior officer on board and a very experienced pilot in his own right, can take over flying the plane as they show here.
@@joebrand5946 I forgot to mention that this clip also shows how after the plane is seriously damaged the mission commander in the right seat gets on the radio and relinquishes command to his deputy commander in another aircraft. No longer in charge of the formation, he then exercises his prerogative to take over flying the airplane and trying to make it across the Oder River to the Russian (Soviet) side of the front.
What’s with the rockets being fired at the aircraft? I’m guessing they are meant to represent some of the early radio controlled missiles developed by Germany late in the war but I thought they wherent fielded?
The Germans did have unguided rockets that they would fire from off in the distance - check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werfer-Granate_21 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R4M.
the germans had 21 cm ( about 8 inch) rockets used to break up bomber formations uusally 2 per plane and while not very accurate they had a large explosive charge that meant they didnt need to actually hit a Bomber to cause it some damage. But an actual direct hit would be annihilation I'd guess
I think its either just a mistake because it could be an air to air missile, just like later in the series, but it could also be a surface to air missile. If I’m not mistaking, there were some prototypes of Sam’s so yeah could be some like that or just as the other person said Fliegerfaust.
My grade 11 English teacher saw his parents and sister hauled away to a concentration camp never to see them again. He witnessed a young mother severely beaten because she would not let go of her child. He was almost dead when they liberated his camp. So many murders around him My father was at Juno on the day after the initial landings. He had to see friends dead on the beach. He talked once about having to climb over bodies to get around during battles. So many unnecessary deaths. So tell me again how bad it was for your mother because of these Allied carpet bombings. The bombings that diverted massive German resources from these camps and battles.
@@stanburk7392I've read that Germany ended up having to spend one-third of its GDP on air defense during World War II, so I think your argument is a valid one. The Allied area bombing, which was done primarily by the British at night, was pretty brutal, though.
@@stanburk7392 The war was horrible for everyone. Denigrating what others went through is asinine. Who are you going to blame? Hitler? Yeah - he got a lot of people killed but - Hitler was only in power because of the Versailles Peace Treaty - forced on Germany by the British and the French - that had Germany paying for WWI. Germany didn't finish paying off it's WWI War Reparations - until 2010. But - who started WWI? Serbia Started WWI. They sent terrorists to Sara Jevo to kill the Heir to the Austrian Throne - and Austria justifiably attacked them for doing it. Then the Russians, who saw themselves as Defender of the Slavs got into it - and Germany got pulled in because it was an Austrian Ally. Then France got pulled in because it was a Russian Ally. Then the Germans went through Belgium and brought the British in. Britain Blockaded them - so they tried to blockade Britain with their Submarines - and that brought the Americans in. The Allies won WWI - and Serbia got Yugoslavia - which is what it wanted. So the power that caused the World Wars - one causing the other - won what it wanted. So - blame Serbia if you want to blame someone - they're the ones who started this whole chain of events. Of course Yugoslavia disintegrated when Tito died so in the end no one won - at least not permanently. The Western powers tend to blame the Americans for showing up late - but after watching the Europeans kill each other for a few hundred years - they were reluctant. We had a Cold War for about 50 years until the Soviet Union Collapsed - but now -we've got Putin trying to put back together the "Greater Russia" he grew up with. The Average Person has little to say in any of this. Things come along and crush them into bloody pulp regardless of whose side they're on. So - don't be an ass hole. Everybody suffered. Did I mention Asia? Millions of dead there, before, during and after WWII. And of course - this is just the last few hundred years or so - when this shit has been going on since the Dawn of Time. Do you know why people kill each other? Because they can. .
@@ronaldvrooman9695 There is no denying it was brutal and even if someone could prove beyond all doubt that it was not necessary and did nothing to win the war that's hindsight. Japan should have made sure the carriers were in port before attacking. Germany should not have put so many resources into killing Jews and used them as a work force. Near the end of the war resources were actually diverted to concentration camps for the purpose of killing more undesirables. If the USA would have gone ahead with Kelly Johnson's L133 they would not only have had the first jet fighter but by far the most lethal. Check out the L133 is very cool and advanced looking.
@@stanburk7392 Your answer is war propaganda. 70000 french civilians were killed by the USAAF and Bomber Command. These aviations are the aviations which killed the largest number of childrens in the hustory.. 30000 french prisonners were killed by the allied bombings in Germany...
My grandpa was part of the mighty 8th out of, pilot b17gLavenham twice his plane got banged up twice both times when bombs were just released. First time bombs release, flathead one of the bombs right now goes up to the plane blows out all the hydraulics so he has no brakes to stop on landing so he’s coming in hot blows past the ambulance waiting for crewmembers starts barreling down towards the cliff that leads to town, and only thing that stopped him was a huge mud puddle from the rain the day before which broke his left landing gear and broke off his wing so after repairs, he had a green plane with the silver wing. The second time was not the greatest they were over Berlin same thing bombs away flak hits bomb bomb shoots shrapnel up into the plane this time it caught one of the crewmembers spun them like a top hit him in the arm and the back, but they did not realize until after they he was hit the back and my grandpa had stabilized his crewmember and then when they landed, they dragged the crewmember out. Doc said had they not landed when they did a couple minutes later he he would have been dead There was just a streak of blood what they had not realize that there was shrapnel on his back, and the guy lost his arm from the elbow down, and his name was Vince and unfortunately was out for the rest of the war, but later on in life, Vince actually died in a P51 ride along accident in 2018. Which is crazy survived World War II, but dies in a plane crash and nonetheless 60 some odd years later.
Unguided precision rockets make zero sense for ground-to-air defense, especially in this context. You'd need a direct hit at a "tiny" target 15-30km away from you. Flak was already hardly effective, and that covers a lot of ground... well, air. And I doubt any sane pilot would shoot rockets at a plane from the front and below. The only thing that makes sense in this context are R4M rockets, but then (apparently) they were meant to be fired in four salvos of six rockets, so two stray ones (especially in this trajectory) hardly make sense at all I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong here, but as far as I can see, that's completely non-historic
@@yenchey3270unguided rockets were carried by larger German aircraft like the Messerschmitt 110. They were volley fired into large bomber formations in hopes of hitting something. They were not very effective.
Me in war thunder: my wing would be ripped off, engines on fire,tail almost loose,gunners dead,over enemy territory with like two aaa and like two bf 109s Edit:I would also have no elevator control Edit 2:in case y’all wanna play some battles just comment ur username cuz my username is Xanni81
Classic war thunder. At least you probably kill some german players often. Most of the times i see multiple 109s and 190s just stationary behind a b17 getting retk. As a german 109 main its rather frustrating ahahahah B 17s should be more sturdy in War Thunder tho.
Why? You don’t think they aimed for the fucking front where they would stand a chance of running into allied troops? Especially at this point in the war…the Germans were not taking prisoners anymore
It's actually a pretty direct translation to the screen from the description of the mission in Miller's book. Many truly amazing things happened in the war (and there must have been many many more things that didn't go well).
Change the Title of this Show from * Master of the Air to Master of the POW Camp * majority of Character and Episodes of the Show is how they been Shot Down , Captured and Transported in POW Camps and there daily life in the Camps.😂😂😂
@@alanholloway1264 they didn’t have r4m until the times they were running 262s in the air, they had much less accurate, plane performance killing rocket pods as an early solution
And some of the BS they could only get away with after the actual airman died. Like the one guy getting back from a German POW camp and flying a couple more missions. There is no way in hell that would have happened.
Indeed - in the book on which this series is based, it is specifically stated that nobody who managed to return from mainland Europe after bailing out ever flew again. This was to prevent the revelation of names and locations on the route home being revealed under interrogation if they ever had to bail out again.
Didn’t that limit apply only to those shot down over occupied Europe and helped to escape by the local resistance movements? Not airmen like Buck Cleven, who was shot down over Germany itself, escaped from captivity inside Germany and reached allied lines inside Germany. So he never met any resistance members or agents who he could then compromise if shot down again.
@@scriptsmith4081. Chuck Yeager was not in a POW camp for a year. There is no way a guy is out of a complicated machine like a B-17 for a year and just jumps back in.
The amount of people complaining about civilian deaths from the bombing is insane when only around 1 million German and Japanese died as a result yet 12 million civilians died as a result of both of their war crimes.
@@Liyaba-zl9neyou’re either a bot, a postmodernist who no longer sees the wood for the trees or the type of apologist who would rather we were doing na zi salutes. You may even love the latter and be camouflaged
The Luftwaffe used unguided rockets against daylight bomber formations - not very successfully as aiming was problematic, but aircraft were lost to them. Due to the large size of the missiles (90 lb warhead in the case of the WG21), any hit was usually devastating. Also, towards the end of the war, they experimented (unsuccessfully) with wire-guided air-to-air missiles.
@@jackaubrey8614 what I'm saying is that the rocket was perfectly guided, even it curved directly into the nose and engine. I don't think that's unguided
terrible cgi and acting on appletv, was expecting more of a band of brothers / the pacific type of quality series. Would be nice to have a really high quality eastern front series land sea and air
"I hate accurate stories that created what are now considered cliche" If it actually happened it cant be cliche. Band of brothers is extremely cliche by your own bullshit standard
@@andrewdewit4711 did you not read my comment? Or are you just hating to hate? The story does no such thing lmao. It follows what actually happened. Just like in Band of brothers. Sorry you think reality is cliche
You probably don't need to watch the series to get the feel for what those airmen went through. Watching Memphis Belle from the 90s was enough for me, and it looked so much more realistic than this CGI shitshow, and with better acting.
Aviation still uses Nautical Terms. Sides are still Port and Starboard. Airspeed is still in Knots (Nautical Miles per Hour), to coincide with Navigation using Latitude and Longitude.

@@santigaru40 imho, due to 'cinematic effects' only. As far as I know, in 1945 Germans had wire-guided AA-rockets, but of course these couldn't be used in 1943-44
It must have been a tough decision to have everyone wear the oxygen masks - i know you should know the position but I can bet its had negative effect on connecting with the on screen characters. I find myself with 0 desire to rewatch this series. I like this more than the pacific, but this is not in same league as BoB.
They wear the masks a lot less than they did in real life, and they have a lot more exposed skin than they had in real life - there's some photos in Miller's book of the waist gunners - not a single square of exposed skin.
did some digging and i think it was Rheintochter, i might be wrong bcs im not a historian, there were some prototypes but it was cancelled on 6 feb 1945

The Germans did have unguided rockets that they would fire from off in the distance - check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werfer-Granate_21 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R4M.
the germans had 21 cm ( about 8 inch) rockets used to break up bomber formations uusally 2 per plane and while not very accurate they had a large explosive charge that meant they didnt need to actually hit a Bomber to cause it some damage. But an actual direct hit would be annihilation I'd guess
ground launched as far as I know
Wasserfall ground to air missiles were not ready by war's end. A "Luft 46" fantasy.

Wasserfall rockets are "Luft '46" fantasies. This fantasy exists most predominantly amongst Americans- strangely enough. Those evil nazi scientists!
Same question
Flieger-Faust
I think its either just a mistake because it could be an air to air missile, just like later in the series, but it could also be a surface to air missile. If I’m not mistaking, there were some prototypes of Sam’s so yeah could be some like that or just as the other person said Fliegerfaust.
Horror undersight. My mother was terrified by allied carpet bombings. So many deaths around her....
My grade 11 English teacher saw his parents and sister hauled away to a concentration camp never to see them again. He witnessed a young mother severely beaten because she would not let go of her child. He was almost dead when they liberated his camp. So many murders around him My father was at Juno on the day after the initial landings. He had to see friends dead on the beach. He talked once about having to climb over bodies to get around during battles. So many unnecessary deaths. So tell me again how bad it was for your mother because of these Allied carpet bombings. The bombings that diverted massive German resources from these camps and battles.
@@stanburk7392I've read that Germany ended up having to spend one-third of its GDP on air defense during World War II, so I think your argument is a valid one. The Allied area bombing, which was done primarily by the British at night, was pretty brutal, though.
@@stanburk7392 The war was horrible for everyone. Denigrating what others went through is asinine.
Who are you going to blame?
Hitler?
Yeah - he got a lot of people killed but - Hitler was only in power because of the Versailles Peace Treaty - forced on Germany by the British and the French - that had Germany paying for WWI. Germany didn't finish paying off it's WWI War Reparations - until 2010.
But - who started WWI?
Serbia Started WWI. They sent terrorists to Sara Jevo to kill the Heir to the Austrian Throne - and Austria justifiably attacked them for doing it. Then the Russians, who saw themselves as Defender of the Slavs got into it - and Germany got pulled in because it was an Austrian Ally. Then France got pulled in because it was a Russian Ally. Then the Germans went through Belgium and brought the British in. Britain Blockaded them - so they tried to blockade Britain with their Submarines - and that brought the Americans in.
The Allies won WWI - and Serbia got Yugoslavia - which is what it wanted. So the power that caused the World Wars - one causing the other - won what it wanted.
So - blame Serbia if you want to blame someone - they're the ones who started this whole chain of events.
Of course Yugoslavia disintegrated when Tito died so in the end no one won - at least not permanently.
The Western powers tend to blame the Americans for showing up late - but after watching the Europeans kill each other for a few hundred years - they were reluctant.
We had a Cold War for about 50 years until the Soviet Union Collapsed - but now -we've got Putin trying to put back together the "Greater Russia" he grew up with.
The Average Person has little to say in any of this. Things come along and crush them into bloody pulp regardless of whose side they're on.
So - don't be an ass hole. Everybody suffered.
Did I mention Asia? Millions of dead there, before, during and after WWII.
And of course - this is just the last few hundred years or so - when this shit has been going on since the Dawn of Time.
Do you know why people kill each other?
Because they can.

There is no denying it was brutal and even if someone could prove beyond all doubt that it was not necessary and did nothing to win the war that's hindsight.
Japan should have made sure the carriers were in port before attacking.
Germany should not have put so many resources into killing Jews and used them as a work force. Near the end of the war resources were actually diverted to concentration camps for the purpose of killing more undesirables.
If the USA would have gone ahead with Kelly Johnson's L133 they would not only have had the first jet fighter but by far the most lethal. Check out the L133 is very cool and advanced looking.
@@stanburk7392 Your answer is war propaganda. 70000 french civilians were killed by the USAAF and Bomber Command. These aviations are the aviations which killed the largest number of childrens in the hustory.. 30000 french prisonners were killed by the allied bombings in Germany...

My grandpa was part of the mighty 8th out of, pilot b17gLavenham twice his plane got banged up twice both times when bombs were just released. First time bombs release, flathead one of the bombs right now goes up to the plane blows out all the hydraulics so he has no brakes to stop on landing so he’s coming in hot blows past the ambulance waiting for crewmembers starts barreling down towards the cliff that leads to town, and only thing that stopped him was a huge mud puddle from the rain the day before which broke his left landing gear and broke off his wing so after repairs, he had a green plane with the silver wing. The second time was not the greatest they were over Berlin same thing bombs away flak hits bomb bomb shoots shrapnel up into the plane this time it caught one of the crewmembers spun them like a top hit him in the arm and the back, but they did not realize until after they he was hit the back and my grandpa had stabilized his crewmember and then when they landed, they dragged the crewmember out. Doc said had they not landed when they did a couple minutes later he he would have been dead There was just a streak of blood what they had not realize that there was shrapnel on his back, and the guy lost his arm from the elbow down, and his name was Vince and unfortunately was out for the rest of the war, but later on in life, Vince actually died in a P51 ride along accident in 2018. Which is crazy survived World War II, but dies in a plane crash and nonetheless 60 some odd years later.

Rockets? ROCKETS?? Dude, WHAT???
I'm aware they mounted unguided rockets to some of their fighters, but that shit's coming up from below
It looked rockit-y and not like AA, I was Confused too
Unguided precision rockets make zero sense for ground-to-air defense, especially in this context. You'd need a direct hit at a "tiny" target 15-30km away from you. Flak was already hardly effective, and that covers a lot of ground... well, air. And I doubt any sane pilot would shoot rockets at a plane from the front and below. The only thing that makes sense in this context are R4M rockets, but then (apparently) they were meant to be fired in four salvos of six rockets, so two stray ones (especially in this trajectory) hardly make sense at all
I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong here, but as far as I can see, that's completely non-historic
@@yenchey3270unguided rockets were carried by larger German aircraft like the Messerschmitt 110.
They were volley fired into large bomber formations in hopes of hitting something.

Masters of the Air.

Im see the series is perfect
I stopped watching this episode when this guy lands with his parachute right on the front line between Germans and Russians fighting each other.
Why? You don’t think they aimed for the fucking front where they would stand a chance of running into allied troops? Especially at this point in the war…the Germans were not taking prisoners anymore
It's actually a pretty direct translation to the screen from the description of the mission in Miller's book. Many truly amazing things happened in the war (and there must have been many many more things that didn't go well).
You do realize that isn’t far fetched at all right
One rear gunner survived falling IN the tail of his broken plane.

Change the Title of this Show from * Master of the Air to Master of the POW Camp * majority of Character and Episodes of the Show is how they been Shot Down , Captured and Transported in POW Camps and there daily life in the Camps.😂😂😂
There'd be fighters on that thing so fast ! They'd all be turned into much that's the fact of war !
Not always. The B-17 was already going down, why waste ammo. Also the German fighters may have run low on fuel in order to chase the B-17.

Thinking those rockets were actually accurate is incredible hahahah, no chance
but the germans had operational air to air rockets called r4m.
@@alanholloway1264 they didn’t have r4m until the times they were running 262s in the air, they had much less accurate, plane performance killing rocket pods as an early solution
Those were 1k pound bombs…
And some of the BS they could only get away with after the actual airman died. Like the one guy getting back from a German POW camp and flying a couple more missions. There is no way in hell that would have happened.
Indeed - in the book on which this series is based, it is specifically stated that nobody who managed to return from mainland Europe after bailing out ever flew again. This was to prevent the revelation of names and locations on the route home being revealed under interrogation if they ever had to bail out again.
Didn’t that limit apply only to those shot down over occupied Europe and helped to escape by the local resistance movements? Not airmen like Buck Cleven, who was shot down over Germany itself, escaped from captivity inside Germany and reached allied lines inside Germany. So he never met any resistance members or agents who he could then compromise if shot down again.
Chuck Yeager was shot down, escaped and returned to combat.
@@scriptsmith4081. Chuck Yeager was not in a POW camp for a year. There is no way a guy is out of a complicated machine like a B-17 for a year and just jumps back in.

guided rockets in ww2 against a prop? huh, very realistic!
Rocket artillery bud
The Luftwaffe used unguided rockets against daylight bomber formations - not very successfully as aiming was problematic, but aircraft were lost to them. Due to the large size of the missiles (90 lb warhead in the case of the WG21), any hit was usually devastating. Also, towards the end of the war, they experimented (unsuccessfully) with wire-guided air-to-air missiles.
@@jackaubrey8614 what I'm saying is that the rocket was perfectly guided, even it curved directly into the nose and engine. I don't think that's unguided
@@austinr6513 💀
The Germans sometimes attacked American bomber formations with rocket-armed Ju-88's or Me-110's. (Those were both twin-engined planes, by the way.)

Only the English used "port" & "starboard", those are nautical terms, not used on planes in the US.
Aviation still uses Nautical Terms. Sides are still Port and Starboard. Airspeed is still in Knots (Nautical Miles per Hour), to coincide with Navigation using Latitude and Longitude.
As far as I know, US aircrews have always used nautical terms in aviation. That's why the pilots sit in the cockpit, for example.
Pilots still use port and starboard.
Thanks for your false contribution.
