Men like Major Sebille are a rare breed. They are from a generation that knew true harship and adversity. Thank you TJ3 for remembering such heros and for ensuring their acts of Valor are never forgotten.
Gotta love TJ3 and how they tell random ass events I havent heard of half the time, its very fun to watch new videos and then research the topic further. Keep up the good work
Never even heard of this airman till now. Another good story, TJ! As for more Korean War stories, I think it would be a good idea to do one about: George Davis (Double-jet ace, MOH winner) and maybe the USAF’s Ace Race of 1953.
A true warriors spirit. He knew he was done, but his last message made it clear. He was going to ride the lightening and take as many of those bastards with him on that final ride. The sacrifice of these men allow us to have a beautiful South Korea in modern times.
This was also new to me as some have stated. I figured prop driven aircraft were a thing of the past. What an honorable man Mr Sebille was. I assume his body was recovered, since he’s buried in Forest Park Chicago.
Thanks TJ for another great video remembering a true hero. Hero’s like this need to be remembered and you are doing a great job telling their stories. Thanks again.
Hell of a way to go, to know you’re going to die but attacked the enemy anyway. No doubt his actions saved our grounds troops countless lives. It’s hard to think of anyone doing any more for his troops than that!
The P-51 has a water cooled engine and as a result, can be shot down by even rifle fire from infantry. As such, the P-51 is not a good ground attack plane. I am surprised it was pushed into this role. The P-47 has an air cooled engine and as a result is much better suited for the ground attack role.
That is true. The USMC employed the F4U Corsair in the fighter bomber role in Korea,, it being equipped with the air-cooled 2,300 HP Pratt & Whitney R-2800-83 Double Wasp radial engine.
Great story as ever, certainly wouldn't expect any less! 🤷❤️ As a kid living on Bruggen, an RAF camp in West Germany I used to buy monthly recreation WWII newspapers in the early eighties. Your content so reminds me of the original war stories that I read as a kid, very nostalgic! Thanks for the great content fella! 😁👌
Excellent story telling. Excellent visuals. Well written and beautifully produced. Thank you so much for honoring this hero. May we all live as he did, and die giving our lives for others. Amen!
Amazing how the B-26, despite its flaws and roles, ended the war with the LEAST amount of destroyed aircraft out of any other bomber. May our heroes who have fallen in and out of those aircraft be at peace!
no they could have both in this case he said bombs but was fuel tanks that was more then likely Napalm US Air Force had cemented the practice of filling drop tanks with napalm and using them as makeshift bombs for low-level close air support missions.
Great video. Just a nit to pick with the written description. As you mentioned in your narration, he was awarded the MOH. Please correct the description to reflect that phrasing instead of 'won the Medal of Honor. Thank you.
Thank you th for telling these Great War hero’s story’s keeping their legacy’s alive for many many more years to come if they ever had the chance to know you I know they would not only be thankful but proud of you sir keep up the good work 🥹❤️🙏🤘✌️
The animations are funny because I imagine that no computer animation programs have the Korean conflict skins for the P51, so it still said "U.S. Army Air Forces" etc. in the closeup. Also, I'm reasonably sure those "500 lb bombs" were shaped like the drop tanks that were commonly fitted to the Mustang. Just funny little things that you notice when you're listening and watching the story unfold.
Would love to see TJ3 do some vids on Panther pilots. If you haven't seen The Bridges of Toko-Ri, check it out. It's outstanding. Lot of great Panther footage from the carriers.
Chuck Yeager was shot down over France. With the help of the French Underground he and another airman got to the French Spanish border. The other man was badly injured and Yeager was working to get him to freedom. At one point on the Spanish side they came to a snow field. They were in a heavy fog and couldn't see anything. Yeager, tired of carrying the man, sat him down, Yeager got behind him, leg on each side and pushed off and slid down the glacier. But from there I have never heard the rest of the story as to what happened to him and the man other than they lived out the war. Could you cover the story?
Love you videos. Just want to point something out for future videos; one doesn’t “win” The Metal of Honor, or any metal for that matter. They are earned. Honest mistake that is made by many.
I like this story, which reminded me of another P-51 Mustang Story. Can you tell the story of how the Tuskegee Airmen went on the longest bombing run and how they successfully stopped German jets.
A full accounting would see this as a case of American kamikaze-ish behavior. Plus, if he crashed into the village he likely killed or injured civilians (perhaps children) in his revenge strike. I can’t say it wasn’t heroic, but I wonder what he would have thought of an enemy pilot doing the exact same thing into an American small town.
He was probably wounded so badly that he wouldn't have been able to assure no innocent bystanders would get hurt if he passed out or died on his way back to a friendly airbase, or anywhere he could put it down. Likely would've ended up crashing into the side of a hill a few miles away, already dead. Instead, he chose to make his death worth something and assure he hurt the enemy and only the enemy, never giving up the fight. Being mortally wounded and knowing you're going to die one way or another makes the choice relatively easy, and isn't at all what the principle of kamikaze was about. This story has been repeated in countless ways, not just in the air but on the ground and the sea as well in probably every major conflict in history, on every side.
The P-51s use in Korea was a very poor choice being more vulnerable to damage from ground fire with the P-47 being far better suited to that role; however, the lack of available spare parts for the P-47 prevented practical use in this conflict.
...Imagine if you were the enemy and you heard those words in the clear ... 'I'm going back for the ...ards...' ... one likely would feel a shiver on their neck hearing that...
I wonder why the air force used F51s instead of P47s? They were a much better ground attack plane, and could take much more damage and still back to base. Maybe the P47s were scrapped after the war because the F51s were so sexy looking.
The USMC employed the F4U Corsair in the fighter bomber role in Korea,, it being equipped with the air-cooled 2,300 HP Pratt & Whitney R-2800-83 Double Wasp radial engine.
@@PSGE7 The Corsair was a much better ground attack support than the F51. I don't know how the Corsair stacks up against The Jug. They were both good in the role of ground attack.
The B-26 Martin Marauder had powerful engines was a hot rod of a bomber, and could easily be unruly and dangerous to fly in the hands of an inexperienced bomber pilot.
In Korea A friend of mine with a gun or on a B 26 they saw three megs during the Korean War and they were shot down three times he said to me it would go fast enough to get shot down
As he turned around to release, the second bomb (after he got hit), your depiction of that endeavor @5:32, doesn't show this. The bomb simply disappears, and nothing more said, about it🤔⁉️
I just realized that... If i need to submit an idea for the future video i can do that with the link you provide... And the link is in the description (never know until now) what a dumb
Good video overall. But the Mustang shown is carrying drop tanks not iron bombs. The graphics should be updated to reflect the narration. Thank you though for posting.
If you look up incidiary bombs in Korea, this is actually what they looked like - just like drop tanks. They are shown in this historic footage as well.
There is a famous b26 in world war 2 a complete squadron that secret mission one b- 26 Mitchell with a bunch of green Horn men more famous than the Memphis Belle can't think of the plane nickname but it was lot of bad luck with the plane but somehow managed to outlast worse attack on the plane
Telling these stories honors these heros. I would like to add that this is not glorifying war, instead it shows these mens strength of character.
Absolutely. The man in this video showed courage I doubt anyone in this generation could replicate.
“Just reminder I’m not glorifying war” like bro stfu that’s literally exactly what we’re here for
What a hero. Thanks for remembering Major Sebille with this powerful video

Can we just appreciate the fact that this Marauder and pilot made over 100 bombing runs. That in itself is just incredible and yet, there is more.

Excellent story, keep up the work TJ3
Medal of Honor recipient, not winner. It isn't a contest.
Wow, that's the ultimate sacrifice. Good video
Great video TJ- loved helping out
I wanna see a movie of this guy. Almost like a sequel to Devotion, just start making a series of unsung heroic pilots
Wow. Never heard of this story. Great content.
Thank you!
Amazing how the B-26, despite its flaws and roles, ended the war with the LEAST amount of destroyed aircraft out of any other bomber. May our heroes who have fallen in and out of those aircraft be at peace!
I appreciate your interesting and informative accounts of many different combat situations !
You have "Drop tanks" under the wings, not 500 pound bombs. Drop tanks held fuel to extend the range of the aircraft.
War Thunder limitations
no they could have both in this case he said bombs but was fuel tanks that was more then likely Napalm US Air Force had cemented the practice of filling drop tanks with napalm and using them as makeshift bombs for low-level close air support missions.
ww2 p51 used drop tanks but the f-51 could carry bombs rockets napalm and gun pods + fuel tanks if needed

Per Wikipedia: "The Marauder ended World War II with the lowest loss rate of any U.S. Army Air Forces bomber."
You should do a video on the red tails
This was a cool story of heroic self-sacrifice.
No one today would of done this. These era of pilots are the strongest we will ever have, I’m sad we will never have pilots like these again
With drones and AI we won't have pilots very long as a whole.
@@eddiemclean7011 that’s what I’m scared of

Balls of pure steel those men had...
As a father of two little baby boys, all I can think about is his little boy and how they never got to know each other. War is hell.
Wait, did the P-51D-30 just got a napalm?
Yes, P-51s in Korea dropped incendiary bombs!
@@TJ3 I mean the in-game model.
B-26 was nicknamed the widowmaker
We hear of heroes. This man WAS a HERO.
Being a attack bomber over Europe in WW2... no way! All those guys are hero's!
Was his remains recovered for burial or was it a empty casket ceremony?
Such an excellent recreation, I hate to complain. But those were not bombs under the wings. They were auxiliary fuel "drop" tanks.

read that the Mustangs suffered heavy loses in the Korean War due to their design made to it very easy for it to be shot down by enemy ground forces.
Just when i thought a man couldnt Do anymore, it says the Major stuck around to be buried. SALUTE.
you don't WIN the Medal of Honor. It's not a prize or a contest. It's an award. You receive it.
The B-26 Martin Marauder had powerful engines was a hot rod of a bomber, and could easily be unruly and dangerous to fly in the hands of an inexperienced bomber pilot.
I never understood why they risked relatively dainty and delicate P-51s when they had a lot of P-47s (much better suited to ground attack) on hand.
Really tough plane to fly at any altitude
Came here looking for instructions. Gonna add this to the list.
P-47 was more invincible
Bone chilling story
So sorry i am lat on this fine video....Thanks my friend.....
Shoe🇺🇸
Now do Kidd Hofer 4th AF in Debden Eagles
Great video, god bless this pilot. Question, how could he be buried in Chicago?
Burried in Forrest park in Chicago?
Who was over to pick up his remains if at all possible?
Or you meant symbolically burried?
Come on people those were fuel tanks NOT 500 pounders. However that takes away from his true heroism.
Could someone please tell me what those two metal spikes are sticking up behind the p51 cockpit cover
Its Either the radio tether or the support beam to the tail wing for stability
*Take 'em with you.*
Awesome! 👍
In Korea A friend of mine with a gun or on a B 26 they saw three megs during the Korean War and they were shot down three times he said to me it would go fast enough to get shot down
God blessing me rest in peace what a brave pilot
THIS IS A HERO………..
The item he dropped from his wing in your video was a fuel tank AND NOT A BOMB.
I agree, but what about napalm? I think they were made out of fuel tanks.
That was a fuel tank shown dropping, the bombs are still under the wings.
Go look up incidiary bombs used in Korea! They look just like fuel tanks.
As he turned around to release, the second bomb (after he got hit), your depiction of that endeavor @5:32, doesn't show this. The bomb simply disappears, and nothing more said, about it🤔⁉️
