The Father of Air Combat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2022
- In the early years of flight, the tactics for aerial battle had not yet been understood. It was a new way of fighting and lessons had to be learned the hard way, with experience. A few pioneers had to develop the best tactics and write the rules. The most preeminent of these was Oswald Boelcke. One of his most successful protégés was the legendary Red Baron. Boelcke wrote the rules of successful aerial combat that influence the battlefield even today.

Seeing that the enemy respect him so much that they sent him a tribute is kinda heartwarming
Nobody is the bad guy in ww1 that's what makes it more heartbreaking
@@Strongnurgling there were a lot of ‘bad guys’ In the First World War, but as my great-grandfather described it, the war in the air was the “gentleman’s fight”. The amount of respect they had for each other is admirable
@@Jack-sd1ug yup! The Rape of Belgium comes to mind but my Christmas 1914, everyone was sick of it
well i got chills. Yarnhub is what expert production and story flow looks like.
Yes it happened on more than one occasion, they did the same when Richthofen was killed.
WW1 air combat is so interesting with these bi planes and there's not a better channel that educates us better and in a amazing way like yarn hub does.
Honestly! Just a question, why did Germany seem to have more aces than say, the UK? (tbf ik second to none about WW1 aerial combat, so maybe I'm completely wrong!)
S
Have you seen a channel by Mark Felton. Very different but awesome
@@chicagotypewriter2094 they were the best.
@@chicagotypewriter2094 I also know very little but if I had to guess, Germany took advantage of air combat first, they designed dedicated dogfighters before the allies. That or they were just that good lol.
I'm a huge history buff, and I love this channel.
so am I
Me too
I am also
I’m not, but I still love this channel!
glad be in the club
It always amazes me how in WWI the air forces were so respectful of each other
Then Japan came
@@whatintheworld6413 not really much in WWI
The air corps absolutely
Army...not really
It depended on the pilot. Billy Bishop went for the man, not the machine.
WW 1 was total industrial war where soldiers died nameless as they vanished into the French mud. There was far less hand to hand combat than in previous centuries. Regiments and battalions died by the hundreds of thousands in single campaigns by machine gun and artillery fire they never had a chance to even see. Dreams of honour quickly died in the first mass advance into enemy fire, and the years spent in deep trenches.
In the same way, defeat in air combat was most often final. There were few parachutes, and for most of the war, the paper and wood machines flared like matches when hit with the incendiary and explosive bullets used by both sides. The colourful umbrella of chivalry was an illusion quickly shredded in the realities of life and death combat.Maybe it was what the pilots needed to keep going, to tell themselves that they mattered, and that their deaths meant more than that of the ground based soldiers.
@@whatintheworld6413 Japan was on the Allies side in WWI.
What a fascinating story, I never knew the real history of what happened to the pilot that wrote the infamous 'Dicta' Rules of Air Combat. Great vid as always, keep it up Yarnhub!
My last name is of Prussian origin and my Father, who was born in 1919, always told us that Oswald was a distant relative. I have never confirmed that however. A nice short documentary. Thank you.
You got his flying genes.
As always yarnhub delivers another beautiful rendition of a snippet of history. Still amazes me that you guys pump these out every week
I KNEW IT!! Another one for the Amazing Aviators playlist!! Oswald Boelcke remains an important figure in the annals of military aviation! May his legacy live on with every generation of fighter pilots living by his rules and wisdom!
Project Aces named an entire fictional country after him, in the Ace Combat game series. Its called Belka!
Boelcke's death was probably one of the major factors in Manfred's depression and the fact that he watched it all play out from start to end probably didn't help that much either
That, or it could have been the bullet he took in the back of the head.
imagine just watching the man responsible for your success plummet to his death while being completely helpless, must have been awful
Seeing that wreath at the end is very amazing, proving that despite being in the darkest hours of WW1. Light will always reach us
Edit: Well i am nothing short of impressed at the like count. Thank you everyone
Edit 2: Mom I’m famous
In darkness, there's always light at end.
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." -Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore 1994
"omg wow they killed each other but they put flowers omg there is light in the darkness urgh..."
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 But they celebrate Christmas together tho? Like, they both stopped fighting during WW1 on Christmas Eve so they can celebrate it together, if that's not heartwarming then idk what is
@@BlueRGuy That's a completely different thing to what the OP was talking about
My god you could easily turn this guy’s story into a german Topgun, the fact that he shaped the way aerial combat would be carried out along with his adventures are stuff movie producers would eat up
The fact he flew with his brother and did alot with his brother just shows how strong brotherly love is
I remember Roald Dahl narrating in Going Solo about how amazed he was at the fact that machine guns could shoot through propellors! And that was in the 40s. I'd imagine it'd be unheard of in the 1910s. Still mindboggling to me to this day!
Fokker invented firing safetly through the prop blades in 1916.
Yeah it was a critical thing to have at the time…
@@badbeardbill9956 better than dueling with standard issue pistols
Holy shit, those two legendary pilots met?! Richthofen and Boelcke?!
Besides Bölcke, Immelmann, von Richthofen; Erich Lowenhardt, Eduard von Schleich, Werner Voss, Rudolf Berthold , Ernst Udet were some of feared German WW1 pilots.
It always amazes me how great these animations are, the graphics, the accuracy, and the fact that you guys pump out one around every 7 days.
The Dicta Boelcke
1. Try to secure advantages before attacking. If possible, keep the sun behind you.
2. Always carry through an attack when you have started it.
3. Fire only at close range, and only when your opponent is properly in your sights.
4. Always keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses.
5. In any form of attack it is essential to assail your enemy from behind.
6. If your opponent dives on you, do not try to evade his onslaught, but fly to meet it.
7. When over the enemy's lines never forget your own line of retreat.
8. For the Staffel (squadron): Attack on principle in groups of four or six. When the fight breaks up into a series of single combats, take care that several do not go for the same opponent.
Even today they still apply.
The chivalry shows that the opposing flyers weren't really 'enemies' in the truest sense of the word. Just pawns in a game that had to be played out militarily. RIP to Boelke, and deep respect to the RFC for their gesture.
Chivalry in wartime like that just shows that even at our worst, humanity shines through
What I love about the great war is that despite all the he'll the common man was put through a fair amount of them were extremely chivalrous. Many stories often go with a hero and a villain. But when it's the great war. We all were fighting for the freedom we believed
The narration the animation the story telling the channel really come a long way you deserves a million subscribers one of the best history channel
I think it was Udet that once said when he had the enemy plane in his sights for the first time he decided he didnt want to kill such a helpless fellow soldier of the skies until the observer shot him in the face with a machine gun... Voss Manfred Rickenbacker and Boelcke were the real deal! Ace of aces! When your up there it was very real with little actual honor accept perhaps some of the last fleeting moments of the past chivalry knights brought to life again! These are the guys I read about as a kid and these are the guys that made me successful when I went into the military myself to do what your suppose to do.
A Great Airman, and a Greater Foe! He was indeed, without question the Father of Air Combat. Over 100 years later, his tactics are still taught and used. Thank-you again Yarnhub for your selfless dedication in pursuit of historical truth.
I’m watching this the exact day 106 years after his passing. 😢
How is yarnhub able to dish out quality videos in just short amount of time, it's insane I love the effort that y'all put in your videos. I may have said this a million times but keep up the awesome work.
Fantastic video! I did a video on the German air Legends : Oswald Boelcke and his masterful student the Red Baron, and I think that these two men had a major impact on the theory of dogfighting.
We trick-or-treated Yarnhub and he gave us a real treat!
I've always loved WWI planes so much... just because I can actually see how they would've built them - and I could actually replicate such a machine myself.... so amazing!
You guys work really hard on these videos and it shows.. bloody brilliant as always.
A great tribute, to a great man. Rest in peace Captain Boelcke.
We take it for granted now but the fact that men were fighting each other high in the sky was the stuff of legends and myths only a decade before this.
You can tell Oswald boelcke tactics is still in use today across air forces around the world great story yarnhub. Please do the story of the gloster meteor vs v-1 flying bomb the worlds first jet vs jet.
Always cool videos
I concur!
YEAH
I KNEW it was going to be Oswald!
Beautifully done video. Love the work you’re doing.
I like how he posts weekly and every time animation quality gets better
It's amazing to see how well the videos are made, and I am always left speechless and wanting for more. Hats off to you!
What I like about Yarnhub is that they bring light to relatively unknown war stories and give respect to the heroes involved. Great work as always.
'Riding into the sunset' animation for most of your aerial combat video's ending gives me goosebumps... The same feeling I get each time I see a Missing Man formation. And loved the way how you created the stories of two great Aces with similar scenes in both your videos.
The ending gave me chills where the British plane came by 2 days later. You never see or hear something like that nowadays in war. I feel like people respected each other no matter where you came from and people keeping their word ment something. I love these videos, keep it up!!!
Yarnhub's graphics improving each video..
And the story delivery is still the same.. Perfect 🥰🥰🥰
Dang you improved a lot this year, I'm astonished at your improvement.
Me too buddy
8:27;Manfred's Albatros DII,in which he recorded his first 16 kills,which included our Major Lanoe George Hawker VC and resulted in him being given his first command of Jasta 11,had a thin white stripe around the engine cowling.
Suddenly, the enemy flew overhead and bombed his grave…with a wreath and a note that championed the greatness of their sworn enemy.
Some of the stories from wars of old are just epic.
This time I noticed that the animation was less stiff, especially on things like Boelocke's scarf. Once again, amazing work yarnhub team!
Awesome
Just found out that he was the instructor of legendary Red Manfred Baron Von Ritchthofen, Max Immelman's freund and one of the first Fokker Eindekker Pilots.
Kapitan. Oswald Boelcke
1891-1916
Salute
World War one was something else... The last grasp of the chivalry of old meeting the brutal reality of a new century. Great video!
God your animation is irecognizable from the early days, always improving!
Good episode guys keep it up, I love your videos. I like how this video connects with the “Red Baron Remastered”
Once again, a perfect video. Bravo Yarnhub, bravo.
This Turk greatly appreciated the enemy's respect for the enemy. To the gentleman warriors.... Düşmanın düşmana saygısını bu Türk çok taktir etti. Centilmen savaşçılara....
That ending was the best icing on the cake if I’ve ever seen one! Great job Yarnhub!
That intro was absolutely stunning, Amazing work as always, and it introduced me to a legend in the process .
Да великий асс первой мировой. Освальд Бельке.Именно он разработал основные тактические приёмы воздушного боя летчика- истребителя.И они остались актуальны в воздушном бою по сегодняшний день.
From 2D animations to these, my god how yarnhub have grown.
Every Friday is Yarnhub day for me! ❤
There is so much life and emotion in your characters! Your guys’ animation never ceases to amaze
Haha no
Oswald Boelcke was a fantastic aviator and the father of all dogfights. His lessons are essential in all aerial combat even to this day. It’s just a shame that he died so…disgracefully. Even so, he was respected by friend and foe alike and none can argue that.
He was so good not only in battle but also as a person that even the enemy respected him.
Thank you for the story of courage, honor and respect that humankind seems to lack these days.
my bad day suddenly dissapeared when i saw yarnhub updated
War has always been disgusting, violent, just horror. I just feel like the Great War and possibly many before it were filled with so much more examples of honor and chivalry than the wars that followed and continue today.
I am a history nerd and this is the best channel to watch.
Have you tried Mark Felton Productions?
Every video the animation quality gets better, keep up the good work guys!
The quality on these keeps getting better! Great job.
i love how he fluently comblines the red baron vid with this vid, amzing !
Brilliant video. Thank you. More Great War air power videos please! The role of aerial reconnaissance at Tannenberg and Marne would be great!
nice one Yarnhub. Your animators are getting very skilled.
Another amazing and brilliantly executed video, Yarnhub. The respect shown between fighter pilots on WW1 was shown a lot in WW2, and highly likely was the catalyst for the first commanding officer of Franz Stigler to deliver the edict of never shooting at a man in a parachute..
..very good Sir..Boelcke....was the man...i have a 1935 book in German on him in my collector library...:)
This is excellent! It must have taken many hours to create. Thank you for posting this!
Oh my God, I know y'all get this a lot, but holy moly the intro looks like a full on movie! And that's just me watching it at 480p! It's incredible how far y'all have come in a year! Would love some more Indian history ;)
Kudos & best of luck!
Another good video man they take time but worth it
I really love these animations and every time I see one pop up again I click on it instantly.
It's incredible how much air combat evolves in such a short time, in just over 100 years, we went from super slow, fabric/wooden biplanes with weak machine guns, to fighter jets that easily fly faster than the speed of sound, and fire missiles from possibly hundreds of kilometers away with deadly accuracy
I get emotional of this kind of videos
I always look forward to your world war one videos. The most unknown stories are always the most interesting.
The dogfight and those tracers looks stunning… AND THE GRASS
This is my favorite video of yours yet. I have a large interest in aviation and flying, and this video is just amazing. The animation quality so good! Especially the mid-air collision.
There is great writing in these programs of yours. Keep up the good work!
this channel is so underrated it's not even funny.Thank you yarnhub for showing me the pieces of history I never knew I wanted to know about.
im always amazed by the chivalry of the pilots in that war.
im so glad that i found your channel a year ago your content is very entertaining
I absolutely love your videos. Please keep up your amazing work
Finally another video I've been waiting for new uploads because I already watched all videos from the oldest to the newest and I really love your videos
Mutual respect between professional warriors. That is certainly next level.
Thanks for making these great videos Yarnhub
I'm not very emotional, but boy do these make me tear up..
From 1973 thru 1976, I was in the USAFE, stationed with the 7502nd MSS (Munitions Support Squadron), supporting Jabo G 31, Boelcke Squadron. based in Norevenich, West Germany. The squadron is rightfully proud of their nameske. His dicta is still taught to fighter pilots, today.
As soon as i saw this at 4:50 i def knew its red baron's camo :)
Always love yarnhubs videos no matter the topic
although I'd love to see another vietnam-themed battle on this channel, great work! i havent finished the video yet but already entertaining.
The animation has Evolved so much over the years!!!! We love you yarnhub!!!!
Thankyou for bringing us history Yarnhub!
Thank you for giving me so much inspiration for history! My #1 channel :D
Haven't watched this channel in a while, glad to see the constant quality upgrade!
The man definitely earned the respect he was given
These WW1 dogfight stories are amazing, keep them coming please!
I will never stop loving this contrnt
Channel delivering best content and ticks every box. Perfect
Fantastic as always. However I would love to see a story on Albert Ball, especially since his and Boelckes stories mirror each other in many spooky ways.
-Almost identical number of victories
-Neither survived the war
-Both died as a result of flight disorientation despite their skill
-Both the recipients of glowing tributes from the enemy.
Plus there aren’t enough videos on Allied aces of WW1, I guess because they were a bit less colourful. But that should be remedied.
Albert Ball
