Landing on an aircraft carrier isn't easy, especially in the 1940's and especially if the aircraft is damaged! These brave pilots all tried their best to land safely.

Things got just a little bit safer after a British Naval officer came up with the idea of the angled flight deck in the early 1950s. Overshooting the deck and dropping in the sea was off to one side avoiding being run over by the ship.
My friends grandad served on a carrier in WW2. A plane dropped into the water and was run over, but the pilot made it out and survived as he overshot far enough to get out without being run over
Or.....with no aircraft parked in front of you you could advance the throttle and fly off the other end.
@@kdrapertrucker Usually, yes, but if the arrestor cable breaks while it's arresting you, you might not be able to reach flying speed again before going off the deck. Either way, the angled flight deck is a lifesaver.
"Introducing the safety barrier"
- well that doesn't look safe to me
Better then flying off the deck
@@intellectualbaguette7507 water's not dangerous but taking your wheels out is. And it's *than.
1. Planes didn't fly anywhere close to that fast when they were landing. 100mph is equal to 45m/second and the aircraft carriers were about 200m and the runways even shorter. And we clearly see from the footage that the planes didn't finish the runway in 4 seconds.
2. If they were flying at 100mph they would have been easily made a pull around.
3. The planes would have sunk slowly giving the pilot plenty of time to get out.
4. Even If the water was cold the human could survive surprisingly long time. The passengers of RMS Titanic could have survived about 30 minutes in the water before dying.
@@deltavgaming3447 im fine but you have to understand that the waters werent cold. And you could survive maybe hours there if not eaten by a shark. Also the crew on the carrier could be rescuing you within a 1 minute of that happening.
The net could easily caused a fire or an explosion. If not already killed the pilot while flipping over or the engine pushing through the pilot.
Let's just call it an even.
But you surely are one of the people who was stopped by the net and hit your head pretty hard while doing flips with you airplane.
My hat is off to these pilots.
Literally.
I'm not wearing my hat right now.
I didn't even adorn a hat before viewing
So metaphorically
@@youriefavre9003 no, literally. Although I did put my hat on later.
@@alexriesenbeck You lack imagination sir.

"a good landing is where you can walk away from"
- _i forgot the person's name_
...¿Joe McCuack, DuckTales?
Gotta add swim away from to that
Was just thinking that exact same thing.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. Chuck Yeager (first man to break the sound barrier).
Back in the 1960s I think it was I watched a film clip of carrier landings with Dad. One fellow came in spinning and everything tore off but the cockpit. It was an epic crash. Dad got excited. He had witnessed that landing. He said when the deck crew got to it they leaned over and puked. There was red all over the deck. Fortunately it was hydraulic fluid, not blood. The pilot merrily hopped out without a scratch on him. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
If the plane is on the ground and your alive then you landed
Someone else mentioned "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any landing you can also reuse the aircraft, is a great one. "
@@jolene_simz You're a troll and an idiot.
How old are you
Oh my goodness John! Horrifying! Thank goodness it was only hydraulic fluid! Aircraft carrier landings are some of the most dangerous activity in the military; but I have learned a lot from watching countless movies like the one above, and am relieved that today's aircraft have FOUR cables for their tail-hook to catch, (and they must catch the 3rd one, at 150+mph!) It is precision flying at low speed and a high angle of attack. It is the definitive skill that sets carrier pilots apart from all others. It makes me so stressed when I hear a pilot, perhaps low on fuel, with a problem, and he just MUST make that first try to get on that deck! I know how well trained they are BEFORE they go to a carrier, but sometimes, s**t happens and they go into the drink. I always get upset at that! (I know they usually get them out, but there goes that multi-million-dollar jet, to the bottom.)
It takes the precise cooperation of the deck people and the pilots to accomplish that difficult task of landing on a carrier. We wish them ALL, HAPPY LANDINGS and SAFE deck work!
Poor WW2 pilots. Went on a long mission, tired, wounded, still have to find the carrier (a lot through calculations and maths !!!!), and then land damaged airplanes... What heroes.
Only 1 in ten naval aviator in WWII saw actual combat.
vonjager not true
@@vonjager that is complete nonsense, of the combatant nations, nearly every single one was desperate for pilots by 1944, and sent many out with less than 5 hours flight time in their designated aircraft. Virtually every aviator flew at least one combat sortie except in the final waning days of the war.
Maybe you are referring to the statistic that only 1 in 10 pilots achieved an aerial victory in combat. Bearing in mind that dive bomber, torpedo bomber, recon, and rescue planes are also naval aviators.
@@vonjager WTF are you talking
No GPS then and if you still had a working compass you didn't know if your carrier task force had changed course since you took off hours before. I presume they had to maintain course and speed toward the air strike's target for precisely that reason but what if a Japanese submarine appeared? When the pilots left Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown for the Midway attack they didn't know if their floating airfields would still be floating when they returned. For some Japanese pilots, they weren't!
The Greatest Generation, mostly passed on now. May they rest in peace, their battles over.
I feel fortunate to have been alive and to have met so many of the greatest generation. Sad that they are mostly all gone.
I’m sad I didn’t meet much any of them
@@tommygallagher5747 if they had seen the end result ,what the elite they helped gain even more power have done to their nations ,many would have said fuck it fight your own damn war
@@kurtmogensen4815 Perhaps.
The "greatest generation" seems to me a misnomer of sorts. They were the ones who, instead of whipping the hide off their college aged children, let the lefties have them. The results were the filthy, stupid hippies who gave rise to the millennials, and now look at things.
I won't blame an entire generation, but I will blame the entire human race for having allowed all this crap to happen in the first place. And Americans are the most guilty of all.
People complain about tyranny. Well guess what: WE are the reason for it, not the tyrants, who are mere symptoms of a far deeper cancer.
@@andrewvida3829 Ah yes, the whole "millennial" argument.
Proudly left and proudly able to ignore the intolerance of the generations before me. My respect to the men and women conscripted into wars they wanted no part in, but less respect to for the children born afterwards that act like they had some part in it.
If the planes on the ground and the pilots alive it’s a successful landing
THAT'S ME IN WAR THUNDER
Cowerdnerd Despacito too bad there no ground for hundreds of nautical miles
With the hellcats they flew it's amazing if no parts got torn off landing
Walk away: good landing. Use plane again immediately: great landing.

Все эти летчики - герои!
These were brave SOB's.. sad to think most of them have passed by now.. but I am grateful for their service! Amen..
So true..dying daily by the hundreds..Americas finest going home one last time!
I remember listening to ww2 vets talking about there experiences in the 70s and 80s. They all loved it and looked back fondly as they discribed their adventures. There isnt the same sense of adventure and heroism now.
War stories are rarely completely truthful. Nobody who has actually been in a war wants to talk about the fear, horror and suffering. So they remember the good things and edit the other stuff so it doesn't hurt so much. War stories are how we cope with an experience no man should have to suffer. No doubt they were true heroes and should be celebrated as such. But we all edit our histories to come up with a past we can live with. One problem with PTSD today is that the images of war are so quickly made public and so irreversable that it is hard for soldiers to reconcile their memories.
My great uncle Fred came back a completely changed man from World War 2. Sullen, rarely smiled, and had a hard time relating and becoming close with people. Fred was a navigator on a B-24 bomber. He was shot down over the Phillipines in 1944 and saw half his crew get mowed down before making back to American lines.
For him, his memories terrorized him until the day he died.
ww2 at 70s and 80s, how many drinks you all had or maybe you are just plain stupid.
@@mangoje9260 hes talking about WW2 veterans sharing their experiences during the 70's and 80's not that WW2 started during the 70's and 80's
@pyropulse Can you *not* call paying attention to PTSD "pussifying"?
It’s amazing to watch these men risk and loose their lives for someone like me, who wasn’t even born yet. So that I can be free. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

These days, carrier pilots are among the best of the best. Trained to the highest of standards. These guys had mere months of training and maybe a couple hundred hours if they were lucky. AND they were dealing with new and unproven technology. It's amazing to watch.
The sea beds must be littered with broken aircraft.
Craig Welsh it’s a big sea.
Just look at Lake Michigan. You won’t believe how many are down there! XD
But no submarines in the sky.
Yeah well no shit because submarines don’t fucking FLY KAREN
@@Kay_213_ Get over yourself, idiot. The statement about no submarines in the sky is a takeoff from a joke about submarines being left on the bottom of the sea versus airplanes never being left in the sky.
Step away from the keyboard, because every time you post you reveal yourself to be more of an idiot.
Yep, brave flyers, great planes and ships, stupid wars.
Is the plane on the ground? ✅
Is the pilot alive? ✅
Perfect landing
I feel for the people that placed their lives at such risk and the terror that people went through. If only man was not so stupid to start wars - if only. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Dumb joke pay it no mind
We used to have man overboard drills when i was in the U.S Navy on a cruiser in Viet Nam. The Boatswain Mates would throw a dummy named Oscar overboard. Most of the time he missed the screws, but once in a while they hit him. The Boatswain Mates would just sew him together for the next drill.
Paul Pflaum Wow, any details on who the guy was???
I love how planes look like they weigh the same as a balloon when they are landing.
The scene at 7:50 never ceases to amaze me. Bravery, dedication, professionalism. The guy in the fire suit never flinched, never wavered.
We should all aspire to be that person. No matter what.
Aside from a battlefield, the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is perhaps THE most dangerous workplace in the world. Huge respect for the deck crewman who risk life and limb to get these aircraft stopped, and the pilots out of their planes. They 've never received the credit they're due.
@Th Tough Huge respect for firefighters also, especially the firefighters on the flight deck of the carriers, affectionately known as Crispy Critters. The hazards they face are immense, and add to the statistics of the flight deck of an aircraft carrier being the most dangerous workplace on earth - in peacetime. Props to all firefighters and police and I acknowledge the danger they face, but my point is not the occupation, but the workplace itself.

I have to say that the Foley work on this film is beyond measure...
That pilot at 2:15 might have survived the impact but got run over by the ship. So sad.
mistakes happen
@Thane Mac No! The bow would smash into the airframe and it would be pushed down. The hull' s pressure wave would have no effect if you were directly in front of the bow.
And let the war thunder flashbacks begin
Miles til if the plane is on the ground and the pilot is alive it’s a successful landing

That’s a lotta damage!
Phil Swift stop
Daddy Swift get them some of your Flex products it’ll be okay
What happened with the plane leaking fire onto the flightdeck was that it had incendiary bombs in the bomb bay that didn't release properly. It is a TBF Avenger torpedo/bomber. These bombs were designed with barometric fuzes which caused the bomb to burst at 100 feet above sea level spreading already lit napalm bomblets across a large area. With this incident, the bomb most likely "burst" as the pilot prepared to land, having been activated when he pulled the bomb release over the target. If it didn't ignite on approach, then it certainly ignited when it fell off its rack onto the bomb bay doors upon landing and then burst, the fuze detonating after it was below 100 feet.
Either way - it's a majorly bad thing, but not the engine.
Daniel Wallace these planes carry their bombs externally. That was the engine on fire.
Reel it in Budroe.... I'm sure the jettisoned all bombs before landing.
Read the part that says didn't release properly, numbnuts.... WW2 aircraft didn't "jettison", they DROPPED them. Internally held weapons aren't jettisoned, only external stores. Know what you are talking about before you open your mouth. It took me a good bit of research to find the report on how that fire occurred. Notice the fire coming out of the bombbay aft of the engine. The engine is running fine which it couldn't do if it were on fire. I work on those radial engines occasionally.
I thought the Avenger had a bomb bay?
Mike Wasfaret is just one of those wanna be smartasses that opens his mouth before actually knowing anything. Just ignore him and carry on. I initially thought it was an incendiary that didn't release as well Daniel, thanks for doing some research and finding out more about them.
2:18 god damn that was a close one
The camera quality is just CRISP
Navy pilots had balls of steel.
I wonder how many exciting stories each one of these in air and on the carrier had to tell folks in every social gathering🙂
Wow, I did not realize we were taking off and landing on carriers so early. Thanks for sharing this video with us. Really cool .
We had aircraft carriers in WW1 in the U.K.
That's why they're " The Greatest Generation " Miss you Dad.....
It's astounding to see how human eyes have evolved to see the world in colour. It must have been dull only to see black & white, then sepia type colours. But look at us now!
People walked and ran faster too.
My Uncle was one of those pilots. He flew TBMs. They were the first to run out of gas on any mission. They were big slow targets. The carriers moved after launch and were under radio silence so after your mission you had to go back to where the carrier was and start your Search squares and pray to God you would find out where your carrier went before you ran out of gas. The TBMs and TBFs went in first.You would hear them calling out "Going in, Good Luck, Guys". You would hear them calling out and ditching. Quiet for a while and then came the calls came from the SBDs going in. Lastly the calls from the fighters started. This is why they turned the lights on during the battle of the Coral Sea. If they didn't they would have no planes left. My Uncle spent a lot of time in a rubber raft praying that he would be picked up by our side before the Sun, the Japs or the Sharks got him. He survived and flew combat missions until the end of world war II. He Flew combat missions in the Korean War and Viet Nam too. He retired a 1 star.
Been seeing this same video since the 50's , never gets old, I honor those who risked all for mankind, pilots, ships, ship's company, and, plane crews! Doc Mike USN
I like how casually he says that the Japanese navy just ceases to exist
Nerro Works
To be honest it had already ceased to exist after the Solomons campaign when their remaining carriers lost almost all their pilots, making it impossible for the IJN to attack the main American fleet again (because a fleet that has carrier strike power can simply outrange one who has lost that power). Everything else was just filler.
I see go-arounds were probably not part of standard operational procedures back then. 😂
Just kidding. I know it was bloody hard and these folks were heroes. Calm down everyone.
Lol
Maybe a lot of them didn't want to risk going around and running out of fuel.
👍
A lot of the Pacific Theater missions stretched their fuel to the limit. Even with the drop tank(s), they were landing on fumes. Dogfighting eat up a lot of fuel on the mission, and a damaged plane ate more. Some had to ditch long before ever seeing a flattop.
Some of the most courageous young men you'll probably never see
Absolute heroes ... every last one of them!
there is no way we can ever fully understand the kind of risks they put up with back in those days. The astonishing bravery of not only the pilots but the deck crews is very extremely humbling. My absolute respect for them is immeasurable. I think it's fair to say that they have way more than earned the title hero. Even more impressive is the fact that they knew the risks they were undertaking and they did it anyways. they knew that their chances of returning alive after a mission was only about a one in three chance. I'm humbled thinking of such brave men.
I always find it highly insulting to the word hero when those hollyweird freaks use it to describe themselves - fake as hell weirdos. These are real life HEROS, brave to the core.
Try landing one of those planes, with more holes than swiss cheese, on a postage stamp after a brutal mission. Salute to the naval aviators of the Greatest Generation.

Beautiful footage
They are real heros with no tech what so ever they tried their best and this paved the way in future generations of pilots...fukin legends.
That’s when real Men roamed the World.
And in age, they were mostly kids.

thank you guys. rest in peace.
looking at those things, makes me remember my grandfather's words: "WAR is something horrible! I wish you never know the meaning of what that is". He was telegrapher from the Scirè submarine. He saw things he wanted to forget and did not till the day he passed away. If we only had idea of how the thigs go and of who wants us to kill each other, just to gain a slice of power...

Most Dangerous the old aircraft carriers, poor pilots. Respect.
Amazing piece of film history
My uncle was a plane captain on the Yorktown. He told me once that the worst thing he saw during his tour was someone walk into a spinning propeller....he saw it happen twice.
I've always thought that the worst way to go would be to ditch successfully, get into your life raft and then not be found; just drift for days and days on the open ocean until you finally realize no one is coming and you're going to die. Lonely way to go. It happened to a lot of air crews during the Battle of Midway because they ran out of fuel trying to get back to the carriers.
Brave men operating in the worst of conditions doing the impossible.
RIP for all of them....heroes.
*Amazing back then, Trial & Error!* 🛩
The poor guy who went into the water inverted just behind the ship probably didn't make it.
