It’s December 13th 1943 and 2nd Lt Philip R. Adair is in the skies over Assam. The alert was sounded and he’s first Burma Banshee in the air. Flying Lulubelle his beloved P-40 he sees in the distance what looks like a flight of 4 planes. Adair is on his own as the rest of the Burma Banshees are still taking off…but he doesn’t hang around and he goes for a closer look.
It’s a force of over 60 planes consisting of both bombers and fighters and it's headed straight for his home base. What can one man do against 60 enemies? Adair makes the incredibly brave decision to engage the force alone. With original testimony from Adair and photos from the battle, we recreate this epic and little known moment in history.

I thing I can say first
RAD!
Hi
Epic
that's all am going to say.
Rad!! Can you make the Battle of The Denmark Strait? With HMS Hood? That would be awesome
“And then I got smart” what a bloody awesome line.
I'm gonna be honest with you... he said that a lot XD
@@linux4425 cool 😎
What's awesome is watching the P-40 moving like a porpoise.
@Linux44 have you visited Assam India 🇮🇳
What a great Man 🖐💪🤨
Less knowing real legendary stories of wwll 🏁
I live near Assam 👍
the 40s version of "this is big brain time"
i dont even know how they made this much research and animating this fast and manage to make the best video ever
My Father has about 30 years worth of research in the website the video mentioned. I was able to send them that, as well as point out a few specific articles, and interviews on RUclips. This video might not have happened without his diligent research for all these years.
@@linux4425 thanks to ur dad.
@@linux4425 we need to thank your father for his research
And on top of that, this this the best video, far best I've ever seen from this channel... probably top 10 videos I've ever seen.
@@raiderunbeatable6306 yea its got real images real story telling real photos thanks to @linux4425 's dad
I'm surprised Adair's plane was able to stay in the air given the weight of his massive brass balls. What an incredible man!
great comment
Not brass, its most likely tungsten
Brass balls were taken into account with a little American know how✌️🤣✌️🇺🇸
you mean Americium?
brass; no; actually depleted uranium
“And then I got smart” what a bloody awesome line.. Awesome that his family helped out with this. Keeps history alive.
YES THAT IS A 2023 LINE IN THE CLOSING
MONTHS, YET PENNED 80 YEARS AGO. A NO NONSENSE SUMMARY, WITH THAT WAR'S FINEST, AND BRAVEST. I HOPE
I CAN MAN UP AS MUCH THIS TOUGHEST OF FIGHTERS. WHAT AN
HONOUR TO KNOW ABOUT HIS INCREDIBLE STORY.
THE CONVENTIONAL ASIAN MIND PROBABLY AVOIDED HIM AFTER HE FLEW HOME UPSIDE DOWN.
😁🇦🇺😂
why u keeping posting that quote? theres a many commnets like yours. U guys are bots or what.

Dude was brave enough to test his luck 3 times in a row even when he was damaged, Such a legend.
And those were not just enemy fighters but very dangerous ZEROES. I would probably not even dared to try my luck with them
First run is mandatory. Second run is hubris. Third run is sheer stupidity.
The Airbase Lt Philip R. Adair took off from in Assam is still used till today as Chabua Airforce Base by the Indian Airforce. My Grandfather's village was near the area, he remembers Japanese airraids that took place and the Americans who would share bread with the villagers if you waved at them by the railway tracks. A big thanks to the USAAF personell that served in the Burma theatre during WW2. - Love from Assam, India.
I wonder if your grandpa and mine ever met.
@@linux4425 Linux, its that true your grandpa is Colonel Adairs?
@@linux4425 Im live in Jakarta but my family used to be work during East Hindies reign.
@@kurniawanhartonoherjana7923 yep, that's my grandpa. :)
@@linux4425Im sure he did something remarkable and i didn't expect he do something out the box.
I wont lie, it brought tears to my eyes. What an absolute legend!!!!
What an amazing pilot. And a man of my own heart. Even with a damaged plane and desperately trying to get home, he saw the enemy and said "What the hell?!"
This man:
- attacked a large formation
- took down a bomber
- called it a skill issue when they missed
- attacked them AGAIN
What a goddamn hero, I love stories like this, really shows how some soldiers went above and beyond for the sake of their country.
One finnish WW2 ace sayed that against one enemy its difficult,against two enemy its even more more difficult but against 3 or more its very easy.
"Ah, what the hell. . ."
🎼🎶🎶 _we dont need another heeero_ ... 🎶🎵🎼
I died at "skill issue" 😂
No for the sake of CHINA and it is time for CHINA to "wake up" from their 75 year NIGHTMARE of "communism" and a ruling class. I pray for that.
"oh what the hell.." this guy is a legend jesus christ
Chad
He is an amazing and bold resourceful Pilot but Jesus Christ is far above him or anyone in his willing sacrifice for us! Jesus paid the full price for us by willingly being impaled on that Roman Cross beaten and stripped naked for us...........For God so loved the world (you and me) that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16.
@@wayneroberts4144Thats not true Jesus was a horse???
more like 'what an idiot'
When I was a kid, I built the "LuluBelle" P-40 from Matchbox. I didn't even know who was flying it and what this pilot did... But the skull looked cool ! ^^
I have to say the inverted flying, problem solving… brilliant and some ‘ace’ achievements. Great snippet of history. Thank you.
This man had a plane that had been badly hit, was losing altitude, and was too far from home... and he saw another enemy and said "Fuck it, why not?"
Absolute mad lad in the most true sense of the term.
True warthunder gamer
Then after nearly losing the plane thinks “You know what? Why don’t I just fly the plane upside down and not lose her?” Then flew the damn thing home
He went aw what the hell may as well see what happens if I turn her upside down
A real hero
fighter pilot
that eureka scene to him flipping had me belly laughing for 10 minutes straight
Me too lmao
bro went straya mode
Gets smart* has a eurika moment* turns upside down
Same goes here
The music helped lol
Rolling the plane upside down to gain attitude was bad ass moment. Smart move.
1:32 :those snare pops and the music change had me clapping and rubbing my hands together! Hands freaking down, this is the best video I’ve seen from you guys! The animation looks amazing, the cuts with the archival photos are absolutely top notch, and the volume of the music with the archival audio was absolutely genius!
This is probably your best video. The research, the narration, the animation, the amazing story and to hear from the man himself as well as see actual photos of the event combines to make it one of the greatest videos yet.
Thanks
@Linux44 have you visited Assam India 🇮🇳
What a great Man 🖐💪🤨

@@Yarnhubhey what is the name of this music at 7:26 ?
This guys Autobiography should be called "Oh what the hell."
Funniest thing about this is the fact that number 4 is consider bad luck in Japan because it pronounce similar to the word of Death. So his 44th sorties would be doubling the death to be death-er and this mad man still survive that by literally flipping his bird. Fate has some sense of humor
I'm from Shillong less than 100km from Assam. Never knew such heroic stories exist in North East India in WW2. Thank you so much Yarnhub
Hey fellow north eastern!

Yeah man…the Japanese were literally knocking on the door ….I’m from Sri Lanka and its amazing how close the war came to our shores if it weren’t for brave men like these
china will cut siliguri.
Thank you Yarnhub, this was an amazing story that was told by a hero. Not only the wonderful pilot, but an amazing storyteller who helps bring war stories lost to history, back to the light
The P40 was a very underrated aircraft. Durable and packed a punch with 6 50 caliber guns.
This was a storytelling masterpiece! The way you wove the actual voice and pictures into the narrative brought this story to life in a way I've only rarely experienced.
Hats off to the YarnHub team!
The actual gun cam footage makes this one of the best productions out there. That is absolutely amazing.
“And then I got smart” the only thing I’ll be able to relate to with this badass
the smooth transitions between animation and real life footage, the action packed story, EVERYTHING just EVERYTHING is amazing about the content yarnhub makes!
This man truly take the word "Screw it" to a whole new level
You mean bad ass
It's amazing that about every move he made was based on "Ah what the hell, let's see what happens" xDD
Unbelievable he said " Now I got Smart" the Man was Genies the Entire Flight!!!! Amazing Skill and Talent!!
The pilot made me laugh and cry at the same time.
I love the way you matched the gun camera footage with the animated video.
This is excellent, please keep up the good work by never letting these guys be forgotten,.
Every day is poppy day. 👍
Thank you
Hearing real anecdotes tend to elicit that "laugh and cry" reaction. Like the soldier who once started a battle by dumbingly using a hand grenade during a truce to try and hunt a fox for its pelt. Let's say that Lt. Adairs "what if I fly her _upside down?"_ moment is more of a big brain moment than THAT!
You know that you are a good pilot when you keep shittalking about your enemies while fighting them
I just received the Academy 1/48 scale kit of this particular P-40N. I didn't realise it had such an interesting battle!
He couldn't stay inverted for long due to the carb, it wasn't designed to run inverted. To keep flying inverted to gain altitude, then right side up to get the engine running again.... Pure genuis and real "out of the box" thinking! A saying comes to mind.... "If it sounds stupid but it works, it isn't stupid!"
7:24 bro… what a legend
7:23 *oh.. what the hell*
The first videos were like 2D and now it’s like a movie love the content btw
I am from the place from where this encounter took place. The depiction of the scenery is perfect. It was called "The hump" and if you get shot down in this jungles, enemies will be the least of your worries, the green hell will swallow you.
Mad respect to all the airman on each side that mustered the courage to fly over this forsaken jungle.
have you ever found any cool artifacts?
@@linux4425 Yeah, in the past, wreckages of WW-II aircraft were recovered from North East India. One of the recent discoveries was the human remains from the wreckage of a B24 bomber, nicknamed Hot as Hell that crashed in a remote corner of Arunachal Pradesh in January 1944. While the site was identified in 2006, the human remains were recovered only in 2016.
Despite the risks, flying over the Hump was necessary during the WW-II as the Allied Forces were building an aero-bridge to maintain the supply line for the Chinese war effort of Chiang Kai-shek and the units of the United States Army Air Forces based in China.
According to one estimate, more than 1,300 US veterans were lost in the China-Burma-India theatre. In recent years, several crash sites were located in Assam, Nagaland, and Tripura states of India.
@@Dimapur Interesting. Do you know if the remains were identified?
@@linux4425 if they Can identify the plane wreckage then it should be easy to identify the crew since there will be records of that. He said the bomber wreckage had "Hot as Hell" painted on it. As long as there was only one plane with that livery, then it should be easy to identify it in aviation records, where the names of all of the crew members should then be found.
@@Mika-ph6ku These kind of good ideas are why I love the internet :D
That's what makes someone a damn fine man. Knew his duty and gave it his all to protect those on the ground, knew when he was in over his head, always kept his cool, always thinking. Even when damaged, he was ready for more. What a madlad!
I love how you incorporated the interview in this video!
Man! This story is something else! First, it was nice to hear the person himself narrating what happened. Secondly, the choice of heavy metal music totally matches his attitude. This guy was CRAZY! I can really say this much! HE WAS CRAZY. Every decision making he did was beyond courageous but insanity! 1 vs 64, got lucky first time out, got back at it again? What? And he still got it out alive... and what? He went to chase after the smoking zero with his trim all wrong? What was he expecting? Could he still hit something with that kind of malfunctioning control surface? Then of course he was out of ammo and was hit again, but he got it out alive again! Then what? He flipped his plane upside down again and again to stay airborne..... but he EVEN landed that way by flipping!
He got the skill! He got the guts.... and he got the craziness! That's totally beyond rational thinking you see.
Thanks again for preserving history, and sharing such incredible crazy story of one skillful courageous and insane aviator!
I forgot to mention, you even match those gun camera footage with your rendering. That totally sent shiver on my back!

What an amazing and well put comment. Salutes to the men in the sky in the water and on land 🫡
I live just near the Assam border, spent Some years near the airfield mentioned! My uncle was an engineer in the Indian Air Force back in the 60's and 70's.
Heard this story couple of Times.
Thanks for portraying it Yarnhub!
Love from India!❤️
Say to your uncle that his service is appreciated even here in the Philippines!
An note: We are now finding out the contributions made by INDIA in the fight against the "Axis". Thanks dear Indian friends!
Nahhhh he really attached 64 planes 2 times got a bad engine attacked ANOTHER single plane and lived he’s def a legend
I've been watching your awesome videos since I'm pretty sure about 3 years now and every time the graphics get better and better. Keep up the great work.
Greatest Yarnhub video ever. Gets so much adrenaline into the viewer, and the story is legendary! Beautiful!
Awesome that his family helped out with this. Keeps history alive
This is such an amazing channel. So well done. Thank you
What an amazing story! I've been watching a lot of these videos and I have been really enjoying them. It gets me thinking about how many stories we will never hear about because they were lost through time.
Man I was shocked because I am from Assam and I had never ever imagined that I would find my states name in this channel. I made me so happy man
Okay. You've upped your game again with the real voice, guncam images and the production of just an incredible story of a badass war hero. My thanks to the Adair family, your sharing of events long ago have brought them to life once. It will let people know why Philip Adair was part the greatest generation.
Thank you for the kind words, this kind of thing is why we put so much work into preserving our heritage, and Yarnhubs talented animation team certainly made it that much better.
What a great story. I especially liked how you incorporated gun camera shots and other photos of the event into the illustrations.
What an amazing story, well told. We can't forget these brave men.
What an amazing story, well told. We can't forget these silly buggers who survived by dumb luck. If he really was such a 'hot shot' why did they not just send this guy against every single bomber raid alone? or better still have him teach pilots how he went 1:'64' this would have given the US air superiority over the entire globe probably to this very day given no other pilot our country has ever figured out his secret, though AI seems to be close!
My goodness the animation is so breathtakingly lifelike. Best history channel on RUclips.
I didn't think you'd animate the flaps and elevators too, amazing animations
Think out of the box before defeat. A great trait among the few. Thank you for service Lt Philip.
Thank you showing this incredible story . Great job on animation man
this guy was an insanely good pilot
7:26 ok, that's just pure beligerence at this point 🤣
even in life death situation, he was able to get an perfect idea. That's awesome and a great presence of mind.
Yeah, I can't imagine flying left to right. Fast and hard, bullets flying over you. What helped him do these is his love for his people and home. He was worried about his people in the base so he was hyped up about knocking the enemy planes out of the blue sky.
LT. Adair had a badass paint job with that skull. Enemy remembered that bird for sure.
Include audio from an interview elevated this video, and it was already good to start with.
I also love the facial close ups and the expressiveness around the eyes.
Man I’ve been missing the show “dogfights” for years. This is a fantastic follow up. Well done, Yarnhub for telling these stories.
WOW, this fighter pilot had a real warrior's attitude.
The way you put these stories together is absolutely Stellar. Including the actual gun footage with the cgi was really cool.
for my fellow music connaisseurs, the two metal/rock songs used are: ''Defenders Unite'' and ''Speed Devil"
Adair: "Oh, what the hell!"
Adair moment later each time: "Oh crap, I got myself in kinda mess here".
he was on this earth for 97 years, and let me tell you... that was the story of his life XD
@@linux4425 You're grandfather was a very brave and daring man. I'm glad to have heard his story which I've never encountered before. Definitely was a once in a lifetime event in his long life. Salute!
@@BattleAxe1345 Thank you, he loved talking about this. I can't even imagine the look on his face if he were to read this comment thread
Ye old P-40 Warhawk. A tough dependable aircraft. Adair's courage and daring sortie is nothing short of legendary. The Burma Banshee's skull motif is very famous, I grew up seeing pictures of their planes in many books about WW2 in the Far East theater.
A hero. A real hero. And never said he was either. Amazing story. Thanks for sharing this.
That man is a legend! ‘Well what the hell so i attacked him’😂 thank you for your service
Anyone who's served their country deserve the utmost respect, not just that they served their country with their life! True veterans!
AMAZING, BRAVERY, AND GENIUS GETTING INTO AND OUT OF SUCH AN AMAZING FIGHT.
This is one of the most badass stories I've ever heard in my life
My uncle was stationed in Burma during WW2. He learned about radios and electronics in the Army. Pretty good for somebody who never finished high school.
Did he know general Aung San or heard of it?
my grandad was there as well
this mad man encountered an entire Air force! I am definitely buying a burma banshee hoodie. This Man's Heraldry should be known throughout the entire world. He was as Skilled and incredible As the legendary red baron. The burma banshee should be just as well known.
I swear, someday, this channel's animation and art style quality will rival Arcane's. I am aware that I am being ridiculous, though one man can only hope and dream.
I'm amazed at how we can watch this high quality animated documentary for free. The animation has improved a lot.
“You need to wait for your squad” weak aura
“FUCK IT WE BALL” strong aura
Hi I'm from Myanmar (Burma) and I'm happy to watch the historical video about what was happened in Myanmar
RESPECT to all who fought in Myanmar
Always been a fan of yarnhub videos never even expecting a world war 2 dogfight in the skies of my state ASSAM was around the corner .....Thank you guyz...yarnhub is getting more and more awesome day by day.
These animations are literally next-level for a RUclips channel. You guys can literally make a full feature film and it would be a hit
God i love it when you superimpose actual footage or audio over your videos! This was amazing!
You wouldn’t believe even in a movie! As a fellow Veteran thank you for your service!
Simply amazing! From taking on 64 enemy planes to coming up with a way to keep his damaged plane airborne and nurse it back to the base. A great pilot.
The story, the action, the voice of the Philip R. Adair along with the rock and roll music against the Japanese is just over the top in my opinion and I love it.
This team has just continued to prove time and time again how incredibly good of a channel this it. Wonderful video. I believe the genuine voice and imagery from Adair makes this your best video yet. Amazing keep it up. 🎉
I was so happy i always wanted to see a video from you guys about the Burma Banshees!
Yet another incredible video, keep up the great work and thank you for telling yet another truly great story
Thank you for the like Yarnhub
Man, Thank god i found this channel, in many history documentary they never talk about this thing. How lucky i am to found this channel.

Damn this is fantastic content, it is amazing to see how far your channel has come over all these years, keep up this high quality work!
What a great pilot and fantastic historical story of one of the "Greatest Generation" !!!
Sgt, Semper Fi ❤🤍💙
Another fantastic job on the video!
I like that you can go to the older videos and see the progression of quality.
Hell of a production, folks! Thank you for keeping these stories alive!
And it goes without saying but hot damn the quality of these videos keeps getting better and better and better!
i m from burma and i appreciate what he has done for us. thank you so much
Thankyou for your service Sir.
From 2D to animations that look like actual movies
😂This guy is just like the biggest gamer ever cuz he acted like a normal gamer but with his own life on the line. 🙌 Huge respect for him.
I suspect that gamers playing milsims would likely behave very similarly as actual combatants as they do in the games. The way this legend was behaving during this fight, his thought process, his charisma, his sarcastic manner, etc; all perfectly mirror how I think and behave in milsims like war Thunder or arma.
@@Mika-ph6ku Well War Thunder is only milsim in sim mode obviously but I guess if I'd die irl when my pilot dies ingame I'd probably act different than how I act ingame.
@@SotGravarg Obviously that goes without saying. I'm talking general behavior. It's not gonna be surprise at all that a person would be more reckless in a game than IRL.
I think serious or even try hard in dc-10 or war thunder simulation mode could make a cockpit and put themself irl mood, would be stressful tho. It's like a simulation exam for pilot using navy or commercial airways cockpit simulation machine.
Awesome. Thank you for your service
that's so cool, so glad his children were able to pass on what they could get about his story.
The cinematic quality of these films are just getting better and better. Top drawer stuff indeed.
Thank you Yarnhub for making this incredible video of the pilot that challenged the zeroes and the voice of the pilot, that was outstanding altitude maneuver to keep the plane from crashing down. Keep up the good work I’ll be waiting for more historic wartime story videos
amazing story and animation ...well done
