@@strike5029 You think folks "these days” are so much different 🤣😂 You were just waiting for an excuse to talk about your time in the Army. Funny that just shows you couldn’t make it in the real world so you needed the Army to babysit you until you were mature enough to get a real job.
4:37 Anyone know what that puff of smoke and what looks like a projectile coming towards the camera is? My first thought was an AA gun at the airfield, but it seems way too low velocity for that.
Good question. If it was AA, if failed miserably, POP...! Perhaps something blowing up and launching burning debris, with a larger cloud of white smoke in the place.
Really makes you wonder what the story behind it is - Luftwaffe test flying a captured RAF bird and getting bounced by Allied aircraft? Unfortunate friendly fire incident?
@@Tekisasubakani It would be cool to know the story. I bet it's just mistaken identity, since that would have happened far more frequently than any other explanation I can think of. I've done it many times in online simulation, although not against such a distinctive-looking aircraft as a Mossie. Or maybe just a wrong clip mixed in by some RUclipsr recently? LOL.
@@Darrylx444 A quick search through the wikipedia list of WWII friendly fire incidents for "mosquito" gives two results, neither of which fit this footage. Of course, given the scale of WWII I have no doubt there are plenty of friendly fire incidents that were listed as something else. Perhaps someone accidentally mixed in the gun camera reel from a Luftwaffe fighter?
There something about ww2 footage that terrifies me more than any other
Yes, it's called having it's either you or me mentality. And a very different outlook about war that people just don't have these days.
@@strike5029What a ridiculous statement. You must be a kid
@guaporeturns9472 yeh a 57 year old one. As well as a 8 year Army veteran.

1:07 - that'd be right, you know what the septics are like.
1:21 is insanely low altitude strafing, and the whole next 20 seconds feature incredible gunnery accuracy
I honestly feel like one of those pilots might have ended up pancaking, some of those are lower than a snake's belly in a rut.

Looks like debris or something. molten metal probably.
Harsh reality of war that so many fought for OUR freedoms.
Never forget.😢
1:12 That's a British Mosquito, not an enemy.
@@Darrylx444 Good eye. You can see the damage it took in that second shot.
Came here to say the same - the streamlined engines are a dead giveaway.

II do alot of ww2 era flight sim. idk how these guys got their planes off the ground with their giant steel balls.
