"One take!" \o/
"Take my money!!" Fry, Futurama.
Would it be possible to get a German edition at same point? Highschool German teacher here, I can almost guarantee I have more than a few students who would be interested in this.
@@Mazeura9184 they have 2 other books that have German on the left and English on the right. I bet your students would like those.
Too bad indegogo won’t recognize my card, first website ever… Will the book be on sale later like on Amazon or other?
I really enjoyed the cockpit tour. Incredible what's inside - the exterior of an entire plane...!!!
exactly. NO SHOTS INSIDE THE COCKPIT!!
The museum would not let him walk on the a/c.
@@rayF4rio ... but I'm sure they would be okay with him changing the title of the video...
Damm Click-Bait... Skipped all the way trough the Video and been very disappointed to have litterly NO INSIDE COCKPIT VIEW
@@rayF4rio would of thought he could get a ladder and film from above or something lol
Inside the cockpit - "Cockpit not available due to conservation reasons." So let's watch "Outside the cockpit". EDIT - still worth watching, thank you"
Ha, quite right!
Hahaha GOTEM
Looking for this comment, I only clicked to see the cockpit :(
He used to include video from a simulator that at least gave you some idea of the cockpit
@@rtello45 to be fair, that's always been a good thing to do as good sims are often as good as the real thing :-)
20:00 “a very violent machine/ground interface” that’s probably the most eloquent description of a crash I’ve ever heard
.........did you not put that on the insurance form.........
That and the word Prang! The destruction of ones aircraft, The sound made when an aircraft comes into something solid, like the ground, usually preceded by a long decent, or short one.
Stuka won't crash because he runs off cocaine red bull and mountain dew and because it is the only thing that keeps him from thinking about his ex wife who left him for the chad me 262
Dude! You left out the MOST important part! (HUMAN/machine /ground interface) LOL
Germans always find a way in any language to explane something easy with high professional descriptions. 😄
"Inside the cockpit"
"cockpit not accessible"
I've never given a video a thumbs down in my life. First time for everything.
I give your thumbs down a thumbs down, no wait two thumbs I have two thumbs, have two!
@@edwardschmitt5710 ok? Cool. You do you bro
My grandfather was a late war Stuka pilot in the Ost Front. I still have photos of him in his trainer plane, in the barracks, at the range and other pics. He also gave me his flugbuch, badges and his copy of the Der Adler that featured Stukas.
That’s awesome.. you should have a RUclips channel talking about his time in the stuka
Thats is so incredibly kool love to see and hear about it
Not gonna lie, the way Bismarck posed around the plane and shows it off gives me big Car Salesman Vibe. :D

Edit- I now realize this joke was already done
that "one take" cheer was amazing, also the "machine-human-ground interface" was a good drachnifiel level joke. The "dryer" the humour is, the better
Bit like my other favourite he uses a lot: Brown Alert
I thought it was hilarious, even more so in German, at least as funny and grim as cumular granite, I think that was a US slang expression for what we call land LOL

Came here only for cockpit shots. Watched everything despite no cockpit shots, because the content is absolutely top notch!
“ONE TAKE!” Well done! I’ve read about the aiming window, but never seen one. Thanks very much indeed. Great information about a truly fascinating aircraft.
I never heard about any of that with the siren before. Such a small detail but that must have been so annoying to the crew until the upgrade.
Must admit, I didn't know that the siren was 'fixed' on in the early days but that does explain the scene in the first, (and easily best)version of the movie Dunkirk when the 25pdr battery gets plastered by Stukas and you can hear the sirens droning away as the aircraft approach and then as they leave - always wondered about that and whether it was a 'goof' on the part of the movie makers. Now I know it wasn't!
Okay what happen to the round siren that I always see in photos and film? Was that the field installed unit?

Could you enlighten us how you prepare for such a long, detailed tour?
Thanks so much! Short answer, manuals and a lot of talking to a mirror.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory had a sudden image of the image in the mirror independently giving scathing reviews to Bismarck on his delivery
@@MilitaryAviationHistory And you're doing it in your second language! I got 6% in my German exam at school. Sorry
“Stuka Pilot” was my favorite as a kid, so naturally I can’t wait to get my hands on your new book. Congratulations!
You just have to love the term " to avoid a very violent machine/human/ground interface ", i.e crash, that cracks me up every time, love your videos.
*Reason for the mg13 weak machine guns on the Stuka:* Tracers to mark the bomb line. Not an easy thing to line up a bomb during a dive, you need a witness to see how to correct your approach. By firing a long burst you can see your line of trajectory. If the guns are on target at a specific range, you know it's time to release and pull up. Or you can also use that same line of fire to gauge your off-mark drop (say if you want to be safer and drop the bomb early, It's literally a marking tool (even for ground troops) more than a fighting piece of equipment.)
You're welcome :)
Pretty small comfort for the tail gunner- it was like shooting ducks for the Spitfires. (and to have survived that long, Rudel's gunner was a real rara avis) What was the life expectancy- 3 weeks? The least they could have done was give them a .50 or even a cannon.
@@scriptsmith4081 I have no source for this but playing a bit of War Thunder made me realize how easy it must have been to accidentally shoot your own tail off, if it wasn't because the game's systems stop you. SOOO take my theorycrafting with a considerable grain of salt.
I wouldn't trust myself under deadly pressure and threat, to aim at a moving target to not shoot my own tail off in a moving vehicle (that I'm not driving) while attempting to down the enemy fighter. So I have a theory as to why the machine guns may have been kept at that caliber. Despite being a tad underpowered, they can go through the cockpit glass, and since you have the target facing you, chances are fairly high that you'll hit something important (prop, engine, or pilot). The small ammo would allow for more rounds in the plane, and depending on the machinegun it would have a higher firing rate because of that light ammo. So while it's damage is low it's killing power remains fairly OK (kinda how a .22lr isn't exactly going to knock you down with a shot to the torso like a shotgun round would, but it will kill you just as easy if it hits something vital). A bigger caliber would make the tail gunner more deadly yes, but I believe that the fire rate would be a bit more limited, ammo would be more limited, and any mistake near your own tail would be even more deadly.
I believe this is further proven by the Stuka D having a twin machinegun as opposed to a cannon. Accuracy by volume (more shots = more chance ONE hits the target), better ranging via tracers, better suppression (having more bullets fly DIRECTLY at you, is a better deterrent), but also less chance that a mistake by the gunner is deadly (although at double the fire rate 🤣).
Can't wait to see this cause I am going to the RAF museum this year
Edit:thank you for all the likes!
They have a me-110 aswell it’s great
Fantastic collection, you'll enjoy it!
I went in 2015 and it was wonderful.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory let's just hope the "virus" doesn't mess anything up
It's great. There is one in London, and a bigger one Near Cambridge. They are both amazing. I was blown away by the Beaufighter at the museum in London. It is a true beast of war!
Outstanding look at the Ju-87! Thank you very much! Ever since I was a kid (56 now) I have always found the Stuka to be the coolest-looking, most original aircraft only seconded by the F-4U Corsair. I had a Cox .049 powered, line controlled flying model back in the day, as well as many models that I have built through the years. I consider modern crop dusting aircraft, like the Cessna Ag Truck, Turbo Thrush Commander, and many others to be distant relatives. Bombing tanks or bombing bugs and fires, the designs are very similar.
Saw this very same plane a few years ago. The sheer size of this aircraft amazed me.
It was actually quite large the Ju 87 G2 as it weights over 2,700 kg empty without the 2 Bordkanone BK 3,7 gun-pods 295 kg each which all this was moved with a Jumo 211J with 1,400 hp. It was slow and quite cumbersome...
The WW2 planes look huge up close. Then you get to the Vulcan, lol.
@@neilwilson5785 Some do, some don't. I was at Duxford a few years back, the standouts size wise were comparing the Corsair and the Wildcat/Martlet; and the Lancaster, once inside (just looking inside near the rear on s special opening) seemed a lot smaller from that POV.
Thanks for the video ! I didn't know there were such well restored stukas. It is important, I think, to emphasize how this aircraft was technically advanced and elaborate for its time. The stuka is really stunning!
"A very violent machine, human ground interface" -- what a lovely way to describe a crash!
It's good to see that the Emblems are still intact. I always thought they looked bad without them. Good job very informative
Thank you so much !!!. What an incredible and feared piece of history
Thank you for your tour of the Junkers JU 87. It had me fascinated from beginning to end. You certainly know your stuff!
Holy crap! i did not expect this to ever make it on the channel! the Stuka is so awesome!
Im so excited to get the book, cant wait
Had he pleasure of being up at the RAF Museum last Friday, no less and the JU-87 was one of (the many) highlights there, so this is a very nice addendum to it. Many thanks!
Shame that RAF Hendon really f*cked up their displays by closing the excellent 'Battle of Britain' focused hall. What a dsigrace. Now the aircraft are just crammed in and littered across other halls. Someone should be sacked there for having such little foresight.
I'm curious how this compares to the Japanese Aichi D3A, also having fixed gear. If the book covers this, I'll find out when I get it.
The IJN did buy a Stuka for trials, but for them range was a must.
They are very comparable with the D3A being generally superior to the significantly older Ju 87B, but perhaps a little inferior to the more contemporary Ju 87 D. Compared to the D model, the D3A had more range, but the Ju 87 could carry considerably more ordnance.
Don’t know if any D3As still exist
@@mattbowden4996 Yes, but that mainky reflects design priorities, the Ju 87D got extra wing tanks that improved range and the was no reason for the B to not have them... other than the fact it was a CAS aircraft and the 1.000Kg payload was prioritized.
The D3A was a carrier aircraft, where range is far more important, so they traded payload for fuel capacity.
The D3A did sink more tonnage throughout the war
Thank you for making this informative video about the Junkers Ju 87 for us.
I hadn't realized the anti-tank Stukas were mostly used against breakthroughs. Sounds very much analogous to the US tank destroyer doctrine -- put a gun capable of stopping a tank onto vehicles quick enough to converge on and slow or stop an armored breakthrough that had pierced the front lines. The Luftwaffe's version was just even more mobile.
It does sound like the best way to use the aircraft.
Given that it's quite slow and has little air to air defence capabilities.
Us Brits did the same early in the desert campaign where we used the tropicalised Hurricane fitted with a 2 pounder anti-tank gun under each wing with 12 rounds per gun. In the hands of an experienced pilots they were deadly to both Italian and the early German tanks. They had to be flown pretty fast and low to do the job though as the recoil from the 2 pounders almost stalled the aircraft!
@@grunthostheflatulent9649 yes especially in the later war periods when aerial superiority was lost and the stuka was extremely vulnerable to enemy fighters. Pretty much only viable role at that point.
Thank you so much. Looking forward to the book!
Messerschmitt BF 109 // Junkers JU 87 // Heinkel HE 111 -- Just pure PURE love for these planes.
Was looking forward to this for a while, definitively worth the wait. Also didn't the C model for carrier operations also have the gear blowing off feature too?
That is correct, it was first trialed with the development of the C model but was not put into actual use until the D-5
The Germans had carrier operations?
@@MilitaryAviationHistory - "Inside the Cockpit". We won't be able to go inside the cockpit. 😡
@@davidtuttle7556 They were building a carrier, almost finished, so obviously they would have had planes for it.

@@schicktmirkarakale1232 nope he still sounds a bit foreign to me (im german)😂
@@herrsiroktopuss looking around on google tells me he's German, but he's been living, studying and working in the UK for a long time, so it sounds like he's got some Britishness leaking into his native language. That can happen, I had a russian teacher who had lived in the UK for so long that she ended up speaking russian with a slight British accent even though she was born and raised in russia.
Thank you. A really extra interesting Inside the Cockpit. I've been fascinated with the Ju 87 since I was a child, and learnt so much about it here! :-)
Love your passion for aviation history. Never lose that. Keep up the great work. Maybe you could cover the Junkers Ju-88 R2 next
"violent machine/human/ground interface." I wonder how many people did not understand that was clever humor for "crash"?
Those trim tabs are huge - was that due to the differences in behavior before and after bomb release? I would think a well designed airframe would not normally need such large tabs.
Some other possibilities would be to lower input forces for the auto-trim system, to increase the aerodynamic efficiency when heavily trimmed and to allow variants to share parts. The second possibility would definitely play into what you were talking about.
Regarding that siren (early models). Had I been a Stuka pilot back then, I would have found a way to "write it up" as _inop_ during my pre-flight. edit: Awfully nice of the RAF Museum to give you free acces to their display. Well done "old boy".
Between 1978 and 1988 I worked at the Government Aircraft Factories in Port Melbourne, Victoria. It was a very multi-cultural workforce, like all manufacturing in Australia, then and nowadays. While there I overheard a conversation between a few workers, being led by one of the blokes from Malta, saying how wonderful Malta was and that we should all go to see it. One of the blokes then said he wasn't really impressed with Malta, everyone there was very unfriendly, did nothing for him. Puzzled, the first bloke asked him when he'd seen Malta, and why didn't he like it. The answer was that the bloke wasn't visiting as such and that the few times he was looking at Malta was through the bombsight of his Stuka, and people kept shooting at him.
This was a very interesting walk around Chris, thank you for providing such an excellent description and some history behind the Stuka. I am currently reading Hans Ulrich Rudel's biography "Stuka Pilot" and it brought me here for some additional information. I love your channel and have been watching you for a couple years. You have one of the best channels on RUclips related to military aviation history. I especially like when you get inside the plane and describe the cockpit. Thanks again and hello from Kentucky, USA.
Did it in one take.....very impressive
I would want to avoid a violent, ground, human interface.
One more like.
Really great presentation! Learned a number of new things about the Ju87, thanks!
Congratulations on the publication of your Stuka book. The Stuka is a fascinating aircraft, great walk around as usual.
"...violent machine/human/ground interface..." Have you been hanging out with Drachinifel? 'Cause that qualifies as a Drach-ism...
that one is homegrown, somehow made it up on the spot. rather proud of myself lol #thelittlethings
Seems a lot more like Scott Manley Rapid Unplanned Disassembly! Lolz.
Or military history Visualized, "we will cross that bridgehead when we get to it"
"One take"!
I was indeed very impressed how fluent this presentation went ... aside a minor hick-up (13:57) and a missing/stolen(?) book at the end ;-)
PS: I missed the Inside-aspect though :-( ... was really looking for that. Hopefully there is another chance in the future :-)
This was an amazing video. I would have loved to see something like this when I was 20, but am so grateful that channels like this are around now.
The book is already "missing" from the interpretive display as Bis/Chris starts his walk around about 2 minutes in. I think the book might be in his back pocket. It might be one of those situations where you can't find your glasses because you forgot you are wearing them, but Chris would have to confirm or deny that himself.
EDIT - the book is there at 2 minutes in, there is some inserted footage as Chris is talking, and then when we return to the footage of Chris as he is talking at 2:10, the book is gone. So that would be an extremely sneaky thief!
That was a fantastic video my friend. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative half hour.
You and Nicholas Moran are, IMO the very best at these 'get around' videos.
Thank you very much.
Excellent video. Look forward to the book.
One question: did the gunner/radio operator sit backwards while diving? That must have been some roller coaster ride, coming out of the dive!
🤢🤮
They could turn their seat (which had no back rest🤔) around and look forward
@@theonlymadmac4771 thanks! That's one thing that had always puzzled me.
You just made me realise being a backseat gunner must have been a lot more fun than one would think. lol, man these wars sure created a lot of adrenaline junkies. I was just talking about Chuck Yeager today, how he was stuck with that need for speed after diving on fw190's doing 900 kmh in his mustang from 30 000ft lol. There was no other way out for him after that other than being a test pilot and eventually breaking the speed of sound. Imagine the fn feeling during those dives... In those crazy new machines and equipment. Guaranteed he had the shakes with a pasty mouth coming home. Thirsty. What a crazy time to be alive as a young man. Either put in a tank or in the dirt, in a war plane or thrown overboard in a parachute. Conquering entire cities and nations. Entering places you would never be allowed to see in a life time. All that while being forced to kill each other like it's a game of who wins. There's no winners other than the ones not fighting. But there's no evolution for those either. No speed of sound. No nuclear. No internet. Nothing. Crazy I tell ya lol

The view from below makes it even more impressive! Beautiful aircraft!
First air victory of the war was by a Stuka using MG 17s...
Really, what was the kill?
@@chriscarbaugh3936 A poor Polish fighter pilot caught taking off just as the Stukas attacked.
Bad luck.
weaponsandwarfare.com/2019/04/20/fighters-over-poland/
As the Stukas of I./StG 2 were returning from their strike, they passed over Balice airfield just as PZL fighters of the III/2 Dywizjon (121st and 122nd Eskadry), attached to the Army of Kraków, were taking off. By sheer chance one of the Stuka pilots, Ltn. Frank Neubert, found himself in position to get a burst from his wing guns into the leading P.11c’s cockpit, after which he reported that it “suddenly explode[d] in mid-air, bursting apart like a huge fireball-the fragments literally flew around our ears.” Neubert’s Stuka had scored the first air-to-air victory of World War II-and killed the commander of the III/2 Dyon, Kapitan Mieczyslaw Medwecki.
Medwecki’s wingman, Porucznik (Lieutenant) Wladyslaw Gnys of the 121st Eskadra, was more fortunate, managing to evade the bombs and bullets of the oncoming trio of Stukas and get clear of his beleaguered airfield. Minutes later, he encountered two returning Do 17Es of KG 77 over Olkusz and attacked. One went down in the village of Zurada, south of Olkusz, and Gnys was subsequently credited with the first Allied aerial victory of World War II. Shortly afterward, the wreckage of the other Do 17E was also found at Zurada and confirmed as Gnys’s second victory. None of the German bomber crewmen survived.
According to Mahler's book, the pilots disliked the auto-recovery system and disconnected it, claiming it made them too predictable for the flak.
Might be their experience (or how it felt like) but that's probably more linked to gunners knowing the approx altitude of a pull out (usually around 1000m) than the dive recovery system. When pulling out, you also suddenly show a lot of surface to incoming bullets, so wouldnt be surprised if they felt at their most vulnerable then.
@@MilitaryAviationHistory Likely.
if you dont have it I really recommend the book, he was a KM pilot and would have flown from the GZ if completed, of course that didnt happen and he was "stolen" by the LW and flew in France, Britain, Malta and the USSR.
His unit did some night dive bombing as well.
A lot of Sherman tank crews disconnected the gyroscopic devices on their tanks as well. Others loved it and fired on the move. I guess that commanders had different views on fire and movement.
Excellent Chris thanks for sharing
Brilliant - I've just found you and will be watching more.
Is there another fixed landing gear aircraft that had/has an explosive device to blow off the gear in an emergency? Seems both novel and dangerous. Thanks for another great video.
I dont think they would have installed it if it was considered dangerous
The FW190 and Me410, used external rocket tubes for breaking up bomber formations... they were wired with explosive bolts (the same kind used in rockets and missiles today). So if the pilot was under attack by enemy fighters he could jettison the heavy rocket tubes in emergencies -
I bet the Russian 'emergency blow off device' would have been a rope to tie round your waist and a hacksaw.....
The version of the siren that can't be turned off reminds me of my ex-wife.
Very well done! I thought I knew quite a bit about the Ju87. I learned a few things. Thanks.
Awesome video. Fantastic knowledge you possess!
Iconic aircraft.
I take it that the MGs in the wing fired through the cover plate in the leading edge that was just over your head? (Obviously the plate would have been removed for that.)
Did you have any pictures of the dive brakes from a non-tank-buster variant that you could show?
I love the phrase "violent human-machine-ground interface".
Do you have any information about how the dive recovery system works?
LOL at triumphant "ONE TAKE!" at the end.
Great video as always!
Thanks Dave, yes the fixed weapons were installed outboard of each gear
Excellent overview of this amazing aircraft. Simple, but effective in its role.
Great video and tour of the air frame.
Do you have any information or documentation about the He 219 Nightfighter?
My father flew this bird in the second WW in Denmark at the 2/NJG 3 (zweite Gruppe Nachtjagdgeschwader drei).
Your site is very interesting therefore subscribed and thumbs up !
There is only one that survived that is displayed in America. Do you happen to have any documentary from your father? Like pictures or else, it would be an absolute rarity and treasure for any Luftwaffe historian.
@@snofrid8662 Unfortunately I don't have much, three flight logs with entries for the Ju 88 from 1943, a few photos with cockpit shots, some bright yellow sheets about the position of the stars in 1943, a parachute grab when he had to get out due to icing in October 1944, but the radio operator stayed with him hang with the parachute in the rudder of the Me 110.
My father came from a humble background and had excellent training in the Air Force. He had the ELF 2A (extended air force driver's license class 2 with astronomical training).
He was only allowed to fly the He 219 6 times for testing in Denmark, he was enthusiastic about this night fighter. Major Streib shot down six Lancaster bomber in a single night with an armed He 219. After the war he was supposed to join the newly formed Air Force as a lieutenant in 1955, but he hated the war and refused...
When the title is literally "Inside the cockpit"
"Cockpit not available due to conservation reasons"
🤔
I actually scrolled through the entire video looking for the cockpit part...lol
I kept waiting, then I saw that pop up on screen - immediately stopped watching and hit the "not interested".
That was excellent. What a great piece engineering too.
Grandfather was with StG168, StG77, StG151 and SG 151. Was in the start of the program in 1937 as a 23 year old transfer from the Army (because he did so well on his physical fitness test).
He said engine replacement parts were a key breakdown in the system for the D. Grounded many aircraft around 1942 onward when parts were ordered and parts for the B would arrive from Germany. Wrong version or radiators also arrived much to the grief of the aircrews.
WHY?! Why put a title Inside The Cockpit when there is no cockpit showing?
I've asked that question once before! It's pretty lame everyone wants to see inside the cockpit of any plane but especially a Stuka!!
Thank you so much for this, most appreciated. I belive I have heard, that someone, somewhere is building a flying replica, does anyone kvow more about that? ;o)

Good video and great information....but you made the video, knew you didnt have cocokpit video and still titled "Inside the cockpit". Solid clickbait and some bullshit...
The series is called Inside The Cockpit - but as indicated sometimes conservation (and radiation) doesn't allow it. Generally I always prioritise planes that have access to the cockpit for the series but sometimes it's simply not possible, hope you still enjoyed it :)
I thought this too on another video, apparently it’s the name of the video series. So not really clickbait at all but confusing until you know that fact, yes

Always informative, interesting and worthwhile. Thank you!
This is everything I wanted to know about the Stuka! First class!
Great information! Thank you. Good luck with your book.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting!
Very, very well done. Thanks.
I knew embarrassingly little about the Stuka; thank you so much for educating me. I have seen the other 2 surviving Stukas that are restored or being restored. I visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and seeing their Stuka was one reason why I went. Unfortunately it is hanging from the ceiling so it is not particularly easy to examine. I also went to the Paul Allen Flying Heritage Museum in Seattle and saw theirs. That is a stunning collection and I didn't even know they are restoring a Stuka before I got there. It is on display during its restoration.
I have a 1/32 scale model of the tank busting variant. Thanks for all the great information!! Will be helpful when I construct it!

Yet another superlative video Bismarck. And all in One Take too!
One of my favorite aircraft, the Ju 87. About the fixed leg landing gear, the two legs were actually stablizers for the whole aircraft structure by putting the CG (center of gravity) point somewhere below the pilot's floor board. This reduced the roll and gave the aircraft better overall stability. And I believe the reason for blowing off one of the legs of a damaged plane was to get rid of the one sided effect brought on by the CG shifting. The second reason would be to give the crew extra speed and maneuverability to beat any fighter aircraft attacks (which were many).
After the war in the 1950's the Americans incoporated many of the concepts of the Ju 87 into their Skyraider and later the warthog A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft.
Another nice video and congratulations on the book!
