Great video, despite the fact that there was no steam! By the way, has the Southern Pacific GS-4 “Daylight” engine also been retired? I miss seeing that thing! 🙁

It helped close the gap in air cover over Torpedo Alley in the North Atlantic during the war. The Brits got a special long-range version. No tail or belly gunner positions. Extra fuel bladders and 20mm cannons in the nose turret. A U-Boat killer.

Lawn darts

They used to have one of those in Bellevue Ohio. I don't know if it's still in operation or not .

Wow, they did a gret job of restoration on that 100 year old locomotive! It looks almost new!

00:00 - 00:26 isso daria um bom ecranoplano.

Shocking to see the stark technological contrast in 1950 from the propeller planes and rescue helicopters. The props were at their zeniths.

I see all the Minot tails got off the ground before the Barksdale tales.... Standard.

My uncle was an aireal photographer for about forty years. He's retired and in his eighties. I'm going to show this to him. He will probably recognize the equipment. He doesn't go out much anymore. I can tell he misses it.

A couple slates say the cameraman was Bates. Maybe it was Jim Bates who filmed the tank duel at the Cologne Cathedral?

Sure is nice to see these old birds, wish Dad were still here to watch with me. He was a nose gunner in a Privateer, VPB-109, late 1944 to war's end. His squadron tested the Bat operationally, but it was a special crew trained specifically for it, and the plane was modified to carry it. Dad said the rest of the squadron wasn't allowed near it, for security reasons (it was still considered "secret" weaponry). If this film *is* from Okinawa and the date correct, Dad's squadron was stationed there at that time. That plane carrying the Bat *may* have been a plane from the 109.

encore une vidéo géniale!! avec plein de détails sur les caméras, merci!!

Beautiful and capable aircraft.

Interesting video of a unique lens , very enjoyable

The A3D had all of the ALQ that the Navy had. Search on UA-cam for Navy ALQ.

I have always loved the P-38 as a fighter. Now this shows how versatile they were with the recce role as well. Thanks

Thanks again !

Great footage! Thank you!

We had the opportunity to shoot this air-to-air footage of the Planes of Fame P-38 from the tail position in their B-25; enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/4oo71eRN4Ew/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

I was the historian for the 67th Cyberspace Wing and I've informed the current historian of this video on your channel. Our wing was bestowed the honors of the group so you're viewers may like to know where this history now resides.

Applaud_Applaud more-more! Loved it! Thank you!

God bless all those heroes who defended freedom flying over Europe risking their lives for us!

Very important bit of kit there; can’t wait to see how it evolves further down the line! Awesome footage!

An aerial demonstration team you see hardly ever. Thank you!

This film illustrates that the US Navy was using the "curved approach" almost six months before the Royal Navy's FAA claims to have invented it. The airplane at the far right at 2:57 is clearly approaching the carrier in a turn. RN 1835 Squadron received their first Corsair Mk 1's after Aug 15 1943. The first time that RN Fleet Air Arm Corsairs touched a carrier deck was in late Dec '43 when they were craned aboard the HMS Victorious.

That is a very fine looking aircraft. Some excellent flying. Thanks for showing this video.

Love it….i almost would like to Godzilla show up❗️❗️❗️

I saw the JASDF Blue Impulse team at Yakota AB, Japan, when they were still flying the F-86 "Saber" aircrafts. Great show then, great show now!!! 👍🗾🗻💴

Really cool!

This car passed through the railyard at Bellevue, Ohio the evening of May 6, 2024.

What is the bird at the beginning of the video?

Asowm images!!, Greettins from Quilpué, Chile

Great looking birds!!

toujours de superbes documents!! merci.

1:34 Tape covering the gun ports: my father was an Army Air Forces airplane mechanic on various Pacific islands during World War II. He told me that one time they received a shipment of something like 10,000 condoms. They were bit surprised, but they soon came up with a practical use. They stretched the condoms over the exposed barrels of machine guns on planes like the B-17, B-24, and some fighters, and secured them at the base with masking tape. This kept dirt, bugs, and rain out of the barrels, and when the air crews test fired the machine guns after takeoff, the condoms and masking tape burned off instantly.

At 0:53 one of the aircraft isn’t coordinated on approach and yaws towards the deck handler…I don’t know his role and i don’t see paddles, but the yawing incoming airplanes propeller is heading right towards the guy on the deck. And he holds his position…when only the fact that the lucky pilot caught a wire saves the deck handler from getting chewed up by a bolter.

Great films. Thanks!

As far as I know, all but one of the Wildcats that are currently airworthy are FM2s/Wright powered.

Really like the old Navy footage but don't care for the ending with shock value of history being perishable and burning up like a cigarette to paper even if it is true

They are restoring one in what is left of the willow run bomber plant

the usual great stuff...... my grandpa was a Seabee in the Pacific....never hit a Seabee he might be your friends grandfather....

A nice find. Thank you for showing us this beautiful aircraft.

fantastic video...thank you for sharing....Paul in Florida

Another great historical find. Thank you for the time and effort you did to find and research these films. I especially liked the Espiritu Santo footage.

love it fantastic video footage.....makes me proud of America

Question. Have you had opportunity to do any Timelapse star trails with the Sony a6700???

Such a beautiful jet.

Wasn't the Casa Blanca class of CVE later fitted with Hellcats? I believe it was purposely designed as capable of tendering Hellcats as it was designed as a CVE from scratch (not a refitted hull). The Wildcat holds a place in my heart, particularly the FM2 version. I would like to see a full accounting of all of their actions/contributions particularly post Hellcat/Midway to include gun footage. This footage BTW is Awesome, a great find and Thank You for it.

Thanks again Mr. Johnsen for another video of my dad's Navy in the Pacific Theater of WWII. It's really heartwarming to see the brave men who fought to defend freedom in that long gone age of the Greatest Generation. Few is any left now. God Bless them all. God Bless you and yours, and thanks for all you do! God Bless the USA!!

Meanwhile the Russians: we're planning to use our 5th gen. jet in combat by 2070.
