Thanks for sharing and for watching!

…and while your pondering all these dozens of control adjustments you’re on fire and going down. The courage of these crews is beyond description…

My uncle's crew had an engine failure, just inside the German border on the way to Berlin. They jettisoned the 4,000lb "cookie" and carried on to Berlin on three engines to drop the incendiaries. A few weeks later they had a much worse emergency when they were hit by flak, also on the way to Berlin. Two men bailed out, one of which survived. The other five went down with the aircraft.

That's certainly true and one reason I wanted to produce this video - to illustrate the procedures and the need for crews to work as a tight knit team to hope to improve survival. They were brave men indeed.

Once again than you for another brilliant video, the information is perfectly narrated and the video quality is second to none.

I'd really like to know more about the emergency rations, particularly the tomato juice and bovril.

Fascinating video/lecture. I've not got an aviation background and unfamiliar with the technical terms but they seem to have had all eventualities covered. I'd guess it was a fine balance between the bare minimum training to get a pilot operational yet devoting the time and experience to get that qualification.
