The Corsair is my favorite, but the P-51 is so beautiful.

I had a Uncle that was the Top Ball gunner on B-17s during WW2. After the War he got his pilots licenses and would fly every weekend in a Cessna 175 Skylark. At the time I was only around 7-year-old yet we go up and he let me fly the plane. I couldn't even reach the rudder pedals unless I was half out of the seat. Buy the time I was 18 I had learned to fly. He told me going up somehow made him feel closer to God. He passed away in the 90s. Truely this is on my Bucket list before I die. So Lucky.

Top ball? Top turret maybe ?

I have the pleasure of hearing this plane make passes over my place in Palm Springs. I never fail to run out and find it in the sky. It's a beautiful sight.

My dad was a waist gunner in a B17 w the 8th AAF 379Th BG. Flew a lot of combat missions over Europe in the later days of WW2. He said that the P-51 "Little Friends" were a huge game change for the BG's. They could fly ALL the way to and from the mission targets over Germany. Thus, virtually no German fighter threats against the B-17 BG formations. Only the flak became dangerous when the enemy fighters were gone. Amazing aircraft.

My uncle (dad's brother) was a nose gunner in a B-24 during the war. I still have black and white photos of his crew standing and kneeling in front of their airplane. I never heard him talk about it as a young boy growing up. He was a super quiet guy.

I am 82 YO, have loved the P-51s for as long as I can remember, saw them sold as scrap (but they were complete). I was a mechanical engineer and have wanted to fly in one since I knew of them. I saw them fly over my home, central Illinois, during the war, those engines were always awesome. Thanks for this wonderful program and listening to men who actually talked to some of the Airmen from WWII. One of the friends of the family was Forest (old mind, possibly Millikin) who was a bombardier over Germany in a B-17, listened to stories he told my dad.

Thank You

I had a great friend of mine, Lt. Col Jim Sanders (not kidding) who was a bomber/navigator in B-17's in WWII. He had quite a few missions before being shot down and made a guest of the Luftwaffe at Stalag Luft III. He escaped during a forced march by diving into a snowbank and waiting for hours for the column of 10,000 men to march past. He said he also "didn't appreciate being strafed by our own planes" during the march. He was recaptured and sent to Flossenburg in Nuremberg, where he escaped again to freedom in Paris shortly before the war ended. Later he flew in B-52's, and saw action over Korea and Vietnam, and flew Chrome Dome missions during the Cold War before finally retiring. An amazing man, and a good friend to me, he kept learning until he passed in 2005. He told me SO much about flying in the B-17's in WWII. He was partway through writing a book when he died, unfortunately. He had sent me several chapters as he was writing them.

Now that’s more like it! Merlin- best sounding engine ever!!! That’s the sound of freedom, and it’s a lot of BTUs!!!

Great video! Thanks for the tour of the B-17. My Dad was training as a B-17 pilot when,late in the war it was decided that no more pilots were needed and he trained as a gunner, His plane exploded due to an AA round in the bombay. He was on his fourth mssion over the enemy ( about average lifespan) and spent the last four months of WW II as a POW. During the Korean War he was again in the air and this time in the B29.

I love this bird; she's been my favorite since I sat in one as a youngster in 1968. The story of her existence is majestic. Everything about her screams freedom!

Was just at the Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum next to Dulles Airport in Virginia outside of DC. The Enola Gay which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan is housed here and the Bockscar which dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan is on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio. Would highly recommend visiting this museum if you have the time. They also have a SR-71A blackbird on display as well as the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Don’t forget that Palm Springs air museum has a KZread channel!!! They have a lot of history videos on every plane you can think of.

And in a total coincidence, I have a P-51 flight video coming out on my channel this Sunday!!! :)

You lucky son-of-a-gun Jimmy - beautiful P51 :) Lovely to see all those other classic planes and artifacts etc, particularly the B-17..

I see the correction to the correction has been made. It was Bock’s Car flown by Major Charles Sweeney. I can see the frustration in Jimmys face during the B-17 tour. Any plane lover with an interest in WWII could conduct this tour. Jimmy is saying to himself, “yes I know, can we move this along please”. As many here, I’m an now an old Baby Boomer with a father who was a WWII veteran. My father was a B-25 pilot, (yes he became deaf) transitioning B-29s as the war ended. As with all veterans, it was the best part of his life and the worst.

What an absolutely gorgeous bird. Next to the Vought Corsair its amazing. What a privilege. God Bless our veterans of all foreign wars.

I researched..Robert ( Bob) Friend after I saw the RedTail..he flew with the Tuskegee Airman ..as well he also served in the Korean war..as well as the Vietnam war too he served for 28 years..quite a remarkable career.

I have a tale to tell. During WWII, the U.S. Army Air Force used the property of my great aunt as an airfield. When WWII ended, it abandoned a half dozen Mustangs along with several replacement engines on the property. As a kid, I played in one of those aircraft moving the control stick around and pretending I was flying. After I started learning to fly, I realized that I might want one of those Mustangs. I was very disappointed to learn that my great aunt's sister had sold all the planes and engines. What a bummer. I wonder how the course of my life might have been affected had I been able to get one of those planes.

Hi Jimmy, love your videos, keep up the great work!. One note on this one: The actual Enola Gay B-29 Superfortress that was flown by Paul Tibbits and dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima isn't in Ohio, she's at the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA, by Dulles International Airport (a 28 mile drive West from downtown Washington, DC.). In the early 1990s I watched the stages of the Enola Gay restoration taking place at the Air & Space Museum's so-called 'attic', the Paul E. Garber Facility, in Silver Hill, MD, about 3 blocks from my house. That's where the museum did all their restoration work and stored a lot of historic planes that they had finished restoring but they had no room to display them at their museum in downtown DC. Once they opened the much, much larger Udvar-Hazy Center in December of 2003, all those 'extra' restored planes could be put on display, and that's where the Enola Gay has been since the facility opened. If you've never been there, you really need to see it. Incidentally, the man the museum's 'attic' was named after, Paul E. Garber, was the first curator of the Air & Space Museum, and he was a WWI pilot flying the biplane 'Jennys'. He lived into his 90s and I chatted with him on one or two of my visits to the facility named for him and he told me how he was shot down by the Germans twice in that war.

The Chipmunk isn’t a Chipmunk buddy. It’s a Fairchild PT19. (The blue and yellow one you were in front of).

My 4 personal favorite WW2 aircraft that I think are the best looking are the B-17, P-38, P-51 and F4U. I do like the Spitfire and several other but those 4 are my favorites in terms of looks. There’s always been something very attractive about a B-17 to me.

Jimmy, it's not a Chipmonk. It's a Fairchild PT-19 training aircraft. My Dad had one and I used to fly in the back seat.

one of my favorite videos you have ever put out and by a long shot one of the most beautiful planes ever made. So cool to see that old warbird clear her throat. Thank you for this video!

My mother told me that during WW2 here in London, whenever any German pilot bailled out, a crowd would appear from nowhere ripping the parachute to bits and the pilot would just stand their bewildered at what was going on. Many wedding dresses were made using parachute silk

Palm Springs Air Museum is so awesome. Also for anyone that is interested in learning more about glider pilots in WWII, there is a great book called For Us Der Var Ist Over, by James Ferrin. It is a great book to learn about what glider pilots had to go through in their missions.

The red tail signifies the Tuskegee Airmen. Theirs were the only ones during World War 2 with red tails. They did it to make themselves easily identifiable.

This museum painted this plane after my dad Lt Col Robert Friend - He loved Bunny and enjoyed flying in her when he could

Jimmy one of your most awesome videos with all the commentary. A great learning experience for all of us. Thank you so much for this.

So very cool to see old planes in a museum, not reformed too much. I agree. Jimmy

I think Clay Lacey did a lot of flying for the movies in Hollywood

I believe Griffon and Merlin props (not counting counter rotating versions) spun in the opposite direction. The larger (30%-ish) Griffon was carefully packaged so it could be put in Spitfires, which mostly had Merlins. Griffon Spitfires are easy to spot by the cowl humps needed to fit the valve covers (since cams--and other accessories--were driven from the front to decrease crankshaft twist). The Griffon was less agressively tuned than the Merlin, so power was similar in some marks. I believe the Griffon didn't have to work as hard and, of course, offered growth potential. But, as many will attest, the Merlin's much more aggressive cams had the much sweeter note.

MAGNIFICENT P-51. WHAT A FANTASTIC SPECTACLE IN THE SKY!

You Just never get tired of old aircraft ,love this stuff

Keep doing these museums Jimmy, the tours are fascinating.

Call me crazy but i get emotional looking at these planes. The amount of airmen we lost .... the extremely thin aluminum that the bullets passed through like a hot knife through butter. The hell of war they went through. I did understand until i went in Piccadilly Lilly II and saw for myself that it had no protection except the offense of many guns and later the beautiful P51D that saved a lot of airmen. To all sevice men , thank you!❤ Bad Ass airplanes and the men who flew in them! Im glad i dont HAVE to speak German or Japanese..... Not that im against learning on my own. Thank you to my Grandfathers Dick Fuller and Arch Hutchens. Both Navy WW 2 veterans. God Bless America!

My Dad was a pilot during WW2 and flew these and most fighters. was shot down in the Pacific and was 1st rescued during new program, operation Lifeguard, wherein the subs secondary, if not 1st, operation was to gather up the downed flyers. Straight up HEROS above the water and below. 56 takeoffs and landings on Aircraft Carriers.

As a young fella in the cub scouts, I had an incredible opportunity to be part of the "Young Eagles" program. One event I attended, was at March AFB in southern california, only a short flight away from palm springs. I was lucky enough to fly in a P51 trainer. It sparked my immense interest into aviation! This is such a blast from the past, thanks Jimmy:)

This is the best guy you’ve ever interviewed. He’s a true pro but down to earth. Great guy. Clearly anyone who was lucky to learn to fly with him was lucky to learn to fly with him. Period. Great guy. Amazing plane. Engineers back in the day were better than they are now. This plane was built on paper with pencil and slide rule.

Jimmy - really enjoy your videos. This one is so great. My dad passed in late 2021. A Marine Corp Gunny and Korean War veteran (1950-1951...you can figure where his service was), dad wad a Docent at the Palm Springs Museum for many years before his passing. You can find his name on the wall of fame there. We had many great times there getting the "cook's tour" of some of th planes. I flew many hours with him in his Cessnas and a V tail Bonanza. He finished his flying career in a pressurized Baron . Thanks for the great video.n So good to see the museum again,

This was awesome, Jimmy! My Dad's oldest brother was a waist gunner on a B-17. His 17 was shot down on their final sorte and he spent over a year in a German Concentration camp. He was one of the lucky ones that made it home!

Our Unit the 167th FG West Virginia ANG actually retired the last very last USAF P-51 Mustang in January 1957. The Mustang at the AF Museum came from our Unit. My Dad worked in Line Supply from 1950 till around 1955 and told me about ordering parts for the Unit’s Mustangs. When I was a kid, it was a common sight to see them fly over our house in Charleston, WVa. all the time. My favorite aircraft ever built !

You deserve that ride jimmy for all you do for the world of g.a.. 👍. Got a p51 that lives at our local fbo, (also out west),. A private owner not connected to any museum. It's a real beauty but they try to keep it's existence on the down-low I think. One day I caught the hanger door open from a distance and I could see it in the back corner sharing space with a private jet. They saw me with my dog staring outside the fence. The door went down pretty quick, hahaha. They take it out roughly once per month and our house is right under the pattern and by the time it's overhead, it's already at 800 ft and climbing out quick - usually going around 250mph. I can hear it coming towards us in the living room watching tv. I usually jump up and run out just in time to see it fly over the house. On flight radar it displays as a kind of bat-wing thingy. Another good one Jimmy. Glad you got to do this! Cheers! 👍

There was an FBO owner in Nashua, NH, who owned a P-51D, used to give drives, and was fortunate enough to get a ride it it. That ride was over 30 years ago, and it is without a doubt one of my favorite aviation experiences. The Mustang's name was Double Trouble II. It too was a single-seat fighter was was adapted for a passenger.

Great video. So much history there.I thank you and everyone else for sharing this information.

My dad was enlisted in the Air Force in 1966. This has been my all-time favorite airplane since the 70s as a kid. The other is the F-86 Saber... they're both beautiful airplanes! I've been in them during open house at O'hare airport many many years ago! He was in the 126th Air Refueling Wing, I'm not sure what unit he was in while he was in Okinawa from 1966-96.

Id like to see Jimmy fly in a Corsair, and call people Pappy :) Remember Baa Baa Black Sheep TV series back in the day? Loved that show, lol

I used to work for an outfit in Sacramento that used to overhaul these (the engines). Occasionally we’d get a few blocks through for machining that had come out of the Air Racers. Was talking to an old WWII crew chief who worked on one of the racers, the engine was regularly run up to 120 inches of mercury! Do the math!

As that beauty lifts off I'm imagining all those 18 and 19 year old 'kids' pulling back on the stick for their very first flight back in WWII, can you imagine?!!

So cool to watch this video. I had my family at this museum just a week ago today and I’ve got a picture of one of my sons in front of that particular Mustang, and also an obligatory one of my wife making a big grimace in front of the P-40 Sharkmouth. 😂 It’s a fantastic museum. Their display has grown a lot since I’d last been there probably a dozen years ago or so. It’s always great to talk to the docents, as well. I could listen to their anecdotes all day long. ❤️

41,000 feet is probably conservative. A Spitfire flew to over 50,000 feet on 2 February 1952 on a meteorological flight over Hong Kong, setting a long-standing record for a piston powered aeroplane. Spitfire operational ceiling was 45,000 feet for later Merlin powered models,.

My uncle was in the 907th Glider Field Artillery Battalion. Not only did some gliders have troops but some had jeeps and field howitzers and crew inside. The Horsa gliders were made primarily of wood and the Wacos were tube and fabric. The F117 Nighthawks are stripped probably due to the radar absorbing paint on them. I think the coating formula is still considered Top Secret.

Now that would be my dream to own a p51d mustang😎. My favorite ww2 fighter

This is one of your best, most informative posts. Thanks!!!

It’s just amazing that an 80 year old plane can do the things this Mustang can do!..I mean the thing will fly up to 41,000 ft…that’s way up there…the P47’s would fly super high and was actually purpose built to fly high!..anyway those old war birds need to be preserved because they were just amazing!!..

I’ve been to this museum in Palm Springs, it’s attached to the air port. I also got to Fly in that C-47 Skytrain in the background at the start of the video, it was an amazing experience, definitely something I’d want to do again

Oh Man Jimmy you’re luckier than a 2D Dawg dude!!!what an experience!! My dad’s boss owned a P-51 back in the 50’s. “Pacos Bill”. He got to fly in it in his 20’s. A few years ago I was communicating with Pilot Cowden Ward who then owned and operated the plane as an Honor Flight operation. I was to meet him and see the plane at the up and coming Houston Air Show later that year but unfortunately the plane suffered an in flight failure and Mr. Ward along with a 90+ yr old veteran WW11 died and destroyed the P-51 at a Fredericksburg Tx event for the Nimitz Museum. Glad your ride was a thrilling experience!!

My great uncle was with the 88th glider infantry regiment (GIR) which eventually became part of the 82nd airborne. He was a pilot. The crew of the glider landed, dismounted and fought as infantry. I believe the glider was a Waco.

One of my favourite aircraft. So cool . Crazy what they were capable of , even crazier when it was built in the 1930’s .

Palm Springs is a great museum. I met Paul Tibbets there many years agoand had him autograph his book for me

Bill Lear and Clay Lacy are legends. Jimmy should know that.

The blue and yellow airplane is a PT-19.

The engine sound is perfect

During WWII, my Dad trained soldiers how to fly those disposable gliders.

Jimmy, you are one lucky son of a gun! I am man enough to admit it, I'm seriously jealous!!!!! That engine is the best sounding of all time. IMHO.

You and your son do great interviews. I really like that you let them talk.

The P-51 is my favorite!

Amazing aircraft. Great vid. Still get a shiver down my spine when I hear that Rolls Royce Merlin engine, look up and see the elliptical wing design.

I was a neighbor to Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk in Novato, Calif in the 90's. He was the navigator on the Enola Gay and last surviving member of the crew if I remember correctly. Also a great guy and good neighbor! I didn't know who he was when I first met him. We were discussing a visit I had just made to my hometown of Monroe, Louisiana...he mentioned he went to navigator school at Selman field, in Monroe during the war...that started our relationship. Me being a retired Vietnam veteran of the Marine Corps we had lots to talk about. We NEVER talked about the bomb or that mission. Tom Boyte, GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71 El Mirage, Arizona

What a great sound those Rolls have, reminds me of seafair in Seattle in the 80s when the thunder boats had rolls merlins in them.

Sometimes young Jimmy you outdo yourself on videos, and I have to admit, I happily listened to everything said and laughed when needed, but loved the video, as I love planes, and still, the sound of a Merlin on full chat sends shivers down my old spine, its a sound never to be forgotten. Once a year where we live right on the coast, we have a free air show for two days, and when the 4 Merlin-engined bombers flanked by a spitfire and hurricane fly so low over us, the noise IS amazing. Thanks again Jimmy, from merry old England
