And had to make do with a lot of old equipment. My favourite thing about them militarily at the time is that they shared a similar naval theory to my home (Sweden). Where we made use of oversized gunboats in lieu of cruisers and battleships. This was to allow them to work in the island strewn coastal waters where physical cover was a factor unlike the open seas (and because they were cheaper than full battleships).

And not only pilots had this sense of honour. During WW2 the Japanese Imperial Navy attacked Sydney port using small submarines which got into the harbour and were about to hit the cruiser USS Chicago. The Royal Australian Navy could react and two of the submarines sank in the harbour. They recovered the remains of the Japanese sailors and gave them a funeral with full military honours. Well, that was in 1942. In 2006 a third Japanese midget submarine was found laying on the sea bottom not too far off Sydney port. To this day it has not been possible to extract the crew remains, but the Royal Australian Navy organized a ceremony with some relatives of the crewmen, a Japanese admiral and Australian survivors from the attack. The Australian government has declared the place a war grave, protected by law. There is still honour brighting in many people, in spite of the clouds of hate so many discord sowers make.

Heard they shot the priests and other men first, throwing the bodies overboard, before turning to kill the nuns. The nuns had brought a couple of infants and a young girl they were looking after. Story is that the children were torn away from the nuns and thrown overboard alive, before the nuns were murdered and their bodies disposed of by simply throwing them overboard. I think the Western Allies generally modeled the behavior they expected for their own fallen. I've heard of kamikaze pilots being buried at sea with full military honors after their bodies were recovered from the wreckage of their planes.

Your pronunciation of Thai names are superb, I never knew many foreigners that could pronounce Thai names correctly, I wouldn’t blame them though, our names are quite hard to pronounce (just try to pronounce mine Hahaha).

So nice to hear about another participant in the war. Thailand didn't do too bad in the war, despite being allied with the Axis. The goal of Thailand was to return its territory lost to the French. The Japanese were more than happy to assist due to its influence with the Vichy French. There was a sizeable guerilla opposition to the Imperial Japanese allied Thai government. When they took charge in 1944, they tried to negoiate with the British who were unwilling to deal with them at the same time reassuring Imperial Japan in order to prevent a major invasion. After the war, the Thai were willing to cede back the territory they acqured with the help of the Japanese and became a staunch US ally. There losses in the war were minimal comparitively. The overwhelming loss of life was mainly to disease. When the Americans and British ran into the Thai Air Force, they always thought they were fighting the Japanese due to their skill and tenacity.

I'm convinced you've just flown into Thailand, the animation is great!

This event happened on my hometown lampang. As a Thai person, I respect the bravery of the pilots on both sides and am grateful to the team who searched this matter until they finally found the wreckage of the P-51C.

The graphics and attention to detail, the musical score, the homage to Star Wars, all wrapped with yet another example of masterful storytelling. Bravo! With this one even longer than the last, I sense a full-length movie on the horizon. Keep up the outstanding work!

The subtle Star Wars references in the audio are a nice touch.

I'm Thai and I really like Koon's animation. Even though the Thai soldiers lost to the American soldiers, their bravery still lives on in this Thai soil.

The storytelling, graphics, and documentation in this video are truly remarkable. I'd like to commend the creator for their outstanding work. The emotional ending added an extra layer of depth to the overall experience, making it even more impactful.

Greetings from Thailand and never did I think this was in my country's history thank you very much yarnhub. Also this is kinda strange for me to acknowledge this since the USMC first started training there for WW2 and I enlisted in the Corp.

Brave men, these Thai pilots were. Their aircraft were outdated when they received them, and they knew it, but that didn’t prevent them from taking on pilots with better aircraft and better training.

I love the fact that you included the Tie Fighter sound from Star Wars. I had no idea the United States fought against the Thai government during World War 2, much respect to all veterans, this is an excellent video.

Best one yet. I love the way it shows the crew looking for downed aircraft and missing pilots. I'd love to see a show dedicated to some of the aircraft/crew that have been found recently. Plus the little Easter eggs to SW were awesome as well.

I hope you could also feature the story of Capt Villamor of the Philippine Airforce when they faced japanese zeroes in ww2 ❤

I’m only 5 minutes into it and already it’s better than anything Hollywood could’ve made with many times the budget! It felt like I was there the whole time, and the camera angles and story work were excellent! The music and CG were also perfect This is my favorite video from you guys so far, please make more like this! It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come, it is also a very cool story to tell, the Thai Air Force needs more attention for what they did Now I will continue watching the rest! Also I heard the TIE fighter sounds!

Thank You so much @Yarnhub even Most of Thai people all forgot about this story but you made it. Hopefully you will the The battle of Franco-Thai war There is also Thai fighter fought with Vichy France air craft.

You guys are the best hisotrians out there. Your stories really feel deep. People like you make the past not to be forgotten, I have followed you for a long time and thank you the effort in educating us

It is sad that the Thai people fought against the Americans who were really there fighting the Japanese. My Father was a Flying Tiger. We visited Thailand in 1985 for a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the end of the war. A beautiful country.

I'm so happy that you did something about my country history

I am from Thailand and I would like to thank you for telling the story of the Thai people in the war to foreigners. We used to fight in air battles and defeat French pilots in the colonial empire, but in the end we lost and lost. The land that we once occupied was given to France. ขอบคุณ

The tie fighter transition noise is such an amazing touch on this video. Great job again these videos are always a blast to watch!

Unlike every other branch of the military, the Air Force has a unique mission in that the battle is usually machine v machine. Not pilot v pilot. It seems like there has always been a respect between pilots regardless of what side they are on. Just one example is the red Barron. He was respected more than hated and given a proper military funeral by his enemies when he was shot down

For a second there at the start, thought it was real. It's amazing how well you have improved. I'm so proud of you as a subscriber since 2019, and I'm so happy about all the progress you have made. The movements look so human in the planes, looking around. It's amazing, you need an award. Thank you, Yarnhub, for showing us amazing war stories in such an entertaining way. I'm so excited for the next video!

Contrats to Daniel Jackson and his team. Splendid movie. Actually Minco, of French origins, was a cousin of my grandfather. We are all here very grateful for this moving quest that would have bring joy to Henry’s mother. A bottle of champagne was in her fridge during her all life in case of the return of her second son Henry MIA. We except that the January 2024 excavation will be successful 🙏🏻

Once in September 2020, I got a chance to read your letter in front of the audiences on POW/MIA Remembrance Day held at DPAA Det 1 in Bangkok. It was a touching moment especially when I read the paragraph that begins with " Family stories tell that in 1945 on the very same beautiful sunny day in Cleveland ..."

You guys noticeably raise the bar every episode. Really amazing content!

Love the faint "This is Gold Leader" call

so much progress from the 2D animations to this just WOW (im so lucky to see the evolution of the quality)

Cool new video format, I LOVED the references! I particularly adored when Henry's dialogue spoke out "I have you now", loved the Star Wars allusions. Every single one of your videos is better than the previous one, keep it up! :)

Thank you so much Yarnhub for this story. These are the kinds of stories that need to be featured more on this channel. Stories that almost no one knows. And the most important part of stories like these is the absolute lack of villification of the enemy. Just a neautral view of soldiers fighting in the war. Videos like these approach the true meaning of the word objective and that is a huge compliment to you.

Thank you Yarnhub, once again you exceeded my expectations with the point of view of the Thai pilots. Btw i loved your Star Wars references especially with the engine sound effect of the TIE Fighter and 2nd Lieutenant Minco saying "I have you now."

There's also the story of RTAF Ki-43 who shot down a B-29 Superfortress too.

Despite being outclassed in technology, they've put up a good fight. Respect to both sides respectively. 🇹🇭🇺🇸❤ Thank you Yarnhub for making this video, I never expected such an underrated story.

Thank you again Yarnhub for another forgotten battle in a forgotten theater of war always nice to hear about bravery and sacrific from lesser know countries cheers from sweden O7

Amazing vid. Loved the part from 2019, also the way you told the story of every Thai fighter was just briliant

This is the best channel i have seen with your visuals and story telling. Amazing job

This was great, thanks. Your excellent work just keeps getting better and better...

Thank you for this excellent well told story!! Even without the fantastic video, I can enjoy listening to the narration and picture the story unfolding! This is the first time I have watched your channel. I look forward to seeing new videos. And I will search for previous videos. Thanks again! You made my day! Cheers to you and the heroic men on both sides of history.

Brilliantly told and amazing story!!! Your animation has improved greatly much to my delight 😊

That pilot, "Kamlop Plengkam" is my friend's grandfather. Yes, my friend's grandad is the one who got it.

As a fan from Thailand Thank you for making this video, They fighting for country and protect people with their live. I'm proud of them.❤

Tie fighter is a good way to describe the ki-27. It may be light and low tech, but it probably has the same turn radius as an actual sparrow.

The issue is that WWII proved that speed > agility in aerial combat for the most part (unless you’re going so fast you can’t aim, like with the Me-163, or your plane has both speed AND agility, as with things like the Corsair or a few of the later Japanese fighters) …..or unless you’re the five Thai pilots in this video and have the skill and terrain knowledge to actually make some use of your agility.

The best animated war history channel I've ever seen so far. You've really master the art of animation and story telling. Keep up the good work 👍

You do an truelly incredible job bringing this all together, thanks for your hard working bringing these historical stories back to life, we appreciate it very much.

Aaand cue “TIE Fighter Attack” music! Never even heard of this dogfight! Thnx again for this gem, Yarnhub!

Incredible video. Not only is the production quality impeccable, but the story and presentation of it are amazing. Fantastic job

Amazing that I can still hear stories from WW2 that are new to me. And thanks for telling these little-known but very important stories. Extremely detailed, and expertly told. How can one NOT sub to a channel such as this?🤷‍♂️

The forgotten member of the allience: The Kingdom of Siam. (Tahi) I am so happy you made this video about them, their bravery and courage can't be forgotten.

Have you ever thought of covering any Medal of Honor recepients? You've done these stories so much justice I"m more than confident you'd do the same honor to those who serverd and fell in the line of duty recounting their lives and telling their stories. Kudos to everything thus far Yarnhub, keep up the amazing work, truly.

Incredible story. Thank Ya’ll

Thanks you very much for making animation from this story :D

i love how you include the star wars TIE fighter sound in the video!

I love the respect that each pilot have for one another ❤

Thank you so much for featuring this story. The history of Thailand during this period is largely forgotten. In school we mainly studied about Thai history during the 1200s to 1800s. I am glad more people are able to learn about our history during ww2. If you visited the RTAF museum in Bangkok near the Donmurng airports you can find the parts of the P51 mustang including the engine and a propeller. The museum is free so if anyone is interested. Please come and visit 😊

Your animations have come so far my friend! This looks amazing!

20 minutes animated. holy... i don't even want to imagine how much work went into this

I’ve never seen any animated story of Thai forces. You absolutely made my day as a thai lol and thank you yarnhub🙏🏻

As a Thai, i never knew about this story. Thank you for bringing this story to light, and thank you for taking time to pronouce the names correctly, its not perfect, but I can sense the effort you guys put into making this video!

Incredible video. Great story, great animation! I can't wait for the next one.

Haven’t watch your videos since my army phase but now I’ve realized how much you’ve improved and how much bitterroot it is as an aviation fan!

Why is this animation so high quality dang. Good job!

The animation in this video...is absolutely incredible..

Few words I can say after such a great effort like this piece of art now that it has come to the screens all over the world. There´s so much love on it, so much dedication, so much... respect! That I have remained speechless contemplating it. This short video caught me and kept me strapped into my couch from the beginning down to the end and overwhelmed not only by the great animation that could easily compete with the greatest animators of cinema mainstream, but also by how the story is told and developed to the viewer. I say it again, I believe it is a little jewel of a masterpiece that deserves to be remembered and honored the same way it honors those brave men (Thai and Americans) who were forced to battle each other in a conflict that surpassed their will and perspective. Thanks, very much!!

the quality of these videos and attention to deal is so great that these look like they would be on the history channel. Keep up the good work!!!

As a Thai I really found this video amazing!

Wow wow...the narration, the story, the animation,... No words just pure emotion....love from Asia

You do so well in telling the story and the animation is superlative. But, the story behind how the battle was fought, how the pilots were identified and how after all this time this came to culminate is sure as equally interesting. Thank you
