For those interested in the true contribution of the British to the war in the Pacific (whilst having defeated the Japanese on the ground in Burma) here are the facts: The first action in the war between Japan and the Western Allies did was not against the Americans at Pearl Harbor, but against the British in Malaya; and the last official action of the war against Japan was not at Nagasaki, but on 15th August 1945 when Fleet Air Arm pilots shot down eight Mitsubishi Zeros for the loss of a single British aircraft. Its captured 19 year-old pilot became one of the last direct casualties of the war when he was murdered after the emperor announced Japan's surrender later that day. The British Pacific Fleet was the largest ever assembled by the Royal Navy, and its contribution to the fight against the Japanese was significant. It comprised over 200 ships, including six first-class aircraft carriers, and over 750 aircraft. Among other actions, the British took part in the battles of both Iwo Jima and Okinawa. On 1st April 1945 HMS Indefatigable, part of the now-forgotten British Pacific Fleet, received a direct hit from a kamikaze attack. With their metal decks, British carriers withstood these attacks far better than American wooden-decked ships; the Indefatigable was back in action an hour later. The exploits of the “forgotten” 14th Army in Burma are now better known; but the BPF’s contribution to the war against Japan remains unacknowledged. Its personnel comprised British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Canadian and other Commonwealth citizens (and one Greek - the late Duke of Edinburgh). And when the US Navy was short of aircraft carriers in 1942/3, the British lent them one of theirs: HMS Victorious. Rumour has it that before it was acceptable to the Americans, she had to be fitted with Coca-Cola and ice-cream machines!

What a talent. Too often brave men like this go into harms way once too often, few pilots survive being wounded once. Many of the truly brave dont survive the war, nice to see he saw the victory.

Cunning move, hopping from a Hurricane to a Spitfire before landing. Genius.

The best I have seen was in a supposedly serious documentary on the Wild West. There was a long shot of Sitting Bull's train taking him back to his reservation with a British Rail post war standard class locomotive pulling very cramped English carriages. After shots inside of him in a voluminous clerestory coach. Even a rudimentary knowledge of locomotives as with any machines is always painful. The supposedly 30's shots of an A4 Pacific in the Poirot opening credits with no side valances and all the valve gear indecently flashing in full view. A post war rebuilt Bulleid Pacific supposedly rolling up in Kings Cross in World War 2. It just never ends. Remember in England a true gentleman is frowned on for acquiring any knowledge about anything so it is no surprise.

Still a story of a brave good man, who actually came to a good end to his story. So many like him meet tragedy.

Refueling his plane and enjoying a cigarette. That could easily have been the death machine.

Agree. Although there was never an ME 109. When the 109 was provided its designation by the RLM (Reich Aviation Ministry) as a BF 109 in 1935, it was because the company that designed it was the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works). This didn’t change its name to Messerschmitt until 1938.

It was ALWAYS a flying death machine! Its a fighter plane!

That's one hell of a air man

How about putting out the story of Douglas Badder? He had lost his legs but entered the ww2. He was an ace a few times over. He could pull geez like no one else because of no legs. Shot down twice.

At 13:04 (& earlier) it’s not pronounced as 135th squadron, in British & Commonwealth airforce dictum it pronounced 1-3-5 squadron. The other is an American descriptor.

Top ho wha!what!. I appreciate my British neighbors across the pond. Yours truly Yankee Doodle.

There is no shortage of film showing R.A.F. Hurricanes, so why all the bombers, Spitfires, Mustangs, Tomahawks etc? The guy was a Hurricane pilot.

10:30 - No doubt, a very skilled and heroic pilot who earned all of his medals, but shooting down the Hindenburg? That’s just taking things way too far. 😏

What's with the 'Thumbnail' it has nothing to do with content....as usual!...that picture was shot on the South Coast of UK at a airshow, perhaps B of B commemoration,The object ringed is perhaps an item of clothing. As the Hurricane passed over the crowd the pilot 'wraggled' the wings......

What a ridiculous title! This pilot was not "mad", and if his plane was a "flying death machine", well, yes, it was, not because he made it so, he worked and studied incredibly hard to become a fighter pilot flying fighter aircraft. It's an aircraft designed to shoot guns at enemy targets! That's a driven man, and a true professional. He fought the Luftwaffe in 1940, and then later, they sent him off to fight the Japanese. I am so glad he survived his war, and had a fulfilled life. The dead-pan commentary in this video is trite and silly, and the images are mostly a pastiche of old movie and camera gun clips, cobbled together. It doesn't really do justice to this little big man. What would he make of today's world, the freedom and values he fought to preserve?

Oh my god the Japanese did not destroy the Royal Navy they did sink 2 battleships of Malaysia after 6 hours but not the whole Royal Navy. Nice shots of V1 flying bombs being destroyed apparently during the Battle of Britain 4 years to early but still an interesting story
