There's this feeling of slight goosebumps when i realized that Colonel Kearby also appeared in a separate Yarnhub video 3 years ago about his wingman, Bill Dunham, who gave his life jacket to a stricken Japanese airmen. There's also something poetic with how Bong lost his wingman, while Dunham lost his leader. Both men lost someone close to them, yet they continued fighting and ended up earning a spot in History for different deeds.

There were several

When Bong was sent home to do a bond tour, the pilot who was with him who also been sent home was Robert Johnson, who was the first 8th Air Force pilot to exceed 26 kills. Bong didn't survive the war. After being sent home for good, the AAF had him test flying the new P-80 Shooting Star Jet aircraft. On August 6, 1945, the day the A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Bong was killed test flying a P-80.

Chuck Yeager wrote about that in his book. Bong, for all his ferocity and prowess as a fighter pilot, was not the best technician, and didn't take as much time as he might have to understand the various systems in the planes he flew the way that Yeager did. Dick Bong's loss was tragic.

Mannnnn, I've been watching you guys for a while now, it's crazy how you guys went from such simple animations to such quality, especially with the faces. I also love the talking from the characters in between the narration, the editing and the music. Wish the best for you all and a bright future ahead.

Your videos just can’t stop getting better! Keep up the good work!

When Col. Kearby was mentioned i got goosebumps because i remembered his plane gets shot-down (When a P-47 Pilot Aided a Japanese Aviator) and even knowing how that story would end i still got sad seeing it happen again. Seeing these different stories intersect is truly an amazing thing, love the work you guys do honoring the memory of the fallen. Keep up the good work!

My late father's favorite plane.

Richard "Dick" Ira Bong was a United States Army Air Forces major and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. He was one of the most decorated American fighter pilots and the country's top flying ace in the war, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, all with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter. He died in California while testing a Lockheed P-80 jet fighter shortly before the war ended. Bong was posthumously inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1986 and has several commemorative monuments named in his honor around the world, including an airport, two bridges, a theater, a veterans historical center, a recreation area, a neighborhood terrace, and several avenues and streets, including the street leading to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio

Wow this is amazing! The characters are getting so lifelike, soon I won’t be able to tell they are computer generated! Just a suggestion, 7:34 I think is the best “explosion” for a plane, being an aviation enthusiast, I much preferred that smoke trail to the fire Great job anyway!

YESSS! The Race of Aces gets an adaptation!! Thnx Yarnhub & great job including the Star Wars dialogue!

You guys truly outdo yourselves with every video! Fantastic work as always!

I’ve been a fan for 3 years now and always have loved and clicked on your content

Another great video Yarnhub!

Yarnhub, once again you outdid yourself with everything from voice acting to action to explanation and most importantly animation. I really love how you've kept better and better with quality and i really loved those clever Star Wars references from A New Hope to Rogue One in the voicelines, once again you made proud and excelled🎉❤.

LOVE THE LOCAL VOICE! It adds realism to the video depicting different nations! I swear you all are getting better by the years!!

The japanese dub are really cool! Adding submersion to the story!

Been looking forward to this for 2 weeks now! Thanks again to the Yarnhub team for working so hard!

That is one of the best digital models of the p-38 I have seen yet! Good job team!

Love the P-38. Great video Yarnhub! Your videos are always very entertaining and informative!

It’s crazy. from watching you for the first time then watching each video improving every time. Showing how much effort you put on this videos❤

This man is like the Spielberg of military history.

I’ve been waiting for another yarnhub video for so long and as usual I’m not disappointed

The Rouge One reference, “Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Lieutenant”. Bloody brilliant .

The segway into the ad is outstanding...please folks...take this to heart. If needed...for you or a loved one / friend...just make the call....

These stories just keep getting better and better, great work on this one! Also love the little st at wars references you put into this one, the force is truly with you…

The detailed illustrations w/ narration is how elite Aces operate on KZread. Little foot note about his death testing em prototype jets or w/e during the final days of the war might’ve added some 🤦🏾🤬🫣to the story, but as always it was A1

I just saw his p-38 in real life in oshkosh today in the museum. Never expected that coincidence!

every video, I always think the animation and story-telling cant be topped, but this just blows everything out of the water. great work, I cant wait for the next!

Your timing for sponsors is outstanding man

The way the planes fly, turn, speed up and crash has improved so much. In the earlier videos it looked like world of warplanes, but now it looks very realistic

Damn these animations are getting unbelievable good - the facial expressions and voice acting really makes the animation much more live-like. Impeccable job to everyone involve in making this!

You keep getting better and better, every video is pure eye candy.

2:34 holy crap, the animation of Bong’s mouth is insane

This was, IMHO, one of the best yet. My hats off to those tough and Brave pilots. RIP to all of them.

it is crazy how realistic the animation has become over the years

Yarnhub is in mood for some star wars references today I see "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations" "Great Kid, Don't get cocky" "They're all clear kid, now lets blow this thing and go home!" "It's a trap" "Did he land? Is he alright" (Maybe wrong, but can be "Is she safe? Is she alright?")

I was at Pearl Harbor little over a week ago, I picked up a deck of cards that has WW2 plane silhouettes on them. the P-38 is shown on the back, I told my son that the P-38 was like the warthog before the warthog existed. Great video.

Not really. I'd say that title would go to the P-47 Thunderbolt. The P-38 couldn't take the amount of damage that a Jug could.

Fun fact: the term "the full nine yards." refers to the total length of .50 caliber bullet belts carried by the P-38.

The quality has come a long way and i think that it looks great! Keep up the good work👍🏻

Keep up the Star Wars references, guys! Got me chuckling pretty good! And kudos for your partnership with Better Help - we need more KZreadrs who are willing to tell people that it's ok to not be ok, and that there is help available for those who are suffering ❤

DAYUM YARN HITTING US WITH THE VADER to ORSEN KRENNIC QUOTE AT THE START @0:38

The amount of Star Wars references packed into this video is absolutely amazing

For anyone in the Midwest, II highly suggest visiting the Richard Bong Museum in Superior, WI. (Right across the harbor from Duluth) His actual entire plane is on full display and they even let you look inside cockpit. They also have incredible war artifacts belonging to top SS officers and even some of Hermann Göring's personal items. The museum is rarely crowded. I've been 3 times and found more and more incredible items on display every time

I think the team at yarnhub has been watching a lot of Star Wars recently

I love the star wars quotes Darth Vader: where commander says 'be careful not to choke on your aspirations lieutenant' Admiral Akbar: 'it's a trap!'

I showed my history teacher your account and now every Friday we watch a video of yours

Thanks for making uncountable great stories, you are just great man, i can‘t even tell how you managed to evolve from a funny 2d paper channel to an absolute unit of stories, i just think you should add the funny character again.

Your videos keep getting better and better! Congrats on that! Greetings from Peru!

This is better than any film. Any history lesson. You guys are absolutely brilliant at what you do.

Man it’s crazy how high quality y’all’s videos have gotten

this feels like a Topgun prequel bros

Love your videos! You should do one about the soviet aces in WW2 who had the highest scores of all the allied pilots

Good job Yarnhub. Saw your video today, I had to pause and take time to watch it. Brilliant as usual. Keep it up.

15:19 Balikpapan City is a city in the province of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Balikpapan is the second largest city in East Kalimantan, after Samarinda City, with a total population of 733,396 people in mid-2023, the way you say "BALIKPAPAN" was so clear and nice. thanks from Indonesia🇮🇩

These videos just keep on getting better!

“Ive got a bad feeling about this” … meaning how many more Star wars lines…. Well done…

I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.

I love the Star Wars lines you guys sneak in to the videos. May the Force be with you, always.

The animations just get better and better❤

Holy shit your character accuracy is leagues above what I remember it being. Dial in the vocal audio synchronization a bit and you've got that perfected.

I went to the Bong museum in Superior Wisconsin when I was a kid and saw his P-38 plane there.

What’s sad about this story is he was sent to test some p-80 shooting stars where he was tragically killed in an accident. He was only 24 at the time

The content you make is remarkable and looks amazing

These are getting better every video, truly mind boggling to see where you were back then and now!

The Quality is just brilliant, brilliant work guys !!

My high school history teacher’s dad was among those P-38 pilots. His name was Hanson. Flew out of Tahiti at some point. He was there in tail-end-Charlie when one of the contenders met his end in the new P-38L because he was buzzing the field trying to make the Japanese take off, until Hanson spotted fighters above them (it was a trap) and called it out. The ace was at treetop level (25 kills) and snapped himself into a turn, but still had his drop tanks on, and being the new L Model it had hydraulic boosted controls, so it snapped onto its wing in an instant and winged into the ground at 350+ mph. He brought in his family album and let me view it, lots of pictures of his dad, the ace, their planes… and very topless local Tahiti girls in their traditional topless tribal attire looking very annoyed to be having random servicemen taking their picture out of the blue as they were trying to farm, fish, or live their lives while the husband was out to sea for the day :P

The faces look so good now! Can you do a video on how you increased the quality of your videos as a 1 million special?

Excellent work, including the very realistic Japanese voices.
