My dad was a B-29 Mechanic who went over on a ship full of them first going to Saipan and then Tinian. At the dock in Saipan he was on watch and saw a Japanese suicide pilot heading for the ship. He yelled and a gunner jumped up into his seat and stopped him. My dad worked on 11 of them there. Many didn't return. He went to reunions and had seen one group he was grateful were saved. The last time he went to a reunion he cried and hugged the one man from another B-29 he worked on who came and found him, they had crashed and lived and were in a Japanese prison camp until the war ended.

For F@ck sake … stop calling them “injuries/injured”. An injury is when you trip on a rock and sprain your ankle. Theses are “wounds/wounded”. Didn’t any of you gumbies watch Band of Brothers?

Have followed the airwar in detail for well over 35 years via meeting vets, etc, , correspondence and ploughing through national archives of many nations and learning about participants on all sides. What a tragedy the war was. The very best of all men on all sides regardless, got themselves killed , so did the brave forced by circumstance mediocre of the masses. Surely survival rates for coward DNA and not the best of mankind was high. KIND-A explains the face of the world presented today. Evolution is an interestiñg study in the success and the collapse of all life forms. A natural untested coward myself, my esteem for all aircrew, even the tested cowards among them, is immence. They were all MEN and do what all men do when tested .

3:40 - *NOBODY* was good at bombing early in the war. O'Brien's "How the War Was Won" points out that the vaunted "Blitz" caused truly minimal damage to England, and the same was true of early Allied missions. It took massed aircraft, and disciplined fliers to begin to make a difference. But it finally did, and how! 8:51 - True monocoque construction wasn't used in the B17's wings; the spars were "Warren Truss", like a bridge. So losing a wing required much more than holing the skin. 12:22 - You don't date the efforts, but by early '43, the Luftwaffe was beginning to suffer the introduction of the P51D; soon thereafter, there were fewer and fewer Luftwaffe pilots and fewer yet skilled, since the allied bombing was denying the Nazis fuel for training.

First off Great detailed history, great graphics for sure great job on this video, TJ3H!! The B-17's performance, payload, durability, defensive firepower, ceiling, speed and elegant beauty earned the bomber it's reputation. But the sacrifice of the crews is forgotten. In 1943, those that flew missions in the 8th Air Force got shot down. All of them except the Belle. With losses at 20% every mission, odds were 5 to 1 you'd be dead by your 5th mission. And you had to win 5 times to make 25 missions. Nobody did. Until the 'Belle did. Then the Mustang showed up with cover all the way in '44 and it was a game changer. Plus the B-17G models were out with that cool little chin turret packing a brace of .50 cals. I got to talk to a '43 Vet once. 'Course he got shot down. His son had told me he bailed out and parachuted directly into a German POW camp! Imagine the luck! When I met the man and thanked him for his service, I remarked on the bad luck to land right in a POW camp. He got a sad look on his face and told me it was actually incredibly GOOD luck, as he was the only survivor of his crew, the rest hunted down and murdered as "Terrorfliegers" by the civilians. Wow...

I visited a a tribute B-17 Flying Fortress that flew to James Island s.c. In 1992 . It was a Memphis bell replica and also a p-38 mustang and a B-24 liberator , spent 6 hours exploring, still have the pictures. They also had the film Memphis bell in one of the flight hangers. Was a good day. God bless the veterans ❤🎉🇺🇸🏁

17:40 I’ve tried bombing planes in video games, so unlikely to work. Tho I’ve got some more unconventional and stupid air to air weapon ideas: - flamethrowers (facing down or up) - a drop tank with 5 high caliber barrels w/ one shot per barrel like a 30mm HEI shell (drop when all shells spent) - metal arrows like in ww1 but instead of carpet drops on troops it’s on enemy bombers - flak bomb, bomb when close to an object it’ll explode midair
