It had to be modified to carry it, the guns had to be stripped out and it's ceiling, range and speed were all greatly reduced when using it, but they went after the sub pens and the hardned V2 launch site with it which were both pretty much the coast anyways.

Don't forget the ones designed to fit atomic bombs

@@_blitzterceptor_8648 They didn't really need those, they could have just had a P47 Thunderbolt carry either one of them to their target 🤣🤣🤣 There's a guy in a video talking about how they'd take off from hastily built air strip's in France with P47's that were overloaded by 1,000 lbs from runways that were 500 ft shorter than what was called for if they weren't overloaded, that'd be scary. But then again I knew an old guy back in the day that flew B29's off of Guam, he said the scariest party of every mission was taking off, that runway was shorter than what it should have been and as a result they were in War Emergency Power on all 4 engine's, it's as heavy as it's gonna be for the entire mission and fully loaded with fuel, at a certain point down the runway there was a flag on each side, that's the point of no aborting the take off because you'll never get it stopped before you get to the end of the runway, which was something like a 40 foot drop straight down to the ocean, if you lost an engine or one dropped power after that point you weren't going to make it, so when they got off the ground and breath a sigh of relief but you didn't dare cheer out loud, because right at the point you'd be doing that there were 4 or 5 planes that didn't make it directly below you at the bottom of the reef and the crews not only were friends of your's but they were still inside the plane's, because Navy divers at that point didn't have time to get their bodies out. How screwed up would that be? Every mission starts out with you and your crew flying over your dead friends.

@@dukecraig2402 I'm confused to what this has to do with the Lancaster prototypes? Anyway nice piece of info u got there.

Interesting, I'd always heard it that way, now I know.

Also HE-111 was never a dive bomber

There’s also the hard to prove claim of Bob Fausel, a Curtiss test pilot with the kill of a Japanese operated Fiat BR20 bomber near Chunking China by a Curtiss CW-21 fighter around March/April 1939.

Good catch.

Not really. It honestly looks like a mix of an A-26 and A-20 lmao

More like an A-26/20

And the FW190 is not an FW190, but the developped high altitude fighter TA152H, derived from FW190D.

@@Vickzq again, true.

Maneuver Kills are still considered credited kills in the Air Force.

its still a kill cope

Still counts as a kill though

I particularly enjoyed the one you included for the Yak-9! :-) well done.

Was thinking the same thing, if the combat glider made the list then the plane that pulled it there should have as well 👍

Only combat aircraft

Don't forget about soviet licenced copy of DC-3 - PS-84/Li-2. +5000 units produced in USSR.

AC-47 as well, derived from C-47

If you mean soviet version of C-47, then it was Li-2

I appreciate that 😁

You are so welcome! Any topic suggestion ? 😁

Thanks for watching! 😁😁

evidence? or an excuse?

That's probably what happened, but nobody actually knows. No one saw it, the jet pilot died, and the prop pilot - if he survived - was not available for comment.

Even if it didn't hit the jet, most aces and planes get the kill if they simply dodge ab incoming aircraft which crashes into the ground

@@otaviom6480 Yes, but the Po-2 didn't shoot it down.

@@oat138 If it landed a single hit on the jet before it crashed it can be credited as a kill Pretty sure that's like 10% of the IL-2's 700 air kills

Yep! Very glorious... The one million Dollar question: Why are planes build in great numbers? Cause they suffered so many casualities... Very glorious indeed!

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Not necessarily, although they were in the hottest spot, just over the frontline. Also, the soviet industry has accelerated to such a pace that IL-2 was overproduced (as was T-34 latewar). There were many advocates of modernizing these, like T-44 project -- but the leadership didn't risk losing a military momentum for somewhat better tanks or planes. Another stalemate like Kursk or Stalingrad would be enormously expensive on human life and resources USSR never really had, suffering from shortage of literally everything through all of its existence (manpower first and foremost).

Thanks! 😁😁😁

Modern equipment costs SO MUCH more than the older stuff. Imagine having 10000 Lightning II built in five years, like the original Lightning. Note: cost per plane was $115 million in 2020 for the British. That'd be $1,150,000,000,000... one trillion one hundred fifty billion dollars in five years? That'd be about 1% of the five year US GDP just for the aircraft. Maintenance and spare parts costs would be ridiculous, and the cost to train the pilots...

Thank you! Cheers! 😁

Still counts as a kill. Chuck Yeager had 2 kills because one 109 he was chasing crashed into another.

Notice pooh in the pilot seat?

MDU: Give credit to the opposing air forces for providing targets. Ahem. At one point the Soviets were sending "pilots" into the air with as little as 10 hours flight time and awarding their wings planeside.

How is that courageous

@@callancaustic9355 Because Mainland China is leaning heavily on big businesses, big tech included, that let their employees, users, or subscribers criticize Mainland China, or in any way supports the statement or idea that Taiwan is an independent state, including showing the Taiwanese flag.

@@DanielMartinez-lz3ot Okay sure. At worst case, they'd have to remove ads on this video. I highly doubt a non-chinese channel would be banned off of a non-chinese website for breaking a Chinese law which doesn't exist anywhere else

@@beaverchicken Dude, universal just knuckled under to China and made john cena (the pussy) apologize for saying Taiwan is a country, let me repeat, "FOR CALLING TAIWAN A COUNTRY."

Maneuver kill

It is an A20, compare it to photos of an A20 it looks exactly the same

It seems the fuselage is a little too large, effectively the A26 was intended to replace the A20 with a modernized design
