This little maneuver is gonna cost us seven years.

Didnt think I'd find phly here

hello phly

You ? here ? :D

+Danger Ranger Dan Not all P-51's whistle.

seaniam81 I am aware :)

+seaniam81 No they dont, but they are all capeable to. They all got an compressor. it depends on the trottle.

+Christian Svenningsen So it's the supercharger? All this time I thought it was the radiator scoop setting. Sounds great!

+Danger Ranger Dan Just imagine the infantry down below...

I believe it’s actually the supercharger.

Hello...

JesusChristNeverLived is it me you're looking for?....

+Jirapat Thaenphromrat I can see it in your eyes!!!

JesusChristNeverLived I can see it in your smile :)

...And their grandsons and daughters built degeneration and multiculturalism

DrChicago 9

Absolutely!

This plane its never going to get old.

Not modern but badass looking

Techmaniac43 This plane it's never going to get old. ------ Just a matter of time before it has a rebirth! Somebody with a lot of money is going to make a production run of like 200 of these all built to original specifications. If it could be done in the middle of WWII, why not now?? With all the technology up and running today, it's unbelievable that nobody could replicate the whole thing from nose to tail. Heck even the Europeans are building 70% scale replicas and they're selling very well. But they rely on a speaker system to produce the sound! What a joke. There is a real market for the real enthusiast's sense of authenticity. Look at a 1943 copper penny -- they sell for $200,000 now because there are only like 4 left, known to exist. They say there were about 20 from the start.

Void304 if i was the leader of a band, i'd make a song based around the pitch of the whistling sound XD

Led Headed Yeah, that.....or maybe the unearthly shriek of the F4U. It's pretty chilling....and easy to see why it earned the plane the nickname "Whistling Death".

True

Hollywoodsaint57 Only if the gun ports are not faired over.

That was the corsair....

Adrian Larkins Wow, your South African pilot can look through helmets! Really awesome!

I get your sarcasm. It is possible some hair was showing somewhere. I am simply repeating what he said. Unfortunately he has passed away.

Adrian Larkins ;-)

Adrian Larkins cool , my grandfather was a mercenary fighter squadron commander in WW2 & in the navy in korea

It's unlikely that he saw red hairs as Mig-15 pilots would've been wearing a flight cap and mask. @flip inheck Despite the largest part of Russia being in Asia Russia is a European country. To begin with, most of the actual Russian as well as most heavily populated segment is strictly in Europe, furthermore that's where it began. The Asian part is very sparsely populated other than resource gathering operations and Uralic tribes. The main and major exception to this is Vladivostok and the East-Asian area in general which has a higher population density than most of the rest of the Asian part of Russia. @F6fhellcatace groomes You watch too much anime. There were no mercenary pilots in WW2 or Korea. In fact, there generally are no mercenary pilots at all. Not if one ignores helicopter pilots,at least. No, the Flying Tigers weren't mercenaries - they were official US military personnel operating with presidential approval. @xc5647321 xc5647321 First off, you need a better name. Second, given how many Soviet and US "advisers" got axed in the various proxy wars between NATO and the USSR I highly doubt that was the reason.

Kev Greenhalgh why?

flyer boy The noise is glorious.

***** Me too.,……and I was going to say it is a guy thing,..but apparently not.. Glad to see a woman can be moved by such a machine. Can I ask you what it is about the aircraft that makes you feel like this?

+Wilfred Jurgens Don't feel dumb bro….. It brings tears to my eyes too. I think it's the history behind this great aeroplane that makes me emotional. If it wasn't for this plane entering the war when it did, and the highly trained pilots that flew them,…..WW2 may have turned out differently.

Noah Ross Germans thought we'll war is over for us

And the Lancaster..

And the F4U Corsair. Love War Birds is the easiest thing to say. 🙂

Dunna forget the De Havilland Mosquito's ...

..... and the often overlooked and under appreciated Hurricane - the work horse of the BoB.

Am I wrong or did the spitfire have the same rolls Royce engine?

What if you were a Me262?

Can you hear the whistle sound when in the cockpit ?

No, I could only hear the loud purr of the Merlin and the pounding of my heart as we made a snap roll and skimmed the surface of a local reservoir.

No, you can't hear the whistle in the cockpit. I flew in "Crazy Horse" in 2012 and asked about the infamous whistle sound. They informed me that it is not caused by the engine, the supercharger or the intake, it's caused by the passage of air over the gun muzzles. By way of proof "Crazy Horse" has no guns, does not whistle. "Crazy Horse 2" has guns, does whistle. Although trying to convince people of this fact is nigh on impossible!

You are very correct, sir ! Jim Beasley, owner of P51D "Bald Eagle" confirmed this by selectively taping over the gun ports and muzzles. Turns out most of the whistle is from the inboard-most gun on each side. There is a bit of supercharger whine mixed in, of course, but the whistle itself is indeed the gun ports. I was fortunate enough to fly "Crazy Horse 2" and can confirm that the whistle is not audible in the cockpit. Not much is except for the noise of the Merlin !!!!

Roland Gangloff

SupernalOne the reason the F4u is named that is you hear the whistle before the engine rumble even though it's quieter

Parker Partain yes, on one youtube clip of a diving Corsair it sounds like some coursing hound whining with eagerness as it sights its prey - somewhat blood-chilling, I confess :)

Bf109 supercharger: Let me introduce myself.

@@samanli-tw3id the 109 was a great Plane, like the 51. I love the 190 too, it got pretty Fast, but it was very good in Boom and Zoom, like the P47.

Why did he say that? Because these things have their bare metal showing. Meaning we were producing aircraft faster than we could produce paint!

I think you are confusing that with the instance when a group of Mosquitos bombed Berlin during Goering's speech

like HONESTLY. i could just put this into a loop and FALL ASLEEP to the sound of that beautiful engine.

John Marubayashi gives me chills. Looks up p51 ultimate whistle sound

Awesome if you were Allied, scary as hell if you weren't.

Well what a great birthday!

jazziel esaú castro balbuena I like the f4u and p47 better

Jirapat Thaenphromrat I like the giant steel pipe with wings AKA the P-47

same ! it must have been an amazing sight

like being on the beach for the real life of the scene at beginning of saving private ryan where it shows AAAaalll the boats n zeppelins n whatever near the beach.

observation balloons... not zeppelins

MrCcragg27 this be true. rewatched that scene the other day. they almost even look like some antifly-by thing for enemy planes. ...or sky mines. those would be cool but dangerous for everone.

Barrage balloons

well, unless they were german

Would be good to see cockpit video of that.

razor3110 I dont think he meant a view of the P-51's cockpit, but an view from the cockpit of the P-51 dogfighting the MiGs

+alain belanger Maybe a few got lucky but the Mig is the plane that retired the P-51 as a US Air Force fighter. We had to scramble to get Sabers in the air to combat the Migs.

Who did retired or kill the Bismark "Off speed" Plane

+Wonkabar007 ----- type *Kermie Cam - P 51C Mustang - Part 3* into the KZfaq search box for a great cockpit video of a P-51 taking off, flying, and landing. So wild, crazy, wonderful, and terrifying because of how busy the pilot is.

And to think most of the Merlins produced were made by Packard Motor Car Company, best engine they ever produced!

No...only a third.

ALL Merlin engines are ROLLS ROYCE Merlins

soaringtractor Damn still no life

soaringtractor Yes that intelligent life is to repeat the same insults and avoid wars.

Of course... every war is over when the enemies fly above your capital

+Sean Krug It all started with theP-51 Mustang.

...or it could just be another instance of motif in a WW2 movie. Interesting theory, though. If that is indeed the case, then I'd be very pleased that the creators took note of very intricate and trivial details to make a better representation of said events.

+Master Bader You know it's Hollywood when a plane notably a P-51 is a "tank buster"

+Dylan Milne Yeah in reality it would have been an RAF Typhoon......as Patton called on when the yanks couldn't get the job done.

no, the "tank buster" in WWII was the P-47 Thunderbolt

+Hyperious No it was the Hawker Typhoon........the reason why Patton called in the RAF at Failaise when the US couldn't get the job done.

It's funny you're arguing because "tank busters" accounted for 15 tank losses in the Falaise where the Germans lost around a total of 500 tanks there. Also, the P-51 was used in ground attack and against tanks. The P-47 and Typhoon were designed as fighters and so were not very effective at killing tanks. Il-2 Stuka and Hs-129 were the best tank killers of the war simply because they were designed to do so.

Merlin Mustangs never used a RR Built Merlin !!! All production Merlin Mustangs used the Made in America PACKARD MERLIN !! Yes they were different modified and different !!!

@@wilburfinnigan2142 Yes, you are correct. I use Rolls Royce Merlin kind of a catch all term for the Griffin as well. 👍🏻

+lander4545 It did indeed, however It was a British test pilot who flew the Mustang in the early 1940's. He was impressed with it, but suggested it would be a natural fit for the Rolls Royce Merlin 60 series engine. It was better suited to the plane, rather than the one the Americans had already put into it. Packard motor company was using the blueprints of the Merlin engine to produce the end result you see. The first merlin equipped mustang flew in November 1942.

+Shaun Morey When Packard received the blueprints they made many changes to the original Rolls Royce Merlin design. First Packard had to redraw all of the British drawing in order to convert them from first angle projection to the third angle projection used in the United States and to include manufacturing specifications in American terminology. From the tooling,head redesign ( Packard made new heads that where a two piece cylinder head and bank assemblies), updated crankshaft and main bearing materials,an automatic two stage supercharger,a pressurized Bendix/Stromberg carburetor and many many more changes. I have so much data on the changes Packard made to the Merlin engine I can go on and on. I laugh when someone comments that that The Rolls Royce Merlin and the Packard V-1650 were identical engines in every way. The Packard version was a far superior in quality engine built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit Michigan.

I don't know the details, but that sounds like a fair assessment, especially since, iirc, the Packard Merlins weren't being exchanged into Spitfires. Also, the early tests with a British Merlin equipped had serious corrosion issues thanks to different metals used in the engine design than the Allison, and the ones used in the Merlin just so happening to create an electrolysis reaction with the radiator. Which, to make a long story short, was not a good thing. Besides, borrowing someone else's ideas and trying to put a different spin on it is the American way.

lander4545 what nonsense. RR continued to improve the Merlin right up until the end of the war. The US were given the early specification drawings in 1943 to build the Merlin in the US. To suggest the Merlin is an American engine is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.

ALL Merlin engines are ROLLS ROYCE Merlins

Richard H should you got it wrong it is the two stage supercharger kicking in.

@@larrywilliams7993 British aircraft fitted with 2 stage / 2 speed super chargers had a barometer that was set up to kick in at 18 / 20k ft. U.S A/C would also be equipped in the same manner.

The " howl " sound one hears is the result no blast tube over the inner gun port side. Nothing to do with the radiator / supercharger. Not all Mustangs " howl " btw.

Roll Royce of the Skies, Merlin Engine.

Well of course it is, it's War Thunder

Meredith Effect....en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_effect

Gabriel Choi " Quote - Here I am watching this wonderful video of the p51 and I have to read in the comments of course some moron said the whining noise is comming from the gun ports lol can u believe that horse crap these kids think they know everything - End quote Hey genius, if it were the supercharger, the whine would be constant changing only in pitch according to the engine rpms. That wail is the sound of air rushing through the scoop where the radiator is located; when the rushing air approaches supersonic speeds through the scoop it accelerates even more coming out the back end. So before you call someone a moron, do your homework and don't make an assumption that would only show your stupidity. You putz!!!

Yeah right!! The only thing you've graduated from was the Dumbass School of Dumbassery!!! Quit hiding behind your keyboard you asshat clown!!! Besides with a name like Choi you are the one who needs to go back to China. I served proudly in the USAF from 1984 to 1988, so you better bet your scrawny flea-bitten ass that I am damn proud of my country!!! So clown did you serve?? Probably not!!!

Now I know you're lying you little punk-assed bitch!!! 6'6 and 340 ha!!! More like 4'6 and 114 lbs.

Keep dreaming shit for brains!!!

When a gun is in the port does it make that whistling?

@@08jag81 not sure about the gun itself, but I'm sure is contributes to the sound in some way.
