Who found this channel randomly and fell in love with it.

Rear gunner: “bro I’m straight up not having a good time”

I feel so bad for that poor warbird.. She got through all of that scary stuff, and gets scrapped at the end.. 😔

Aloha Airlines Flight 243: *Nearly gets pulled in half* All American: *"First time?"*

Before: All American After: Mostly American and a little German

B-17: "We goin' home today." BF-109: "I think not-" B-17: *"I said, we goin' home today."*

* Tail falls off * Tail Gunner: *Adios*

BF 109: I'll kill your tail B 17: How about no BF 109: Understandable, have a great day

Me: this must be in a museum the army: how about we scrap this legendary plane

Another legendary history lesson made with animation

Virgin 747: "Mommy a sparrow hit me and I need 2 months off" Chad B-17: "About 25 percent of me made it back? I'll be back over berlin before sundown."

Pilot:we are going home today boys! Tail gunner: sir, our tail part is nearly torn off! Pilot: DID I STUTTER!?

The dogfight scene is just stunning. I still can’t get over how good the animations are

Yes the characters are much more realistic with their eyes white

If this was war thunder: “You will leave your aircraft in 15 seconds”

An interesting series of recent events have lead to this being recommended on my feed... Rest in peace B-17 and P-63 crews of the Dallas air show

When I was a young kid, my best friend was my cousin, Mark. One day he and I were looking through a box of his Dad's WWII pictures and we came upon a photo of a B-17. This wasn't surprising since his Dad had been a mechanic at an air base in North Africa. The amazing thing was that this particular B-17 was almost completely cut in half just ahead of the vertical stabilizer. The plane had even been the subject of a Life Magazine article, so we thought it was pretty cool the see the plane his Dad had worked on made famous . That plane was the All American... subject of this video. From the stories Mark's Dad told us, everything in this video seems to get all the facts right, and it's fun to see that amazing story online. It really is a testament to the ruggedness of the B-17 and the crews who flew - and maintained - them. BTW, I had another uncle who was the pilot featured in a series of articles in Life Magazine as it flew a number of missions over Germany and another uncle, the late Sgt Major Brooks Cely, USMC who appeared on the cover of an issue leaping from a LVP-(R) landing craft as it his the beach on Guadalcanal. As you can imagine, we kids grew up with quite a few war stories, especially since my Dad came from a 5 star family. All the brothers made it home, even Uncle Raymond who spent a good deal of the war after 1943 in a Stalag (Luft) until liberated by my Dad.

The B17: *Critically Damaged* The Crews: Tis But a scratch.

Amazing story - those iron ladies were as tough as old boots. I heard a similar tale recently, of a B17 that came back from Germany with a gaping hole in the fuselage; she got her crew home, got down safely and only then, deciding she'd had enough, collapsed and broke in half. Truth never needs embellishing - never mind what John Ford once said!

Scrapped, that's so heartbreaking. The ol girl got her crew home safe time after time only to be discarded

I mean there’s a reason why it’s called the “Flying Fortress” right?

Before: All american After: 80% American, with few parts missing and some additional German parts

Hmmmm..... I wonder why this video was suddenly recommended to me the day after Texas.

I am a military historian (non professional jsut been at it since 1974). Bravo! I love seeing these stories come to life. How about a video on the man who inspired the opening scenes of Private Ryan, and the motto of the US Army Rangers? Brigadier General Norman “Dutch” Cota, was assistant division commander of the 29th Infantry Division and a major contributor to the strategic planning of and advisor in Operation Overlord. When General Cota came ashore at Omaha Beach, he saw men huddled and hiding, weapons tossed aside or lost in some cases. With Utter disregard for his own safety he rallied and led the troops to open one of the first exits off the beach. Shouting "Gentlemen, we are being killed on the beaches. Let us go inland and be killed. He advanced to the seawall, using Bangalore torpedoes and wire cutters to clear a path. They destroyed the machine gun nest, and punched through. General Cota had also found Max Schneider’s 5th Ranger Battalion under cover, Cota shouted “What outfit is this?" A loud voice replied "5th Rangers!" To which he shouted his response "Well, God damn it, if you are Rangers, then get up there and lead the way!" "Rangers lead the way" became the motto of the U.S. Army Rangers thereafter.

B-17 Are Really A Flying Fortrees , Can Fly With Heavy Damages

On behalf of all the people watching Thank you for making all this consistent, high quality and well researched content for us to watch.

Saw this in the recommended feed after what happened in dallas

I think it is so important and wonderful to have these old planes flying so generations can get even a small idea of the sacrifices that generation made. I had the honor of flying on one with my wife’s grandfather who had to jump out of one during WWII. Thx for telling this story.

In War thunder : YOU'VE GOT A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING

German pilot : fails to destroy the all american American govt: fine..... I'll do it myself!

Anyone else get a weird sense of pride watching this? Like "you bet your ass that plane is all American"

damn, just like real life

We need story's like these, The veterans won't tell them, They are too humble. 👍

And this is why B-17s were called “The Flying Fortresses”. Nice animation👍

All American: I didn't hear no bell...

I think it's amazing how much damage the b 17 can take without going down immediately

"How the hell she's still flying?" B-17: I didn't call the Flying Fortress for no reason.

Real life: our tails is heavily damaged and almost Torn apart War thunder: *WE HAVE A HOLE IN OUR RIGHTS WING!*

Again, well done, Yarnhub! Super accurate story here. We have SSgt.Sam Sarpolus' uniform and story currently on display. The Michigan Heroes Museum relates the stories of over 850 Michigan warriors and astronauts on a rotating basis, and we know Sam's story well. Here are some things about that day that you might not know: - Boeing used the photo of the All American in flight taken by Charles Cutforth in a magazine advertisement, boasting their quality craftsmanship in 1944. We have a copy of that in Sam's display - Sam said that during the event, he was preoccupied with fighting off the 109's. He looked to see if any chutes were dropping below him, but he just kept firing at the German planes until they disengaged, as he did not see any. - Sam also related that Captain Bragg turned over control of the All American to the co-pilot and called a meeting in the center of the plane. Sam said, "in order to get there, had to crawl over what was left of the catwalk and part of the German plane's wing that was embedded in the fuselage, looking at daylight on both sides of the ship, and got to the center the same time as the skipper." - The meeting in the center of the plane was where they decided that they would ride her (the All American) back. - A doctor who rushed onto the field to treat injured crew members, was happily told by Sam, "No business today!"

Recommended to me after what happened in dallas. Jesus the algorithm's kinda morbid.

B-17 is just a marvel of bomber engineering. There are so many stories regarding the bomber taking so much damage and still flew back home, while the same damage inflict upon other planes would basically disintegrate it in the air.

Finally. *a e r i a l k a m i k a z e.*

My Grandfather knew the bombardier Ralph personally. God bless the brave Americans who flew in WW2.

I love the update to this and the added photo was amazing to see, this crew were so lucky to make it back that day.

A little piece: They reused some of the “When a Bf-109 spared a B17, the reboot” clips.

Them scrapping that plane is a crime against history... anyways thank you all as usual. Love seeing the story of the All American in any format but you guys make everything extra special!

Let's just appreciate how he puts so much effort into these videos each video must require lots of time and effort to create. you deserve more subscribers

Not the only B-17 that got sliced in half

The animation keeps getting better

I have waited a long time for this moment

This channel keeps getting better and better! Love the content, keep it up!!!

Who’s here in 2022 just after the Dallas mid-air collision involving a B-17

so nobody gonna talk about the two german planes that tried to fight an entire fleet.. talk about balls of steel for the german pilots

Can we take a moment to appreciate the collision? The projectiles were clearly depicted in the animation.

He does such detailed videos, I highly respect it and I am trying to use any speech skills I hear for my videos to help speak clearly, thank you Yarnhub, your a big help.

Been loving this channel for years!

I am proud of these men who showed extraordinary courage.

This animation is actually very good! Apparently iam not the only one who thinks the animation gets loads better every episode. Xd

I absolutely love this channel. This channel is absolutely amazing. I wish I could watch this everyday at every second. Keep doing what you love and keep up the good work.😄😁👍

The Bomber should be called "Slice n' Diced" Awsome video !

"Japanese deploys kamikazes" Germans: Can we copy your homework?

When you realize it’s the same thing that happened today in Dallas texas on the airshow.

WHAT A BRILLIANT CHANNEL THIS IS ....ALWAYS TOLD WITH HEART AND RESPECT FOR BOTH SIDES. THANK YOU! 200Kid

It’s extremely stunning that the plane survived. The animation quality is brilliant!

Wow it is night and I am like:”no way yarnhub is gonna upload a video now just have to wait for tomorrow, life is full of surprises

I like how smooth and well-animated was the collision.

5:33 "Ey man, could you grab my jacket on the way?" You gotta be kidding me.

war thunder players: HOW ARE THEY NOT DEAD I HIT THEM WITH MY OWN PLANE! Edit: thanks for 248 likes! i appreciate it

This channel taught me more in a week than school teaches me in a year

Good job mate! Very interesting part of history I never knew about, thanks!

I’ve been here since before the 3d animation and I’ve got to say, y’all are doing an awsome job. This is honestly my comfort channel

Ok. In all seriousness, this video is pure gold. The detail is crisp and the info is fantastic. Yarnhub seriously needs some more publicity since your videos are just amazing. Love this video and the channel.

Japanese: * crashes enemy with plane * Germans: "Sharpen my wings, please"

I saw pics of this plane in an old warbirds book dealing with the air war. It was a testament as to how tough these planes were!

Welp, something similar happened today

This is amazing, my great grandfather was a b17f pilot in this raid flying the Miami Clipper.

Japanese Pilot Veteran After hearing this: Excuse me what? Edit: Ey Thx for the likes

Thank you for these great videos, I love your channel

And yet in video games bombers like the B-17 can be brought down by just practically spitting at it... Wonderful video and a very informative moment in history. Every time I see one of your videos, I learn something, I never forget it, I recommend it to my friends and my old high school history teacher (and my JROTC instructor), and I understand a little more that history is full of moments like this that, if not for people like you, would go completely forgotten or unnoticed. Bravo and Well Done.

The B-17 truly lived up to its name "The Flying Fortress" with all the abuse it was able to take. I remember seeing that image at 4:45 in one of my World War II books. I loved the designs of the aircraft in that era. Its nice to finally know the story!

I remember my grandpa telling me WW2 stories, he was a tail gunner of a b-17, I forget most of the story as this was years ago, but I specifically remember him saying that he saw a fellow b-17 get almost cut in half when another plane crashed into its side, I forget what the name was, but if my grandpa witnessed this he must have been horrified. RIP Harold.

I can't stop watching these animations. Best I've ever seen...subbed

What an incredible story!!! I live in Wichita kansas. Where those planes were built. We are So proud of them and the lives they saved!

On the radio. Tail Gunner: ahh.. code brown code brown Crew: all our pants are brown bro. No judgement here man no judgement here 😂

YESSSS I LOVE THIS TOOOO The lighting is amazing

What a great story with an unbelievable ending. Presentation was excellent.

You are the best channel for these types of stories

This is what I watch at 3:27 AM. I do not regret as this is incredible. I have also not watched this while video. I have now watched the whole video and this is another great video.

“So Dad, what was your most intense moment of the war?” “The fact that I had a plane that was flying in two.”

Dude you need so many more subscribers, the cgi looked 100% like the photo and the break down was amazing

KZfaq algorithm has terrible timing

Mom yells at me, smacks me with a 1 inch thick broom stick, and even locked me in my room for 3 days without seeing the light for only watching KZfaq. She says KZfaq can never give me knowledge and KZfaq is useless. However she still can't believe where I get all these knowledge from. She denies I get this knowledge from google history books and KZfaq history animations. I think my mom is just confused that I can learn more in KZfaq and google history books than in school but why does she have to torture me? BTW this is amazing history animation! The dogfights of those planes were stunning!

The thing I love about this channel is that they put captions up, other ww2/history channels may have captions but the captions would be word guessing or other stuff like that. Very nice channel!

This is the best chanel ever I just can't stop watching. Keep going I love your videos👍❤

First time I see this channel, well deserve a sub. Nice job

I do sometimes miss the old 2D animation,it was colourful and stylish. But the 3D animation has come a long way.The amount of detail and work put into these videos are impeccable. I still wonder how much the quality will increase overtime. Great work yarnhub!

BF-109: slams into B-17 B-17: imma do whats called a pro gamer move

I have a special love for the aviation episodes. Such good animations

Why am I getting recommended this after what recently happened

There is no other history channel with this good animation....really love this !
