It’s midday on February 9th, 1944, near the harbor of Nice, southern France.
4 Supermarine Spitfires belonging to the 4th squadron of the 52nd Fighter Group circle their targets. One by one they dive, unleashing bombs and a volley of gunfire into the convoy of cargo ships below.
On board of one of these fighters is pilot Robert Anderson Hoover.
Hoover is making a turn when suddenly a single 20mm shell strikes him at the root of the wing. In a blur the wing shears off and his Spitfire twists in an uncontrollable tumble. Hoover hangs on and pulls himself out of the doomed machine.
Captured, Hoover is interred in Stalag Luft I, a prison camp outside Barth, Germany.
When he finally escapes he manages to get to safety by stealing a Luftwaffe FW-190.
It's an incredible story of an amazing pilot and his bid to reach home.

Bob Hoover was a country boy from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. His people were dairy farmers who became one of the leading material contractors in the Central South. They are known for limestone, concrete and building products. Mr. Hoover was a class act all the way..... A true gentleman to everyone. He would visit Ed Lowe's Air Service and Maintenance at old Sewart Air Force Base in Smyrna, Tennessee which was a full service air company, and the regional hangout for WWII and Korean War aviation veterans. There was nothing they could not repair, build or fly. Mr. Hoover was kind and considerate to the wash jockey kids who serviced the aircraft for Ed Lowe. All those old war horses were a great bunch of guys and would teach anything they knew to anyone who was generally interested. Their body of knowledge and skill are lost to time, but they made their mark during War and to the education of future aviators in the industry today....

As a student Naval Aviator In the early 1970s at an airshow at NAS Pensacola FL, I saw Bob Hoover do a DEADSTICK loop, aileron roll, turn, landing, and taxi to a precise stop in front of the announcer in his Rockwell Shrike. Bob rolled up in front of the crowd and came to a gentle stop with both props standing at attention. Have not seen such a display of such precise airmanship since. Hoover did not fly the airplane, he wore it like a glove! Bob, thanks for the inspiration.

And that just reflects how easy it is to fly a Fw190. Fw190, from automation of prop pitch, engine, cowling, and fuel mixture, to cockpit set up to flap, control rod arrangement, were all designed around the pilot. It was probably the most pilot friendly aircraft of WWII.
@kristoffermangila

That also shows the attention to details of the plane's designer, Kurt Tank. He probably had long talks with fighter pilots in the field and took their inputs on what works and what doesn't, and incorporated them into the 190.

That’s one reason why I think the FW-190 was perhaps the best designed German aircraft of WW2. It’s just such a (uncharacteristically not German) stupidly simple, rugged, and effective design that it’s just amazing. Plus the the fact that it used cranks and arms to control its flight surfaces, not wires like other aircraft of the day, is even crazier. And the fact that the flaps had three settings that were set with just a push of a button and it sported some of the best cockpit visibility of any fighter of the war. Their only real flaws were early cooling issues and poor high altitude performance (which led to the Dora). I usually think German engineering is incredibly overrated, but I think the 190 is actually incredibly underrated.

He was a showman like no other; always friendly, always willing to talk, always eager to re-tell his memories of his years aloft. May God Bless Bob Hoover! Wheels Up!

Bob Hoover was a legend in his own time. Being professional pilot, I use to fly a Strike Commnder. And I got to see him well the man could fly way better that I ever would and then some. I retired last year after 47 years of accident free flying for a living. That generation is all but gone now. World War II was much closer to us when I was a little boy playing with surplus WW-II stuff, piles of it was still around and balsa wood airplanes. I will be flying west myself one day too!

Вопрос, почему ваши мусульмане бегут не в страны ислама, где у вас одна вера, один народ, обычаи, климат даже еда, а в страны Запада к неверным кафирам . Во-вторых, почему ваши исламские страны, такие как Саудовская Аравия, страны Персидского залива и т. д., не принимают своих беженцев, мусульман единоверцев, в-третьих, почему вы со всех сторон повторяете, что ислам - это религия справедливости и равенства, но вы этого не делаете.Не допускайте неверных кафиров-зимми в ваши города Мекку и Медину, но вас пускают везде, в Ватикан, в храмы Будды Кришны, Стену Плача, Храм Христа Спасителя и другие святыни разных вероисповеданий. Разве это не расизм, фашизм и деление людей на людей первого сорта, то есть вас, мусульман, и прочих второсортных унтерменшей? А также почему у вас предусмотрена смертная казнь для мусульман, принявших другую веру и оставивших ислам, и в то же время вы ведете открытую пропаганду в странах Запада и других неисламских странах по продвижению вашего ислама и даже создаете там шариатские ополчения, хотя это является прямым нарушением конституций тех стран Запада, в которых вы живете, принявших вас в качестве беженцев, но при этом вы запрещаете пропаганду в своих странах любой другой веры, кроме ислама, и за это подвергаетесь смертная казнь. Разве это не расизм и исламский фашизм?

You are exactly right. I met Bob Hoover at an airshow many years ago. He told that very story of the B-26 to several of us standing there chatting with him. No one else would try to fly it and they were getting ready to blow it up. He came along and volunteered. He had never flown one before, but figured he could do it and had them strip it down and with just enough fuel to get to a nearby base. Sure wish I could have recorded that conversation. I didn't know at the time about his stealing a FW 190 to escape. I would have enjoyed hearing firsthand about that.

On February 9, 2020 I met an elderly gentleman with both legs missing, he wore a cap with "USS Hornet" on it. I was in the grocery store in The Dalles, Oregon when I met him, and I spent nearly an hour listening to the man tell of his stories on the famous ship. Finally, I had to continue with my shopping, but I never saw the man again, and I wondered if he was still living because Covid started the following month, and I would have loved to hear more of his stories. I had told him that he needs to write the stories down, never thinking that I could have been the one to do it for him. It wasn't until I left the store that I realized I never got the old man's name and I have no idea where he lives, or if he is still living. Hearing this story about the pilot reminded me of the old man in the wheelchair I met in Fred Meyer's and the amazing stories he had to tell me. This pilot had an awesome story to tell for his children and grandchildren that they would never forget. Thank you for showing this.

One line used in this video "he finally earned his Freedom." Indeed! Freedom ain't never been Free. It must be earned, and then fought for to keep! Excellent story. Put together very nicely. Thank you. Thumbs up 👍🏻 ~John

The subtle nuances are above and beyond the call of duty. The animation of Hoover leaving the handles of his bicycle while on the run is one such marvelous detail. That, along with the glare of sunshine against the French woman.

Wow, I didn't even make the connection when you kept saying Robert Hover. Simply amazing! I got to see him do his demonstrations in the late 1980s and was so awestruck

I said it last week, but your latest animation style is absolutley stunning! Brilliantly done as always! On another note, I introduced your channel to my younger brother, who has a few learning difficulties so often can't focus on educational content. But yours is done so well he was captivated! As far as I'm aware, he went to watch all of your videos afterwards and is now often asking me questions about history outside of the stories you've told. I really want to thank you guys for that, all the best!

Bob Hoover was an awesome pilot and lead a very interesting life as a test pilot for the military. He was also a close friend of Chuck Yeager. His autobiography is called Forever Flying. I highly recommend it!

Hoover - like his adversaries at the outset of this story - used his opportunity wisely and flew the FW-190 - the very plane that shot him down - like he stole it... Har. Contenting, knowing that he reunited with his escape-mate and ended up living a good long life. Thank you for posting this.
