We originally did this as a short but by popular request we have now remade it as a full film.

It’s January 11, 1944, and over 140 B17’s from the 401st Bomber Group are locked in desperate combat in the skies above Germany. Bf 109s, 110s, and FW 190s swarm all over the American machines. At the head of the formation Lieutenant Colonel Allison C. Brooks can do nothing but encourage his men forward and hope. 44 P-51 Mustangs of the 354th Fighter Group race to the rescue. Lead by Major James H. Howard he spots the battle taking place through the clouds but also a second group of BF 109s far below, he’s evaluating the situation when suddenly a voice shouts over the radio “go down and get them!”

“

Outstanding storytelling, breathtaking animation, and incredible tribute to Major James Howard's unmatched courage and heroic sacrifice.

To his complete horror his entire fighter group immediately dives for the Messerschmitts. He tries to order them back but in the confusion only 3 of his fighters abort the run while the rest head straight into combat. How could just 3 of them hold off the Germans? What happens next is an incredible feat of aviation skill by Howard. Brooks later said of Howard’s defense of the B-17s, "For sheer determination and guts, it was the greatest exhibition I've ever seen. It was a case of one lone American against what seemed to be the entire Luftwaffe. He was all over the wing, across and around it. They can't give that boy a big enough award."

So how come you feel a need to distort history by removing the swastikas from the German planes but you keep the swastikas kills on the American planes?

1:38 P-51s arrive but split up

2:17 Howard goes in alone

as a longtime fan of your channel I just realized that in this video you say that they're P-51 Mustangs but the model is a P-40 though it is still a great film

Conhecí este canal ontem, estão de parabens

@diogochioto6821

P-51 really, is honoured to be a best fighter plane of allies in WW2.

@esajuhanirintamaki965

True American hero. He’d kick Trump’s ass….

@GeitenbreierUnited

aproventando o yarnhub eu sou muito seu fã cara seus videos são muito bons mesmo

@mito_gamert1t

caramba mano esse cara é muito brabo

@mito_gamert1t

At 3:39 did anyone else notice the P-51 prop wasn't animated? 😂

@ConnorBarger-e3v

Cool vid.

@KKRioApartments

Please do a story on the C-47 "Flying Dutchman" 41-18564 Door Diary. Crashed in Papua New Guinea during WW2. It is quite a sad story

@David-s9u2i

No suprise. He was a Flying Tiger in Asia.
Once a Tiger - ALWAYS a Tiger!

@BuckeyeBigfoot

Main character acting

@LieutenantBluebird

Sempre assisto o material produzido, mas hoje UMA FALHA GRITANTE APARECEU. o piloto americano combatendo os alemães e bandeiras japonesas marcando seus abates.... Um pouco mais de cuidado é bom
Brasil

I always watch the material produced, but today A glaring mistake appeared. The American pilot fighting the Germans and Japanese flags marking his kills... A little more care would be good.

@agostinhodepoa

3:39 Propeller go ʘ_ʘ

@Worker_model_6103

all so that England would fall from within by it's own people!

@crimped357

¿Porque tenía pintadas banderas japonesas? ¿Lucho en el Pacífico?

@macb1970

Poorly edited, read a book.....geez...

@stevebryant4207

I mean he was a pretty ineffective leader as his entire command engaged without his orders and only three pulled back when he said something.

@Guardias

Anybody notice that the browning at 1:11 didn’t have an ammo box?

@thedarklordofnaboo

what a fucking Chad. 3 Confirmed kills, but like 5 assists at least

@AzureViking

the plot armor was insane

@vlad_vonbampire

@PatrioticDood

3:37-3:39 а это вообще шикарно,! Дякую+

@Натан999

Sir, we are surrounded
Great! that means we can fire in any direction!

@Fred_uyz

Those are Japanese kills not German kills on the side of his cockpit

@glennkreinus7368

why were the P51 far from the bombers in the first place?

@exicunowlibra4238

Good Video. General Howard Started Out As A Navy Pilot, Then Became An Ace With The AVG & Then An Ace In Europe. Imagine Being An Ace In Two Different Aircraft Against Two Different Enemies! Thank You. (Comment #2,147)

@thewatcher5271

I really appreciate the quality and even handed nature of these videos. Brave men in desperate battles.

@at1970

The KITTY IS @8:58 ON THE DESK!!!! 😁

@Arapuss2

Love your videos. I hope you still are recreating these historical moments

@jeremyberns3505

fake as hell, no one single and even rookie pilot, even at close range, exit from a dive exactly going the opposite.....you are a perfect full figure target in this way, with a lot less energy and speed. It's the first wrong manouver every pilot knows to avoid

@valeriobertucci6159

3:40 mins the p51 rotor isnt moving

@cristianrat-im6xz

B17 are strong bird but they are not agile so defender fighters are needed

@shinigamizerokai

Wow he up against the best German and Japanese

@isaacibanezlopez9101

Any one noticed the cat 8:56.

@mexican707

Tremendo exitoso el creador de estos videos

@unrandomjejeje

Bro really did one man air force

@NatMungcal-bf3gr

Quão orgulhosos ficaram os pais e familiares de Howard! Que herói da vida real!

@ramonportocorretor

And died in 1945

@DallasThompson-q1e

I have. A Uncle who was involved with the Nazis and he got into a dog fight with a 109 swastika pilot

@DallasThompson-q1e

Incredible

@TallerLeanerYoungerwithDrSimon

Alguien piensa que estaria chido una película de esta azaña...!
La verdad seria una gran película por cierto muy excelente video 👍

@alexvargas-u1r

I built this model a few times when I was a kid unaware of his heroism DING HAO.
