8 Epic B-17 Stories

I have a school project on the B-17 and have one of the video in my project.

The graphics are perfect.. like when i was a kid i was told a lot, its not about the graphics its about the story. You can use n64 graphics and id be fine with it, because im more interested in the story.

Edit: Rest in peace to all the fighter pilots, bomber crews, tank and ship crews and infantry they all fought bravely. (Except for the war crimes committed by any side)

i liked the way the last was animated

To see a picture of this, in an era far before cell phones, of something this incredible, makes the story hit home even more!

Around the 32 minute mark: the voice of Vossler is inaudible throughout the story. It was audible when I watched this video separately and not part of the compilation.

I think the real reason the US decided not to release the story of the German that spared Ye Old Pub, is to protect HIM from the cruelty of his own government.

One thing I don't understand is how you guys are not the largest channel for WWII contact

a pees on ya

What happened to the crew at the start did they bail out or did they die in disintegration

the gunner are not shot

To all stories, unless you take out the pilot or damage the plane to the point it falls apart by itself, those things couldn't be put down
fourth story: that plane wanted to get home and once it did, it finally gave way as it was safe and sound

Uh I think you got some information wrong. Every single time I have heard the 666 story from multiple sources, and even the wiki page, all claim only 1 person died, sarnoski. And 4 others were heavily injured.

If ever you do a Landcaster stories compilation, see if you can include the story of best friends Andrew Mynarski and Pat Brophy. Their plane was plummeting from the sky on fire as Mynarski slowly became a human torch trying to free Brophy from the rear turret which was jammed shut. Only giving up when Brophy ordered him to jump. His parachute was just cinders at that point and he died from impact+ burns not long after hitting the ground.

Meanwhile, Brophy survived. The Landcaster clipped a forest just before hitting a field and exploding with its full bombload. When it clipped, it tore the tail apart which threw Brophy out of the plane and into a tree. He didnt know that Minarski didnt survive until after the conclusion of the war.

bruh i just got stuck on a add and cant skip or get to the video i was trying to watch (this one)

The propaganda just never stops, huh?

Those sabatours of weapons and war manufacturing are unsung heros and modern "domestic terrorists" I would presume. Heard many tales of people who had dried oil, fouled gears, burred firing mechanisms....doing anything possible to slow progress and endangering their lives to make their presence known unknown. Cheers. Warriors are in many shapes and sizes. May them medal you never received find you in your next life.

Thank you

Storie two is so inspiring you have to do an updated version of this

I love this video make more like it!

Some very cool stories. One of my great uncles was a navigator in a b-17. I have a copy of a picture of him showing off his jacket with his various missions written on it. I wish I could hear him tell some stories

That final story is amazing. It is special to hear that even in the most ruthless of battles there are men of honour.

I hope you Remaster them in your movie

When did he make the last video ????

The American pilots and air crew of the bombers were very much protected with the 50 calibers. I believe there would be more Canadians alive today if they also would have hade the 50 calibers instead they hade the pea shooters British 303 calibers The incredible bravery of these Canadian bombers was most impressive very courageous.

During the “All American” story, when they collided I was only thinking about the War Thunder “YOU GOT A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING”

u ppl rthatclueless about gunbs i c

i love your vids carry on with the good work

You all have come such a long way from the start of your animations and i think that you all should keep up the good work and keep on making incredible stories, each story sems to somhow amaze me more than the last one. Keep up the good work!

It's strange how it is possible to kill another person who is your enemy and feel nothing having done it, yet years later wonder what that person might have done or been had you let him live.

😂a bit plane ✈ lol good one😂❤

How they could scrap some of these planes is beyond me.

To the end

That Stigler and Brown story just gives ya goosebumps!!!! Wow.

Great stories!!!!!!

Why do I keep getting the warthunder add but there's no b17 in it?

HI BOYS

I think your videos are great and I'm fortunate I was driving home watching the videos and I felt like I was in the cockpit 12-speed LOL just joking but not really great videos

Engines sound is replaced by a stupid music. What a pity.

Wow,, what a fantastic and also amazing storing as well. 😂

Good stories of there mission when we need to paying tribute to them all of there mission and there not easy milk run from there mission

Hi @Yarnhub, I wanted to ask you if you could make some Videos about the B17's that got shot down by the Swiss Air Force during world war 2, and, if possible, also one about all the other air to air combat above the ground in wich the swiss air force fought against german, french, britisch and american intruders.❤
I love your Videos!

My father in law was a tailgunner on a B-17 over Europe. He joined at 16 (lied about his age) and was flying in bombing missions at 17-18. He’s lucky he made it home. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

my favorite B-17 story involves the 8th Air Force 100th Bomb Group, aka "Bloody Hundredth". On one mission an apparently shot-up 100th BG B-17 went into apparent surrender mode, dropping the wheels....2 Bf-109's snuggled in close to bring the bomber in as a prize and capture the crew alive; the crew waited unitl they were close to the German fighter base, then the gunners - out of sight until then - suddenly manned their weapons and shot both German fighters down, killing the pilots. Then gunned the engines and eventually got back to base in England. Where at least some of the other crews thought this was a very cool trick; actually, had I been the Group intel officer, I would have had them all out on the tarmac with paint buckets, altering the groups tail-designator (triangle/C, IIRC) to something, anything else. Wasn't done tho. Next mission: c. 18 bombers out, One wise pilot experiences (ahem) "engine problems" and turns back. Approaching the target, a mass of Luftwaffe fighters - alerted precisely to find and "get" the triangle/C designated BG - swarmed the 100th Group and shot down all but one.

Do one on p-51s

Will the king reply?👑

bro the part when it goes from the bounce jr plane to the yo olde pub was out of this world
