My grandfather was a bomber pilot in the second world war. He flew an Avro Lancaster for the Canadian Air Force at 19 years of age. He survived but passed when I was young, so unfortunately, I didn't get to know him or the things he went through in his life, especially that young. This video really hits close to home. The characters could have been tank commanders, or ground troops, or naval captains, but there's something about the isolation of a flying box, far from home, that really makes you understand just what it means to have everything you hold dear stripped from you, only to be left with bitterness and evil. In the end, these two men weren't fighting for their families, their gods, or their countries. They were fighting because they wanted to see the other man dead.

[@martinquerre9614]

I do have the disturbing impression that the pilot of the Spitfire is a female !! Could it be so in the sense that the director of this anime intended not so much illustrating a WW2 conventional "dogfight" than showing an allegorical tragedy about a love story between man and woman driven to a bitter and lethal end ?..

[@nulS228]

After all, the Second World War is not an ordinary war. And it's kind of cynical to say that people were just trying to kill each other.

By the time they have their brief moment of lucidity, their mutual hatred has already doomed them. They're out of fuel, flying over harsh terrain, planes shot to absolute pieces, and injured. I think it's the realization that, whether they end the fight or not, they're never getting back home that makes them snap, the rage and hatred completely taking over.

A perfect display for hate being nothing but fuel. Hate can be so strong that you are suddenly able to do things you would never have imagined before. Never say "I would never kill someone!" before you know what hate really means. Both pilots might have been husbands, fathers, yet their hate grew so strong that they just wanted to destroy each other at all costs. Hate is one of the most primal feelings, yet it will never get old or oudated. It will stick with us forever.

[@kareningram6093]

This film was an emotional gut punch.

Somebody did some serious research while making this film. The Spitfire could in fact out-dive the 109, so that was the go-to evasion technique for Commonwealth fliers trying to shake a German pursuer. Thus the dramatic plunge the British pilot takes here is historically accurate. (109s could out-climb Spits though, so that was the ploy Messerschmitt pilots used when the shoe was on the other foot.) Great film!

[@dstavs]

And the Spitfire’s tighter turning circle and faster turn rate.

[@Kuhn3y]

Hey man love that you know all this cool stuff. I had a question, is there is mechanical system put in place to make sure the bullets don't hit the propellor?

[@RobMacKendrick]

​@@Kuhn3y All fighters since mid-WWI that had machine guns firing through the prop had that. It was invented by a Dutch engineer (Anthony Fokker) working for the Germans. Interestingly, Fokker's design just used the prop to trigger the gun in the first place; the firing mechanism is linked to the shaft so it's the turning of the prop itself that fires the gun, meaning you can just set it to fire when no blade is in front, rather than trying to design a device that interrupts the gun when a blade is in front. Sometimes the difficulty is more how you're thinking about the problem, than the actual outcome you're looking for.

[@Kuhn3y]

@@RobMacKendrick that’s really interesting, that’s a very simple solution to that problem. Really appreciate the time you took to answer that man.

Это было в 1943 году. В Беларуси шли тяжёлые бои. Мой дед был советским летчиком. В тяжёлом бою его самолёт был весь в дырах. Всё его звено погибло. И у немцем остался один Мессершмидт. Весь разрисованный какими то девками. Деду удалось обойти его сзади и всадить очередь в хвостовое оперение. Самолёт стал падать и немец выпрыгнул с парашютом. У деда ещё оставалось горючее и патроны. Но он увидел, что у немца была оторвана рука и он был сильно изранен. Он пролетел пару раз над его парашютом, но не стал его добивать. В 1963 году ему пришло письмо из Германии от некого Вернера Шульца. Он открыл конверт, а в письме было только одно слово по русски: "Спасибо". Он был уверен, что письмо прислал тот немецкий лётчик, но как он разыскал адрес деда, так и осталось загадкой.

This animation is a masterpiece. The two pilots fighting it out till their last bullet and showing no mercy to each other. Because of the rage and constant fighting, has made them completely blind about the fact that they are not coming back home. Bullets drained, low fuel, their planes being torn to bits, and not caring about themselves shows how much hatred they have on each other. They both ran out of bullets and they decide to give up. They finally realized that they are not going to make it back home. One lost his wife, the other lost his cross, they are both extremely low on fuel, and their plane conditions will not hold up for long all…they have no faith nor hope. And the two completely snap, the hatred takes over, and they want to kill each other so badly because the two think that the other ruined them, even though their hatred towards each other had ruined them both. So they try to finish the fight no matter what.

I love the borderlands like art direction, it probably wasn't on purpose but it so very reminds me of it, from the intense firefights to the insanity and even the comic book like details and attention to each scene. It's great! 10/10

The style is called 'cell shading' I believe, also a big fan!

@@matthewminney1304 "cell shading" is actually a common misspelling, especially if you only heard the name. It's called "cel shading" and has nothing to do with any "cells". :)

I love how he used the Bf 109 B-1/A-1 (one of the earliest variants of the bf 109), i rarely see those used in animations and media overall. Very nice animation also! Edit: nvm, i believe the Bf 109 shown in the video is either the Bf 109 C or D. Those planes maintained the look of the 109 A and B but had 2 extra machineguns in the wings (same armament as the Bf 109 E-1)

It's when both the pilots realize that their little pieces of home they have with them were destroyed...the Brit's picture of his girl, and the German's piece of jewelry around his wrists...its like the two of them realize the only thing holding them together was gone...

Fantastic animation. Reminds me a bit of the old Heavy Metal stuff. This one, pilots of equal ability going at it with two legendary aircraft: the British Spitfire vs the German Messerschmitt 109E. I love the raw emotion conveyed of both pilots. I also love the tracers; not only the ammo fire but also the flight paths. Great stuff, thanks.

@@ukaszpartyka4282 Further evidence for this being a pre-E version is the two-bladed propeller that was upgraded to three blades for the E version. It can be seen in the few frames where the two aircraft collide. What confused me at first was the insignia as I can not find any references of Jagdgeschwader 53 (Pik-As) flying versions earlier than the E. Also, I would place this fight in October 1940 or later as there is neither a red stripe in the nose nor a swastika on the tail.

При Капитализме война является ОБЫЧНЫМ способом получить Прибыль. В условиях Капитализма Мира не будет. Но основателей Капитализма пугает почему-то Коммунизм. «Война - это способ богатых людей защитить свои интересы, посылая детей среднего и бедного классов на смерть!» Джордж Карлин (1937 - 2008г) Почему ведутся войны, кто получает прибыль и кто оплачивает войну? Главная цель всех войн - это получение Прибыли крупными капиталистами - производителями оружия и снаряжения - и банкирами. Цитата (не дословно) "Посмотрите на капиталистов: они стараются разжечь национальную вражду в простом народе, а сами отлично обделывают свои делишки... Против рабочих объединены капиталисты всех наций и религий, а рабочих стараются разделить и ослабить национальной враждой! Дело в экономической системе, построенной на частной собственности на средства производства, когда один может присваивать плоды труда многих." Ничего не меняется... Война - это способ богатых людей защитить свои интересы, посылая детей среднего и бедного класса на смерть. Война - это когда абсолютно незнакомые парни убивают друг друга в интересах очень хорошо знакомых людей Взрослые лишают детства новое поколение... Дети - мишени взрослых амбиций Дети - заложники вечных традиций Похоти, жадности, прочих жестоких страстей Взрослых игры всегда убивают детей... Война несёт лишь страдания, никому не давая счастья взамен. Чем больше будет бессмысленных жертв, тем сильнее ненависть и сердечных ран, которые никогда не затянутся

[@Alexandroff_]

@@Minato842 сказки, капитализм больше денег зарабатывает без войны на торговле, туризме. Войны развязывают диктаторы, которые десятилетиями держатся за власть и распускают байки про мировое правительство, промышленных гигантов и рептилоидов.

A masterpiece of animation, very original.

Thats humans for you. The little details, the glass in the air, the spinning ammo counters, the damaged and fluttering flight surfaces, the frantic striving to be the one to get that lucky shot in - and then a moment of silence. Wow i still reckon this rocks great work!
