Would love to see if you could do a reenactment of the raid on st. Nazaire, the greatest raid of all time. Love the content of this channel.

My grandmother manned the AA guns on the south east coast. I've read Spikes diary and novels, the goons hold a special place on my heart. I would visit the de la ware pavilion with my nan when she was alive. She would tell me about the sea defences and how they would shoot at doodle bugs, bombers fighters etc. Thanks for this video it's kinda touched me if that makes sense.

[@grimreapers]

Amazing thanks

[@jimrussell4062]

I think the takeoffs and landings are the most entertaining parts of these videos.

[@vintagepairdisplayteam910]

I absolutely LOVE the Goons and Milligan’s humour! Loved this mission.

[@imbetterthanyouis]

tail dragers used to zig zag along taxiways to see ahead , alternately someone used to sit on a wing and call out or signal directions

[@cover_now3425]

Much more fun to just lean your head out the window

[@cameron5802]

Absolutely loved the takeoffs.

[@krismurphy7711]

Why were the Squitos spinning so much....not the one that was on fire...nice flying and evasion.

[@tomsummers4005]

I believe the red tails are from the Tuskgee airmen, a squadron of black aviators. Never lost a bomber to fighters.

[@StevenVenette]

The Tuskegee Airmen had red tails, as did several units. Theirs was not just the rudder, but the whole tail being red. Also, they flew P51s, if I remember correctly.

[@m1t2a1]

@@StevenVenette P 40, P 39, P 47, and P 51. They were busy! Seems they only missed a few American fighters. P 38 from the army side, and two navy fighters. F6F and F4U. Did I miss one?

[@winstonsmith8441]

It is a myth that the Redtails never lost a bomber to enemy aircraft under their escort. The following is from an AP article in the Tuscaloosa News (an Albama town about 140 miles to the northwest of Tuskegee) published December 11, 2006, "Air Force records show that at least a few bombers escorted by the red-tailed fighters of the Tuskegee Airman were shot down by enemy planes, William F. Holton, historian of Tuskegee Airmen Inc., said in an interview Monday with The Associated Press." The article then goes on to cite excerpts from some mission reports that clearly stipulate the losses of bombers to enemy aircraft. The Redtails were very good, but they were not perfect...no one is.

[@grimreapers]

Cool

[@michaelmckinnon7314]

The P-47s appear to be in Francis Gabreski's markings

You had me at me at Spike Milligan....lol my Dad is a pom and has the complete Goon show on vinyl.

[@billthebold]

Milligan's book about his WW2 experiences is one of the only times I've ever laughed out loud while reading.

[@vintagepairdisplayteam910]

Cap, you need to use your prop more. Setting a lower RPM increases speed. Don’t go silly, but 2,400rpm is faster than 2,700rpm as the prop blades angle to take a bigger ‘bite’ of air each rotation, a deeper helix per turn.

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@aerotorc]

I just want to say, the title on the thumbnail is the best I’ve seen of any video this year. Never stop being you, Grim Reapers! 😂

Geez, teach your guys on basic stall recovery and also I think getting the tail up, on take off, when aerodynamically possible, for better directional control.

Is there a reason no one seems to be using "flaps" for takeoff?

[@BCSchmerker]

+GrimReapersAtomic *This Mission is a shoe-in for the Alternate History Campaign playlist!* Only I noticed that Brit types are on both sides; Minnie and Henry should have been assigned at least one of the Douglas A-26E, Lockheed P-38J, and North American B-25G. Moriarity could also have flown the de Havilland Mosquito, which the Brits used in the night-interceptor role.

[@badyeti9089]

Why are the Mosquitoes so hard to take off and why are they always smoking?

[@grimreapers]

Think smoke is bug. REALLY hard to keep her straight on runway.

[@Hichatsu]

You probably get this question a lot, but is that high oil pressure problems with Mossie's left engine? or is it a bug?

bug pretty sure

Why are the mosquitos so low in this vid? Perhaps they are running the older engines? They should be able to run away from the 109s!

[@cubethai]

The amount of people mumbling about the red tails is ridiculous

[@JAEUFM]

If I could hack DCS, I would put in an option to put counter rotating props on all the warbirds, might make take offs a bit more manageable without having to fight the torque during the run down the runway.

[@timcoles7007]

They do have a "takeoff assist" option/cheat already.

[@aztec0112]

Problem (I think) is that too many people are yanking the planes off the ground instead of letting them fly off themselves. They let the tail come up but pull back too soon. The plane has enough momentum to get momentarily airborne, but without enough lift to counter the engine torque. I'm a terrible warbird pilot and I make this mistake all the time!

[@JAEUFM]

@@timcoles7007 Point taken. Counter rotating props would still look cool though.

would only help the mossie really....even still, shes more than flyable on a single, just keep it about +10 kts faster for all aspects and expect to climb/turn like crap

[@DiesOnAToilet]

Always been fascinated by the hypothetical of how the war would have gone if Germany attacked only radar installations, airfields and then naval targets. I think they would have won the BoB, gaining near complete air superiority and successfully invaded Britain. I don't think it would have changed the outcome of tie war, and neither would taking Moscow have won them the war, but it likely would have extended it by a couple of years, and would almost certainly have gone on long enough to see atomic bombs used against the Germans, which was the original presumption of the designers about how the weapons would most likely be used.

[@dirkdigler5332]

The "Red Tails" represent the African American squadron which served in the US Army Airdrop during WWII. They stared with P47s and eventually flew P-51's. They did considerable B-17 escort missions and saved a considerable number of bomber crews from the Luftwaffe.
