I've seen and heard many aircraft and most people would say they love the sound of a fighter jet engine (I agree), but that roar of a V12 in a P51 sure sounds super sweet to me. Most people go to air shows for the fighter jets but the P51s and Spitfires are so special.

@16:13 If you're interested, your engine probably cut out because when you're inverted for more that approx 10 sec, the oil pressure drops because it relies on gravity. Historically, pilots were told to keep their inverted manoeuvres to less than 10 sec to avoid cutout.

[@bronco5334]

You should be able to hold 50 MAP until the tanks run dry. It's the coolant temp that gets you. Also, DCS needs to fix their shit: the Merlin burns out way too easily, and the DB605D on the Bf109K4 dies way, WAY too infrequently. The K4 is running a powerplant that has been overboosted way past it's design capabilities, and was made by a struggling German industry that could not maintain proper quality control. Pilot memoirs indicate the K4 would burn out engines in 3-4 hours even if used exclusively in cruise power; the memoirs indicate most pilots went out of their way to NEVER use the MW50 boost, because it had such a high chance of blowing the engine

My grandfather was a P-51D pilot in the Philippine Air Force in the 50s (6th Cobras Squadron). Earlier this week my mother and I were scanning some of his black and white photos from those days so we have a backup in case those old photos physically degrade too much. Loved hearing stories about him flying as a kid. This made me feel a bit wistful and nostalgic, especially since he passed away earlier last year at the age of 91.

[@Kargaron]

Erich Hartmann, the top Ace of the german Luftwaffe with 352 air kills scored most of his kills at ranges of around 60 feet or even less. Never got shot down but lost 16 airplanes due to engine failure and enemy airplane parts hitting his own. Guys pulled off some crazy sh*t back then.

[@theguylivinginyourwalls]

Imagine being one of those young guys, freshly deployed to a combat zone, say, in the Pacific theater. You're excited to serve your country, burning the skies with steel wings and fifty caliber teeth. You, however, have zero actual combat experience, and it makes you a little nervous. But hey, you've got some guys to watch your back. One of them is even an ace! He's got some cool stories, you bet. You've quickly become familiar with the area due to the patrols you've been on, but a little part of you wonders "when am I gonna see some real action?". One evening, the siren goes off. It's a raid, and you and your fellow pilots have to get up there, _now._ You clamber into the cockpit and get airborne, when you see them. The Red Sun has risen. _And it's coming straight for you._ You make a mistake, just a _tiny_ miscalculation, and they're on your tail. You weave, dive, spin, preforming all the moves you know, but they're faster than you. Those planes act like they don't follow the same rules as yours, and you can't shake them. Then they open fire, having finally gotten an opening. Rounds begin to impact your fuselage, and your wings gradually begin to more closely resemble colanders. One round nearly clips you, tearing your uniform's left shoulder and making a neat hole in the dashboard, blowing out one of your gauges. Whatever it could've told you, it won't say anything anymore. Then they decide to give you a short burst of their 20mm cannons. The holes in your plane grow larger. Then you hear a horrible *BOOM,* and you start spiraling downward. _They've blown you're entire tail off._ You still have some altitude, so you open your busted canopy, and as soon as you get ready to jump, you are thrown by the spinning motion. Now _you're_ spinning, dizzy, and freezing from the rush of cold air. You spread you arms, trying to stabilize yourself, and you pull your cord. Then your plane explodes. You don't remember much after that, because in all this excitement, you fainted. Luckily, it seems fate was smiling at you, and you've made a soft (if inelegant) landing in a little field not to far from you're base. It's after midnight when you finally wake up. Seems no one though you'd made it. You consider it a blessing, and you make the walk back to the airfield. You're comrades are shocked to see that the rookie is still alive, and get you checked by the medical staff. You are miraculously unharmed aside from a few bumps and bruises. You head back to the barracks, to try and get some sleep, and just before you hop into your bunk, you hear the voice of your commander. "Bet you won't make _that_ mistake again, huh?" At lunch time, a few days later, the siren goes off again. But this time, you're ready. You claim three kills, that day. Before the end of the war, the enemy knows your name. _They_ fear _you_ now.

Thanks for a fun video, Mover -- but it's eerily quiet. I grew up in a house adjacent to a very busy small aircraft airport, and we soon became deaf to the sound of frequent touch-and-gos -- except when the guy who hangared his Mustang there was taking off. Turned heads faster even than the occasional Learjet, and he liked to showcase a maximum takeoff angle. The only competition he had in the noise dept was the (CA ANG) SA-16 Sea Albatrosses -- they could rattle window panes from a half mile away!

[@abdulmismail]

Hey Mover. I have the exact same problem with stability during a bank with the P-51D. I haven't quite figured out why because my airspeed should be sufficient not to stall and my bank angle is relatively shallow - but then, suddenly, I go in to an uncontrolled dive which takes a while to recover - but long enough to end up with a bandit on my six. Although a Brit, I lived in Wyoming in the 1990s and saw the Confederate Air Force come to Natrona County Airport while I was taking flying lessons. At the same time, a private Canadian pilot flew in with his P-51D Mustang. He told me it costs $1M to fly and maintain every year. So, if I survive to the ripe old age of 65; that would mean I'd need $17M; $2M for the Mustang and $15M for operational costs.

[@buzbuz33-99]

My Dad flew B-29s in the war. On one mission, a P-51 tucked in for the ride home. His aircraft commander did not like how close the P-51 was getting, and since they mission in radio silence, he communicated his displeasure by having everyone train their guns on him. The pilot apparently got the hint because he backed off to a safe distance.

[@MajFAIP]

Lol wrong neighbourhood meme. What theatre?

[@buzbuz33-99]

Pacific. The B-29s were stationed on Tinian, the P51s on Iwo Jima. Those flights were a real challenge for P-51 pilots. Unlike Navy pilots, they were not used to long flights over water. On one mission a B-29 was assigned to lead a flight of P-51s to Tokyo. But when they hit bad weather, the P-51 scattered and many were lost. You any relation to the Korean jet ace?

That's so cool to see B-17s in DCS! There is a Facebook group called Rebuild The Liberty Belle B-17 that I follow. There was a previous Liberty Belle B-17 that flew across the U.S., in which my mom took a ride. My grandfather was awarded the DFC for bringing the original Liberty Belle home from Dusseldorf on September 9th, 1944. According to the story, they were the last to limp home on one engine after some flak hit a different B-17G in the squadron, detonating their payload and destroying or damaging several others.

Mover, the P-51 snap rolls when you are heavy on the stick, you need to be light no matter how fast. Also you want to keep the throttle within 50% - 80% ( combat ) when continuous flight anything above will burn out the engine when used for extended periods.

[@spazmodicusrex6629]

@C.W. Lemoine In the beginning of the video, I noticed you're running rather high power settings. Keeping the settings a bit lower should still allow the plane to build energy for appropriate cruise/escort speed and leave you with plenty of extra horsepower in reserve. Ideally, keeping the gauges that have a "green band" marked on the dials (Manifold Pressure and RPM) at, or around, upper range of the green should be quite adequate for pre-combat purposes. Also, piston engines are a lot more forgiving than post-WW2 jets but, smooth throttle work and avoiding "throttle slams" is still kind of important. Far be it for a non-professional like me to give advice but, if you find anything I said to be valuable, I'm glad I could help.

Max continuous for P-51, 46 In Manifold pressure and 2700 RPM. Usually above 13K your supercharger will engage too and radically increase available boost into the engine. So if you were gunning it high up, you ll toast your engine inside of three minutes.

[@LucaZ283]

Dear Mover, I’ve always had this question in my mind but could never find a pilot with enough experience in both worlds to give me a satisfactory answer. The question is quite simple (and probably naive): why do airliners have so many instruments in the cockpit to aviate, navigate and communicate, while fighters do these same tasks with just a portion of a physically smaller cockpit space dedicated to such functions? Thank you very much and thanks for the awesome videos and book. Max

[@medea27]

Essentially they are designed for completely different tasks. A fighter jet needs less instruments because it is a weapons platform... it needs to fly 1-2 people at incredibly high speeds, with max manoeuvrability, get the pilots to where they need to be to perform their tasks (firepower, surveillance, show of force, etc). It also has a lot of computer-controlled systems which reduce the task load for the pilot. But a fighter pilot also has an 'out' if something goes wrong - ejection. An airliner is a transporter... it needs to take people & cargo from A to B with the best cost efficiency. But it also has no 'out' in case of emergency. This means they have many more safety systems that monitor everything on the plane, enabling the pilots to troubleshoot almost anything in the air to ensure they can get the people & cargo safely back on the ground. A fighter pilot just doesn't have the time, so if they can't limp back to base they eject. So all large passenger & cargo aircraft have a lot more instruments to monitor the status of individual systems - for example, a 747 with 4 engines will have a set of instruments per engine (so 4 x engine RPM dials, 4 x engine pressure dials, 4 x engine ignition switches, 8 x fire extinguisher switches because there are two bottles per engine, etc). You also have controls & monitoring related to passengers & cargo (cabin pressure, air-conditioning, fire alarms, cabin-to-cockpit comms, etc). And of course, two pilots means critical instruments like altitude & speed are duplicated to enable you to fly from either the captain's or the 1st officer's seat. If you look at the instrument panel of a big military cargo plane like a C-130 you'll notice there's a lot more instruments there too... same applies. This is a very basic explanation but hope it helps! ✈

If i remember my airplane nerd history right, you should fly a bit above the to have a bit of energy to sweep down on any attacking aircraft, also the older fighter didn't have fuel injection, but so you couldn't fly upside down with them because... well *that* would happen.

[@Cramblit]

Generally the escort fighters would come in several hundred feet above the bombers, do a general pass in front to show the bombers they are there (since there was no radio communication between the escorts and bombers), and then orbit the bomber group again several hundred feet above them keeping several miles away. (Depending on the mission, location, time of day etc.). This way when German 109's came in, the P-51's could jump them from above from the sun, and they wouldn't be able to be spotted, but the P-51's could spot the 109's, especially when they started to shoot. There was actually specific protocols in escorting B-17's, and what enemy targets you could and couldn't engage because of the dangers of friendly fire, cross fire, and being mistaken for an enemy yourself. If a 109 was in a gun run, you had to let him be and wait until he pulled away then jump on him. Generally 109's who got through the curtain (past the escorts), were left alone and the bombers would have to defend themselves while the fighters engaged and stopped the other groups from getting to the bombers.

Suppose a fighter pilot is travelling in an domestic commercial flight. And the captain and first officer both of them are dead in mid air due to some medical issues. Then is it possible for that fighter pilot to land that commercial airbus 320 neo with the help of atc and cabin crew. Just an SRT.

It's possible for a civilian to land it with atc help, let alone someone with flight experience

Midway, haven't seen the movie but just read "Air Group Commander Wade McClusky and the battle of Midway" He was a superb tactician

Mover. I think you need to go back to the Hornet. The Supercarrier module has been released and it's amazing
