It is amazing that the Fins were able to get excellent performance out of aircraft that the major powers considered obsolete or underpowered.

@craigpennington1251 Ай бұрын

They had a thing that was Make do with what you have or die. And like the Polish air arm of the RAF, accomplished amazing stats.

@EastBayFlipper Ай бұрын

The British used a plane so slow, it defeated the AA batteries because they couldn't lead it for hits and the Fairly Swordfish dropped its tin fish and disabled the Bismarck 😏👍 Obsolete doesn't matter with skill.

@Dave5843-d9m Ай бұрын

Swordfish did the jobs we now do with helicopters. It was a heavy lift STOL. The only machine then capable of operating from carrier decks heaving over Atlantic ocean swells.

There is a degree of BS in all of it. Highly unlikely that he shot down 94 Soviet aircraft, though he may have believed he did. Usually, claims in air combat have to be correlated with admitted losses by the other side.

I've never heard the Brewster Buffalo spoken of in such terms. 'Sleek?' It was as sleek as a barrel.

@deguello66 Ай бұрын

@DavidBritton-nl1wv the Finnish "de-navalized" it. By dropping all the weight of the tail hook, the water survival gear, and everything else NOT needed for strictly over land flying, it became a real good performer! Even downing a Spitfire flown by a Russian pilot! A "barrel" downing "The angel of the British skys"?! You cannot deny both the plane and the pilot skills that brought that about!!

@DavidBritton-nl1wv Ай бұрын

@@deguello66 Nor would I want to. I've seen odd mentions of the Finns doing well with it, this the first time I've watched anything about it specifically. It's just a little strange after the way I've heard it spoken of in Pacific war documentaries, almost treated like a joke going up against Zeros and others. I didn't know one ever downed a spitfire! All respect. I stand by my 'sleek as a barrel' comment though.

@deguello66 Ай бұрын

@DavidBritton-nl1wv I admit, it was a "dumpy" looking plane. Just a little work and it turned into enough of a performer. Perhaps it could have been it's poor performance in the Pacific that led to opposition overconfidence? In it's own right that could do enough to sway into Buffaloes favor. I don't really know the aerodynamics envelope of the de-navalized Buffalo. Obviously anytime you can remove weight from an aircraft, and it still be sound, that's a good thing. Removing the tail hook might have given it better turn performance? Less tail weight could have meant less chance of a stall in a turn since the tail isn't thrown by inertial forces? You increase maneuverability, you increase lethality in a dog fight. It's slow speeds combined with tighter turning, just think of the possibilities? You whip your guns around on a speedy enemy, that they still cannot outrun bullets, down the enemy goes! There is only one Buffalo fighter left in the world. Housed in a Finnish museum. Apparently revered by the Finns as a capable war fighter to warrant its preservation. One man's garbage is another man's treasure?...

@Soundbrigade Ай бұрын

Never seen a sleek barrel? Sweden had a “Flying Barrel”, a very capable jetfighter back in the 50’s. That one was …. Sleek.

@patrickporter1864 Ай бұрын

The Finnish buffalo was not the same plane the British and the yanks flew. It was much lighter as the Finns stripped everything unnessary to fighting out of it. They had better trained pilots too. The yanks and the English considered Pearl and Singapore a holiday resort. Training was rudimentary. Racism prevailed.

The Fokker D21 not bothering to build more than 200+? There was that minor issue of the Netherlands being invaded. The aircraft was in fact a quantum leap for dutch aviation and Had considerable foreign interest. The maligned Brewster was also free of the performance killing armor, naval survival gear that crippled USN service. Pappy Boyington wrote about this and described The early version ‘ a sweetheart to fly.’

@DownUnderBlunders Ай бұрын

Why is it, with so many planes designed during this time, did they not think to specify that all test planes must carry 2000kg of inert ballast, to allow for the onslaught of equipment and armour everyone knew was to follow?

@secretagent86 Ай бұрын

Very good video. I am conflicted about this conflict. First of all, Brewster Buffaloes in Finland? Wow, the power of American exports! Superb pilot! I had never heard of him. Of course Russia invading Finland was terrible, so i am glad that they had to end that part of the war. Overall I support the Russian people fighting Germany’s invasion of Russia. Now if only today Russia would quit invading the Ukraine. Over the course of history it is remarkable how alliances switch. Eg. England/France…Italy/Germany…USA/Japan plus too many more to mention.

I would say that when it comes to the Finns we have a different relationship based on both love (we tried to support them during their war with the commies) but also respect because they are and they have much what we Swedes lack - independence, stamina, pride and that thing they call SISU - the thing they show when winning whatever competition they are in and learning how they under-manned and under-armed fought back the rotten Russians is a good sign of that SISU.
