It’s often forgotten that the Commonwealth countries were under Australian command in the Korean War, just as they were in the Occupation of Japan.

A superb production. Very informative and a fitting tribute to all of the personnel involved.

Thankyou for that. I once had a conversation with a former 77RAAF pilot, it would have been in the 1980s. He told me that the pilots used to sing “All I want for Xmas is my wings swept back” in parody of a popular ‘50s song “All I want for Xmas is my 2 front teeth”. Thankyou for that video. Very informative.

Koreans acknowledges and eternally thankful to all Australian arm forces that held communists back in 50s. We hope our next generation will continue to be victorious over communists from North Korea, China and Russia. May God bless and keep Australia safe forever!

A truly excellent production, well done. Please keep making these, I'm sure sooner or later you'll start to get the audience numbers you deserve!

It's unfortunate that I can only hit the like button once, I'd give this many more if I could. Brilliant stuff, many thanks. Video had 77 likes when I found it, almost seemed fitting to leave it that way but had to add another.

Thanks so much - as you can imagine there is a lot of work that goes into these videos so really love it that there is appreciation for what we do. We have many naysayers who can only see the minor faults and love to shout about them, so really appreciate the positive comments!

Thanks Brian - I'd have thought that this video would have done better - it took a lot to produce this doco. But, for whatever reason, a story about an F-111 wing-pivot crack is 10X more interesting to viewers than the history of 77SQN in Korea. I've a lot more of these deeper dives into campaigns that I'd like to do, but given how much time they take and the apparent lack of interest, I hesitate to make the commitment.

@@raafdocumentaries Keep loading these videos under more headings and it will soon strike. Sometimes, these videos dont get the presentation up front that they deserve. This was an excellent piece of work, and I am sure that with vivibility, it will be a hit. Maybe just leave the "documentry" out of the heading. Keep up the excellent work. Loved it!

@@raafdocumentaries Check around and look at some other successful videos that are similar...and check what the key words are with them ..this will be what the people are searching for. Its all about just finding the interest groups and what they look for. Documentary just puts many off thinking its something they have seen before. I have seen some of this before..but not coalated so well, if at all. Good luck, bro!

Could you also do some clips about 36 transport squadron as I know they also flew in Korea as I have some photos of my uncle Reg Burr with the pilots of 77

We will get there - there are so many stories to tell! If we can get this channel to a place where we can do it full time, then we will be able to cover a lot more. Thanks for sharing our channel with others!

My father flew with the '77' for the first year of the war, starting with that very first sortie. He knew Lou Spence very well. I keep expecting to see him in the newsreels.

Just wanna say that you're not only knowledgeable but also a very captivating narrator (pretty uncommon in military/defense history YT). ur an instant sub!

The first minute of this video taught me a lot. For some reason, I never learned that Korea was split between the USSR and US after WWII, and always assumed the North just developed different political views, somewhat as with Vietnam. The start of the war makes far more sense now, especially as to why the UN got involved.
