UPありがとうございます。 坂井三郎氏の空戦記録がビジュアルに再現されていてすばらしい作品だと思います。 Thank you for your uploading. I think this is a wonderful work reproduced Mr. Saburo Sakai's air combat record visually. 人の人生は様々であって、いろいろな角度から見ると良くも悪くも映りますが、 それはそれでいいのではないかと考えます。 故人のご冥福を祈ります。
It really surprised me that the WW2 fighter plane called the, Buffalo was such a real bad failure in combat. Plus it also hurt me to learn that the beautifully design looking WW2 fighter plane called, the Cobra had such performance problems and could not measure up to fighter planes of the times.

True, the air cobra was not the greatest fighter but it was very effective for ground support. The P-38 , Corsair, and 6-F-6 Hellcat were a superior match against the Zero. Rabaul was neutralized from successive bombing raids and spared from invasion as it no longer had strategic value.

The Buffalo was an excellent fighter for its time. The early models F2A-1 and F2A-2 gave a high speed for their limited horsepower, had a fast rate of climb, and were extremely agile. But the Buffalo wasn’t designed to carry the additional weight of self sealing fuel tanks, extra wing fuel tanks, armour plate, armoured windscreen, 4 .50 cal machine guns instead of 2, a dinghy, a second radio, and other equipment, all of which turned a light, well-balanced 5,000 lb fighter into an overloaded 7,000+ lb one. So a great fighter of the late 1930’s was turned into a very poor fighter of the early 1940’s, by the unrealistically high requirements of its own users (except for the Finns, who got early models without all the extra stuff). The P-39 Airacobra was designed as a turbo-supercharged high-altitude bomber interceptor, but was pressed into service as an ordinary single supercharged low altitude dogfighter and fighter/bomber. Without the turbo, the P-39 could not accomplish the 400 mph top speed it was originally designed for, and was terrible at high altitude. Still, it did remarkably well on the Eastern Front, where nearly all the fighting was at low altitude.

I had wondered why the Finns did so well with Buffalos while everyone else who used them fared so poorly. So by adding all that armor and other things that were supposed to ensure that the pilots would survive, they made the planes slow and awkward, and in fact ensured that they wouldn't.
@timonsolus6 жыл бұрын
Sean Bryan: Exactly. Even if the armour and self-sealing fuel tanks helped to ensure that the pilot survived being shot down to bale out, the best way for a fighter pilot to survive is to not get shot down at all. To do that, he has to be able to win the dogfight he’s in. A lighter, more agile fighter helps him do that. Don’t get me wrong, the extra equipment is great, but the plane has to be large enough to carry it, and have a more powerful engine to pull its higher weight along at a higher speed than before.
Nice animation, but I'll say it again: showing the Japanese pilots winning, winning, winning does them no favors. These heroic videos shame the real heroes, the Japanese pilots themselves. Those Japanese pilots fought heroically day after day, bravely undertaking missions that their officers knew were almost hopeless. In 1942, nearly all of the pilots and nearly all of the aircraft were lost to superior equipment, tactics, and doctrine. (Not to mention the distance from Rabaul to the fighting in 1942.) Air groups being moved in from the carriers left the carriers with no planes, because to fly out of Rabaul was a death sentence. Saburo Sakai has been a hero of mine since I read his book, Zero Pilot, at the age of twelve. I still read about this period in history. The more I read, the more I respect the Japanese airmen, and sailors, who fought with such honor and bravery in a cause that was destined to fail from the beginning.

I'm pretty sure this is showing actual events in early 1942 (Showa 17 in the Japanese calendar) from the recollections of Saburo Sakai. one of the few Japanese fighter aces to survive the war, due to serious wounds suffered over Guadalcanal that kept him out of most combat. Brewster Buffalos and P-400s were no match for Japanese A6M Zeros, especially not when piloted by the superbly trained, experienced Japanese pilots of that time. They were sweeping everything before them, but due to how long their system took to train pilots, and the fact that they didn't rotate experienced pilots back to train others, every pilot lost, such as the one shown in the video, were irreplaceable. Eventually they were undone by attrition and the fact that the US was feeding a steady stream of reasonably well trained pilots, in ever better aircraft, into the war. In the second half of 1942 the battle was fairly even. By 1943 the advantage shifted decisively to the Allies, and by 1944 you got wildly disproportionate loss ratios such as The Battle of the Philippine Sea (a.k.a. The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot)

Your data is basically correct ! How then was the P-40 , when piloted by Chenault's Flying Tigers so successful against the superior A6M Zero ? And they were succesful . They used sensible , logical tactics !
@thunderpuppy67193 жыл бұрын
@@hotrodford4274 My uncle flew 100 missions in the Pacific. He flew a P-40 early on, and a P-47 for the remainder of the war. He told me he was very happy to finally climb into the P-47. As you said, tactics kept P-40 pilots alive.
Thank you it's in my country Papua New guinea town of Rabaul. Thanks but actually it's a bad history.

Glorifying something that ended badly is not a positive model for young people. The USA and Australia eventually killed all of Japan’s experienced pilots and cut off Rabaul from resupply and left its garrison to starve. After the war, many of the surviving 69,000 soldiers weren’t returned to Japan until late 1947. They were just abandoned. Don’t inspire dreams of glory. Show the reality of war.
