U.S.A.F. 13th B.S. B-57B "Canberra" Air Strikes - Vietnam 1967 (Restored)

U.S.A.F. 13th B.S. B-57B "Canberra" Air Strikes - Vietnam 1967 (Restored)
The Martin B-57 was the American license built version of the British English Electric "Canberra." It was produce in several variants. The B-57B version was the most widely used "tactical" aircraft. This film shows planes from the U.S.A.F. 13th B.S. performing missions in Vietnam in the summer- fall of 1967. At that time the Squadron was operating out of Da Nang Air Base. Parts of the surviving film are very dark with significant color shifts. I was able to restore them using digital technology. The original film is silent. I added sound effects.

Like that tandem cockpit in the B-57.

[@Nighthawke70]

Then Col. Chuck Yeager flew B-57 missions in the Nam for awhile. his eyesight got him more than a few shacks with debris blowing out the other end of a tunnel he hit on the other side of the same hill. He also trained bomber pilots there as well.

[@laurentj7998]

Yeager has lived his whole life as an Adventure 😎🤙

[@user-nn6fy5gt8u]

The B-57B was a fine tactical bomber, but it wasn't intended to strafe targets. That was the A-4 Skyhawk's job.

[@laurentj7998]

Like military planes with Vietnam camo .

[@50buttfish]

The early version of A-10 Warthog, only with BOMBS!

[@andrewhunter180]

You must not know a lot if you think a B57 is the early version of the A10

[@ZenosWarbirds]

It was a joke son.😉

[@localbod]

As far as I'm aware, the Canberra was one of only two foreign combat aircraft types to be used by the United States.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

That can't be correct. The Spitfire and Mosquito were both flown by American forces in WW2.

[@localbod]

@@well-blazeredman6187 Yes, however the Harrier and Canberra were both manufactured on license and became part of the U.S. inventory. The Spitfire and Mosquito were only used in the ETO and they weren't based stateside.

[@andrewwmacfadyen6958]

Also Beaufighter

[@andrewwmacfadyen6958]

​@@localbod Harrier production was joint, the Harrier II was a much higher percentage US.

[@TeargasHorse]

Was the license built Canberra the only non-US combat aircraft to fly for the US? And yes, the Merlin engine was license built....oh yeah, the Harrier!! Any more?

[@ZenosWarbirds]

I’m not sure what your point is. If you spend some time on my channel, you’ll find that none of that is news to me. As a matter of fact, I uploaded a Harrier video recently. Have a nice day😊

[@well-blazeredman6187]

The US received some British aircraft in WW2. I can recall seeing Spitfires and Mosquitos in US colours. PR variants, I think.

[@ZenosWarbirds]

That’s correct.I think the Mosquitoes were from Canada. From the USA Britain received & operated B-17s, B-24, B-25s, B-26s A-20s, A-29s, Marin Marylands, Lockheed Venturas, P51s, F6Fs, F4Us & TBF Avengers. 👍

[@FPilotBierce]

When the AEF went to France in the First World War, all their airplanes were British or French. Most of the fighter squadrons had SPADs or Nieuport 28s, plus there was one squadron with SE5As and another with Sopwith Camels. The American bomber squadrons had DH4s (some built under license in the States with Liberty engines) or SPAD 11s (like Billy Mitchell's one in the Smithsonian collection) or Salmsons.

[@ZenosWarbirds]

The American aircraft most produced & used by Britain & the U.S. in WW1 were variants of Curtiss seaplane long range flying boats for anti submarine & reconnaissance duties and the Curtiss “Jenny” JN-4 trainer.

[@lightbox617]

t The most interesting thing that the US did with the Camberra was triple it's wing span, hyper pressurize the cockpit an send it out a recon at 60,000 plus feet.

[@SteveGillow]

I used to work with a gentleman who was a navigator on the big wing during Vietnam. Told stories about getting flown back to the States for be fitted for his pumpkin suit and how the pilot let him take the stick for a bit, but he ended up in a shallow dive that over-speeded it. Apparently its coffin corner was only little bit more forgiving than the U-2.

[@mytmousemalibu]

I have a patch for the WB-57 Long Wing given to me by a WB crewman.

[@andrewhunter180]

British flue them over the USSR in 1953

[@khb6686]

My dad was the back seat radio intercept crewman in that model for years.

[@nonnobissolum]

What is going on in the general vicinity of 9 minutes 15 seconds? Perfect white Ark transiting across the mountain top? Too short and inaccurate to be a guided-missile I would think I must have failed, and hard time believing that something represented a secondary explosion them that aren't so perfectly along the flight path over the top and down the other side? Excuse any voice to text errors. I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm saying.

[@Phill87Cro]

Napalm container bounced back in the air?
