Take a look at the short combat history of the YB-40 escort fighter variant of the B-17, from Airailimages: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJSzoIWGp7Fgqq8

I watched that one first

I subscribed and began watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. They are excellent! Mr. Johnson you do a great job of selecting and covering very interesting subject material. You hit two of my biggest interests, planes and trains. Thank you very much!

[@airailimages]

Thanks for commenting, and thanks for subscribing. Yes -- we noticed years ago there is an intersection of interest between train enthusiasts and aviation enthusiasts, and we are happy to be in the middle of that intersection!

My uncle Howard was one of the men in the videos, he told me long ago about several of these accidents. He was very proud of that carrier

[@martinpennock9430]

Great video! Scary stuff. People think every landing on a carrier is a good one. Sadly, not the case, especially in combat situations. Hopefully all those in the video escaped serious injury. As always God bless you and yours and thanks again for all you do! 👍🇺🇸

[@airailimages]

I think it is interesting that the F8F Bearcat seems to have a pretty stout structure to keep the cockpit intact in a rollover. Hey, thanks as always for watching and commenting.

Thankyou for this compilation of landing and launching accidents on the u.s.s Philippine Sea !

[@airailimages]

You are welcome!

[@spliceoncharlie]

Thanks for the video. I know its slow motion of older slower aircraft but that can be very deceiving for the dangers of carrier landings. Not easy landing on a moving runway.

[@airailimages]

You are always welcome!

That AD shedding it's engine is insane! The pilot clearly had his "exit strategy" well in mind on touchdown. I am OUTTA here people.

[@thotpatroll5729]

How the hell does that even happen?

[@scottfw7169]

@@thotpatroll5729 Have seen that the aircraft had been damaged during strikes in Korea.

As a German in the Philippines, I am deeply impressed from your Channel. Carry On, so that your Channel can Growth. Greetings.

Thank you very much.

Great old pictures

[@airailimages]

Thanks for watching!

[@giljeep]

films impressionnants, surtout le "Sky" avec le moteur en feu!!!!! merci pour la vidéo

[@airailimages]

Vous êtes toujours la bienvenue! C'est très satisfaisant de retrouver ces films et de les partager sur la Chaîne Airailimages.

[@ChiefAUS]

I like that you keep digging these old films out. Keep them coming! Thanks

[@airailimages]

Thanks, will do!

F4U seemed like more designed as ground based aircraft than a deck operated type? Amazing that F9F was floating so long too after the launch crash into sea. And incredible there was a helicopter operating already off that deck back in 1950 to rescue the pilot ?!? respects

[@airailimages]

Early on, Corsairs had some issues on carrier decks, and first entered combat from land bases in the Pacific in WW2. Later this was reconciled with some adjustments to the landing gear, and later in WW2 and postwar years, F4Us were regularly seen on carriers. Thanks for watching!

[@thotpatroll5729]

@@airailimages Don't forget approach angles changed for Corsairs on carrier landings.

[@thotpatroll5729]

If you ever get a chance watch all or parts of (both are on youtube) the old movie Bridge at Toko-Ri. Its a Korean War action-drama movie with William Holden flying F9Fs and Mickey Rooney flying Sikorsky HO3-S1 helicopters from an Essex carrier. Plenty of real footage from deck operations and combat missions is used and you get a good look at how the early helicopters were used during carrier ops.

[@robbyowen9107]

Great video as always, thank you!!

[@airailimages]

You are welcome -- more from the archives to come...

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I can’t believe that no thought of the angled flight deck sooner.

[@49BigPoppa]

I’m guessing Grumman had a steady supply stream of F8F outer wing panels headed to the carriers

Looks like the F8F's were a real 'bear' to land.Those pilots had some cajones!

My uncle served on CV-47...1949-53

[@airailimages]

Thanks for watching, and adding a bit of family history. Always good to hear from the families of veterans.

@ 7'44" How did that F9F come to a stop with the hook up?
