Lt Colonel Allison Brooks was my grandfather. He was a B17 pilot in the 401st, before he was transferred to the mustang. He was piloting the lead bomber this day and would tell me about this day and Howard's flying many times throughout my childhood. He even had a painting with his bomber and Howard's P51 and a flaming 109 from this mission hanging in his study. I just stumbled on this post. My grandpa was my hero growing up. He piloted many planes, the B17, P51, A1 Skyraider and the C130, among others. He always said his favorite to fly was the P51. He retired from the Air Force with 2 stars.

"An attack by a single fighter on four or five times his own number wasn't uncommon," wrote a fellow World War II fighter pilot in his postwar memoirs of Howard's performance, "but a deliberate attack by a single fighter against thirty-plus enemy fighters without tactical advantage of height or surprise is rare almost to the point of extinction." Howard was also the only fighter pilot Medal of Honor recipient in the European Theater. He was also a very capable P-40 pilot (6) with the American Volunteer Group, or more famously known as the Flying Tigers in the Burma campaign.

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

Pacific Theater saw Howard's Flying Tiger squadmate Greg "Pappy" Boyington carve a path of destruction against the Japanese Air force and Navy fighters with VMF-214 earning him the Medal of Honor as well. I think there was another former Tiger who also got the MoH as well. Or it could have just been Howard and Boyington?

For everyone asking about the Japanese kill marks on his aircraft, Major (later General) Howard originally was US Navy until Pearl Harbor. He left the Navy to join the American Volunteer Group, famously better known as the Flying Tigers over Burma, and got 6 confirmed kills there. When AVG disbanded, he joined the USAAF, commissioned as a Captain then later to Major. It's also said that he is the only USAAF fighter pilot to have been awarded toe MoH in the European Theater. He later would go on to help coordinate the air cover for the D-Day landings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_H._Howard

I've been watching Yarnhub for years and I can say that the improvement on every video is totally magnificent. Just look at that realistic crew of the B-17 and the dogfights. It's such a beautiful video.

When the rest of your team is chasing kills and you're the only one playing the objective.

This absolute hero Passed away the day I was born. But don’t worry I will have a party for 2 on the next one. Man deserves a little celebration!

Incredible animation that just keeps on getting better every video!!! Would love to see how you guys would tackle the stories of the Fortress Island aka Malta GC, which during WW2 became the most bombed place on Earth in April of 1942. The heroics of the islands defenders and those who supplied the besieged island are legendary. Keep up the amazing work, Yarnhub!! A small footnote to the Ye Olde Pub vids you've done as well, all going well, by the end of this year there will be a 1/48 scale depiction of Franz Stiglers BF109-G6 escorting the Ye Olde Pub on display permanently at the karting club which is built on the site of the former Kimbolton airfield.

As always, excellent job telling and illustrating the story of this hero from the greatest generation. My grandpa flew B-17s with the 8th Air Force and in his last days told us grandkids of his experiences during the war and always spoke highly and affectionately of all the fighter escorts but especially the P51s.

[@jessiesheriff2117]

The way you tell these stories has always been exceptional and now the animation! I look forward to every upload. Wishing you and your team a happy and successful new year. Give the cats a few pets for me🐈

I heard in an interview from a veteran that the B-17 service cruise did not wear their service hats, but they wore those leather caps.

I have been following your work for almost 3 years and the improvement in animation quality is simply impressive. The way of storytelling and the sync between the scenes and the background music has always been sooo gripping. I often have listened back to specific parts because the syncronization of music, animation a script was amazing. Of course there are still things you can improve (for example, there is a flaw in the part beginning at 3:37; the P-51's propeller stops while the plane is hurtling down. To be honest, it is very easy to spot, I have managed to recognize it instantly, so actually i can hardly understand how it has been unnoticed). Correcting these little errors will make your animations much more professional. Keep up the good work!

[@billtukana5916]

With such quality top-class animations who need Hollywood? Many thanks guys much appreciated.

[@Intremental]

3:40 the p-51 propeller isn’t spinning I’m pretty sure but so far the animation is stunning and you have improved a lot!

[@KarkorkirKer101]

It is spinning, it was just too fast.

[@davidnemoseck9007]

Man, that guy was awesome! Thanks for sharing his story.
