My Dad in WW2 flew C-47 and took part in Dday and dropped para troopers and towed Wacos into Normandy, He was a Lt. in the 9th USAAF. I am a 77 yr old Vet my self by from a far different war.
Thank you and your dad for your services. 💜
Thank you for your service
gliders...Brilliant! Jingles Landings mandatory!
Would love a campaign in a horsa glider say Pegasus Bridge (operation dead stick) or Market Garden would be so cool
My utmost respect to the guys who did this for real, they were by far the ballsiest and maddest lads of them all! As an experienced glider pilot myself IRL, I can't even imagine myself being able to attempt this. They would've had to drag me into the cockpit and strap me down like a mental patient.
Gliders and their airborne troops played a vital but sadly very underappreciated part in the D-Day. Glad to see them getting love!!
Many missed their drop zone. Elsewhere, the krauts had flooded large areas in anticipation of airborne assault.
Fantastic mission. Full respect to the people who landed in Normandy on D-Day. It seems to me that marking discharge areas is a more complicated matter, and it probably was.
I wonder if Horsa Glider and maps for Operation Market-Garden will ever appear. I'm a big fan of this surgery. I read a lot about it and heard stories from my veteran friends. I knew about a dozen of them very well. Unfortunately, none of them are alive today.
You'll find them alllllllll....doin' the Lambeth Walk... HEY!
The Longest Day, Major Howard's men.
Hold until relieved
that was such a cool mission, I hope they add more glider missions, thank you Taff
Excellent landing, Taff! The thing about landing a glider is you only get one shot at it.
After being at the mercy of Lady Luck while being on the tow cable, a dead stick landing at night. Pretty scary, Taff, but you did extremely well. I have a private pilot's license for single engine propeller aircraft and I have made many night landings, but always at well lighted airports. All you had was a few fire pots to mark the landing zone -very well done!
Looks like you landed in the swamp. Not sure you’re getting the Jeep out.😂 great video though. Those men were ridiculously brave.
Very atmospheric indeed a great video.
Great mission be nice to see some parachute missions. By Allied Parachutes
Fantastic episode taff, those gliders are icons of the allied war effort against the axis powers. This was excellent as it highlights some areas of the war that don't always get the deserved spotlight, as soon as this started playing I was thinking of the classic icon film, 'The longest day'.. the after landing.. 'Saving Private Ryan'. Great work in highlighting the gliders, their crews and the heroic allied troops that we're transported in them, if ever you plan to make another special with these, looking forward to it. German spotlights, AAA batteries to face, uncertain landing areas and enemy ground troops heavily armed.. it takes true warriors with stone strong nerves and guts to operate these beauties. Great special taff, was utterly excellent. Thanks so much mate 👏 👍
I have to say I loved this glider mission I hope see more aswell and maybe some c47 missions
15:43 might have been good to over shoot a bit with that glider getting hit with arty
I would love more glider and paratroopvideos.❤
You're lucky you chose to hop that hedgerow and land in the field beyond - From the look of all the carnage in the first field, not to mention that glider that got hit right behind you as you were coming in , it looks like the Germans had that field dialed in with artillery 😬
My great grandfather designed and contributed this aircraft as an engineer at ford motor company and suggested to mske these planes out of a specific spruce
Fantastic mission. First try?😊 Love the series
This is great! Is this IL-2 Battle of Normandy pack?
Glider pilots, or at least the British ones, were told to get back to allied lines on D day to fly another wave back over on subsequent nights.
This was not the advice at Arnhem later in the war. The advice to the brits then was to stay and fight with a unit.
Landing lights was a bold move. Did they actually deploy them?
All those glider pilots had to control their landing was manipulation of drag. I find it absolute fascinating that most gliders actually achieved a successful landing (landing gear intact or not).
Great video !
Amazing job Taff
Good job on the videos keep it up taff
Boom!!!!! Crashh!!!!!!! "woowwww!"
Hi Taff. Congratz to a succsessful mission. Great video. Btw. can you do the the mission of Major Priller and his wingman on D Day which was was the only sortie of the Luftwaffe that day strafing the beaches? I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
This is represented in the film the longest day I think if I remember rightly.
What friendly lines? Other than sparse underground resistence and the Pathfinder themselves, the whole continent was enemy occupied.
Yes, very courageous men.
Seriously, I can’t even imagine.
That was so cool, just hoping you don't get lit up by all those ground forces and then landing wether you like it or not! Would have been nice to be able to point the light source up a bit in the end and i can't fathom that they actually did this in the middle of the night, so scary. In daylight would have been suicide of course
Operation Varsity was near to that unfortunately 😔
This reminds me of Medal of Honor Vanguard
Nice
Nice.
Very nice, is this a campaign or single mission available in the game or did you create by yourself?
Any Horsas?
Wonderful atmosphere, historically accurate, but a torture for the viewer. Black dogs fighting in a tunnel on a moonless night.
Get well soon.
Meh ? slightly interesting once.. but after that, probably not. Pity Devs aren't building French planes ? or maybe redoing CLOD ?..
