      Estonian Shark first off, the quote itself is a pretty universally shared sentiment about soldiers and veterans regardless of what corps they served in so I don’t know why you would think it’s not applicable to these pilots. Second, I listened to a recording of this quote before I posted it so I don’t think I got it wrong

      @@matthewlee8667 Actually it was "Grandpa were you a hero in the war" and Navy pilots did not serve in companies. This saying would not make sense if applied for NAVAL airmen. Change it to "But I served with Heroes" or "I flew with a group of Heroes" or "I flew in a squadron of Heroes" which makes no sense considering pilots were really in that much danger compared to your average marine or infantryman on the ground.

      He was a quintessential Naval pilot, the right stuff kinda guy who was serious, focused and sober throughout his too short life. That's the worst part of war, when our best and brightest hopes are so suddenly and unexpectedly totally just gone, lost forever so soon, daily.
      Ensign Brown's loss reminds me of another navy pilot hero: LtCmdr O'Hare, who like a spark appeared brilliantly only to be out a few flights later, the bitter agony of war full strength is felt in their stories.

      @Cheeki Breeki Jesse LeRoy Brown was a United States Navy officer. He was the first African-American aviator to complete the U.S. Navy's basic flight training program, was a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the first African-American naval officer killed in the Korean War.
      Thomas Jerome Hudner Jr. (August 31, 1924 - November 13, 2017) was an officer of the United States Navy and a naval aviator. He rose to the rank of captain, and received the Medal of Honor for his actions in trying to save the life of his wingman, Ensign Jesse L. Brown, during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War.
      Born in Fall River, Massachusetts, Hudner attended Phillips Academy and the United States Naval Academy. Initially uninterested in aviation, he eventually took up flying and joined Fighter Squadron 32, flying the F4U Corsair at the outbreak of the Korean War. Arriving near Korea in October 1950, he flew support missions from the aircraft carrier USS Leyte.
      On 4 December 1950, Hudner and Brown were among a group of pilots on patrol near the Chosin Reservoir when Brown's Corsair was struck by ground fire from Chinese troops and crashed. In an attempt to save Brown from his burning aircraft, Hudner intentionally crash-landed his own aircraft on a snowy mountain in freezing temperatures to help Brown. In spite of these efforts, Brown died of his injuries and Hudner was forced to evacuate, having also been injured in the landing.
      Following the incident, Hudner held positions aboard several U.S. Navy ships and with a number of aviation units, including a brief stint as executive officer of USS Kitty Hawk during a tour in the Vietnam War, before retiring in 1973. In subsequent years, he worked for various veterans' organizations in the United States. The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner is named for him.

    Before deploying to Korea when they were flying in work-ups, Brown was flight lead took the flight to buzz Daisy at their house on their way to exercises. Hudner was a bit uncomfortable with this as it wasn't by the book. After the Korea events, a couple years later, Hudner was leading training flights out to the same range and his routine was to lead the flight and buzz Daisy. Not a big thing, but I love that story. Hudner and Daisy remained friends for the rest of their lives.

Many WW2 Navy pilots when landing on carriers, thought they would overshoot, so they would go from say 20% throttle to 70% or maybe even full throttle. This sudden change in torque and the slow airspeed of the plane caused the Corsair to violently turn over to the right and splash into the water. Lots of early Corsair pilots were lost this way, it wasn't until after WW2 that it was figured out and pilots were told not to do this.

    I first read about Thomas Hudner Jr. and Jesse Leroy Brown a few years back in a book that told the stories of some past Medal of Honor recipients. This story of courage, selflessness, and heroism stood out to me the most, and will remain that way for me. Thank you, deeply, for the upload.

    • @suprchickn7745

      Unfortunately it tells stories that never happened that effect the viewers opinion of Jesse in a negative way. He was never accused of insubordination and he never questioned the LSO whose job it was to help him land his plane safely. Jesse was indeed a dedicated Christian, pilot, Naval officer and husband. I suggest reading The Flight of Jesse Leroy Brown and Devotion, the book by Adam Makos for the incredible true story that needs no Hollywood embellishment.

      @@Yarnhub No really. This is my favorite youtube video ever and I thank you for that. Something I really needed to see especially with the good animations that you put effort into as well. I grow up in a reactionary black household so I'm always having to listen to anti-caucasian racist rhetoric. All of my friends ever that last are all caucasian and I commonly get shunned for it but not by my home but rather my youth colleagues. So this was my inspiration to find not only the negative in history; but also the good that comes from hardships like these. Thank you and have try to have a good 2020 year! 🖤❤

  • @felixcat9318

    This story shows the depth of the bond between these Navy Pilots.
    In deciding to crash land his own aircraft in order to assist his downed friend, he showed the extent of his humanity, courage and honour.
    The sheer frustration at being unable to free their fellow Airman must have weighed very heavily on the Rescue Crew's hearts.
    To have had to abandon their downed Pilot friend alone on that mountain must have been truly awful, because they'd got to him whilst he was still alive.
    He made the ultimate sacrifice and his story should be more well known.
    Thank you for publishing it and bringing it to a larger audience.

The story of Ensign Jesse Brown is one that should definitely receive more attention, and hopefully the movie Devotion will help achieve in doing just that.

    Incredible, touching story but not surprising. I served in the US Navy and had extraordinarily close friendships with certain shipmates, most were of a race other than my own, and those bonds were strong and the loyalty too. My best friends were black and oriental. Color of skin makes no difference. Character is indifferent to color. It would be heartwrenching to not be able to save someone and a close pal especially.

    Just saw the movie. I think it's better than it has gotten credit for. Yeah, the pacing was not the greatest and there were some boring parts, but you have to consider that if they had jumped straight into the action it would have been a much shorter movie. Perhaps there is an argument that it would have been better as a TV movie or something, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. I am not too hard to please when it comes to war films anyway. The scene where Hudner lost it and started beating the side of the airplane in a final, desperate attempt to save his best friend was also quite heartbreaking. Not sure if that happened in reality, but it shows the heart that was put into the film.
    I really hope some of the other books Adam Makos has written on true stories like this will get recognition in Hollywood in my lifetime.
