It's 1944, the skies over New Guinea. Captain Richard "Dick" Ira Bong is the country's top flying ace in the WWII, well known for taking down 40 Japanese aircraft. He and his partner, Major Thomas Lynch, participate in the ace race. They are hunting Japanese planes in the hope of surpassing their nearest rival, Colonel Neel Kearby, and breaking Eddie Rickenbacker's WWI record of 26 victories. But fate has other plans: it turns a professional competition into a deeply personal drama.

Hi
I'm a loyal sub 😀
How you have link??
Why does the one P-38 have the D-Day stripes months before D-Day? I didn't think any planes had them before D-Day.
What is happening?
I swear yarnhub gets better every time
He didn’t even plug anything this video! :)

Ya
And everytime I wonder ohw they can tsill get better at the peak of quality
I love the detail on Bong at 11:50, showing his excitement in scoring another victory, but then the sad realization that he no longer has his friend to celebrate with.
He even looked to the side to see if his wingman seen the kill
true
😢
"great kid, don't get cocky"
"They're all clear kid, now lets blow this thing and go home!"

There's this feeling of slight goosebumps when i realized that Colonel Kearby also appeared in a separate Yarnhub video 3 years ago about his wingman, Bill Dunham, who gave his life jacket to a stricken Japanese airmen.
There's also something poetic with how Bong lost his wingman, while Dunham lost his leader. Both men lost someone close to them, yet they continued fighting and ended up earning a spot in History for different deeds.
Oh wow! So that's why his name sounds familiar lol
@@symphinitystugiii3476it all comes back together in the end
What's the name of the video?
@@vanja2565 When a P-47 Pilot Aided a Japanese Aviator
A Japanese fighter ace named Takeo Tanimizu had great respect for his US adversaries, even flying low to throw a life preserver to Cpt. Harvey Carter after shooting his plane down
Unfortunately, Richard Bong was killed during a test flight in an F-80s. The engine failed and resulted in a fatal crash. This was an amazing animation and keep it up!
Bong managed to bail out of the F-80 but was too low for his chute to open.
@@barrygrant2907i think this was one of the reasons why ejection seats were made and implemented
@@Swaggyswisscheez I believe it had a "catapult" seat, an early version of ejection seats. Even much later than the F-80, the successful ejection envelope was very limited, unlike the zero/zero versions available today. He was simply too low for the times.
Also his death occured on the same day as Little Boy being dropped on Hiroshima
Was Just About To Comment This
As an old guy I’m excited that many younger viewers may just be learning about Dick Bong, and even about the P-38 Lightning . I’m lucky to have seen one fly several years ago.
👍
I bet that P-38 is "Glacier Girl", that early model Lightning that crash-landed in Iceland and recovered and restored to flight condition.
There are actually more P-38's flying than just Glaciar Girl. I was at Oshkosk and there were two late model P-38L's at the show.@@centamangila1217
I’m 46 and I eat,breathe and sleep WW2 content. Man vs man not computer targeting system vs man.
Wisconsonites keep his memory alive.
It's sad to see both aces died in combat.... and it's the first time I see yarnold cry.
And Bong himself died as a test pilot for the P-80 Shooting star.
@@KyoushaPumpItUp yup. :(
@@LancelotChan Also, all three of Neel Kearby's children died in aircraft accidents: two in 1974, and one in 1977.
@@KyoushaPumpItUp Man.... so sad...
@@KyoushaPumpItUpthat seems like a curse
Thank you for doing a show on Richard Bong….in my home town and his Superior Wisconsin…there’s a huge bridge named after him…growing up I always thought it funny to name a bridge Bong until I learned the history behind the name…now I couldn’t be more proud of the man it’s named after
And a airport, we also have his airplane in the museum
He died young. Check out the Bong WWII Heritage Center there in Superior.
I remember there was a memorial of him on the side of the road between Duluth and Superior and I thought there was a P-38 there. Mid 80s when I saw it if I’m not mistaken.
@@MWILSON7You are not mistaken. Man that's been a long time ago. I am a Wisconsinite by birth, Not Superior. Ft Atkinson.
0:36 i love the star wars reference
Me too😂
Same 😂😂
There were several
Mannnnn, I've been watching you guys for a while now, it's crazy how you guys went from such simple animations to such quality, especially with the faces. I also love the talking from the characters in between the narration, the editing and the music. Wish the best for you all and a bright future ahead.
When Bong was sent home to do a bond tour, the pilot who was with him who also been sent home was Robert Johnson, who was the first 8th Air Force pilot to exceed 26 kills. Bong didn't survive the war. After being sent home for good, the AAF had him test flying the new P-80 Shooting Star Jet aircraft. On August 6, 1945, the day the A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Bong was killed test flying a P-80.
Chuck Yeager wrote about that in his book. Bong, for all his ferocity and prowess as a fighter pilot, was not the best technician, and didn't take as much time as he might have to understand the various systems in the planes he flew the way that Yeager did. Dick Bong's loss was tragic.
Your videos just can’t stop getting better! Keep up the good work!
When Col. Kearby was mentioned i got goosebumps because i remembered his plane gets shot-down (When a P-47 Pilot Aided a Japanese Aviator) and even knowing how that story would end i still got sad seeing it happen again. Seeing these different stories intersect is truly an amazing thing, love the work you guys do honoring the memory of the fallen. Keep up the good work!
Wow this is amazing! The characters are getting so lifelike, soon I won’t be able to tell they are computer generated!
Just a suggestion, 7:34 I think is the best “explosion” for a plane, being an aviation enthusiast, I much preferred that smoke trail to the fire
Great job anyway!
You guys truly outdo yourselves with every video! Fantastic work as always!
P-38 really gives some weird chills. A very majestic airplane indeed. 😮salute to all the heroes. 🫡
I honestly didn't realize it was produced in such great numbers. I must have been thinking of the double Mustang
One of those beautiful aircraft of the period that confirm the adage "if it looks right, it is right".
My late father's favorite plane.
YESSS! The Race of Aces gets an adaptation!! Thnx Yarnhub & great job including the Star Wars dialogue!
I’ve been a fan for 3 years now and always have loved and clicked on your content
Richard "Dick" Ira Bong was a United States Army Air Forces major and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. He was one of the most decorated American fighter pilots and the country's top flying ace in the war, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, all with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter. He died in California while testing a Lockheed P-80 jet fighter shortly before the war ended. Bong was posthumously inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1986 and has several commemorative monuments named in his honor around the world, including an airport, two bridges, a theater, a veterans historical center, a recreation area, a neighborhood terrace, and several avenues and streets, including the street leading to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio
Another great video Yarnhub! My great grandpa also flew p38s, many missions were solo missions so unfortunately there were many unconfirmed kills, according to my grandma he had around 7-8 kills (can’t fully remember) but unfortunately never earned the ace title as they were again unconfirmed! Great covering of the race!
Say... what were his full names, rank, and unit, pray tell?
These stories just keep getting better and better, great work on this one!
Also love the little st at wars references you put into this one, the force is truly with you…
Been looking forward to this for 2 weeks now! Thanks again to the Yarnhub team for working so hard!
It’s crazy. from watching you for the first time then watching each video improving every time. Showing how much effort you put on this videos❤
That is one of the best digital models of the p-38 I have seen yet!
Good job team!
every video, I always think the animation and story-telling cant be topped, but this just blows everything out of the water. great work, I cant wait for the next!
The segway into the ad is outstanding...please folks...take this to heart. If needed...for you or a loved one / friend...just make the call....
This was, IMHO, one of the best yet. My hats off to those tough and Brave pilots.
RIP to all of them.
Yarnhub, once again you outdid yourself with everything from voice acting to action to explanation and most importantly animation. I really love how you've kept better and better with quality and i really loved those clever Star Wars references from A New Hope to Rogue One in the voicelines, once again you made proud and excelled🎉❤.
This guy is upgrading to a whole level animation !
This guys dialogue, scens, cuts, voice overs, straight voice line and extraordinary narration. This guy is going to be a next level 🔥🔥
I really appreciate this guys efforts to make a such a unique edits and animation and tons of work. Man, I can't believe this guys is doing it all alone (or I do think). I wish that this guy is gonna make such videos which are going to win Oscar award. Regards this guy gonna make the world of 3rd animation into something next level 🔥
Keep going brother ❤
Support from me
We're not alone, there's a whole bunch of us
The quality has come a long way and i think that it looks great! Keep up the good work👍🏻
Good job Yarnhub. Saw your video today, I had to pause and take time to watch it. Brilliant as usual. Keep it up.
LOVE THE LOCAL VOICE! It adds realism to the video depicting different nations! I swear you all are getting better by the years!!
Love the P-38. Great video Yarnhub! Your videos are always very entertaining and informative!
Guys your quality made quantum leaps and you became so incredibly good. Thank you. Please never stop!
I’ve been waiting for another yarnhub video for so long and as usual I’m not disappointed
Been watching this channel for a while, the production quality of these videos just gets better and better
The Rouge One reference, “Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Lieutenant”. Bloody brilliant .
Your timing for sponsors is outstanding man
The animation just keeps getting better guys! Great work once again. I am no pilot but the P-38 sounds like it was a great plane to fly. Fast and nimble with good fire power. Bong was the MAN!
The first vid I ever saw from yarnhub was the striken bf 109 vid about a month after it came out from the 2d animation to good quality 3d and now voice acting you guys have killed it for years and are just getting better
Keep up the Star Wars references, guys! Got me chuckling pretty good!
And kudos for your partnership with Better Help - we need more UA-camrs who are willing to tell people that it's ok to not be ok, and that there is help available for those who are suffering ❤
This man is like the Spielberg of military history.
i did love the references, animation, and history behind the video well done yarnhub
The Quality is just brilliant, brilliant work guys !!
You keep getting better and better, every video is pure eye candy.
Love your videos! You should do one about the soviet aces in WW2 who had the highest scores of all the allied pilots
Another amazing video from yarnhub. With the amount of effort that you put into them they are definitely the best quality videos on youtube. I always look forward to the next video
Damn these animations are getting unbelievable good - the facial expressions and voice acting really makes the animation much more live-like. Impeccable job to everyone involve in making this!
These videos just keep on getting better!
Yarnhub is in mood for some star wars references today I see
"Be careful not to choke on your aspirations"
"Great Kid, Don't get cocky"
"They're all clear kid, now lets blow this thing and go home!"
"It's a trap"
"Did he land? Is he alright" (Maybe wrong, but can be "Is she safe? Is she alright?")
You guys give out the best videos and the narration is just perfect.Good Video quality and suspense is really exciting.. 👏👏
it is crazy how realistic the animation has become over the years
Thanks for making uncountable great stories, you are just great man, i can‘t even tell how you managed to evolve from a funny 2d paper channel to an absolute unit of stories, i just think you should add the funny character again.
This felt like a movie rather than a normal youtube video...great work Yarnhub Team
One of the best, or not the best storytelling channels on YT. The combination of telling the story with the visualization is very pleasant to watch.
Your videos keep getting better and better! Congrats on that! Greetings from Peru!
The japanese dub are really cool! Adding submersion to the story!
every once and a while i come back to yarnhub and watch some of their videos. And Holy Lord, this is amazing, its so awesome to watch you guys evolve and get better.
I recently found this channel and am in love.
I know they mostly cover WWI and WWII, but I would also love to see rather modern topics like Operation Nimrod
Holy these quality are amazing cant wait for the next episide
2:34 holy crap, the animation of Bong’s mouth is insane
Graphics are brilliant, you guys are getting better every time a watch a new story. Well done guys!
I can’t believe how many emotions I felt from just a simple yarnhub video
The animations just get better and better❤
BABE WAKE UP YARNHUB JUST POSTED!!
Been watching for a while now, crazy how much the quality has improved!
The animation is stunning! It just keeps getting better!
Your animators really deserve a pay raise
These are getting better every video, truly mind boggling to see where you were back then and now!
Awesome video Yarnhub. Perhaps one of my favorite video. Richard Bong was a legend while flying the P-38 Lightning.
its so amazing to see the videos get every time, keep up the good work!
Bruh I came here just 1 minute after post and almost 100 likes already???
this feels like a Topgun prequel bros
What’s sad about this story is he was sent to test some p-80 shooting stars where he was tragically killed in an accident. He was only 24 at the time
The improvements on every video updated is amazing
I loved this video! I also like all the references in it as well
The faces look so good now! Can you do a video on how you increased the quality of your videos as a 1 million special?
The details of the expressions are priceless. Utterly fabulous!
I don’t know how, but the animation keeps getting better, and the videos keep coming sooner. Keep up the good work gentlemen!
Well done on the anamations. At the start ow was 2D and now it's 3D keep up the good work😀
I think the team at yarnhub has been watching a lot of Star Wars recently
The content you make is remarkable and looks amazing
Graphics are getting really good these days. Keep up the history lessons. Love it
Yet another work of art. The graphics & work is so good pretty soon we will not be able to tell the difference between Yarnhub graphics and live action shots Congrats team Yarnhub. Absolutely love your videos and the historical accuracy. Plus all the Star Wars references make them an Easter egg hunt extravaganza!!!
For anyone in the Midwest, II highly suggest visiting the Richard Bong Museum in Superior, WI. (Right across the harbor from Duluth)
His actual entire plane is on full display and they even let you look inside cockpit. They also have incredible war artifacts belonging to top SS officers and even some of Hermann Göring's personal items.
The museum is rarely crowded. I've been 3 times and found more and more incredible items on display every time
“Ive got a bad feeling about this” … meaning how many more Star wars lines….
Well done…
holy the quality in these videos keeps getting better, the faces are in that uncanny valley that in some scenes it ALMOST looks real though the lips feel off when they talk
This is better than any film. Any history lesson. You guys are absolutely brilliant at what you do.
Holy shit your character accuracy is leagues above what I remember it being. Dial in the vocal audio synchronization a bit and you've got that perfected.
Bro looks exactly like the picture each video the graphics get better and better
Man it’s crazy how high quality y’all’s videos have gotten
The animation is outstanding, excellent job. Can't wait for another story!
Great Video, keep on going
Excellent work, including the very realistic Japanese voices.
We always try to use native speakers even if we have them speak English lines
The chef’s kiss of authenticity
Coming home from a long day and watching a new yarnhub video is the perfect start into the weekend for me.
The way the planes fly, turn, speed up and crash has improved so much. In the earlier videos it looked like world of warplanes, but now it looks very realistic
"I love watching the hub"
Thanks for liking my comment 😂
🎉 fabulous animation
I waited so long for this! Now i have somthing to watch with my friend on the bus back from school
