Hello i Really enjoy watching your videos on youtube and i had a suggestion. Teddy sheean was a great war hero of ww2. The ship he was aboard (HMAS Armidale) was hit by a torpedo and began to sink. It was then set apon by japaneze planes. Teddy who was hit by two bullets made his way to a gun and defended those in the water and even shot a plane out of the sky. He surcomed to his injurys but not without saving the lives of the crew. I know you guys probably really busy but im going to leave this here as a suggestion
Hi yarnhub. It's me again can you do the american medic (i forgot the name) who held off a japanese banzia charge and kill 95 japanese soliders alone with a mounted MG. He stayed behind so his paients can evacaute while he held off the attack. He was rewarded in 2003 for his bravery. I would very much appreciate if you would do this recommendation by me. It's ok if you have other plans.
The 6 British pilots that he evaded and attacked for 10 minutes were all aces and included the highest scoring British pilot at the time. That's how insanely skilled Voss was
here is the thing in bloody april the british lost a third of their airforce which is 3 times the size of the german one indicating that the german airforce was indeed superior
Only 20yrs old! I am 23 and still don't know what my life gonna lead me well I'm not leaving with my parents anymore but still ... Much respect for this guy's ✌️
The Dogfights of WWI were the last of Chivalrous Battles. Men on both sides, owing to and Toasting their enemies Gallantry and skill. When Richtofen was shot down the British Hailed him as "Our Gallant Foe." Never again in the history of Aerial Warfare has there ever been something like that. The Men of the Air in WWI, truly, were the last of the Knights of Old.
Nah it wasn't always like that, take René Fonck for instance, he was always shooting at the pilot because it was sparing ammo, he managed to score more than 140 victories (with only 75 confirmed, since the french confirmation system was the strictest). He wasn't an aristocrat , and therefore didn't fight like them, but managed to be the highest scoring pilot of ww1
@@ufeisen5059 Aiming for the pilot makes absolute sense. WWI aircraft had few areas that would actually result in proper damage if hit, such as the engine. It was often easier to try and kill the pilot.
It was a way of identifying your squadron mates in a dogfight. American pilots also did it, while French, Austrian and Italian pilots used distinctive crests. It makes for an interesting model collection.
I love the camo on Voß's plane, also suberp animation again as always. Also love to see the WW1 theme, the Variation on this channel is awesome. From WW1, in the beginnings even further all the way to modern operations. You guys have amazing skills and should definitely use them on as many different topics and eras as possible
You've done it again Yarnhub. A story great on its own merits made even more thrilling by your animation and narration. Those WWI aviators were truly magnificent men. And WWI aerial combat was the last theater that could honestly be called "a gentleman's war." Thanks for this video. WWI doesn't get talked about nearly enough. I'd really enjoy seeing you do more Great War tales. Thanks again for making such outstanding content.
The quality of these animations are insane. I was looking at the close shots of the plane’s engine, and the attention to detail is beyond my understanding. Down to every single scratch they keep the quality consistent. And they do it in a week. A WEEK!!!
Anyone else think yarnbhub is a really fast growing channel I mean thier first video had thousands of views it just blows my mind how fast they have grown.
I absolutely love WW1 aerial combat, nothing shows more courage then getting into a cloth, wire, and wood flying machine with only about 10 hours of training behind your back and no parachute
Werner Voss was 17 when he joined the newly form fighter squadron Jagdstaffel 2. Over the period of 3 years he was credited 48 victories, he died because there were 8 enemies vs him, he did not run but instead fought all of them but was shot down.
Beautiful job of showing the pure chaos of WW1 dogfights, while showing the honour, courage and bravery of the pilots, and the respect that they had for each other
Small fact: at 4:55 the British flights leader recalls Cronyn survived his encounter with voss because he put his plane into a fake flat spin appearing shot down and voss believed he shot Cronyn down.
I remember first hearing about Voss on the History Channel on the show Dogfights. I was in love with history, especially the history of the 2 great wars, and most specifically of the aviation and dogfighting. So obviously I was a big fan of the series, but the episode of Werner Voss is as I remember the first episode of the show where I legitimately cried. And this beautiful animation and retelling of the story here brings tears to my eyes as well.
4:19 correction: it was not a turn like you showed. The tri-plane was so maneuverable that voss pulled off a turn on the spot. It should have looked like the plane just stopped in the air, turned and then attacked the enemies.
And the foe who said that about voss....was another magnificent ace James McCudden, most probably with 57 victory, the best and the most decorated ace of royal air force. They surely have a huge amount of respect towards each other. But voss, he won my heart. German pilots r really cool.
Had Voss survived this encounter as well as fight on till 1918 he would have overtaken the Red Baron and in all likelihood become the first ace in history to down 100 aircraft. He was indeed one hell of a fighter pilot.
Well… Oswald Boelcke was arguably even greater and had nearly as many kills a year earlier. And that was BEFORE Bloody April. Part of being great is being smart. What Voss did in this fight violated a fatal number of Boelcke’s dicta. Btw OB died in a freak collision with a squadron member. He was not shot down.
He was an expert pilot and a true tactician with mechanical knowledge of his equipment and craft. He was brave beyond reason and paid the price. A truly remarkable legend.
Pilots and airmen of The Great War were another breed, flying on prototypes and learning to fly a new untested aircraft every year and writing the playbooks on air combat and aviation is awe inspiring! These young men and boys are and will be the best flyers the world has ever seen, not only for there skill and tactics but for there honour and respect for their foes in the sky! I am humbled to have earned my wings and be able to fly amongst the clouds just as they did all those years back!
Ironically at the beginning many of them, despite being on opposing sides, had actually known one another as friends on the prewar flying circuits. When one French aviator was killed in action the German pilot responsible openly wept - the Frenchman had taught him to fly!
After they killed Voss, one of the RAF pilots said they wished they could have taken him down alive but the truth is they shot to kill Voss. RIP. A great battle.
I'm going to be the annoying nerd guy here and point out that until April 1918, it was the RFC (Royal Flying Corps). The RAF was created when it merged with the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service)
A few things wrong with the video: Voss had taken off with only a couple of other Jasta 10 pilots, and had lost them by the time he chanced on two 60 squadron SE5s flown by Chidlaw-Roberts (10) and Hamersley (13). Voss forced both to retire, and just then was jumped by 4 SE5s of no. 56 squadron's B flight. After some dogfighting, 3 SE5s from no. 56 squadron C flight joined the fray, so Voss was facing McCudden (57), Bowman (32), Hoidge (28), Rhys-Davids (25), Maybery (21), and Muspratt (8). At some point an Albatros tried to help Voss but was driven off. So the beginning of the 'battle' wasn't some swirling huge dogfight 🤷♂️ And also, Kurt Wolff (33) had been killed flying the other Fokker triplane prototype on 15 September, by Sopwith Camels, more than a week prior to Voss' death.
I knew it! (I think). I'm pretty sure Voss is the one the dogfights episode was written about. It's been a while since I watched. AMAZING video as always guys!!! You should do a reveal the crew video one day so we can see the amazing people behind the scenes!
my god the animations are becoming perfect, i rewatched the old 2 airborne medics at that church in france that saved friend and foe and it improved a lot
Having issue with the original Oberursel Ur.II engine, a copy of a French engine, Voss ordered to use a Le Rhône 9J engine from a shot down British Nieuport 17 of No. 60 Squadron RFC for his own Fokker F.I
Yes, the plane depicted was a Pfalz DIII but other descriptions I’ve read of this fight, said it was an Albatros. Also, I’m not real sure I understand how he would have escaped had he wanted to. The SE5 was at least 30 mph faster than a Triplane. Maybe he could have out climbed them but he would have been a vulnerable sitting duck until out of range.
Please make a video about Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. He was one of America's greatest aces and he also was the leader of VMA 214 Black Sheep, which was the highest scoring squadron in the south pacific.
I'm a sucker for World War I aviation history so I loved watching this one. Fantastic job at animating the various planes (SE5, Albatros, Dr.III) and the two sides rushing towards each other at the beginning was amazing. Actually, all the animation of the dogfighting was top notch. Thanks so much for doing a video of this time period! (That, and I really appreciate the clips you've done featuring the Korean War as well!)
I absolutely LOVE hearing about ww1 dogfights, something about those old planes just feel so romantic or amazing. Airmen at the time always held such high respect towards their enemy. It's awesome
Voss’s triplane was actually one of three prototypes. Imagine the testicular fortitude needed to take a prototype fighter into battle, especially a huge battle like that.
I swear your storytelling and animation skills are incredible, this ist now my favourite channel on youtube! Watching since your first "when a bf 109 spared a b17" video, keep it up!
We'd all be lucky if we could die as brave as voß had. Voß is way too underrated. He was and is the champion of the sky. I personally call the flat half spin maneuver simply "the Voß spin"
I just wanna say on behalf of the yarn hub fan base we love the content you provide and the effort you put into the videos i am not sure if it is just one person marking these or a team but either or we are so great full to have you guys and the content you guys make.
Dear Yarnhub, not to complain but you forgot to mention James McCudden. He was the leader of the British flight and was the one who made that comment about Voss being "the bravest Greman airman...''
Richthofen may have the most kills, but he used baits to get his kills. Voss had to use his skills to insure his victories. I bet he still used the same tactics Richthofen used, both fantastic skilled aces.
The man, who was citated at the end, was James McCudden, flight B commander of 56th Squadron RFC, later the leading RFC ace with 57 kills and recepient of Victoria Cross
@@OfficerCharon When RFC and RNAS were transformed into RAF on 1st April 1918, Mick Mannock had 16 kills, Billy Bishop (top scoring british empire ace with 72 kills) had 47 and James McCudden had 57 (last scoring on 26 February 1918). I'm not saying, that McCudden was top scoring british ace, but he was top scoring ace of Royal Flying Corps as Raymond Collishaw was top scoring pilot of Royan Naval Air Service, before they were transformed into RAF.
@@jirikupr2599 You could also say that Billy Bishop was the highest scoring British ace to actually survive the war, and who went on to have a distinguished career in the RCAF. Collishaw, from memory, was sadly killed in a road accident a few years later; McCudden and Mannock were both kia - like Richthofen, most probably victims of combat fatigue which impaired their judgement at a crucial moment. I think McCudden's grave was only positively identified a few years ago.
My favourite parts of yarnhub videos is the start, "it September 23rd 1917... " and the amazing commentary. Keep up the great work!! can you also add more cat scenes around the end? I really love finding the cat :)
Only thing missing is Voss did an insane 180 degree turn. Several British pilots that were in the fight witnessed it. This was too softened up, but I love this channel anyways.
He also returned fire on anyone approaching from the sides by doing 90 degree sideslips. I thought it was all bull until I saw Chill31000 do it for real, with a rotary equipped reproduction DR.1
He was my great grandpas cousin and my grandpa family Immigrated to the US in 1888. He joined the army was in the first infantry division and captured 15 Germans all because he knew how to speak German, he was lucky he learned early in life because the US outlawed all forms of German culture. Which when people say things like we’d all be speaking German, we’ll No we wouldn’t cuz they already took It away
Could you do a story about Doris Miller, the cook in the battle ship West Virginia who used the ship’s turret to take down Japanese planes during the bombing of pearl harbor?
Good vid. Thanks for posting. Just on the triple wing theme, the Fokker Triplane was designed after the Sopwith Triplane. The Germans were so impressed by the Sopwith they designed numerous triple wing planes, the most famous being the Fokker Dr1. The Sopwith Triplanes were very successful but their stablemate the Camel proved easier to maintain and equally effective.
The Camel also mounted two guns, to the Pup or Triplane's one, and had a more powerful engine. It gave its pilots three choices - Victoria Cross, Red Cross or wooden cross, being a bit of a beast to fly if you weren't used to it's little ways......
especially since the vast majority of pilots weren't supplied parachutes. If they lost tail control there is no bail out, they just had to sit in their seat and pray
This episode will probably be my all-time favorite from YarnHub! Very well done and pays proper tribute to probably the bravest and most skilled pilot of all time!

The best part about Yarn Hub is that they cover everybody who fought, not just the allies. Because they were all just men, just on different sides.
Richthofen was the highest ideal, but Voss was the one that had balls of steel
yes
Uhhh Yes?
Very true
Both died due to their pride, the former caused by injury and the latter caused by competition.
But not too heavy that he couldn't get on the plane
It’s such a marvelous thing when one can appreciate and honor a foe. Thanks for sharing another great story in the hell of war
Yes indeed. It's not unpatriotic to honor a foe. Heroic actions knows no bounds.
This video about the second highest ace of WW1 in the German Air force was awesome. And the animation was spot on.
The second highest scoring ace of WW1 in the German Air Force was actually, Ernst Udet with 62 aerial victories to Voss' 48.
The 6 British pilots that he evaded and attacked for 10 minutes were all aces and included the highest scoring British pilot at the time. That's how insanely skilled Voss was
Voss: 6 vs 1? damn, looks like a fair fight.
Imagine what’s goin thru ur mind when ur 6v1 n ur teammate who happens to be number one ace also can’t even take him down
One thing I've always liked about ww1 airmen. They respect their enemy when respect is due.
James Mancock wants to know your location
i was gonna say the same thing.
here is the thing
in bloody april the british lost a third of their airforce
which is 3 times the size of the german one
indicating that the german airforce was indeed superior
Mannock used to like to watch the German pilots Burn 🔥

It's not every day you suddenly find your grandfather in an animation! Thank you, you've made our day - brilliant
Well. You are the third one who admits that Voss is your grandfather.
Voss was a good friend, and a hero. There is no doubt that he had a greater end than I did. I salute you, Werner.
"I tip my hat to you, one legend to another"
I thought you were dead!
Richthofen: my death was..greatly exaggerated
Dr. Edward Richtofen!!! So long! Oh nein, that's another one
Hi Richthofen
Remember seeing the Dogfights episode on him as a kid and absolutely losing my mind at the crazy maneuvers he was pulling off, the absolute mad lad
I love how german planes in ww1 is always been customize with colour like it is a online video game

WW1 a war so brutal so bloody yet honor, dignity, and chivalry survived...it's a shame WW2 was the last ear these traits could be found in abundance
ikr ww1 was a sport like war where people who are good combatants are honored by their adversaries even after their death

I think McCudden's grave was only positively identified a few years ago.
Besides the history facts and the great animation, I also really liked the fact that Voss' plane looked like it had eyebrows and a mustache.
It did and was a Fokker f.I triplane which was a prototype to the dr.1
@@edscmidt5193 Thanks. You reckon if I went tp flying school, I could have my Cessna painted to have a mustache too?
Werner Voss was The Red Baron's wingman and best Friend. No wonder he was that hard to kill
My favourite parts of yarnhub videos is the start, "it September 23rd 1917... " and the amazing commentary.
Keep up the great work!!
can you also add more cat scenes around the end? I really love finding the cat :)
Only thing missing is Voss did an insane 180 degree turn. Several British pilots that were in the fight witnessed it. This was too softened up, but I love this channel anyways.
He also returned fire on anyone approaching from the sides by doing 90 degree sideslips.
I thought it was all bull until I saw Chill31000 do it for real, with a rotary equipped reproduction DR.1
1:30 Wow, I didn’t know Thomas the tank engine was in WWI!
Yes ,he's it
Nah, that's his Great Great Great-Grandfather
@@Eid_Mubarak lol
fun fact: baron and voss were really close friends
Yeah
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL YALL DESERVE MILLONS OF SUBS.
He was my great grandpas cousin and my grandpa family Immigrated to the US in 1888. He joined the army was in the first infantry division and captured 15 Germans all because he knew how to speak German, he was lucky he learned early in life because the US outlawed all forms of German culture. Which when people say things like we’d all be speaking German, we’ll
No we wouldn’t cuz they already took
It away
wait what i didnt know they had outlawed German culture
Wow, amazing
@@madhukarjonathanminj2772 you could be arrested for speaking German, yes
@@Suo_kongque bruh
@@madhukarjonathanminj2772 that true. and people of German descent were persecuted
Voss is a professional of the highest Calibre. Legendary status achieved..
Could you do a story about Doris Miller, the cook in the battle ship West Virginia who used the ship’s turret to take down Japanese planes during the bombing of pearl harbor?
Is this why you don't piss chefs off?
@@kayagorzan other than you risking getting spit on your food, yes
I’m sad, this premiered in the middle of my class and I had to wait till now to watch it :(
Same :xd
Nah my class was an hour ago but I had to do homework
5:28 Friendly German pilot: Don't worry Voss, I came to rescue you.
British pilot: Not anymore.
Already know this is gonna be a banger cause its by yarnhub love you guys at yarnhub❤️
The amount of respect for the enemy is incredible. They were all human after-all
The quality of this video is awesome!! Those pilots had balls of steel as well. Going up into the air in those dead traps. Without parachutes...
I read somewhere that they brought a pistol with them, in case their plane caught fire they wouldn't have to burn to death.
Ruhe in Frieden Werner Voß
Good vid. Thanks for posting.
Just on the triple wing theme, the Fokker Triplane was designed after the Sopwith Triplane. The Germans were so impressed by the Sopwith they designed numerous triple wing planes, the most famous being the Fokker Dr1. The Sopwith Triplanes were very successful but their stablemate the Camel proved easier to maintain and equally effective.
The Camel also mounted two guns, to the Pup or Triplane's one, and had a more powerful engine. It gave its pilots three choices - Victoria Cross, Red Cross or wooden cross, being a bit of a beast to fly if you weren't used to it's little ways......
I love learning about World War I, especially aviation, it's a very interesting time period to me
especially since the vast majority of pilots weren't supplied parachutes. If they lost tail control there is no bail out, they just had to sit in their seat and pray
Make sense..
He's da Final *"VOSS"*
If you can make your enemies respect you while in combat that's how you know you have skill.
@PeakApex most were told to fight but didnt want to
MAN these animations are getting so beautiful! Love you guys
When the bullets hit the propeller but yarnhub's live action cameraman is still filming while his plane is exploding
Every time Yarnhub premiers you can tell its good by just looking at the Thumbnail
This episode will probably be my all-time favorite from YarnHub!
Very well done and pays proper tribute to probably the bravest and most skilled pilot of all time!
Yes finally yarn hub posted something new I’ve been waiting all week
