      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.

He wasn't an aristocrat , and therefore didn't fight like them, but managed to be the highest scoring pilot of ww1

    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.

    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.

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.

      @@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.

    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.

    • @johndavies9270
      @johndavies9270 3 роки тому

      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......
