@@coderbert3996 I don't know about that, but, the main inspiration was the Royal Navy carrying out one of the first major carrier harbour attacks on Italy. It was seen as a big success and the harbour was unusable for quite some time (mostly due to air dropped mines). The IJN high command actually went to the port to view what had happened first hand, then planned their attack on Pearl Harbour which makes the RN attack seem like a small training exercise.
hope they mention this The F6F accounted for 75 percent of all aerial victories recorded by the U.S. Navy in the Pacific U.S. Navy and Marine F6F pilots flew 66,530 combat sorties and claimed 5,163 kills (56% of all U.S. Navy/Marine air victories of the war) at a recorded cost of 270 Hellcats in aerial combat (an overall kill-to-loss ratio of 19:1 based on claimed but not confirmed kills).[43] Claimed victories were often highly exaggerated during the war. Even so, the aircraft performed well against the best Japanese opponents with a claimed 13:1 kill ratio against the A6M Zero, 9.5:1 against the Nakajima Ki-84, and 3.7:1 against the Mitsubishi J2M during the last year of the war
My dad (Commander John W Ramsey USN 1941-63) flew the F4 Wildcat at Guadalcanal Henderson Field in 1943 with VF-11 Sundowners. This was his first tour, he shot down 2 -Zeros attacking the base, his engine was shot up and he made a successful dead stick landing on the field. Great video thank you!
These vids are AWESOME I learned more about war ships in these vids than I have learned in watching YEARS of historical documentaries on History, Learning, and Military channels!!! Thanks much to ALL involved in making these GREAT Vids
Well,they learned from What the british did from studying the raid at the italian naval base at Taranto. Up until and including large parts of 1940, CV warfare where considered not capable enough to stand against the battleship as the principal capital ship. Fast development of new aircraft made them soon into a very powerful force.
@@irfanefatenight8816 Side history: Although Sake was national alcohol drink, Asahi and some Japanese Breweries' had their first establishment around early 20th century. Beer were popular in pre-war Japanese and they uses kanji "麦酒" (wheat wine), and it shares the same pronunciation with Beer "Bīru". I can hold your Biru and both of them still applicable.
When I was at Navy "A" school in Pensacola, I volunteered at the museum every weekend for 10 hours at a time. I found something new everytime. An amazing place with some stunning aircraft.
Actually, AA Guns on ships, despite being an inpenetrable wall of steel like the Cleveland or Atlanta class, it used a laughable amount of ammo compared to a fighter due to the distance between the target.
My sin! I live 15 minutes from the gate coming south on Navy. When I go there, about once a month or two, I always drop a ten in the box and have lunch at the Cubi Bar! I always enjoy the place.The aviators that lead the experience (tours) are awesome!
5:35 - "The landing was the issue." Why, what's the problem with that landing? Seems pretty decent to me. :) Anyway, as usual, quality historical content. Kudos for including the very early steps, for some reason I love those frightening, fragile-looking pre-proto-barelyinvented contraptions.
They are many problems with landing.The flight deck may be too short or the plane is too fast,so they can't catch the anchor rope in time and go overboard.
Wish they'd gone into more detail about the Fleet Problems, which were only mentioned at the very end and almost in-passing, and how there were not only mock attacks on Pearl, but also a successful simulated strike on the Panama Canal. The results of the Fleet Problems caused the USN to begin shifting its doctrine to be more carrier-centric in the runup to WW2, and that's a big part of the reason the Essex class of fleet carriers were already beginning construction before the IJN attacked Pearl Harbor at the end of 1941. If the USN had waited until after Pearl to start laying down a new class of CV, it would have been quite a few more months before they started putting hulls to sea.
It's more than worth the visit it's free admission I live in Talladega Alabama and I go almost every year I donate what I can when I visit it's also where the Blue Angels are stationed at (no guarantee you'll see them tho) just remember to bring your personal ID with you cuz it is on the Naval Air Base
Definately Japanese. They had some really intriguing planes like the C6N (Which was allegedly the fastest for its time, being able to outfly a wildcat)
Actually it wasn't planned. General Mitchell, at the time, was pushing for a stronger Air Force. But most didn't think it would be useful in combat. So to prove his point he launched a surprise "Attack" on pearl harbor. Needless to say the other Generals/Admirals were not happy with him even though he showed them what they could do. So they "asked" him to retire. American hubris, even after the successful "attack" they still believed it was impossible for aircraft to sink an entire fleet and that Pearl Harbor was safe.
Better documentaries than almost anywhere else. I have no interest in the game, but I'd totally pay for a digital download of these on Amazon or something. Great work.
Love the Nation Museum of Naval Aviation. Live 18 miles from it. It also has a few of my Naval Aviation Search and Rescue equipment and patches from my my service and plaques from my squadrons and detachments. Also has a few items of my father's aviation gear donated.
Great video as usual from you guys! Would have been interesting to know the aircraft's maximum range and flight time though,more so than weight and dimensions. Looking forward to part 2.
About 5 years ago, I visited Pensacola and I wanted to visit the museum, but I got lost trying to find it. Lol. It's all good, I've seen my share of U.S. Military museums. Museums are awesome. My favorite museum is the National D-Day Museum which I have visited and if you ever get a chance to visit New Orleans, check out the museum. It's pretty cool. The National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC is nice, too. What's your favorite museum and why?
I've been to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola it is an awesome place to visit lots of historical aircraft and historical information and it's free admission but I still donate what I can whenever I visit

From planes of the wright brothers To the biplanes of WW1 To the F9C sparrowhawk of the USS Macon and Akron zeppelins To the monoplanes of the WWII To the fighter Jets of today
They forgot to mention that Brewster pissed away most of the money the Navy gave them and took too long delivering the buffalo so the Navy took on the wildcat
If you are about to get in to World of Warships for the first time or thinking about coming back. Please look into what is going on with the game and make the best choice for yourself. There is currently a very controversial Carrier rework being released. There are good arguments on both sides with the new system and the old system and the plans on how it is implemented. So if you are joining or returning be advised that Wargaming themselves have stated that it will take several patches and possibly months before then can expect it to be balanced. And if you return you will be a tester so be careful with the money you spend because you might be using premium time to do testing or buy a ship that is not the same ship in a month or two. I am just saying buyer beware and educate yourself. Because there are allot of bias people that will sell you a bridge in Brooklyn.
The version of the F6c shown in the video does not have a P&W wasp as this was a radial engine. Only one prototype was made with the wasp afaik and it would look quite different
I've been to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola and yes the F6c does have the Pratt & Whitney wasp engine it just doesn't look like it because it was sitting at the bottom of the ocean for more than 40 years
It's like Discovery's old "Wings" series. Heavy in data and technical specs. Notably better focus then Discovery channels old show. And your going to make us wait at least a week for part 2 aren't you. Uh hum..yep, ya bums..
dear WG can we have a operation like battle of phillipphines sea or battle of midway? hundreds of aircraft in air fighting each other or attacking carriers? also more nightbattles :D
The F4F-3 did not have folding wings. The Brittish wanted folding wings and six rather that four guns as they felt the firepower of four was not enough, so the F4F-4 was built. It was heavier than the 3 reducing it's performance. In the Pacific it was found that against the Japanese aircraft four guns would have been good enough (the F8 Bearcat had only four) so the 3 would probably worked better in the Pacific. The lack of folding wings was not restricted to the F4F-3 the SBD Dauntless did not have folding wings either. On takeoff the pilot of the F4F had to manually retract the flaps (takeoff position) and the landing gear. At the start of flight the pilot was a very busy person. British carriers, due to their armored flight decks and enclosed hanger decks had less room than the more open US and Japanese carriers. Also why the F4U's made for the Royal Navy had about 12" taken off the wingtips so they would clear the deckhead of the RN carrier hanger deck.

I was there a few months ago A school students still volunteer at the museum.
the difference here is that AA can actually shoot the plane down BEFORE he torpedoes your ship

@@leehongjin6884 Not just the distance, but the size of the target also. It's like shooting down a mosquito with a pistol.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. The bravery of those early pioneers and those of today’s carrier pilots is impressive.
This is what iam talking about and love about Wows. The love of history. Keep the great video's comming.

Hands-down F4U Corsair is one of my favorites carrier based fighters.

I never knew the U.s had a military exercise bombing Pearl Harbor before they moved naval bases.
Actually it wasn't planned. General Mitchell, at the time, was pushing for a stronger Air Force. But most didn't think it would be useful in combat.

It always the same think. I don’t know why they do not imperial and metric system. It is not complicated and everyone is happy.
sorry boys, time to catch up to the rest of the world..lol
The guy talks about the inline engine (F6C-1), the 3D model is of an F6C-1, yet you say it uses the R-1340 (R for radial) as on the F6C-4???
