My Uncle Buddy was a crew captain on a Privateer during WW 2. He was killed after discharge from the US Navy in a private plane crash, 26 years old. His passenger was my moms second husband who was USMC at Iwo Jima. He passed a day later in the hospital. Dark day for my family for sure. RIP Buddy and Robert.
I grew up in Corpus Christi. They had training squadrons of those at Waldron Field NOLF. Commander John Waldron died leading the first torpedo bombing attack at the battle of Midway. Of all 14 planes that attacked one pilot was the sole survivor (no crew members).
There's a Privateer at Yank's Air Museum, Chino, CA. Currently static display only. It was converted to a Forest Service air tanker at some point. The last time I saw it, there was still orange phoscheck on the belly.
Brett Lloyd i think that was a B 25 Mitchell by the Italian gun crew on an ex-Italian navy submarine at the time serving with the Japanese navy, it's interesting because the crew was made up of Germans, Japanese and Italians.
Using your link I've installed this aircraft (the 4.12 version) into the VP modpack, including the "3D Improvements", skins, missions, etc. Plane runs successfully in the game, except it doesn't look anything like what you have on this video. Instead what I have is an old looking version with different textures and a low-polygon render, including the low-poly "octagon" engine cowlings. Also, none of the blisters are on the nose, and it has a regular B-24 front turret instead of the bigger, rounder version on the PB4Y. In fact, the screenshots on the download page only show this "old" version, again nothing at all like the aircraft shown in this video. A Google search has turned up nothing. Where did you get this model?
Just an FYI... check your facts & read some books on the subject before correcting others. Alan C. Carey has some excellent books on the PB4Y-2, read his book 'Above an Angry Sea' and you'll find PLENTY of examples (with photographic evidence & crew reports, etc) of Privateers going after surface ships. Low-level anti-shipping was their bread & butter - it's what the Privateer was designed to do.

Nice video, loved that fight with the H8K - reminded me of that famous series of photos of a VPB-117 PB4Y-1 sending one down.

A polka dot one flew out of Coeur d’Alene.
Awesome. My Dad was on a PB4y2 Radio operator , Thahx
My Dad was a top turret gunner. VPB 109
Wow, the sounds are amazing, especially the interior.
Nice aircraft, I had a plastic model of it once from Matchbox.
A privateer was the last american aircraft shot down during ww2 in august 1945 just after the atomic bomb drops

I actually got a model of this plane. I even nicknamed it "Hobo's Delight".
Wow! They must have been shooting some pretty big cannons at the Privateer by the looks of the tail!
You know its a game yeah...???
@@nigelsmith7366 ~sigh~ They must have been shooting some pretty big *virtual* cannons at the Privateer by the looks of the tail!
That No. 4 engine is coming out of your paycheck skipper.
Man those gunners sure have trouble hitting a stable craft.
Wow... nice animation! So how long does it take you to create a set of scenes like this?
it's a game though
Very nice picture !
keep up the good work
My grandfather flew in X505 "Redwing" with VPB 123
Have to raise the BS flag on that torpedo attack from 1,000 feet. There's no way that torpedo survives water impact intact.
It seemed off to me as well.

Just an FYI... The PB4Y-2 was used for ASW (anti submarine warfare) not surface ships. AD3 USN.

They were also used for scouting due to the very long range.
