I didn't see any fails. Just a lot of brave men bringing in their craft as best they could, and the terrific action of their deck crews...
Agree. And there's at least one fail, however small, in every takeoff, flight, and landing.
Tend to agree. And feel extreme sorrow for the ones that didn't survive the landing
@@ferdinandvries4032 I felt very humble and very sad by the end. 👍🏻
agreed
Love your comment. So true.
Anyone else notice how brave those guys on the deck are? Combat soldiers and pilots got all the interviews in documentaries but those guys on the deck are the ones running into the fire to rescue those exhausted pilots.
7:45 look at the guy left. wow
seegurke93.That guy deserves a medal! Because at great risk to his own life -he attempted to buy time to save the pilot (and ship).
The prop was just inches away as he ducked in with the extinguisher. Incredible bravery.
Unsung heroes
Jibriltz think of all the times that happened with no film crew recording? True unsung heroes.
My hat is off to these pilots.
Literally.
I'm not wearing my hat right now.
I didn't even adorn a hat before viewing
So metaphorically
@@youriefavre9003 no, literally. Although I did put my hat on later.
@@alexriesenbeck You lack imagination sir.
I read your and Michael's comments and immediately put my bob hat on whilst I considered these theses.
As i concur with the original statement I shall now .............and it is done, remove it again.
"Introducing the safety barrier"
- well that doesn't look safe to me
Better then flying off the deck
@@intellectualbaguette7507 water's not dangerous but taking your wheels out is. And it's *than.
1. Planes didn't fly anywhere close to that fast when they were landing. 100mph is equal to 45m/second and the aircraft carriers were about 200m and the runways even shorter. And we clearly see from the footage that the planes didn't finish the runway in 4 seconds.
2. If they were flying at 100mph they would have been easily made a pull around.
3. The planes would have sunk slowly giving the pilot plenty of time to get out.
4. Even If the water was cold the human could survive surprisingly long time. The passengers of RMS Titanic could have survived about 30 minutes in the water before dying.
@@deltavgaming3447 im fine but you have to understand that the waters werent cold. And you could survive maybe hours there if not eaten by a shark. Also the crew on the carrier could be rescuing you within a 1 minute of that happening.
The net could easily caused a fire or an explosion. If not already killed the pilot while flipping over or the engine pushing through the pilot.
Let's just call it an even.
But you surely are one of the people who was stopped by the net and hit your head pretty hard while doing flips with you airplane.
Poor WW2 pilots. Went on a long mission, tired, wounded, still have to find the carrier (a lot through calculations and maths !!!!), and then land damaged airplanes... What heroes.
Only 1 in ten naval aviator in WWII saw actual combat.
vonjager not true
@@vonjager that is complete nonsense, of the combatant nations, nearly every single one was desperate for pilots by 1944, and sent many out with less than 5 hours flight time in their designated aircraft. Virtually every aviator flew at least one combat sortie except in the final waning days of the war.
Maybe you are referring to the statistic that only 1 in 10 pilots achieved an aerial victory in combat. Bearing in mind that dive bomber, torpedo bomber, recon, and rescue planes are also naval aviators.
@@vonjager WTF are you talking
No GPS then and if you still had a working compass you didn't know if your carrier task force had changed course since you took off hours before. I presume they had to maintain course and speed toward the air strike's target for precisely that reason but what if a Japanese submarine appeared? When the pilots left Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown for the Midway attack they didn't know if their floating airfields would still be floating when they returned. For some Japanese pilots, they weren't!
I have great respect for these young men running fast without any fear to save the pilots. These are what real heroes look like.
6:13 That's some mighty fine flying right there.
Couldn't have executed it better
"a good landing is where you can walk away from"
- _i forgot the person's name_
...¿Joe McCuack, DuckTales?
Gotta add swim away from to that
Was just thinking that exact same thing.
aro algezion skipper
If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. Chuck Yeager (first man to break the sound barrier).
Back in the 1960s I think it was I watched a film clip of carrier landings with Dad. One fellow came in spinning and everything tore off but the cockpit. It was an epic crash. Dad got excited. He had witnessed that landing. He said when the deck crew got to it they leaned over and puked. There was red all over the deck. Fortunately it was hydraulic fluid, not blood. The pilot merrily hopped out without a scratch on him. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
If the plane is on the ground and your alive then you landed
Someone else mentioned "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any landing you can also reuse the aircraft, is a great one. "
@@jolene_simz You're a troll and an idiot.
How old are you
Oh my goodness John! Horrifying! Thank goodness it was only hydraulic fluid! Aircraft carrier landings are some of the most dangerous activity in the military; but I have learned a lot from watching countless movies like the one above, and am relieved that today's aircraft have FOUR cables for their tail-hook to catch, (and they must catch the 3rd one, at 150+mph!) It is precision flying at low speed and a high angle of attack. It is the definitive skill that sets carrier pilots apart from all others. It makes me so stressed when I hear a pilot, perhaps low on fuel, with a problem, and he just MUST make that first try to get on that deck! I know how well trained they are BEFORE they go to a carrier, but sometimes, s**t happens and they go into the drink. I always get upset at that! (I know they usually get them out, but there goes that multi-million-dollar jet, to the bottom.)
It takes the precise cooperation of the deck people and the pilots to accomplish that difficult task of landing on a carrier. We wish them ALL, HAPPY LANDINGS and SAFE deck work!
Things got just a little bit safer after a British Naval officer came up with the idea of the angled flight deck in the early 1950s. Overshooting the deck and dropping in the sea was off to one side avoiding being run over by the ship.
My friends grandad served on a carrier in WW2. A plane dropped into the water and was run over, but the pilot made it out and survived as he overshot far enough to get out without being run over
Or.....with no aircraft parked in front of you you could advance the throttle and fly off the other end.
@@kdrapertrucker Usually, yes, but if the arrestor cable breaks while it's arresting you, you might not be able to reach flying speed again before going off the deck. Either way, the angled flight deck is a lifesaver.
Total bravery, pilots, aircrew, and men on deck, and also the camera men filming all the close calls, our highest respect to all of them, thanks for posting this.
We must NEVER forget the bravery and determination of the flight and deck crew that gave so much for all of us.

"Never fly the A model of anything" - Pilot Edward Thompson
Chippyho123 if everyone followed Thompson’s logic we wouldn’t have aviation. We would be a bunch of cowardly landlubbers.
what about the fw190a
Neil Armstrong never said that
@@truckindave1 Armstrong wasn't in the A model when he landed on the moon.
@@ROGER2095
I know. Maybe I should have said "he would never have said that".
I remember was I was watching the moon landing. I was eight years old in Nacogdoches, TX watching a B&W tv.
I am continually overwhelmed with admiration for the people who served in combat roles during WW ll. The unimaginable physical, mental, and emotional stress through which they persevered. My Dad is one of them, RAF 1936-1946, B of B, Africa, Malta, France, Belgium, as aero engine crew. Today’s service people no longer fight for honourable causes. They fight for profiteering corporate interests who hide behind the images of past glories.
my dad also RAF. WWII.
As a Vietnam era vet, I fully agree with you. Vietnam, and now Afghanistan, were never meant by our government to be won. Our men and women died just so corporate America could get richer and richer. In the end, NOTHING was accomplished but the loss of thousands of innocent American lives....and for what? And what about the billions of dollars in arms and equipment that was abandoned and left to the enemy for them to use? All so totally STUPID on the part of the American government and it's leaders.
The Greatest Generation, mostly passed on now. May they rest in peace, their battles over.
I feel fortunate to have been alive and to have met so many of the greatest generation. Sad that they are mostly all gone.
I’m sad I didn’t meet much any of them
@@tommygallagher5747 if they had seen the end result ,what the elite they helped gain even more power have done to their nations ,many would have said fuck it fight your own damn war
@@kurtmogensen4815 Perhaps.
The "greatest generation" seems to me a misnomer of sorts. They were the ones who, instead of whipping the hide off their college aged children, let the lefties have them. The results were the filthy, stupid hippies who gave rise to the millennials, and now look at things.
I won't blame an entire generation, but I will blame the entire human race for having allowed all this crap to happen in the first place. And Americans are the most guilty of all.
People complain about tyranny. Well guess what: WE are the reason for it, not the tyrants, who are mere symptoms of a far deeper cancer.
@@andrewvida3829 Ah yes, the whole "millennial" argument.
Proudly left and proudly able to ignore the intolerance of the generations before me. My respect to the men and women conscripted into wars they wanted no part in, but less respect to for the children born afterwards that act like they had some part in it.
If the planes on the ground and the pilots alive it’s a successful landing
THAT'S ME IN WAR THUNDER
Cowerdnerd Despacito too bad there no ground for hundreds of nautical miles
With the hellcats they flew it's amazing if no parts got torn off landing
Walk away: good landing. Use plane again immediately: great landing.

Pilot at 2:50 casually dives into raging Pacific like its a backyard kiddie pool. Talk about stones on these guys.
Yeah got a kick out of that too. Just strolls out onto the wing, takes in the view, and slips into the big pond. One of the lucky ones.
William Koppos I would think that he probably had a better chance getting away from the plane for when it starts going down would have sucked him down with it like a small ship. He had his life vest on so he was good in the water.
Warm water, life preserver, with tons of ships around. My kids are braver going off the high diving board.
They did this to make America free. Now we let the liberal snowflakes shit on my fathers memory , this SJW and globalist commie shit MUST STOP

My dad served on one of those baby flat tops during WW2. He was a quartermaster and boatswains mate on the USS Long Island. CVE-1. These mishaps happened often, especially in training new pilots.
Very much respect for those WWII pilots and all the crews that were involved.
This footage is simply amazing! My grandfather was a crew chief for an sb2c hell diver in ww2. Its always been a struggle to find almost any wartime footage of them in flight or landing. I wish my grandfather was still around so I could show him this. I remember growing up and him telling me stories, me going to the library looking through stacks of books for more information on that plane to my dismay almost none of the books had anything on it, and the ones that had anything were just mentions of it or maybe a picture or two. The other planes on his carrier were more prominent and there are tons of info on them, like the f4u corsair, f6f Hellcat, f4f wildcat,OS2U kingfisher which reminded.me.of the helldiver but with floats as a kid. I remember him telling me at the end of the war he could have bought his plane for $1 per hi that its engine made. Idk if this was true, but that would have been a hell of an investment seeing as there are only a few in existence now compared to most the other planes I mentioned. Of course I understand that even at $1,000 that was a fortune back then.
So there is actually absolute LOADS of footage of this stuff so I don’t know what you are talking about there. The Navy had a thing where if you were coming in for a rough landing they would record it. They did this throughout WW2 so that they could learn from their mistakes and better adapt landing procedures.
These were brave SOB's.. sad to think most of them have passed by now.. but I am grateful for their service! Amen..
So true..dying daily by the hundreds..Americas finest going home one last time!
That was amazing to watch. Thank you to all of those brave pilots who are trying to do so much with such little technology. True heroes!
I remember listening to ww2 vets talking about there experiences in the 70s and 80s. They all loved it and looked back fondly as they discribed their adventures. There isnt the same sense of adventure and heroism now.
War stories are rarely completely truthful. Nobody who has actually been in a war wants to talk about the fear, horror and suffering. So they remember the good things and edit the other stuff so it doesn't hurt so much. War stories are how we cope with an experience no man should have to suffer. No doubt they were true heroes and should be celebrated as such. But we all edit our histories to come up with a past we can live with. One problem with PTSD today is that the images of war are so quickly made public and so irreversable that it is hard for soldiers to reconcile their memories.
My great uncle Fred came back a completely changed man from World War 2. Sullen, rarely smiled, and had a hard time relating and becoming close with people. Fred was a navigator on a B-24 bomber. He was shot down over the Phillipines in 1944 and saw half his crew get mowed down before making back to American lines.
For him, his memories terrorized him until the day he died.
ww2 at 70s and 80s, how many drinks you all had or maybe you are just plain stupid.
@@mangoje9260 hes talking about WW2 veterans sharing their experiences during the 70's and 80's not that WW2 started during the 70's and 80's
@pyropulse Can you *not* call paying attention to PTSD "pussifying"?
Все эти летчики - герои!
It’s amazing to watch these men risk and loose their lives for someone like me, who wasn’t even born yet. So that I can be free. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have lived a good life as a result of the brave souls in this video....and many many others. Thank you all. Godspeed.
Seeing ground crew haul ass towards the damaged planes and sometimes even on fire planes makes me wish my generation was As great as the heroes in WWII. Much love
Austin Jeffris implying new grounds crews don’t do that for the high tech and expensive jets, not to mention back then they didn’t have rigorous training for sea landings so today’s world wouldn’t need that
NaziDoggo yes, they did have rigorous training
Brings home how brave these pilots were and the risks they faced
That's Michael Hordern doing the narration. One of the best voices ever, and my favourite Gandalf.
It’s satisfying seeing a pilot land on the carrier without much trouble.

This compilation takes "another happy landing" to a whole new level
6:13 I'm amazed a plane with a missing tail hook was able to stop by only using it's brakes.
He sure smoked 'em, though! That was a real heavy airplane, but one that had serious problems; it signaled the end of Curtis as a defense contractor. There were congressional hearings into the delays and cost overruns on the Helldiver after the war. They probably did OK given the demands to engineer, tool, and mass-produce a plane under wartime conditions. The plane managed to fulfill its mission but it wasn't a favorite of pilots by any means.
And the Helldiver was one of the heaviest embarked plane of the time!
The SB2C ... otherwise known as the SonofaBitch second class!
He did an impressive job bring it down with only smoked tires.
You all need to go watch the clip of them landing a C-130 on a carrier, just to see if it could be done. No arrestor gear. All brakes and reverse prop baby. Even loaded up it was doable.

Great video really shows how revolutionary and dangerous a concept aircraft carriers were in the early 20th century
Is the plane on the ground? ✅
Is the pilot alive? ✅
Perfect landing
1:59 The noise of a Pratt and Whitney R-2800-10W Double Wasp Engine. Just beautiful.
As most already mentionned it : these pilots did contributed for the safety improvements in this industry. They at balls of steel at this time.
It was "funny" and "tragic" at the same time.
And of course, all these guys on the deck... real heroes too !
6:30 That landing was pretty epic actually. The engine is smoking, the pilot probably has lower visibility because of it but still manages to land and stop the plane fast and seemingly without many major damage .
A moment of silence for all of those heroes who died in those accidents
*Amazing footage..God Bless our Veterans..God Bless America* 🇺🇸
Even in the best of weather with lots of wind coming over the deck, there is no such thing as a "rountine" trap. I have close to 1500 on three carriers and I can say without hesitation that I was never "relaxed" on a single one of them. Some, at night and in bad weather could make your heart pound so hard you could both feel it and hear it.
Steve Hammond, Thank you for your service Sir!
It sounds like a lot but that is really about average for someone who stayed in as long as I did (25 years) before I retired.
one question, did the men standing on the lower sides of the carriers airstrip ever get pummeled by the air craft that would land in that crevice?
Are you referring to the catwalks? The Tomcats were notorious for coming up too high on the power taxiing clear lf the LA (Landing Area) and several people have been literally blown out of the catwalks. Fortunately, there are steel nets on the outside of many of the catwalks. I was blown down several times after deplaning by fighter jocks who came up too high on the power.
1500 traps. man thayt's awesome1 send me a note if you ever plan to be in central nc. were you ever at Pax river?
7:35 Outstanding bravery by the deck crew sailor attempting to extinguish that fuel ignited fire and wearing no protective suit ! I have seen the rest of that clip and they got the pilot out of the cockpit alive.

Great video. Stunning images. Magnificent.
I respectfully suggest that everyone get the series Victory At Sea. It was produced in 1953/53 for television and consists of 26 thirty minute episodes and the footage is incredible. It is also famous for the magnificent musical score by Richard Rogers. It has been called the longest symphony ever written.

It's awesome seeing the deckhands rushing to a damaged plane to help the pilots. After the 'Mission Beyond Darkness' one plane desperate to land in the dark landed right after another and it plowed into deckhands and planes, killing 3 or 4 men. The poor pilot had to carry the burden of this the rest of his life.
These pilots not only had to fly to the target and head back at night time running low on fuel-they also had to crunch numbers with a pencil and knee pad to calculate the shortest route back. Incredible.
Woow fantastic video !! This is how landing looks back at the time 😄 Here is my 👍 and definitely sub
Angle flight decks really helped. Thank you Brits!
Yeah, watching so many of these planes hitting the island was awful.
I was a Radioman on a carrier(CVA-31) and one rainy night during flight ops I was on the island structure and looked down into a Douglas Skyraider cockpit. The pilot was a young ensign and must have just cleared the height requirements. I commented to myself that his mother would be terrified if she saw the scene I was watching.
