il2 Sturmovick (GB).Typhoon, the Unsung Hero,& The pilots who flew in them.

#il2#normandy#typhoon
The Hawker Typhoon was pressed early into service during the war because it was the only aircraft at the time that could not only keep up with the new Fockle Wulf 190, but it could also catch it,From the Normandy landings into a three month period 666 Pilots ,56% of all Typhoon pilots lost their lives in action over France ,Holland,and Germany flying dangerous low level sorties,tank busting ,attacking goods trains and military targets,at that low level the flak would have been murderous,Typhoon pilots were mostly volunteres from other squadrons flying spits and hurricanes, There is no memorial to these brave men and women who flew and paid the untimate sacrafice, many of us think there should be.,the supreme commander in chief Dwight D Eisenhower, said the chief credit in smashing the enemy sprearhead must go to the rocket firing Typhoon of the second tactical air force, the result of the strafing was that the enemy attack was effectivley brought to a halt,and a threat was turned into a great victory. There will soon be a Typhoon taking to the skys again from the Typhoon preservation group, then may these brave men and womens endevors never be unsung and Hawker Typhoon MK1B , RB396 will be their flying memorial ,my thanks go out to them all. warbirdsnews.co... hawkertyphoon....

Always a pleasure to see the Typhoon hard at work. The men who flew her deserve much praise for their guts and tenacity. Well done!!

Thanks for no commentary!

My late father in law told me of a time in France when he saw a typhoon blow the turret off a tiger tank, ha said there were ball bearings running down the street.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

i can bielive that,thats why after normandy all tanks stayed camoflaged and stayed in the hedgerows, because they new if they were spotted by a typhoon they were toast.

[@tiagodagostini]

@@skidzholeshot1316 Well historically they were in danger but not toast. Post war assessments show that the accuracy of rocket strikes was under 17% success ratio. So dangerous for the tank, but not a death sentence when spotted by a single plane.

Thank You!

thank you also

[@jefftrischuk7909]

Your maneuvering could be much better if you use rudder. You like to climb and bank over to begin your runs, throw in rudder to bring your nose around. Happy hunting!!!

[@waltergreif4836]

Wondering if damaging the tracks ahead of the train would derail the lot; have not seen that damage modeling yet!!

[@skidzholeshot1316]

ive tried it and the train goes through but a few carriges will come off, it shows in this vid ua-cam.com/video/GpxWq1Iq7MM/v-deo.html

What a classy plane innit?

This looks like the Hawker Typhoon. Sure u got the right plane here?

this is the Hawker Typhoon???i get it you were on the drink last night lol

2:45 ???

[@skidzholeshot1316]

if your aircraft is not staying over the tanks they re-set and start from the tree line again mad i know,i was going to put a question mark on screen at this bit saying stealth mode lol

[@CJB-]

Once again a Brit aircraft with munitions from the USA. If I'm not mistaken those are sidewinders under it's wings.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

these are ww2 british RP3 ungiuded 60lb warhead rockets,not modern sidewinders at $400.000 a time

[@CaptLawrence]

You are in fact mistaken.

[@romaniachin6751]

nice flying poor landing, need to flare - roll out smoothly & break smoother - overreacted with rudder as well! But it's not easy even if you know how 2 ;)

[@skidzholeshot1316]

i9 have thrustmaster t1600 with throttle and paddle rudder donr have foot rudders yet, brit planes braking and using rudder at same time is difficult on this set up,ill get it one day,thanks.

[@romaniachin6751]

@@skidzholeshot1316 ah yes same with Ussr Yak's but they are easy to land imo... I have got dedicated left/right break button & when breaking you need to use less rudder that's how i do it... ;)

What brave women do you mean? There were no female combat pilots to my knowledge. Do you mean the women who ferried plans from factories to front line bases?

[@skidzholeshot1316]

yes the ATA the women who ferried all kinds of aircraft ,many of them died ferrying Typhoons.and they certainly were brave, ferrying lancasters Typhoons etc ,without evr flying one before all they had was the flight manuel to look at and off they went.

[@toytrain2355]

Poor evasion tactics.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

how do you tactically avoid flack;? normally if i dont kill the aa on a train,then i expect to take hits,no matter how i evade,even grass cutting ,they are at eye lvl with you,only if there are lots of trees do we get away without a heavy damage,ive tried many ways,and ill keep trying.

[@manricobianchini5276]

Nice video, but there is no such thing as an iL2 Sturmovik Typhoon.
