@@airwarchronicles And then there´s "Duel of eagles" by Peter Townsend. Also a very well researched book on the battle as a whole. With a lot of individual stories and wider perspective on the events leading up to the battle.
Really excellent work here- You've made an extremely complex and intense days fighting understandable. Reading books, however well written, is one thing, but this is a subject which cries out for visual assistance, and you're doing it proud. The additional archive photos are really helpful, too. Looking forward to part 3!
Just 5 days after Eagle Day. Interesting use of gaming vid and historic photos to recreate a specific battle. Note the dominant presence of Spitfires taking on the Me109s. Well done!
Many thanks for this instalment which is of particular interest as I am typing this in my home about a mile from Ford aerodrome and only a little further away from Poling
@@airwarchroniclesA couple of warehouses used as an indoor sports arena and a children’s play area - both pretty well used There is also a transport depot for a local company There is also a waste disposal facility and an open prison but these might be outside of the historic airfield - open to guidance on this There is currently a regular market on what could be one of the runways with a Hawker Hunter gate guardian However work has recently started on building a new village of about 1,500 houses and facilities on the site so it is about to change radically The good news locally is that the two businesses in the warehouses should stay and there should be improvements to a couple of local roads as part of the development So if you want to see it in anything like its historic status come quickly!!!👍
Great job on part 2- I am enjoying your attention to detail and use of historical photos with the 3d recreation. Congrats, obviously a labor of love we are all benefitting from! Cheers and looking forward to future work-thank you.
Aahhh finally,, this reminds me of the Movie 🎥 Training Day where the entire context of the film is about 1day,, and this too ( BOB) was a day which could’ve been the deciding moment of the war for Britain 🇬🇧,, I can only marvel of the Bravery and stamina of all these marvelous aircrews!! Rest in peace Ancient Warriors!🫡❤❤❤❤
Very interesting. I like the matching of period photos to events. You might want to look at your pronunciation of 'Solent'; the stress is on the first syllable: 'Soh·lənt. Other than that very minor gripe, most enjoyable.
Excellent! Don't worry about pronunciation. British place-names aren't easy to pronounce, and it gets worse when it comes to the the airfields (Tangmere, etc.). I struggle with those myself, and I'm English.
Wonderful. Thanks for The End of the Stuka section. Strange how 'innocent' you tubers become Wehraboos - see the eulogy of the Stuka elsewhere: it was next to useless given its gross inefficiency - and 25% on target bombs being classed as 'accurate' [Wiki]
@@airwarchronicles It's pronounced 'So' 'Lent'. It's a most importent area in Bitish Naval folk lore. I thought You sounded British so I was most suprised, glad You are not AI cobber! :-)
@ They had cannon fitted in June 1940 to Mk Ib's - before hte BoB started! Used by 19 Sqn but found to be very unreliable so they went back to machineguns until they could fix some of hte problems.
Sorry, but i cannot bear animation. If you can’t source genuine footage, don’t bother. Just give us the story, not the pretendy, still a little boy stuff.
Its simulation footage from IL-2 cliffs of Dover. Probably the closest form of media you can get without real footage which there isn’t much of available.
The Hardest Day continues - Share your thoughts!
I read the book by Albert Price. It´s a fascinating story to say the least.
@@willy_wombat One of the better air combat books I've read

@@airwarchronicles Looking forward towards your video.
Thoughts only of this brilliant work 👏
Outstanding, well researched and superb presentation. Very informative and most enjoyable. Thank you!!!!
Well Done! Looking forward to Part 3 of this story.
Superbly done, great narration, and fantastic use of CLoD and historical photos! Brilliant job
The word 'Superb' somehow seems inadequate of what you have done here, but I thank You SO much!.
Really capturing! I loved it! Well done for these 2 videos! More videos on the Battle of Britain please !
Part 3 is in the works as we speak
Good work looking forward to see it
This 3D recreation is mind-blowing-it’s like traveling back in time to the skies over England and truly feeling the intensity of that pivotal day.
Really excellent work here- You've made an extremely complex and intense days fighting understandable. Reading books, however well written, is one thing, but this is a subject which cries out for visual assistance, and you're doing it proud.

Superb - great action sequences. Thanks for posting.
Cracking video - can't wait for part 3! Would also love to see one about the Augsburg raid please
Amazing series. My favourite so far. Keep up the good work mate
@@ChrisArgent-d7p glad you enjoyed
Great content. Love to see it.
Absolutely excellent, you should be proud of this episode and series in general.
Thankyou Remus!
Best series ! Nice to see so many planes at the same time
Beauty, thanks for all the time and effort to make these. Looking forward to Pt 3. =)
Its in the work right now
Amazing work! Love your content, and the care that you put into it shows!
Appreciate the feedback!
Excellent video and you can see the production value. well done
Many thanks for this instalment which is of particular interest as I am typing this in my home about a mile from Ford aerodrome and only a little further away from Poling
😮 wow I wonder how the airfield looks today
@@airwarchroniclesA couple of warehouses used as an indoor sports arena and a children’s play area - both pretty well used
There is also a transport depot for a local company
There is also a waste disposal facility and an open prison but these might be outside of the historic airfield - open to guidance on this
There is currently a regular market on what could be one of the runways with a Hawker Hunter gate guardian
However work has recently started on building a new village of about 1,500 houses and facilities on the site so it is about to change radically
The good news locally is that the two businesses in the warehouses should stay and there should be improvements to a couple of local roads as part of the development
So if you want to see it in anything like its historic status come quickly!!!👍
Outstanding video. I look forward to part 3!!
Great video. Easy to watch and enjoy.
Can't wait for Part 3!!

Brilliant videos
Hey keep up the hard work 😘
Thank you!!👍

Thank you.
Extraordinary...the BEST I ever seen...sometimes it seems its REAL....GREAT JOB...WELL DONE...👍👍👍
Good video.
Poor Luftwaffe intel. They repeatedly bombed the Tedington sewage works thinking it was a fuel storage facility.
I bet that the Luftwaffe targeteer was in the sh*t.
Very interesting. I like the matching of period photos to events.
You might want to look at your pronunciation of 'Solent'; the stress is on the first syllable: 'Soh·lənt. Other than that very minor gripe, most enjoyable.
@@PedroConejo1939 thanks noted
Simulator is IL2 Clifs of Dover. Nice!
Excellent! Don't worry about pronunciation. British place-names aren't easy to pronounce, and it gets worse when it comes to the the airfields (Tangmere, etc.). I struggle with those myself, and I'm English.
What?!? Why are fighter aircraft cruising with their landing gear down?
what game was this filmed in?
IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover
Excelent animation of the battle. Please in the next edition do not forget to draw the swastika on the tail of the German planes
@@jdjimenezvelazquez5573 thanks! If you check the end of the video there is an answer for you, but I shall try
Nice video well done re enacting with computer games
Wow
The Solent is pronounced rather like So lent , not S'lent. Great videos though :)
@@郑颍 I realise now too late! But thanks
The Germans don't like it up em .Not as easy as Poland hey mate .

Again what wasn’t covered in the “Battle of Britain” movie.
Did you have a point?
0:55 How can a supposedly native speaker of English so murder the name of 'The Solent'? Is it really AI ????
@@alphalunamare Im aware of this discrepancy now, but Im not from the UK so its a relatively obscure thing to know as an Aussie
@@airwarchronicles It's pronounced 'So' 'Lent'. It's a most importent area in Bitish Naval folk lore. I thought You sounded British so I was most suprised, glad You are not AI cobber! :-)
TWO SECTION SCRAMBLE!!!!
I can see that covers what couldn’t be covered or was compressed in the 1969 “Battle of Britain” movie.
If only early Spitfires and Hurricanes had cannons.
They didn't need them, they weren't shooting at tanks!
@@williamclifford4441 yeah they did - even in 1939 they knew that rifle-caliber machineguns were marginal vs any armour at all.
Spitfire s had cannons later on, but because of how thin the wings where they had to placed sideways resulting of them jamming. 😅
@ They had cannon fitted in June 1940 to Mk Ib's - before hte BoB started!
Used by 19 Sqn but found to be very unreliable so they went back to machineguns until they could fix some of hte problems.

You need to see a hearing specialist .
Aaah SHADDAP !
Six Lewis guns. God, the Crab Creams were useless
Pronunciation is bloody awful.
