The Greatest Bomber Planes of The 20th Century
It was now a download today Coming up on the Greater Denver Latest high tech terminator. And go flying in world war two classic. Also on our list died bonos bomber and you'll hear what it's like to drop the biggest form of all. It's huge. Massive explosion It turns the Pacific from night today. Military experts and write to Tom Clancy will cut it like it is. Well, yeah, the old thing is that the movies and bomber pilots make history. We'll also meet the pilots and crew. Who's taken these planes to Helen Bank? But the flag was horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. Really I think that's what everyone wants to do. Glee is completely obstacles but surprisingly effective. The British royal navy's fairy swordfish tour pedobear is an anomaly. It had no right to be in World War two at all. Everything about it screams 1980. It's not that The prettiest airplane in the world but it's very nice to fly. You have to look at that airplane love because it was a hell of an airplane to fly and a time when it should have been flying at all. I've moved. Because of its multiple bracing wires that held the wings together Pilot observer and a gunner under cover of darkness rode into the harbor at Toronto and caused enormous damage to the enemy fleet. It was a textbook example of what the swordfish was there to do. Goggles and flying helmets firmly fastened. They're the greatest ever. Got some airtime in a very rare and airworthy swordfish Great airplane to fly and almost take your hands off and feed off the rutters and it turns at a pedestrian speed of 225 km an hour precisely because it was slow and steady. Rock steady. You can probably be precisely where you want to be. Launch it will be there. Know that it's going to launch from Small escort carriers and fold them forward for flying Amazing pieces of work anyway. High strength, steel locking pain, keep the winds where they're supposed to be during flight. And like all carrier-based aircraft, the surface was designed to stop in 6 months. Would it tail hook down the pilot Fine royal? A swordfish put a crippling torpedo into the steering wheel. Hey, aircraft gunners not the very slow flying swordfish from the skies swordfish were as white One of them survived to drop the torpedoes that hit this march rutter. Let's steaming in circles the royal navy moved into the kill and finished off the Bizmark was dropped as a torpedo bomber. Because it was getting slaughtered by enemy fighters No matter how dangerous it was, they went in and got shot down. It's a charge of a light brigade. Dropping torpedoes was it Forte? The flip side of it was that once you'd dropped your tilt today you were very likely to be shot down Is very interesting commentary in the quality and the courage of the of British flight cruise and took it off carriers We've got nine more awesome aircraft coming your way including the nuclear bomber that starred in the James Terrifying symbol of Nazi power The sticker displayed tonic efficiency both in delivering bombs and in scaring the crap out of the people it was attacking looks like that. Thank goodness. I think the sticker looks like a mean aircraft. It's like an angry eagle died. Rollover Poland Holland Coordination was brand new and highly successful during World War two the combined arms aspect the pilots were By diving on the target at a low-level pilot could accurately release the bonds. A very short distance from the target. I can't think of any aircraft that was more perfectly suited for its place in history than the stooka Me operational standpoint. It was a very effective and precise dive bomber. You're essentially aiming at the target. And releasing the bomb at the optimum point Stupid could come down and almost in a vertical aspect to hit his target other bombers, of course, couldn't to be as accurate with a bowl that doesn't have any kind of guide the system die forming is the best way to do it and the deepest you can dive it and aim it at the target the more chance you have a success Accurate and stable in the dive. It was one of those aircraft that you could put into a very steep dive. And it would not accelerate. Let's do that was also the first farmer to actively use a terrifying form of psychological warfare. But throughout insult to injury with typically German humor if you are. They added an AA siren that made the things scream like a bench it came down and they knew they were going to get bombs very soon everybody leaped to clean the credit for it And I suspect it was some smart mechanic who put a sweater on the airplane and then everybody took the credit. German and engineers realized that in a near-vertical attack the Stuker could infer knock off its own propeller with its bomb a special bomb cradle of course with a breakthrough in the Releasing it down here outside of the propellers park so that was important of course for accuracy but also to maintain the safety of keeping it from hitting the propeller Right after bomb release the stooker would pull up steeply putting five or six times before the gravity on the pilot at this point most pilots were suffering from G and G's blackout but they're stupid was designed to automatically pull out of the dive pulled out of it to dive at about 1400 The aircraft limitations became glaringly apparent Superiority was lost they were in trouble Kinda like kicking a baby seal. After being shot out of the skies over Britain. And reassigned to the Russian front with a new road Hey Facebook this dive bomber was just playing nasty number eight on our list of the greatest ever bombers is the remarkable World War one Italian heavy bomber. The Caproni CA 36. The Caproni certainly is an example of teaching bombing probably the first and probably the most effective of its type. It wasn't beautiful. It certainly wasn't graceful. But it was functional. It looks So crude and so unusual but really it was advanced technology for the time. It's 1915, 12 years after the right brother's first flight and the Caproni flying from Italy over the out and hitting Austrian target 770 kg. Historically significant this first generation bomber was a new weapon and it fired the imaginations of military thinkers To do so and I've had remarkable successes. Because it could carry a ton of bombs. And generally speaking, it didn't cause any awkward damage. He was an effective actor. They conducted and made arguably the most successful strategic air campaign in Wolverine and its largely unknown Strategic missions and from that through the American strategic moment tradition although the Caproni looks fragile And there was no such thing as a comfortable flight for these men. Crossing the Alps in winter. Exposed cockets are absolutely balling. They're American pilots who came back and described it. They said there were no trim tabs on that airplane. So you had to fly that Mission with your elbows stuck in your stomach holding the stick forward with a constant weight on your hand all the time. There's nothing good that you could say about the comfort level except when I got you back on the ground. The airplanes are literally held together by wire and they're covered in fabric and top shoes this airplane is the kind of courage it must have taken to get inside these airplanes without the safety production that pilots have now flown at High Altitude in the freezing cold were one thing but the Caproni was also the opposite of Streamlined making it very very slow. The captain was not fast. You'd get it up to 80 miles an hour as soon as you could have to take off and that was it. It's one of those airplanes that people said tended to antagonize there rather than pass through it. The dragon while those things are enormous. So 80 miles an hour about it. An acronym has taken and even peculiar. It was a well-designed airplane. And the Italian Air Force was fond of this bomber. Keeping it in service until 1929. Shall we Long mission it was hell on its cruise the number seven bummer on our left has a style of a camp German engineering and that daring-do approach of the British. No surprise really because this bomber was a 1979 British Italian and German co-production tornado in the Mid 80s and it was a phenomenal place. It was god's smackingly impressive. The ride at low level is Rock-solid the tornado can also carry some 8000 kg of bums A very capable aircraft in terms of the weapon loaded to carry and the delivery accuracy of the bombs that it can do it could carry on the aircraft to find out what makes his unique wing tornado GR four so special Vertical but it comes with a price Hammer down is what this jet loves to do A tornado just four is a very powerful aircraft. Just on her own. She can get airborne with 28 and a half including fuel and with afterburners is capable of going 2.2 times the speed of sound. Using terrain-following radar Kilometers per hour at treetop level and the second one's a frame following radar Aircraft 600 knots to rain following at night in weather So pilots like Jim Beck where they're never out of fashion runway accessory the Jeezy and it squeezes you from the bottom of the suit initially pushing the blood up through the legs and into your tummy from your tummy Squeeze or six-packs. For most of us and at that stage then that keeps the blood up into the head and that is predominantly where you need to keep it. The tornado participated in some of the most dangerous missions of operation desert storm in 1991. Specializing in hitting Iraqi airfields. The Iraqi Had huge airfields that were very difficult to close down and the tornado could do it. In that first week, we lost five tornadoes. A low-level aircraft coming through you just opened fire straight up down that little guy with a rifle can shoot at you. Take me very bad luck. Jim back was just a kid during the first Gulf War but he was over by Dad the night of the latest area light show in 2003 to design to shoot down About 20 mi away successful and capable but the tornado doesn't really know what it is wants to be. A bomber or a fighter Time. We make a flip of a switch and go fighter if they want. If they have to. But really was designed to attack Bomber. All airplanes out of the tornado include suffering when they really have more than one role and in this case, it has four or five rules and so if you really want to have a greater air spirit already fighter you'd Trim off some of these other roles and tailor it to that. So then set to a capable airplane as a fighter. Note there's a bomber. The good airplane will kill me today. Low and fast and exposed. The tornado is injectable trades but a true master of none. The highly versatile Number six on our list of the greatest ever the British nuclear bomber and star of the James Bond film Thunderball Mind stopping. You look at the airplane and you think, my God, what a beautiful airplane. Incredible machine. Absolutely incredible. So, turn the neck off as big as that. So, the sound and the power of the oval combs are marvelous that I plan to show off in. I mean, you know, over there shows and things like that. It was tremendous. The triangular or delta wind valve and grew out of the RES need for a nuclear attack bomber that could go the distance Moscow and back first showing off the very fashionable nuclear flash white the Volcan went operational in 1960 a could carry 10 thousand kg of nuclear or conventional bonds equivalent to 12 families The average welcome was a phenomenon for his age. Here we got a huge pure delta and is going to operate 60 thousand feet and be a nuclear penetrator, that's what it was designed to do. Do that wonderfully well. Wonderfully well. The vote Kilos of rust giving a maximum speed approximately .95 Mac four 1000 km an hour characteristics of a fighter The aircraft is very maneuverable and assert me during a payday. The contemporary fight just couldn't not outturn it. Height. We had an exercise in Australia. Where they have miracles, aircraft, and we were in a turning back or with a miracle around 45 thousand feet and we kept turning and he gave up. The Delta Wing configuration of the Volton was its most distinctive feature. But it wasn't just for show. The Vulcan is an appealing aircraft both aesthetically and from an engineering logical standpoint. The thickness of that wing allows you to house a lot of things inside of it. Thank you for reading.
