Code of Honor must be one of the best master tracks I ever heard in all my life, if someday I have the pleasure of hearing that track on live I'll cry.

Robin rulz 🤘👌

I’ve seen war footage films etc but THIS REALLY BRINGS HOME THE IMMENSE BRAVERY THESE MARVELS HAD,TRUELY THEY WERE OUR HEROES AND I WAS SO PROUD AND THANKFUL WHEN I HEAR THESE MEN TALKING SO CALMLY.I WONDER HOW THE AVERAGE LOUT OR BIKE THIEVING SCUMBAGS WOULD HAVE COPED,I KNOW ONE THING WE WOULD BE DOOMED.

Leider sind Einige nicht verständlich!

Came here 84 years from this recording. Via Twitter, following 'Second World War tweets from 1940'

"They're firing at us now." "Are they?" "Yeah." These men are cool under fire. It doesn't even bother them. Meanwhile, I watch people freak out and run away screaming from a spider.

Not very authentic. What about roger, over, They're saying OK OK.

You Canadians can stop blaming us Yanks. Your stupid politicians canceled it, not us.

Anyone today who thinks they're bad can't compare to these real badasses . Heros all , dead and living

Lots of comments highlighting their calm and poise. I think, particularly if you're British, you can hear some of the underlying stress in their tone of voice. In the first recording where the skipper says "oh hell" - there's a heck of a lot of tension in there. And when the bomber is saying "steady...steady...". And in the final recording where they all have to be quietened down after shooting down the fighter - you can really hear how much pressure they were under, and just how much effort it took to keep calm.

Fantastic video ! I like factory films like this in WW2

Snobby ignorance removed a great tactician. How many of the snobs personally flew to their air bases each week to check how the pilots were doing? Skipper did. As he points out, the smaller wings won the day on all 3 fronts he was involved with. One of the true heroes of the war. RIP Sir Keith Park. The world owes its freedom to you.

It is fucking Elder Scrolls!

on connaît Closterman et on l'admire. Son jugement, son regard, son courage. Mais son dernier commentaire sur 14-18 me fait plaisir car il y a longtemps que je pense que nos chefs militaires sont responsables de la tuerie. faire sortir des hommes armés d'une baïonnette face à des mitrailleuses ! Et il y a encore des places et des rues Joffre et consorts !

Just came across this....amazed by the coolness & courageous narrative, with the visually stunning pictures

Oh my god these men risked their lives for freedom and their beliefs , and I look today at so called Great Britain , shame shame .

This is the raw material which gave rise the works -- the sensibility --- of Shakespeare

The British and their solid brass cajones….

"I got him!" 😂

My Dad was a Halifax navigator. 58 missions. DFC.

the noobz who bombs civilians at night, how brave ??!! lol

Great man...

I learnt of John Jackson and the 75th about 60 years ago, he was a legend way back then.

They were just young men , love you forever

We love you forever and always will be in debt to you !

Least we forget! We shall never surrender

That third piece of audio is a classic - cut in wax by a BBC sound engineer stuffed in the rear fuselage of F-Freddy of 207 Sqn flown by Sgt Ken Letford, with Wynford Vaughn Thomas recording his impressions 4 mikes high over Berlin 3/4th Sept 1943

WW II Bombers had CVR ? (Tape recorder were here in ~ 1940 ?) 'England gentlemen' by the way - Congratulation to their Fair Play.

Hero❤

My uncle don was 22 flying a spitfire with the canadian rcaf. He was shot down over Germany in 1945. Brave man who makes me proud.

I wonder how many of the planes they were shooting at were Allied planes.

Definitely a Yorkshireman in the mix in the first clip.

FYI: While P-51 Mustangs were in active use in Korea, the “New” USAF used different paint schemes for them. The P-51s included in this video are from the 352nd Fighter Group which was deactivated in November 1945 - a full 5 years before The Korean War officially started. P-51 Korean liveries are and were available for the making of this video.

Apparently only one was lost in action.

One of America's Greatest warriors !!! Wish We still had these kinds of Men .

Bader was one of the great leaders. The right man at the right time who remotivated the despondent 242 Sqn when the chips were down. He developed / trained some excellent leaders and built a talented fighting unit(s).

A story I recently read from a Lancaster Squadrons history👇 In the mid sixties my family and I were sitting in a small cafe in Spalding, Lincolnshire. Seated at another table sitting with his family was a very distinguished looking gentleman with a big handle bar moustache. My mother remarked that he kept looking at her. As he got up to leave he came over and said to mum, your Mary Wright aren't you? Mum said she was. He then said, the last time I saw you, you were in my office on a charge. Apparently she had been in charge of the ribbons denoting the Wing Commanders aircraft which were fixed to the wings and as she was crossing the airfield, two young airmen met her and said, bet you daren't put your stockings on the wings instead of those ribbons. She did and the gentleman now stood at our table said, "I didn't notice those stockings until I was over Berlin."

This was on the night of June 6th, 1944, not with the initial morning invasion. Hicks got the recording flown to London. There, at the Blue Network office, it was broadcast that night in the United States at 11:15 p.m. Eastern War Time on the Blue Network; not long after, the recording was played over the other networks, CBS, NBC and Mutual.

Those radio news reporters knew how to paint word pictures for the ear for a radio audience. This reporter Hicks was amazing. Great recording.

NBC Blue.

Transcript is quite useless.

“Ah they’re searching for us…Bastards.” Absolute legends

crazy ace combat vibes i love it

I think this, is propaganda, it sounds so ..

Legenda of battle aviation...

This is the Britain I love! God what a bunch of Heroes, to be alive during that time must have been every feeling under the sun, excitement and adrenaline filled misery! Make the most of some positive outcomes! Love hearing these gems!

What an incredible interview. Very penetrating, and comlex questions, answered concisely, frankly, and so completely!! What a very deep thinking, quick, and decisive mind. 👍

When I was about 8 I checked out a record from the library "Sounds of WWII" and it had this on it and I adored playing it. It also have Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose wishing the best of luck to the people of Britain. Also the D-Day landings and of course Chamberlain's sorrowful announcement that they were at war with Germany.... it was a fantastic record. They had one from WWI as well but it wasn't as exciting. Less on the spot recordings.
