Imagine going through all that shit then coming home to try and live a normal life traumatized by death and trying to kill to survive. No wonder my Grandfathers come back being alcoholics. So sad. And for what?
how true, at 3:13 he said the most important thing for online ww1 multiplayer, there was no communication in reality, so if you use it it today its like a cheat or a EZ mode. Good night.
They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM LEST WE FORGET ..
Why are the names of these men not included? Why did you not cite sources in your description? It's a well made video, and I appreciate you posting it, but I really find it disturbing that you've not done these two things. It strikes me as a bit disrespectful to not at least identify these men as they speak. Almost exploitative. Perhaps circumstances prevented attribution, and I do beg forgiveness if that is the case, but as you did not comment on the omission I feel I must.
Bruh really? It's a clip of a video game with veterans speaking about their experiences which match up to the experiences in the video game. You think I get money for this or something?
A great account by Lewis...but...on the same 1963 BBC series is an interview with Capt. Norman Macmillan. His account of flying under allied bombardment is stark, chilling, haunting even. If you watch it, watch his face, the terror of the flights is still there.....rivetting....as is his book; 'Into The Blue' 1929, Duckworth Printing. ( no ISBN).
Wow, what a collection of interviews. The RFC chaps have a very special place in my life. I met two when I was young. Very kind, humble and gentle. But the sudden slight change in their eyes when one of the other drinkers in the pub mentioned a Sopwith Camel and a Fokker. I'll never forget it. He didn't talk on that occasion.
They have my absolute admiration for those magnificent young men, in the infancy of being pilots, defending and fighting for The King, Country, and way of life, while looking after your mates, as best you can. These gentleman have my utmost respect and will never be forgotten for their devotion to duty, honor and patriotism in just getting the job done. Per Ardua Ad Astra they lived and died by. From a retired WGCDR in the RAAF, BRAVO ZULU to them all!
My grandfather served in the Royal Flying Corps as an aviation mechanic/engineer. My father served in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and navigator during WW II. Lest we never forget their sacrifice and service.
That gentleman was Cecil Lewis. An accomplished flyer and author of many books. In "Sagitarius Rising" he recalls his wartime service. Well worth a read.
His description of been a pilot is incredible sad. Any other brand have the advantage of been surrounded by friends in battle boldest moment ...but as a pilot you are by your own. Completely alone.
Was some good fighting. I love the 38. Too bad about the blacking out shit, That sucks, Don't think it really went down like that in RL. I talked to a fighter pilot once and he said that is BS, only if you were an old man that would happen. Guess it's better than it was. I haven't flown in a couple of months now. Have to get back into it soon.
Blasphemous WWII nerd! Hehe, just kidding. Nice scrap there Mr. Talbot, see you in the skies. P.S. congrats on 100 subs, you're now a full time Il2 influencer
@@r.talbot5349 Same as here, I haven’t been on in aeons. (Back when “the art of war” competition was running). Work and life got in the way a little. I seen you floating about far more than you seen me ;).
