To those who say Yamamoto was "murdered" or "assassinated". No, he was a high value enemy combatant traveling in a warplane in a warzone.

I love how his content always evolving, from 2D video into Realistic 3D. Mad respect dude

Couple interesting details that are often overlooked about this operation, and how even US leadership viewed Yamamoto: 1) The attack took place one year TO THE DAY after the Doolittle Raid. 2) General Douglas MacArthur, early on in the occupation of Japan, requested of Emperor Hirohito that he be allowed to visit Yamamto's burial site - the one at his family's ancestral burial ground, not the public one(which MacArthur DID visit and treated with the utmost respect). It is not known if this request was granted, or if eh found time to do it if it was, but this request, made with the utmost respect to the Emperor and Yamamoto(and despite the fact that as administrator of the occupation he could have just gone there if he chose), is believed to be a major catalyst in why MacArthur and Hirohito became very good friends - a fact often lost to history.

To be fair, Yamamoto was opposed to going to war with the US. He spent a lot of time studying in the states and he knew how great our industrial capacity and will to fight would be. Ultimately though, he was still a loyal admiral to his own country of Japan. He knew the war would happen with or without him and he wanted to try to secure the best possible outcome for his country.

This channel deserve to have triple the subs it currently does, your videos are extremely high quality. I know a lot about the world wars, but these videos are always informative & fascinating. Much love from Canada ❤

Looking into this , the distance from the airbase in Guadalcanal to Bougainville Island was a 1,000 miles and the P-38's had to fly near sea level to avoid being detected by Japanese radar . Yamamoto 's betty bomber was scheduled to fly from Rabaul to Ballale , and a squadron of P-38's just happened to show up right at the exact time and exact location where the Admiral's flight was . How is it that the Japanese didn't realize their radio transmissions were being deciphered ? .

who else already knows this is gonna be a good video

My great grandfather was the code breaker who found Yamamoto was going on this route (edit when reading his diary for someone in the reply’s I realized that he also found out that Yamamoto was even going anywhere

I always love this guys videos, he turns a 2 hour Wikipedia page into a 13 minute video.

A great peace. Although it leaves off a few details about Ugaki right at the end. When the Emperor ordered the surrender Ugaki, who as the father of the Kamikaze was unquestionably going to be hung as a war criminal, got piss drunk. Put on his best uniform, picked up his sword. Climbed into a plane with 2-3 other junior pilots stuffed in alongside him (thing clown car in a Japanese Zero) and took off to kamikaze an American ship. He apparently missed the ship he was aiming for by such a wide margin that the ship never noticed him. He just flew straight into the ocean. His plane was found in shallow water some days later. His final action summing up much of the Japanese commanders actions during WW2. Pointless, Stupid, Unproductive, and Fatal to only his own men.

Hearing David's voice doing advertisement is never boring! Honestly this is the only channel where I will go through the whole sponsor portion!

The entire Yarnhub crew must be some of the most dedicated and hard working people, every time I tune up here the quality is higher than the last time. It's awesome that the style remains, while the videos just keep looking better and better, and it's all on a weekly basis! When I first subscribed I expected the growth, but I never thought it would skyrocket at this rate. You guys rock! With all the work creators like you do it seems that the future generation will love to learn history, I could only dream of such an awesome way to do it back when I still went to school, and it wasn't that long ago.

Another great video. Can I recommend two stories you may want to look at. 1. During the battle of the coral sea a dauntless dive bomber was in a dogfight with at least 3 Zeros for about 20 minutes and survived taking the last one out with a wing strike. And 2. What I believe was the first shoot down by the fleet air arm, I believe a Dornier was shot down by a Blackburn Skua, both planes crashed after the engagement and both crews found themselves sharing the same cabin to escape the Norwegian cold weather. Keep up the excellent work.

Glad to see the P-38 in the spotlight. A wonderful piece of Lockheed engineering that served well in both theatres of the war. Referred to as "The fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe and "Two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese. Hope to see more videos showcasing this mechanical wonder.

To all who work on this channel, congratulations for how far you've come and how far you've yet to go with telling incredible stories with incredible visuals! A hidden gem, for sure.

Its amazing how Ugaki survived the attack from Operation Vengeance, and his last act of honoring the Bushido by going down as a samurai warrior and be with his friend Yamamoto....

Considering how daring the attack was and how valuable to prize was, it should been a medal of honor for those who took down the bombers. They dived in deep into enemy territory to take down the person at the top.

I’ve watched this channel grow for a few years and have never been late to a new video. This animation has progressed greatly and I am thrilled to see what the future will bring.

The video's quality is exceptional, with clear visuals and excellent resolution. Moreover, the content is absolutely captivating, providing valuable insights and keeping the viewers engaged throughout. Well done! and God bless the entire team

RIP Admiral Yamamoto, A brave warrior and a worthy opponent.

Amazing video as always, thought I was watching a TV show for a while. I've been a supporter for a while now and have seen your growth through your storytelling and animations. People always say how your new animation is a lot better than your old ones however I have always enjoyed a Yarnhub video no matter how it looks. Keep up the great work!

I first read about this mission in 1972 and thought awarding the Navy Cross to Army pilots was a mistake the author made--Army personnel didn't get Navy medals! At the time I wasn't familiar with the concept of OPCON (Operational Control). This mission was carried out by Army pilots under Navy control. Navy codebreakers located the target in time to set up an intercept, but the Navy was short of aircraft carriers, had none in position, and had no aircraft capable of carrying out the mission in April 1943. The Army did--and a squadron of P-38s were beefed up with extra planes and pilots, the Navy installed Navy navigational gear and trained the Army pilots in over-water dead reckoning using Navy gear, and the rest is history.

I appreciate the fact that this animation clearly tells the factual version of this story and doesn't dive into the controversy of Thomas Lanphier claiming sole credit for shooting down Yamamoto's bomber. That controversy put a stain on this story that lasted almost 60 years before it was cleared up. I wrote about it for a newspaper years ago and there's even a book about it. Rex Barber shot down the first bomber and finished off the second one, but in the immediate years afterward there was another yarn being spun Lanphier. Regardless, these men were all heroes and they were all brave in doing their part for their country.

1:24 watched this scene over 100 times...

Anytime this channel covers a WWII air campaign, it's simply stellar

The music made this better then ever

So pumped for this one! Your guys' animation and camera work still get better and better with each release. Damn theatrical at this point.

I remember your first videos and their graphics, it is so wonderful to see where we were and were we are now. Love the content, keep it up!

I love the fact they got the little detail of the fact the P 38 had counter rotating props, which is a lesser known fact about the plane in the video

All I want to know is what were all their lightnings doing while Barber was smashing up those Japanese planes?

This channel's amazing grip on history is translated into epic story telling. Truly entertaining.

I am blown away….. The storytelling, the quality of the video, it’s amazing! Keep it up! I look forward to y’all’s videos every week!

That bit of the pilot not wanting to take his eyes off the betty was masterfully done, you guys are kicking ass keep it up

Tommorow is my birthday, can you make a film about an event that took place on 1st August?

is it just me or are the graphs getting better every episode? keep it up @yarnhub ! :)

The P-38's were either equipped with the 20mm's and the .50 cals, or a 37mm cannon and the .50's

I remember reading a War Thunder loading screen tip about a p38 killing Yamamoto.

they need to start using these videos in history class

Yamamoto know this his how his story would end right from when the first bomb was dropped on pearl harbour. But he was a responsible man

"We're low on subscribe rates" while showing the gauges of a P-38 gotta be my favourite part of the video 😂

Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).

Operation Vengeance: The Hunt For Admiral Yamamoto

This is my favorite video of yours. An exciting portrayal of a thrilling historical event. I love the P-38.

Every video the quality gets higher and higher, these animations are getting extremely good.

Yamamoto did try to not attack pearl harbour and other stuff but he had to do it

I just love how the quality of your videos keeps improving. This channel has evolved so much!

Amazing video as always. This channel just don’t miss.

i honor the both japanese and american men they just did the job

is nobody gonna talk about how like 3 men in the killer group look almost exactly the same

The part showing the aftermath for Ugaki was definitely a good idea to include.

Love the insane quality of these videos. Keep up the good work!

I love how these videos have more details about the history of ww2

Pappy Boyington wrote in his memoirs Baa Baa Black Sheep that they helped plan the attack with the Air Corps pilots in a mess hall.

The sound track in this video hits hard and works well

I remember my first Yarnhub video, when a bf 109 spared a b-17 the original. Wow to see how far this channel has come 😢❤

1:26 what an animation this is top notch

He was a valid target, in a war zone, during an open war between two nations. That would still hold even if the inverse were true and Japanese fighters had somehow been in a position to shoot down Admiral Chester Nimitz.

It would be really good if you made a video about the Bulgarian pilot who rammed a Bomber out of oblivion.

These videos are an oddly interesting combination of radio play, history text, tv documentary and action movie. The best one so far. Well done.

I appreciate your videos very much. I hope that you enjoy making them and that it is worth your effort. You deserve it.

The quality only gets better and better, good work!

It's amazing how cool and cinematic your videos have become!

Thank you Yarnhub! Love to see more Pacific videos!!

I’m just saying but, you definitely deserve way more subscribers because of how darn well made your videos are :)

to me Yamato is like Rommel. a well respected adversary

The quality of this content keeps getting better and better. Great work.

Thank you so much guys for your amazing work!!! It´s such a great pleasure to see how you have grown! Keep Forward! Greetings from México.

Even if i left school decades ago, i kind of hope that some where a teacher uses these or similar videos in class to give a interesting view on the different events.

This should be a movie. Because this was a highly dramatic event.

What a superb episode - the writing is very good, I like how you emphasize important people on both sides of the conflict. And the animations is once again getting better and better with each video!

Outstanding! I never realized it was one year to the day after the Doolittle Raid. Every video gets better and better!

The sad part: the pilots involved argued for decades over who scored the kill on Yamamoto, even after some of them had passed away. Yarnhub’s video is only one account of how things went down

That bird was the mainland defense fighter & you could see many of them over California especially.

These videos are literally movies, i am surprised you guys can keep up posting these weekly! keep up the amazing job yarnhub, you never disappoint!

Not much, but you guys truly make my days whenever you upload!

I already 👍🏿 so I can say you are shameless! I loved the fuel gauge telling me to subscribe. BTW I saw the NHK Japan special on this very subject. Your cinematography is so close to their perception it was uncanny. It speaks to your overall excellence.

"I've got a bad feeling about tomorrow, brothers." - Isoroku Yamamoto. April 17th, 1943

i love watching these, the amout of quality that increases over time with each video is impressive

Incredible CGI.

Yet again another amazing video I see why you took extra time

Absolutely fantastic video you never let me down

its crazy how good the animation has gotten

this is just a movie...what quality this has...

Without a doubt the best Yarnhub video to date. The part where all the P38's hit the throttle and pulled up gave me goosebumps

This channel has so many good videos keep up the good work and keep doing a good job hope you have a good day!

Yamamoto didn't actually say he'll negotiate peace at the White House, that is likely an incorrect translation on the original statement. He did say that Japan can't hope to win the war unless they are able to force Washington to negotiate on terms favorable to Japan, and to achieve that Japan needed to execute a decisive blow early on before the U.S. is fully mobilized for war.

Was worth the wait! Great video!

defiantly worth the two week wait

Please do a video about Greece during ww2 Because stories of bravery from Greece are not told

I love how you portray both sides. Animation and storytelling is top notch. Keep going! 🎉

I have started watching you again after 2-3 months and WOW! Your videos have improved so much!

100% your best yet. I have no idea how anyone could watch even one of these absolute masterpieces and not subscribe.

I love your content… Even if I lose or people hate me

Oh my godddddd I was so excited for this one! Killer content! I still have a story that I guarantee no one here has heard and I would absolutely love to see your channel bring life to it. 😊

the quality of the animation is just out of this world, well done yarnhub!

yo, your videos in 4k are something else entirely

Great vid as always! Watched from the start and happy to see your animation evolve ( 1:36 good music placement too)

The way you guys keeping pumping banger after banger astonish me

This channel deserves at least 2 million subscribers, i love your content and i watch every video you put out
