Bonnie & Clyde shootout location near Kansas City Airport 

As a former Kansan, I've flown out of this airport many times, but never knew the history of Bonnie & Clyde so close by!

I've heard this story many times but your take on it is awesome! 🧡 My mom and dad were friends with an elderly couple in Dallas and Dink worked with Clyde at a clothes hanger factory. I live not to far from where Bonnie and Clyde died. There they have the Bonnie and Clyde trade days in Bienville Parish Louisiana.

Atlanta, Georgia, has a reputation for tearing down buildings no matter the historical significance & changing street names, every time a new mayor is elected. To hell with historical names & replacing with people who are still living. Sad! People cheered Bonnie & Clyde because they robbed banks & most people had lost their homes & land due to the Depression, with banks foreclosing on their property & the dust bowl days didn't help matters either. I saw the movie at the Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta, Ga & it was located on Hwy 42, also known as Moreland Ave. I'm not sure if it is still there, as it has been several years since I was in the area & the location is in a bad section. Thanks for video & retelling history that most don't know anything about!

Jeff- you are one of the greatest story tellers of this century, I love all of the history that you bring in these episodes. The touch of your family is priceless. You are one blessed man and we are also because of what you do teaching history to us of those forgotten history makers.

A morbidly fascinating piece of history. Great post.

Great episode Jeff! I appreciate your hard work in putting these together. The hours spent in researching the subject of each episode shows. You cover a lot of great information. I sure have to agree that there is an element of anti-police lawlessness today combined with complacent district attorneys and politicians who seem to encourage this kind of behavior. History can repeat itself!!

The ganster era was only 1933 and 34. The best book on this IMO is Public Enemies by Bryan Burroughs. Covers the entire era in roughly chronological order. Excellent read.

Another good way to start my Sunday off. Looking at another episode of History Hunters. Great narrative. Many thanks.

Thank you Jeff for all of your work researching filming and editing. You put out so much history on each of your videos. I appreciate you. From the Central Valley in Cali.

Good Morning Jeff and I wish you and your family well. Thank you for the great reports.

Thank you, look forward to watching your videos every Sunday morning☕️

I watch your videos every time you put a new one out and I do enjoy them very much thank you

Another great history lesson. Thanks, Jeff. You talked about how some people supported the outlaws' and what they were doing. Have you ever heard of "Danny Lee Eckard, 28, a convicted kidnaper and rapist, was an ex-Marine skilled at desert survival?" He escaped from the Arizona State Prison in Florence, Arizona (where I was born and raised) in 1969. He was nicknamed "The Dessert Fox." I remember some of that manhunt, as I was 10 years old. My dad was a prison guard back then, and we actually lived just across the two lane highway from the prison. Anyway, I'm sure this would make a great history video for your channel. You could probably do interviews of some surviving lawmen from the manhunt. Well, thanks again or a great video.

Jeff, I was born in 1961. Like you, I was enthralled with history and in particular broadcast and radio history. I am 61 almost 62 and saw your granddaughter. I have no children and I thought all your videos will hopefully be on some kind of platform that Evelyn will be able to watch and show her kids and grandkids. Then I thought, you need to do a video about you, your mom and dad, and their moms and dads..eveything you know about your family and stories of your childhood. Then, messages to her kids and their kids, for them to see and hear long after "we" are gone. Just a thought I had while enjoying you new video..

What an informative channel you have. Much respect. Thank you for a job well done. Keep up the good work. History must NEVER be forgotten that's for sure. RIP to all law enforcement officers that have made the supreme sacrifice.

That's was a awesome vlog you did on Bonnie and Clyde...Thank you!! 😁

Great episode! Tied up all the loose ends of what happened to the gang after this event. I never knew they were laid to rest in Texas. I have family near Dallas. Might try to take a ride to Dallas

Great episode Jeff. I too have a art collection of Bonnie and Clyde. They were an important part of our history. Well done

Sorry I’m late to the party! Thank you Jeff, that was great! Especially good to see your delightful grandchildren! It’s always nice to see the original locations where history happened. I just watched a report on the murderous duo on the biography channel. Your video added a lot that wasn’t told there. I never saw the movie. I first became aware of the duo via a 1968 hit song while I was in nursing school in Germany, “The ballad of Bonnie and Clyde” by Georgie Fame, an English musician. I quite liked the song. Not sure it ever made it to the US, many songs that are popular in Europe are virtually unknown here, or rarely played. It’s amazing how popular these two remain to this day. I was amazed to see just how much they have been romanticized. Thousands of people visited them at the funeral home. And now people pay beaucoup bucks for memorabilia! Getting back to history, in the bio channel docu they showed some photos of the abhorrent conditions the Barrow family lived in during those depression era days. They also showed the house and location you visited. Now the landscape looks so different. A lot of the time my take away from your video reports is… thank God I wasn’t born during those days and had to live through that. Something to be grateful for, and never take for granted! Thanks again, Jeff! Not sure I would have been able to make a video and sound coherent after that long flight and jet lag! Appreciate all the comments from people who are living in the area and/ or had some contact with the gang!

I’m behind on watching…but welcome to Kansas City. I live across the river in Leavenworth and always appreciate you for sharing history. Another fun fact…my daughter lives in Santa Rosa California…I know that flight path well.

Excellent as usual. You have the perfect voice for these history lessons 👏👏👏

Always enjoy! I’m catching up on the previews episodes. They are all very good!

Another good one, Jeff. I very much appreciate all your research and especially the pictures down to what recently sold as collectable. Thanks.

I have been there many times. You are right the shootout was just down Weat and not at the sign. There is still small part of the Red Crown still there,

I live in Grant Parish Louisiana about an hour away from Gibson La. where they were ambushed and killed. You did a great job with this story. Thank you

THANKS, JEFF FOR THIS GREAT HISTORY VIDEO!

I was wondering if you were going to mention the car in Nevada. I saw it on our drive to Vegas back in 2019. There's also other items displayed there. I don't understand the positive fascination with them either. Unless you see it as a romantic love story, then maybe. I'm flying out tonight for another trip. Excited to explore the city's history and do some filming. Love seeing, visiting, and learning about historic buildings as well. Great job as always! Love seeing more of your family.

Another great episode, Jeff. Keep up the great work.

Hi . Loved this vlog . Very interesting and informative . I appreciate your dedication to research and storytelling. Great job Jeff! Your grandkids are sweet . Thanks . Take care . Deborah 🇨🇦.

Good story. Good research as always. Thank you.

Just left KC a few weeks ago. Home welcoming the birth of our first grandchild.😊 Can vividly recall the area before the urban renewal expansion, decades ago.

Great video Jeff and beautiful grandkids. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome 😊 happy Sunday

Interesting video. Through the years I have come across the “death car” several times at county fairs, a casino outside Reno and Primm, NV which I thought has been closed down recently. I’ve always have been taken back by the number and size of the bullet holes in that car.

Your commentary is always well done.

You have a beautiful family. You are blessed! Great video. Very interesting.

Thank you for another great opportunity to learn about history

Excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Another fascinating video thanks Jeff

Thanks again for sharing Jeff

YET ANOTHER AMAZING FACT FILLED BEAUTIFUL MIND BLOWING VID! Thankyou Jeff, And cheers to you and your beautiful family.

Another great vlog , well documented, I saw the film in 1968, you must see it! Nice to see you with your family.

Yes Jeff there was a Love hate affair with Bonnie and Clyde and Loved this video. Came to a sad ending for them. God Bless you. 💯👍

Great story keep ‘em coming.

Excellent episode, enjoyed seeing the grandkids

Cool intro. Are you credited for the words spoken?👊🏼

Welcome to my home state. You are correct in reverence to today's urban crime.

My family also had a story about my Grandfather hitchhiking to the store for cigarettes, they stopped and let him ride on the running boards because the backseat was full of long guns. This was between Como and Pickton in Hopkins County texas.

That was a fun video. Thank for the history, Jeff, now go see the movie.

Awesome 👍 you do really good videos on all that you do. Flew to KC & didn't drop by? Oh well, that's ok.

Really interesting. Too bad everything is gone at that site. Hope you enjoyed our new airport!

Thx for the updates,I liked the banjos too!

Good history lesson on some fascinating subjects!

Not what I would call a glamorous lifestyle.. thanks Jeff,. Central California watching

Great info. Tks.

This is great. Thank you. Could you do a video about Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate?

Another interesting bit of history. Thanks.

The days of B&C may end up a ‘calm breeze’ compared to the tumult on our door step- border- thanks for sharing, you have a beautiful family Jeff!

Great video... Visiting family and still finding history out there. I've always been interested in the "Bonnie and Clyde" story ever since I was a young kid seeing their shot up car at state line. Thinking to myself, these people did something really bad to be shot at that many times. Enjoyed watching, thank you for sharing. Take care Jeff. 🇺🇲

Live by the sword, Die by the Sword, great video

Be sure and visit their grave sites if ever in the Dallas Texas area, unfortunately the gas station that Clyde and family lived in was recently torn down.

At 5:53 that is a photo of W.D. Jones not Buck Barrow.

Welcome to Kansas City

Good video thanks.

Great video

i have saw the movie been long time i have ty for retelling the story you got so cool son dautherinlaw 2 grand boys also your grand dauther i am soo glade you going to have good vist

They came to my grandfathers home to get resupplied . They gave him money for food medicine and for the trouble . Bonnie gave my uncle several bottles that held a shot of alcohol . My father an. His sister road in the back of the car . They bought chickens and they were in cages tied on the roof . They came 2 or 3 times and received help .

Interesting video...thank you for sharing. Jeff, you have to come out to Auburn, Indiana to the Duessenberg museum where you will see exhibited the car and machine gun used by John Dillinger. You can aldo do a video on the museum as well. 😇👍

You've earned a good eight of sleep. That's a historical place that I hope is erased by "progress". If you enjoy good BBQ this trip could be really special. Thank you for the video...

Great stuff. Nice family you have there

I have found so much stuff on Blanche wow on RU-vid I always wondered where this was and the pictures when they got Buck and Blanche fascinating you can see Blanche totally losing it over Buck being shot

I love Bonnie & Clyde and they didn't rob banks. Bonnie never shot anyone even though she got blamed for it. I loved your story. They were nice people. I watch everything I can on them.

Great post Jeff. I really enjoy when you have family with you. The grand kids made me laugh I was told I am related to Clyde but there was never no proof Have a great week. Been way to hot here in California

At 7:45 that power line you see ran along the old Hwy 71 route.

Nice episode. The pistol you show at the end was not a revolver.

Cool video... but at 21:54 - that's not a .38 revolver, its magazine fed, maybe a Colt .32 or .25

I've lived in the northland 55 years near this and did not know about it until i seen this, I've also driven by the Jessie James child hood home And probably by where he was shot in st jo.

Your blessd with those grand kids my man

That's WD Jones at 5:53, not Buck Barrow.

21:41 Wow, Clyde had really nice handwriting for a two-bit criminal.😃

Loved seeing your family!! Cute, sweet children, good-looking older children!! Your granddaughter looks, reminds me of my great granddaughter about the same age!!

I saw the 1967 movie with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway way back when. It was pretty decent and entertaining. Willian D Jones in the movie was called CW, played by Michael Pollard. Blanche and WD both got pretty light sentences for what they did and were involved in. If WD was coerced into staying with the Barrow gang, then I'm the Pope! One thing too about that time, it was during the Great Depression, and alot of jobs, even if you could find them, didn't pay much, so they wanted easy money. Where Bonnie came from was an impoverished area, still no excuse to murder and rob people. I think you summed it up quite well why there were people rooting for them. It was just a different time. Thank you for the video, interesting as always.

Are you going to see the apartment they stayed at and had a shootout in Joplin? I believe it is currently an Airbnb.

Blanche was actually a very pretty woman. But my word, what they perpetrated. Killed and left so many with loss of their loved ones. The fascination with their crimes lives on. I wouldn't take any of that "memorabilia" if it was given to me. I think you are right about the why of the fascination. Your grandkids are adorable.

The power/telephone line is probably following the old highway.

Ok!….Hell of a life….they were 2 of only a few who were truly FREE…..and BRAVE…..👍✌️

Thanks for this interesting visual bit of info on B&C and historic buildings/locations! It is interesting to me that they put the commemorative sign so far from the actual location of the tavern and cabin(s) and I wonder why. In my reading, and moral philosophical bent, I find it remarkable that no one has come out and said that Clyde Barrow's extreme, severe change in personality and fixation on attacking Eastham prison is due to the fact he was raped there. That rape changed his entire life, as it does for victims of sex crimes.

I saw the car used in the movie at an exhibition 30 years ago ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Netflix movie The Highway Men with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrellson is based on Bonnie and Clyde. John Dillingers death came 2 months after Bonnie and Clyde’s

They did more work getting out of working than most do while working.

The colt 1903 pocket pistol is a 25acp not a 38 by the way.

If it wasn’t for the 1967 movie, Bonnie and Clyde wouldn’t have the notoriety they have, they would have largely been forgotten outside Texas and Gibsland, LA, much like Raymond Hamilton has. Raymond wasn’t glorified as much, due to the fact he did not target law enforcement officers, like they did. He was much more successful at bank robbery and even a more notorious figure of the West Dallas gang at the time, mostly due to his escapes and evasion of law enforcement. The only time Raymond is mentioned these days is when the story of B&C breaking him out of Eastham prison is told. I intend to change that, his story is much more interesting. One of the last things he did was kidnap my great uncle JC for his brand new 34’ Ford flattop V8. Once he set JC and another boy free in Fort Worth, he was apprehended and his next stop was “the chair” in Huntsville.

Great video! So strange how they were romanticized even though they killed so many people.

very interesting

Saying the police were “outgunned” when they were only equipped with .45 full auto Thompson machine gun was a stretch. Lol. It would pierce both side of their car and anything in between. The Thompson was used by US troops in WW2.

WAR IS EVIL

My grandpa meet Bonnie and clyde

I live in Kansas some historical buildings they tear down some they renovate

I live maybe 10 miles from there.

Great episode. You have a nice family. The kids are so cute.
