Ghost P-40 

DANG 1ST REPLY

thank you guys for your amazing work!

Hello yarnhub

Amogus

Am I the only one not be able to access this link. It just says page not find. It may be that I have a VPN on

nice!

which museum if i may ask

I mean it's's better than selling it to a scrap yard

We always seem to ignore treasures right infront of us until they disappear.

@@kurayami2611 no better to be in a museum

Ah yes a fellow filipino historian enthusiast nice

This is an amazing story to share, it deserves to be adapted into a full movie

Oooo another Fellow Filipino

Same here this is the first time hearing about this even though i am a American history buff

You was the first filipino that yarnhub put a heart

It's my favorite fighter in the US tech tree in War Thunder.

same with the F4F, the early war planes are my favorite because of the stories they produced

Same goes with the IAR80/81 When it rolled in production, it was the 4th best design in the world at the start of WW2 Though the plane held its edge thill 1942 - 43, even after it was practicaly obselete, the pilots where so good in them that the americans still bitch about how the plane was a pain in the ass when bombing civilians and the oil rafineries. In 1944 IARs downed some P38s at low alt, wich would be deemed the worst single day loss of american planes in all WW2 american service. I love this plane because it was a one of a kind regarding romanian craftmenship, but also because my grandpa flew in the IAR81 and it was a really deadly foe in capable hands.

@@greeneggsandsam2014 The F4F was actually one of the better early-war fighters, about the same level as the A6M Zero.

Darkspire...The attack on Pearl Harbor if you recall had two brave pilots in their underwear take off & shot down a few Zeros before being shot down in their P40 Warhawks👍RIP 🙏Unsung Heroes

It deserves a movie adaptation, this is incredible

@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts Definitely. Why it does not exist yet is another mistery

And knowing what the Japanese did to prisoners makes you respect Milton and his men even more

This was cover once in Aviation History Magazine. That pilot had will of steel.

straight out of Hogan's Heroes

I'm sure she was one of the most badass rides in the skies, too.

And its purpose wasn't to be a death machine, raining misery upon the enemy. No, it was the last messages of a handful of messages from soldiers to their families and the rest of the world. It was a swan song.

Every yarn hub video needs to be a movie

indeed it does

@@adambane1719 Meh. No harm in using old words unless it's your ego talking about old fashion. get moving somewhere else that's 2025 for you.

It's still being done by the Philippine Army, we assemble makeshift IFVs by transplanting turrets from FV101 Scorpion light tanks onto M113 APCs.

Made me think of “The Flight of the Phoenix”, a book I read as a kid in the 70s or 80s. A small cargo/passenger plane crashes in the desert due I think a sandstorm. The plane design was similar to the P-38 Lightning, and only one engine was good. So, working at night to avoid sunburn and dehydration, they cut it down to make a single fuselage plane out of it. They also have to gather what water they can from condensation on a piece of canvas. And there’s a lot of arguments between the various characters involved, very tense stuff.

@@michaelkevinmirasol8256 I wouldn't call it "makeshift", modified would be a more accurate term.

@@johns9652 Sounds interesting, would you recommend the movie about it? Not that I'm not a fan of books.

@@dapperfield595 I can't recall ever seeing the movie, though I do know that one exists. And to be honest, the book I read was one of those Reader's Digest "condensed books" which was one book with like 5 shortened books within it, so I may not have gotten the full experience myself. My parents had dozens of those around the house, and I read a wide variety of things I might not have otherwise. I think they must have had a subscription to RD at some point before I was born, I don't remember any new ones showing up to the house, just the old ones on a couple different bookshelves.

dude the model of the canopy on the P40 is a sin. what are u talking about

@hellship rc well im comparing this vid to Yarnhubs old vids if you actually see, its a big improvement

all his videos are already mini documentaries :)

@@itzaceium5066 True, thats why Yarnhub would be good with a real one! 😁

me too!

How do they teach about Americans in ww2 in china? We mostly supported KMT and then helped KMT escape to Taiwan. Then the Korean War happened so I can’t imagine we are viewed well during that specific time period. I’m curious tho.

@@ding1466 WW2 era very favorably, people know that US helped Chinese forces (both communist and nationalist) a lot to defeat the Japanese. There is a story I heard a lot growing up that they used to teach us about unity against Japan: So many US planes were lost flying over the hump in the Himalayas to resupply Chinese forces that the large numbers of wrecked planes was used by other pilots to navigate the route. But US aviators never gave up and continued to risk their lives flying the route to help the fight to free China Stories of US and other allied nations helping China were commonplace in both schools (all run by CCP) and households. Now this was over 20 years ago and I dont live in China anymore but I doubt this view of USA has changed much

@@kaiyang1987 The trail of wreckage " over the hump" was known as the "aluminum highway". The planes that over-flew Japan to land on Chinese soil were Dolittle's B-25s that bombed Japan in early 42. The Chinese people took great risks to try to help the survivors.

I heard the same story and was wondering if anyone did too. There might be a video from "Dark Skies" oe "The Front" about these events. Would be worth to check i think !

Philippines is always on war at ww2

The people of the Philippines did amazing things. Thank you.

Speaking of this, I wonder if you could do a video about the people who fought to their last munitions and supply at the Corregidor Island. It's one of the most valiant last stands in Philippine history!

The whole story was made up by 2 pilots as a joke

@@PinkStratovolcano Source?

@@dapperfield595 its the first chapter of Robert L Scott jr's WW2 book and was purely fictional. The first chapter of said book told the exact same story but more detailed. Many versions of this story was made but I heard that the first version was started by fighter pilots during the war as a joke, and Robert L Scott later added it onto his book. (Edit: not really a joke, probably just something they told to make stuff interesting as they were probably bored.

@@PinkStratovolcano in my opinion that doesn't disprove anything, while it's improbable that the plane was a "ghost plane" I still won't argue with that part but with some conjecture it is quite possible the plane was a real plane that crashed as they do claim they found it and they could just sold the real events as a story afterwards which has happened many times before; as an example Lord of the Flies book is fiction but the TV show documentary with the same name is based off of a real event, The Tongan castaways were a group of six boys aged between 13 and 16: Luke Veikoso, Fatai Latu, Sione Fataua, Tevita Siola'a, Kolo Fekitoa, and Mano Totau. In 1965 the boys ran away from a boarding school on the island of Tonga, stole a boat, and after a storm wrecked the boat, drifted to the abandoned, remote island of ʻAta where they were shipwrecked for 15 months.They were discovered in 1966 by Australian fisherman Peter Warner, in good health and spirits under the circumstances, and returned with him to Tonga, where they were immediately imprisoned for the theft of the boat. The boys were released from prison after Warner compensated the owner of the stolen boat with proceeds from sale of the film rights, and negotiated their participation in a documentary for an Australian television channel. This is an extreme example but it's the best one I could think of for when a real event can be turned fiction.

@@_wanted_outlaw3007 the example you gave had a LONG and DETAILED documentary proving the said event. This story doesnt have a documentary at all, and fixing up a plane without tools or parts necessary is impossible

Amen.

Amen.

He did his duty. He delivered the mails and diary to its destination, sadly he didn't make it.

Depends on the version. One said he made to Pearl Harbor but there was no body another went with that he was from Boston. Like many stories and myths these the story takes a life of its own.

Milton McMullen who was one of the Aircraft Mechanics on the ghost P-40 was born in Enterprise, Mississippi in 1921 and passed away in 2014 in Jackson, MS

Amen. RIP

Appreciate that. thanks

ahh yes, PUBG island

@@franciscraig8164 ok

Iron man reference

@@ebn_grinding3171 yes

Any chance you could make a digital copy of his journal and share it online?

@@Eyes0penNoFear I haven't really thought about it. I also have his recordings of every speech FDR made during the war that I have thought about figuring out how to digitally copy them.

@@charlessmith9903 I hope you do. Over time they'll likely degrade in quality until they're unwatchable. It would be fantastic to be able to access them online 😊

the mystery thumbnails are usually green

@@Yarnhub yes, but in the notifications of my phone only said Yarnhub uploaded "Ghost P-40" and i got confused, but still an interesting story i didn't knew, great job :)
