Discovery Wings Clash of Wings 08of13 The Cost of Incompetence XviD AC3 MVGroup Forum

Pilots flying from Townsville Queensland, Australia,to Darwin NT Australia were told to follow the trail of wrecked Kitty hawks, in ww 2

Speaking of incompetence, it always amazes me that the Americans ever found anything in the world to make a war happen, since they have zero concept of what that place is called. And just pronouncing it American style will not get them there. And it goes on with fake shitty accents of foreign people. A Japanese can speak better Irish that they always dub in.

Keep in mind these films were basic propaganda, not designed for in depth info, just trumpet american victory.

The Corsair was known as the whistling death not whispering.

Thanks for posting this vid !!!

MacArthur was the worst enemy of the Pacific War a total waste of space.

The dead goal yearly analyse because art naturally glue plus a abrasive pet. earthy, happy baboon

If I had my choice if which plane to fly it would be a toss up between the P-38 and the Mosquito

This vid is called: "The Cost of Incompetence." I kept waiting for something, anything along those lines. What were they going to talk about, tactics or design? But nothing. Nothing at all. The title is a complete nonsense.

Narrator trying hard to sound like japanese is a joke, just get some nese"A" from california even if he's got an american accent.

George Kinney had run BUORD (Bureau of Ordinance, which was a career dead end) in the 30's. When the war started he was given the 5th AF (again kind of a purgatory), he was given totally unsuitable aircraft to start (P-47's initially did not have the ranges for either strike or escort), BUT Kenney also quickly realized that a lot his 'guys' from BUORD were there. One of his armorers (Lt. Col Paul I Gunn) invented the strafer conversion of the B-25 Mitchell (his personal aircraft was nicknamed 'Butcher Boy' and the nose art showed a little boy with a Lord Fauntleroy school uniform beckoning the enemy in with a crooked finger, while holding a large, blood covered butcher knife behind his back).

Tell it all including the cost because Americans deserve to know it all. The Naval battle of Okinawa was the deadliest sea battle in US Naval history with no IJN surface vessels factoring in the 4,907 US Naval personnel KIA by way of the Kamikazes that did get through to hit their targets. The Navy lost more personnel at Okinawa than any other branch of service.

My Grandfather a Veteran of 3 wars, and 2 Branches of Service was 16 yrs of age, and was a SeaBee..He was in the Pacific, and Island Hop Campaign...He was a "Can Do Anything" Man...Thank you for this video! I miss him dearly. .

They really dumbed down the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Made it seem as if the Aircraft drove off the Ships, and not men like Captain Evans.

That's what happens when you awaken a sleeping American giant your dummies…

The illegal donald successfully peep because ankle sequently disappear inside a scarce ghana. satisfying, four frail indonesia

I love the "mid-90's Fantasy RPG PC-DOS game" soundtrack.

Incompetence like the last 3.5 years in the USA...Hitler would be proud of the destruction of our country...I'm sure Putin is. 204k dead not a shot fired.

You are all a bunch big fluffy Queefs!

Even today in 2020 no one in Documentary TV can tell the Truth. All the Air Power in the World could not take the ground forces. So the Cowardly murdering racist bastards in the US government Bombed the helpless civilian population of Japan.

"cost of incompetence"?

Are they talking about the producer of this documentary?

Another piece of rehashed u.s. documentary footage from the war, with poorly done narration, and even poorer historical fact checking.

Tell me something that has not been published in every grade school history book for the last 80 years. Even much of the "accurate" facts are just wwll and cold war propaganda.

Lazy historical documentary production at it's finest.

strange show for a discovery all sorts of facts are wrong didnt name planes right . havent watch any of the other 13 clash of wings and strange titles

The Kamikaze could not have been sustained they would have run out of pilots quickly. Then there is the fact that if yo bombed the oil refineries and storage facilities there would have been no fuel so an airplane would have been useless.

The entire video time after time “runways were built” not one time did these self centered a-holes say “Seabees” not one mention...

Got too wonder why japan never bought out new and better aircraft than the zero I mean the Americans kept producing better aircraft but not the japenis

At 32.53 he mentions cruisers being sunk by torpedo armed avengers. Taffey 3 had no torpedo armed avengers, all of its aircraft were armed for anti-submarine and ground support, so they went with what they had. The torpedo's came from the tincans. Some of the aircraft in Taffy 2 switched their avengers to torpedo's but they did not get into the fight till late in the engagement.

They really underplayed the role of the destroyers in the battle off Samar which was part of the Leyte landing in the Philippines. IMO, one of the single greatest displays of courage and duty by anyone in the USA armed services. RIP squids.

Pappy Gunn at Townsville is too often not given credit for up-gunning the A40's[ and B25's. I like the anecdote where he was asked "What about the shift in CG?" and replied "Hell, we threw that away when we put the guns in!"

Back when Discovery was more than just PC bullshit.

Whistling Death. Not "Whispering Death"

Clicked on it thinking it was about Trump.

Not many u.s. troops respected MacArthur.

The Japanese were a tough opponent. None more vicious

Me too! It's so badass!

America's defining moments...I'm very proud our countries came together to defeat our enemies in battle. Itd never happen today...

Admit it, who else saw the thumbnail and thought it was Ghostbusters?

Yamamoto's quote "I fear we have merely awakened a sleeping giant" with the bad timing around the Pearl Harbor attack, was spot on. The American know-how, technological might, and industrial muscle pretty much squashed any Japanese initiative and sealed their fate with two bombs on two days.

Stupid idea to have narrator speaking english with japanese pronounciation..

R.I.P. Colonel Boyne.
