  • On September 15th, 1952 an American formation of F-84 Thunderjet fighter-bombers is flying towards the Yalu River, near the East China Sea, on the border between China and North Korea.
    Escorting them is a flight of F-86 Sabres from the 336th Fighter Squadron, spear-headed by flight leader, and future jet ace Captain James Robinson Risner. When they encounter MiG-15s Risner chases the pilot all the way to China and then tried to rescue his wingman by pushing his stricken F-86 to safety.

      Great video as always. I’ve always loved your designs for the videos. I will however mention that you forgot one detail about Logan. Once he hit the water the two different rescue craft a float plane and a helicopter apparently were having an argument over who would get to rescue him. The helicopter crew won the argument and apparently attempted to use their rotor wash to inflate his parachute and try and essentially push him towards the island. This is unfortunately what resulted in him getting tangled in his parachute lines and the resulting in his drowning.

      This whole idea of theirs was an incredibly immature maneuver. Why chase down 1 damaged MiG back to his base when they were tasked with defending the F-84s from currently 3 undamaged MiGs? Kind of a dick and cowardly move because they only did it for the sake of glory getting a kill, not to complete the mission objective. If it was a German pilot from WW2 he would have saluted the MiG pilot after pulling up aside him.

      He was a glory hunter only caring about kill marks going for an easy target. Lack of honor and chivalry.
      His actions left the fighter bombers without escort, he sent 2 fighters to chase 3 enemies and caused the death of his wingman disobeying orders both on his mission objectives and on international borders limitations.
      His promotion and praise were a PR stun and because he was a good fighter pilot. But objectively he should have been demoted and court martialed.

      Now imagine that a Russian pilot who hears bomb explosions at his airfield, a combat alarm sounds, a siren howls, you jump into your I-15 or I-16, which has no ammunition, since the attack is sudden and the planes are understaffed, and You have half the fuel in your tanks. You take off not along the runway, which no longer exists, but across the field, you take off alone, and there are several dozen enemy bombers and fighters above the airfield. You can’t shoot, you won’t be able to fly for long either, and all you can do is ram with a 100% probability of death in order to somehow harm the enemy, to prevent him from doing his dirty deed! And they went to ram. This is exactly how June 22, 1941 began for many Soviet pilots.

    I.ve heard this told a few times in different ways and I have never understood it. Wasn't the mission to escort the bombers? The guy ditches the bombers with his wingman seemingly right off the bat because he got one piece of one attacking mig. He then chases deep into forbidden areas with AAA and gets his wing man killed while bombers are getting blasted back at the mission. That got him a promotion? Seems like a pride move as the pilot in the damaged mig was out of their class as well.

His pursuit after all wasn’t sanctioned or necessary and that solemn ending feels somewhat like what some may describe as “Karma or Eye for an Eye” type of deal and inevitably, both men’s fates that same adrenaline fueled day. Wonderful tale and recounting of these men’s deeds but overall a tragedy. Rest In Peace to those who perished.

      I agree. His rash actions cost two lives that day. The Soviet pilot already disengaged and left, and so posed no danger to the bombers. After seeing each other in the valley, they should have waved at each other and parted ways. Then, you would have an American and a Russian who can both go home to share their fascinating encounter.

    Kind of a bad call to chase the mig to China to secure the victory I think. He should've stayed with his flight, to clean up the remaining migs and protect the f84s. Instead he flew into China, overextended and risked himself and his wingman. Yes he secured the victory but at what cost? A wingman and 2 sabers?
    Amazingly animated, and the push maneuver was impressive I think though following the mig was a bad idea from the moment he sent 2 of his wing to chase the 3 other migs.

    Admittedly, chasing that MiG down transitions from just doing your job to straight murder. The MiG was already out of the fight and yet these two 86s pursued him. With a MiG pilot that so profoundly maneuvered to save his own life, after he was a non-factor for the bombers, it's more heartbreaking to see the 86s continue to hunt his ass into the ground.
    It's like watching a fight, and one guy gets knocked out. And then the other guy gets down and proceeds to beat the unconscious man to a pulp.

      It's always happened. It will happen. When you hunt a target you shoot to kill that target. Killing an enemy pilot is worth more than just shooting down his aircraft. Everyone will point out its murder. That's war. The sound of it the bomber's were safe at that point. As the remaining migs pulled out and in doing so he felt it was safe enough to give chase. Plenty of other nationalities of pilots of have done it. If you want a larger example go to world war two. Plenty of Russian and German pilots both would chase each other into the dirt. This is not an uncommon example. But the valor told afterwards and piloting skills are.

    Paused the video at a little over 7 minutes to say, this totally reminds me of the story of the F4 Phantom pilots who did the same thing, in fact, I thought they were the first, but this predates that event. The Phantom story was a bit more perilous as I recall, with the pushing pilot actually using his own windscreen. Sometimes we in the other armed forces make fun of our Air Force brethren for having it easy, but they are brave as hell in their own right.
    Blessings upon all troops in a righteous cause, from whatever nation. Good wishes to the forces of Ukraine, fighting hard to repel an invader. They are already more successful than many other European nations were in WWII vs the invading Blitzkrieg. Some nations in those circumstances lasted only hours or weeks. Brave Ukrainians have withstood an assault for over 130 days at this point, more than 4 months. Slava Ukraini.
    And a moment of silence for former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, who was a staunch ally to the US, and was willing to stand against the "salami slicing" of territory by the CCP. Still waiting to hear more on that story, so no further comment, though I can't hep but wonder if the CCP was involved. I spent 2 years in Japan, they are a peace loving people, and violence shocks/offends them. My condolences to the Japanese people.

      Good luck with the Ukranian statement, Expect the land taken by Russia(20% of Ukraine by land mass of Ukraine btw) to never be returned. Also, by 130 days if you mean Ukraine isn't in its 5th mobilization wave then it would be fine, but sadly, it is in the 5th mobilization wave, and civilians are giving 10 days training before being sent to the frontlines. If you think of this as Russian propoganda, then ask a bunch of Returned foreign troops, including the best sniper in the world, who probably spent only a few nanoseconds in combat before leaving(when his unit was shelled). The Ukranians are brave, but their government is anything but it. They should sue for peace, before more land is irreversibly snatched from them.
      The real way to win a war is by not underestimating your enemies, which all news outlets constantly show footage of the Russians. The same happens on the Ukranian side too, for example, a few Ukranian troops sold a "Donated" French Howitzer for $124,000 each while the cost of it is $70million.

    I have to be completely frank on this one.
    As mighty impressive as the story of of pushing a jet back to friendly territory is, and as heartbreaking as the loss after it becomes, I'm having a hard time rooting for someone who decided to chase down a fleeing enemy when there were still many in the fight, and also risked the life of his wingman by flying into forbidden airspace, and right into an airfield with heavy AA fire.
    Feels almost the same as the last video with the P-47 and the FW-190n except the roles reversed.
    Maybe it's just me, and this is just how war is, but this story didn't quite hit the bar when you think about it how his heroics are really just a result of a few stupid decisions that ultimately ended in a tragedy that could've been avoided.
    On the other hand, to not sound like a grouchy grandpa, animation and models in this episodr were fantastic :)

    James Robinson "Robbie" Risner was a Brigadier General, a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, and a senior leader among U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.
    During the Vietnam War, Risner was a double recipient of the Air Force Cross, the second-highest military decoration for valour that can be awarded to a member of the United States Air Force, awarded the first for valour in aerial combat and the second for gallantry as a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for more than seven years. He was the first living recipient of the medal.
    Risner became an ace in the Korean War and commanded a squadron of F-105 Thunderchiefs in the first missions of Operation Rolling Thunder in 1965. He flew a combined 163 combat missions, was shot down twice, and was credited with destroying eight MiG-15s. Risner retired as a brigadier general in 1976.
    At his death, Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark A. Welsh III observed: "Brig. Gen. James Robinson "Robbie" Risner was part of that legendary group who served in three wars, built an Air Force, and gave us an enduring example of courage and mission success... Today's Airmen know we stand on the shoulders of giants. One of 'em is 9 feet tall... and headed west in full afterburner."

    More impressive is the manner of your presentation. Perfect, spot-on script to accompany truly remarkable graphics ... recreating these events...Not skimping on the smallest detail either such as in this video the jet's shadows...or even more discreet nuances...overlayed with the perfect spot on script ...and more importantly, is the delivery....Using my raspy American, Southern voice may work with a wild west or unique events but would never work with these videos....then there is the seamless reading of the script, the perfect moments to raise the volume, alter the tone, the infliction, increase your cadence reaching a moment of emphasis....often followed by a perfect pause...not a wasted word...not a second too soon or too late to begin or to end these stories...the perfect voice, enunciation and projecting... I have zero clue about these matters far as the creation of and or the art of storytelling but I must say, you have it perfected...of the numerous content creators and presentations I view... there are none better than what you provide for us...I know it is a lot of work...my son has a successful channel himself with over 1M subscribers...He works at times for 30-40hours to produce an 8-10 min video & he is focused on a specific PC game....not history...I would be interested to know what program you use to create your graphics ...not that I could ever approach your level nor do I or will I have any type of "content for the masses"....but for personal projects or local or more specifically I have ideas about my business and utilizing this type of approach (executive security or once known as "PMCs") ....Anycase. just wanted to let you know that many people, 10s of 1000s appreciate your hard work....it is also important to emphasize these events, to teach, show, and present events based on facts and not some political agenda...The World is self-destructing unlike I've ever witnessed or could imagine in my many years...Perhaps one day, an entity would approach you about categorizing all your creations and putting them in a chronological order to be used as adjuncts to learning about history....as it was and not as the...well...as many demands every creation be represented of these days...frustratingly, history was and is history...who was involved is who was involved...to interject others is wrong and I am glad and thankful you remain as historically accurate as you can...FANTASTIC JOB...
