It's very noticeable how much less flammable late war Japanese aircraft were once they realised armour and self-sealing fuel tanks were worth a bit of extra weight on the airframe. Not a single Japanese plane in this video caught fire even though some of them had huge chunks blown off them.
We had cut off Japans oil supply’s by mid 1944 . They didn’t catch fire because they had almost no fuel on board …. They were fueled with enough fuel for only 45 minutes of flight time .
I was wondering the same thing, not knowing a lot about late war Japanese aircraft, but the ones in this film seem to take multiple hits without "flaming".
Not many clips of air-to-air combat in this video, so hard to draw a firm conclusion about how much "less flammable" Japanese aircraft had become in July 1945. That said, plane shown at 2:06 has flames in the cockpit area.

No AA. Rookie Japanese pilots, by that point it was almost always a rookie, facing hardened veterans . Not nearly as dangerous as German AA, which was altogether much better from AAA crew effectiveness, AAA doctrine effectiveness, to early-warning radar, better late-war aircraft. This comment is a major overgeneralization, but this footage is from about a month from the end of the war .
@@sochinese Also, Japanese AA defenses were nowhere near "the works" that Germany had late in the war. Tons of AA guns, radar. Things that Japan didn't have much of. Even then you can still see a bunch of late war gun camera footage of Allied fighters strafing anything that moved on the ground in Germany. By the time Allied fighters were freely flying over Germany shooting anything up that moved on the ground, the Luftwaffe was a ghost of itself. Fighters were few and what pilots that made up their fighter forces were mostly poorly trained, woefully inexperienced men flying against enemies with full training and combat experience.
While a considerable amount of strafing was done, it's worth remembering that the sample size is biased. There were not 'bomb cameras' recording all the work of Helldivers, Avengers, and the like.
I'm puzzled as to why the pilots seem to always strafe the broadside of a ship instead of strafing the ship along its long axis. I'd think it'd be more effective from one end to the other instead of broadside.
If it was edited it would be better. Lots of the same targets but scattered all thru the video. Just saying. One plane spots a target then the other planes all follow.

I could be wrong but from my guess I would assume that due to how crippled Japan was in late 1945 they’ve pretty much used most of their weapons and resources to defend their country also some of it could of been already destroyed by the bomb raids they’ve had almost often by that time so, it might make sense to why there’s barely any explosives in the film
Not as many bombing runs were done over Japan because of the surrounding population. In Europe there was a more urgent takeover happening, therefore The Blitz bombing of Britain and the rest of Europe was used to put pressure on the Axis forces and drive them out of fortifications
They should use British Navy Practicies where these gun camera films are used to calculate bullets on target v bullets wasted & charge the pilot the cost of every bullet off target. That would improve accuracy!!
Let's be polite to the brave pilot flying the plane and say his guns needed to be zeroed in because he nearly missed the whole of Japan most of the time.
It"s really difficult to aim from a firing platform traveling at 300 mph or more while getting dangerously close to the ground, planes don't change directions instantly so they have to constantly keep their bearing while simultaneously trying to get rounds on targets they can only guess at the range of with guns set to converge at a set distance. And it get even more difficult when firing at a moving target.
In reality if it helps shipping convoys navigate it’s a valuable target. Plus it probably had AA gun emplacements as a spotting tower. Just my guess for what it’s worth
Besides its utility as an observation/early warning post, the Japanese and Germans often used any robust, elevated structures like those as flak towers.
these clips must have come individually in a pot luck bucket as there is no order to these but clearly through my first viewing i can see this was not organized whatsoever. the lighthouse is but one example
It denies the Japanese food supply so that they would starve slowly and not be able to fight or manufacture, and so that they would be more liable to surrender.

a little for information... The Battle of Okinawa, also known as Operation Iceberg, is an operation to capture the Japanese island of Okinawa by US troops with the support of the American and British fleets. Date April 1 - June 23, 1945. American military losses in the battle amounted to 48,025 people killed, wounded and missing, of which about 12 thousand died or missing - about twice as many as the number of losses in the battles on Iwojima and Guadalcanal combined. This makes the battle in Okinawa the bloodiest battle for the Americans in the entire Pacific theater of operations and the second largest number of casualties in the entire war, second only to the Ardennes operation. During many battles on the Pacific front (such as, for example, the battle for Iwojima), the local population was not involved in hostilities, but there were a large number of local residents in Okinawa, and the Japanese decided to involve them in the defense of the island. As a result, according to various estimates, from 1/10 to 1/3 of all the inhabitants of the island died in the battle. The number of deaths by various specialists is estimated from 42 to 150 thousand people (according to data from Okinawa prefecture - more than 100 thousand people). Representatives of the US Army spoke of the final figure of 142,058 civilians, including those who were forcibly called up for service by the Japanese army. According to the Okinawa Prefecture Peace Museum, the inhabitants of the island were sandwiched between two warring parties - the United States and Japan. In 1945, the Japanese army showed complete indifference to the fate and security of the island and its inhabitants, and Japanese soldiers used the local population as a "human shield" against American attacks. Soldiers of the imperial army took food from the inhabitants of the island, thereby causing famine among the population and forcing people to leave the shelters. About 1 thousand people were killed by Japanese soldiers for speaking the local dialect - in this way the authorities fought against espionage. Operation Downfall is a plan for the Allied invasion (mainly US troops) of Japan at the end of World War II. The operation was to consist of two parts: operations "Olympic" (Olympic) and "Coronet" (Coronet). During Operation Olympic, which was scheduled to begin in October 1945, using recently occupied Okinawa as a bridgehead, the southern third of one of the main Japanese islands, *Kyushu*, was to be captured. Later, in the spring of 1946, a landing force supported by Kyushu aircraft was to land on the Kantō Plain, Honshu Island, surrounding Tokyo during Operation Coronet. A lighthouse is a means of navigation equipment of the coast of large reservoirs in the form of a capital structure, often a tower type, designed to compare the picture observed by the boatmaster with a certain place on a geographical map, having precisely established coordinates, which helps to clarify the position of the ship on the water surface. welcome to Wikipedia I did not find reliable sources, perhaps because I did not dig into this much, but I saw a lot where during the war at the end, when there were no specific goals and tasks, the fighter unit went on free hunting at will to certain permitted places. Match 2 operations - this is the Battle of Okinawa and Operation "Downfall," the date and place. Obviously, these shootings do not cause significant harm and do not have a specific goal. The priority of the purposes was banal is simple - transport hubs, factories, the plants and other. It was the main goal to make the Japanese have nothing to fight - to make them the least dangerous. And when in the hands of an old rifle and a bayonet-knife with a shovel - it is much easier to win, and the losses of soldiers are much less. But here there is a second moment, which is much deeper and more important. Periodic such shootings force civilians to leave their homes and push mentally to stop it faster and to give up. Here are the bombing of certain cities and points - there the effect was completely different and it was exactly the task.
I’m so thankful for our Heavenly Father and His choice to allow this great generation to be in this era. Just imagine if this generation was born back then? We all would be speaking Japanese and German.

I agree that there was a lot of indiscriminate shooting of civilian areas..... But it's all balanced by the way the Japanese army treated the people in the areas they invaded
That's one thing you never saw from British and Commonwealth pilots.The straffing of civilian homes and areas by individual pilots. Higher standards I suppose.
Once the Germans started bombing cities in the Blitz we targeted civilians as well. We probably didn't strafe civilians in occupied Europe, but I imagine we did in Germany itself. Firebombing Hamburg and Dresden killed 10s of thousands.
Just casually watching a raw footage of a fighter plane from a world war 76 years ago on first person perspective in youtube felt so surreal.

真珠湾は戦争犯罪でした。南京（中国）もそうだった。
@@drott150 なぜ真珠湾攻撃が戦争犯罪なのですか？
まさか最後通牒をアメリカが突きつけているのに、宣戦布告とかの話ですか？国際法の宣戦布告を読みましょう。
コタバル上陸の方が先で、宣戦布告がないことを理解できれば、わかりやすいと思います。
南京事件？中国のプロパガンダですよ。
具体的に誰が何をした事件なのですか？そして誰が命令したのか、教えてくださいねw
兵士の犯罪があるというなら、どこの社会も犯罪者がいますよ。
That's one thing you never saw from British and Commonwealth pilots.The straffing of civilian homes and areas by individual pilots. Higher standards I suppose.

Yea they just bomed them at night
With all due respect, that's a crock. Implying that it didn't happen is complete rubbish.
Rarely? Sure!
Never? Bollocks!
Once the Germans started bombing cities in the Blitz we targeted civilians as well. We probably didn't strafe civilians in occupied Europe, but I imagine we did in Germany itself. Firebombing Hamburg and Dresden killed 10s of thousands.
The Continental Army attacked the Hessians on Christmas day...pretty smart, but below your standards I guess. We won that battle and the war.
Civilian massacre footage･･･
Assertions made without proof can be dismissed without proof.
Bad shots. I think they all need some shooting training. 95% are not even hitting the target
Video repetitive 👎
You do know this wasn't a video game and didn't have a reset button....right?
