It’s December 13th 1943 and 2nd Lt Philip R. Adair is in the skies over Assam. The alert was sounded and he’s first Burma Banshee in the air. Flying Lulubelle his beloved P-40 he sees in the distance what looks like a flight of 4 planes. Adair is on his own as the rest of the Burma Banshees are still taking off…but he doesn’t hang around and he goes for a closer look.
It’s a force of over 60 planes consisting of both bombers and fighters and it's headed straight for his home base. What can one man do against 60 enemies? Adair makes the incredibly brave decision to engage the force alone. With original testimony from Adair and photos from the battle, we recreate this epic and little known moment in history.

“And then I got smart” what a bloody awesome line.
I'm surprised Adair's plane was able to stay in the air given the weight of his massive brass balls. What an incredible man!
“And then I got smart” what a bloody awesome line.. Awesome that his family helped out with this. Keeps history alive.
I wont lie, it brought tears to my eyes. What an absolute legend!!!!
This man had a plane that had been badly hit, was losing altitude, and was too far from home... and he saw another enemy and said "Fuck it, why not?"
This man:
What an amazing pilot. And a man of my own heart. Even with a damaged plane and desperately trying to get home, he saw the enemy and said "What the hell?!"
When I was a kid, I built the "LuluBelle" P-40 from Matchbox. I didn't even know who was flying it and what this pilot did... But the skull looked cool ! ^^
Dude was brave enough to test his luck 3 times in a row even when he was damaged, Such a legend.
i dont even know how they made this much research and animating this fast and manage to make the best video ever
I have to say the inverted flying, problem solving… brilliant and some ‘ace’ achievements. Great snippet of history. Thank you.
This guys Autobiography should be called "Oh what the hell."
The Airbase Lt Philip R. Adair took off from in Assam is still used till today as Chabua Airforce Base by the Indian Airforce. My Grandfather's village was near the area, he remembers Japanese airraids that took place and the Americans who would share bread with the villagers if you waved at them by the railway tracks. A big thanks to the USAAF personell that served in the Burma theatre during WW2. - Love from Assam, India.
that eureka scene to him flipping had me belly laughing for 10 minutes straight
Rolling the plane upside down to gain attitude was bad ass moment. Smart move.

"oh what the hell.." this guy is a legend jesus christ
“And then I got smart” the only thing I’ll be able to relate to with this badass
Funniest thing about this is the fact that number 4 is consider bad luck in Japan because it pronounce similar to the word of Death. So his 44th sorties would be doubling the death to be death-er and this mad man still survive that by literally flipping his bird. Fate has some sense of humor
