I was reading a book( a higher call) and the b17 s were getting ready for a mission and I just wanted to get some sound effects it's also a very good book my mom thinks I'm secretly a boy😂😂idk why tho
My grandfather was in the 8th Air Force. He was a pilot and he flew this glorious aircraft and took part in over 10 missions over the western front. It puts a tear to my eye when hearing those thunderous props fire up. Reminds me of my grandpa so much. These B-17’s really have spirit. These baby’s scream life. They are truly living things in my eyes!
My Grandpa Gerhard and his younger Brother Erich are flew in the Jagdgeachwader 52 and 27 from 1939 to 1944... One flew over England, France and Germany with a BF 109 the other the younger one Erich over Northafrica... Both were Friends of Hans Joachim Marseille and hate the Rassenhass and the Nazi Things... But they keept Soldiers and Grandpa Gerhard Shoot down 12 US B 17 and one Spitfire and he always Said this Plaines we all get Fear from... Erich shoot down 1942 over Egypt and get a Prisoner, Gerhard Shoot down twice Januar 44 and April 44 and was heavy wounded far over the end of the war... Erich Shoot in Africa a couple of Bristh planes but I don't know which ones...he git the EK II and the EK I Gerhard got the Ritterkreuz
+Five Red The US is not, and never has been a democracy. You really should read a bit more. We are a representative republic which is totally different from a democracy. Thanks.
The sound in this vid is pure heaven. The sound of the starter and the mesh was caught very well on the start of Engine 2. I could replay that over and over again. And I had my earphones on and full volume as the other engines were fired up. Could feel the vibrations in my head. Made me feel like I was there. There is no sweeter sound than a B-17 starting up. Awesome vid!
I was born in 78, through my experiences and life the B - 17 became my favorite as a child and still is today. I've seen every single movie and/or clip available to the public that was ever recorded...goose bumps every single time...I would give anything to take one out for a flight...even if I'm just a passenger
I get goose bumps watching this beautiful bird startup. Someday I’m going up in one. Thank you to the people that keep these warbirds flying. We owe so much to the men that flew these planes.
I've heard a few B-17's close up over the years because of my job. Nothing sounds like it, gives me goosebumps. As Tony said, the sound was captured really well.
My uncle was a B-17 pilot in World War flew 54 missions. Saw lots of terrible destruction lucky to come out alive. Very sobering for me to watch these videos and think about that
Good Lord... I'm watching "Masters of the Air" [released today] and I came here to check the B-17 engine sound because I knew it was wrong, too soft and blend in the movie. In this video right here, the engine sound, with squeaks and knocks and thunder, warms my heart. It is so good (I used to travel in DC3s and Electras in my youth). Why these producers don't do some research before spoiling the movie? Damn.
A good friend of my father was a B-17 Waist gunner. He told us about how he and his brothers in arms would hit the local pubs/bars. Dimple Pinch was there drink of choice.
What a badass war bird that plane is, it could take some heavy shit in combat and land the crew home safely. Truly an iconic airplane that I would love to see myself one day
Remember liberty belle stopped by Spokane wa for a visit, me and my dad asked the crew about all the oil under the wings and they said it was normal, couple weeks later saw it in the paper completely destroyed caught fire while it was flying 😭
Ironic this plane was a war survivor, became the literal Frankenstein Fortress, went to a museum, said museum is destroyed by a tornado,as is the plane, restored to flight to flight again, crashed and burned out in 2011 and AGAIN is being rebuilt following said fire to possibly flightworthy condition again. What an incredible aeroplane! If only NineONine can be restored from its leftovers following that bad crash....
My dad told me that it was strangely quiet when it landed in Duxford once. I haven't been lucky enough to see one land and taxi up to me yet. Thing is I swear they used to use inertial starters.
A2A simulations has the B 17 package for flightsim x, you can own and fly your own B 17. Maintenance hanger, parts wear out, depending on maint, and how you run it etc. Mine has 3 hours smoh, flying goid. The planes are used when get them, usually needing random work getting em going.
According to wikipedia the Liberty Belle is being rebuilt from fusalage from 44-83387 in Douglas Georgia last status its under restoration for display along with another B-17 recovered from the lake in Laberdor.
Like everyone else, I love those sounds. I even went to aeronautical school for radial engines (A&P Mechanics at Spartan in Tulsa as it was one of 3 that offered radial mechanics) I did not finish, so want to ask others, why not start #3 first, to start the hydraulics, which I have heard was the first engine to start. Maybe it does not matter, but I have seen many start #3 first and that is consistent with what I know. Just curious. p.s. when I get in a bummed mood, listening to these radials start, makes me happy, so in no way am I putting down, just curious.
According to Wikipedia the plane is currently being rebuilt from another fuselage of a B-17 in Douglas Georgia. along with another B-17 recovered from a lake in Laberdor. as now the liberty foundation has a B-17 on loan from Erickson was formally Chuckie, then Madras Maiden and now the plane been repainted to Ye Olde Pub.
they are similar..but different..nothing will ever come close to the ground shaking sound of a 10,000 HP top fueller as it leaves the line..but nothing will ever compare to the deep throaty roar as one of these massive radials fires and comes to life. like the mighty Merlin that powered not only the Spitfires and Mustangs and the Lancasters and Mosquito's it is the sound of victory that along with the Hero's that flew them helped win WWII
When was the video of the "Liberty Belle" filmed? Because in the year 2011 it was on fire outside Chicago and the B-17 History | Liberty Foundation are raising money for her restoration.
Any expert on radial engines, the initial beech is enought to remove oil from inferior piston? Im not familiar with them. I only had seen biplanes and things like that manual rotating for that but i heard that is necessary to manually open a purge to leak oil. Is that really necesary?
GTA V Decoders The smoke is from oil burning off in the cylinders. Not a single airplane has a cat because it chokes up and robs power, you need ever ounce you can get. With the government removing 110 and 130 octane low lead av gas due to elad content (even though its minimal) these engines run terrible (in comparison) already. No need to make it worse. If you want rediculous rules... Move to California.
J'ai immédiatement noté mais je croyais que la check list donnait comme séquence 1, puis 2, puis 3, puis 4. à vérifier. ^^ I immediately noticed that. But I thought the checklist give sequence: 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. Must be verified ^^
An engineering marvel built without computer technology. History & technology are awesome partners. It was that same war that the B-17 was developed that birthed the first computor; & both were intended to kill people and save lives in the name of freedom. There willl be a terminator(s) as in the sci-fi movie, & it will serve the same purpose.
Can you imagine what 50 of these planes sounded like, sitting on a runway in England warming up for a mission ?
Try 100's of them
I was reading a book( a higher call) and the b17 s were getting ready for a mission and I just wanted to get some sound effects it's also a very good book my mom thinks I'm secretly a boy😂😂idk why tho
What about 700-800 Lancasters at one time
50? Much more I say
Those old engines DOES give a person the feels.
I live right next to an airport and a guy who owns a b17 has his there, whenever it flies over it shakes the hell out of my house, it's awesome
E
Ha 50cal go ratatatatatata
Hahaha!! A B-17 is NOT a plane “a guy just owns”! 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha!! A B-17 is NOT a plane “a guy just owns”! There aren’t even that many around that fly. 😂😂😂😂
Hell yeah
The sound of even one of those monsters gives me goosebumps - respect to the USAAC
Not monster. A beautiful beast

Ah yes, the bravery of bombing civilians
@@miklu26 😂 😂. Something beautiful

Gerhard got the Ritterkreuz
What a beautiful sound. It sounds like.. freedom.
Reading Through History Like an agression of democracy?
Like, the can we opened when they declared war on us. Considering the alternatives, I'd yearn for this every single time.
Reading Through History Alternatives? Continue to finance the production of Nazi Germany?
+Five Red The US is not, and never has been a democracy. You really should read a bit more. We are a representative republic which is totally different from a democracy.
Thanks.
Pirate Labs That was sarcasm
There's just something so inspiring, majestic even, about seeing and hearing those old radials firing up.
The sound in this vid is pure heaven. The sound of the starter and the mesh was caught very well on the start of Engine 2. I could replay that over and over again. And I had my earphones on and full volume as the other engines were fired up. Could feel the vibrations in my head. Made me feel like I was there. There is no sweeter sound than a B-17 starting up.

i agree with you very special
Nothing beats the sound of those old radial engines starting up!!
good morning germany! this is your wake up call! lol
Makes me think of the movie Memphis Belle. God rest the brave soldiers that flew in these war machines
I was born in 78, through my experiences and life the B - 17 became my favorite as a child and still is today.

I get goose bumps watching this beautiful bird startup. Someday I’m going up in one. Thank you to the people that keep these warbirds flying. We owe so much to the men that flew these planes.
I could swear that I could smell the exaust and feel the wind from those engines starting up.. AWESOME!
I've heard a few B-17's close up over the years because of my job. Nothing sounds like it, gives me goosebumps. As Tony said, the sound was captured really well.
I'll bet nothing beats the real thing though.
Imagine what it must’ve been like when dozens of B-17s and/or B-24s were taking off for a mission, not knowing how many of them would make it back.
My uncle was a B-17 pilot in World War flew 54 missions. Saw lots of terrible destruction lucky to come out alive.
Very sobering for me to watch these videos and think about that
Awesome! That sound had to send fear into the hearts of the Germans. Thank you Lord, for the brave men that flew in these planes!
Love it!. Keep em flying, in their memory! Both men and the machines they flew. Lest we forget!. Nice one!.

Beautiful symphony of the Wright R-1820.
there's something addicting about that "prrt-prrt-prrt" starter sound
Beautiful to see those props spinning.
what's not to like? Big, loud radial engines turning gasoline into wonderful noise!
Turbines and jets, man that ain't no class, give me pistons and props, and lots of av-gas !
Music to my ears
Four R1820s,you got that right. Just listen to those nine cylinders times four growl
A good friend of my father was a B-17 Waist gunner. He told us about how he and his brothers in arms would hit the local pubs/bars. Dimple Pinch was there drink of choice.
I love the popping sounds of the air between the props. Very nice sounds here!
The Liberty Belle!
She's being restored to fly again.
What a badass war bird that plane is, it could take some heavy shit in combat and land the crew home safely. Truly an iconic airplane that I would love to see myself one day
When I was in THE NAVY! The sounds of turning props always put me to sleep. :)
This is the better startup sound than another WW2 warplanes. I want listen it again and again
I could listen to these engines all day. Its so sad Liberty Belle is no longer with the us.
+hanyoukimura Actually they are rebuilding her from the parts they salvaged.
Mmburntcheez Can confirm, she is being rebuilt in Georgia, just saw some parts for her being worked on.
Remember liberty belle stopped by Spokane wa for a visit, me and my dad asked the crew about all the oil under the wings and they said it was normal, couple weeks later saw it in the paper completely destroyed caught fire while it was flying 😭
Best sound ever

12 O'Clock High!
Nothing says dont f*** with me like a b17!
My dad told me that it was strangely quiet when it landed in Duxford once. I haven't been lucky enough to see one land and taxi up to me yet. Thing is I swear they used to use inertial starters.
When I pick my twin baby girls up, I play this on the Bluetooth speaker so it sounds like my truck is a B-17 when it starts up
Gotta love that sound 👌👌
Thanks for uploading this video. Greetings from Peru.
Amazing. 2 thumbs up. Thank you.
Wow! It looks so clean! Like it just rolled off the assembly line!
What a sexy bird
She my girl, she'll keep 30 guys busy always.
She misses me..

Literally me every morning)
Nice video!
I really like and love this Video!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Going through a tough time right now (temporary) and I play this during the rough parts to keep me going.
I took a tour in one with my dad. For a huge plane it’s cramped in there.
According to wikipedia the Liberty Belle is being rebuilt from fusalage from 44-83387 in Douglas Georgia last status its under restoration for display along with another B-17 recovered from the lake in Laberdor.
Me: goosebumps
The video doesn't do it justice to hearing one of these Titans start up in real life
Just imagine flying this over the veteran centers in Japan.
Nice 👌🏻

When I hear this sound.I am live in heaven
RIP old girl.

derek obidowski Too bad it doesn’t seem they can rebuild Nine O Nine
Was this taken at Prior Aviation in Western New york? I think I was here for this.
Awesome sound! There is nothing else like it...top fuel dragsters come close but...not like this.
they are similar..but different..nothing will ever come close to the ground shaking sound of a 10,000 HP top fueller as it leaves the line..but nothing will ever compare to the deep throaty roar as one of these massive radials fires and comes to life. like the mighty Merlin that powered not only the Spitfires and Mustangs and the Lancasters and Mosquito's it is the sound of victory that along with the Hero's that flew them helped win WWII
Or the roar of a F4U-4 corsair as it screams by at full throttle, I'd take that hearty American rumble anyday
Hermosas maquinas
The Gunners were like- Here we go- we're probably gonna die
This one's for Gretta!
When was the video of the "Liberty Belle" filmed? Because in the year 2011 it was on fire outside Chicago and the B-17 History | Liberty Foundation are raising money for her restoration.
So they do start up independently, neat.
Is this thing on? Yes, it's whisper quiet!!!
Whatever happened to the days where planes let you know you where flying them when now it's just a high pitched screech nowhere near as wild
I still have wreckage from this airplane
Any expert on radial engines, the initial beech is enought to remove oil from inferior piston? Im not familiar with them. I only had seen biplanes and things like that manual rotating for that but i heard that is necessary to manually open a purge to leak oil. Is that really necesary?
SO FUCKING COOL
Wooow this a complement to Boeing
Cool...
For those of you not aware, this airplane crashed and burned in 2011 - it is no longer with us.
It sounds like the millennium falcon hyperdrive malfunction but backwards
FREEDOM!!
R. I. P
This sound is why I will not watch football, nascar, or the NBA ever again. God bless the men that flew in these planes for our freedom!!!!
Vid ruined by popups for the next video. Is this another a/c or is this before the fire?
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
AFTER war these engines equipped the DC4 & 6 with same sound.i remember it having flown in these planes to africa..
Engine Sound: Wright R-1820-97
a german grandpa after hearing this: 💀
Considering all of the trouble with their 737 MAX airframes, I wonder when Boeing is going to start making aircraft this sturdy, safe, and sexy again.
I have a poster of this Exact B-17G
What a beast....needs a catalytic converters tho 😂

If you want rediculous rules... Move to California.
The sound of round
I miss these old propeller propelled airplanes, not its jets that take no time at all to fly off
I am also a ww2 soldier
They run with gasoline?
Wrong start number sequence. First Engine 1 then 3. Then Engine 2 and 4. Chaka. ♥️
J'ai immédiatement noté mais je croyais que la check list donnait comme séquence 1, puis 2, puis 3, puis 4. à vérifier. ^^
I immediately noticed that. But I thought the checklist give sequence: 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. Must be verified ^^
il semble que je ne me trompais pas. it sems i'm not wrong
czcams.com/video/vOl5YpFVGYU/video.html

This plane isn't armed- What was the guns- like 11000 rounds of .5 rounds?
Japan you better watch out
Air-cooled cylinders.
Why only 1 engine
