- Who is you favourite flying ace ?
A flying ace, fighter ace or air ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat. The actual number of aerial victories required to officially qualify as an ace are varied, but is usually considered to be five or more.
The concept of the "ace" emerged in 1915 during World War I, at the same time as aerial dogfighting. It was a propaganda term intended to provide the home front with a cult of the hero in what was otherwise a war of attrition. The individual actions of aces were widely reported and the image was disseminated of the ace as a chivalrous knight reminiscent of a bygone era.

Germans really have arguably the most iconic Flying Ace in Manfred von Richthofen and the best Fighter Pilot in Erich Hartmann
Are we sure they were not related?!
Even Erich Hartmann's himself said Hans Joahim Marseille was best of ww2
Well, René Fonck may be the best pilot of WW1 because he has a certain number of unclaimed kills (75 confirmed kills + 30 unconfirmed)
Hallo Hallo, whomst hath summoned thy?
Higher, the king of the sky!
I miss a lot: Werner Mölders - 101 kills, Adolf Galant - 104 kills and Hans Joachim Marseille - 158 kills, Ernst Udet - 62 Kills, Josef Jacobs - 48 kills, Oswald Boelcke - 40 Kills, Georges Guynemer - 53 Kills, Werner Voß - 48 Kills....to name just a few
Lothar VonRichtofen 40
Unfortunately, Voss couldn’t score a single kill in his last epic dogfight.
@@patrickstewart3446 He died in the age of 20.
Jacobs was the highest scoring Fokker triplane ace, with at least 31 kills in the type, yet everyone sees a Fokker triplane and thinks 'Red Baron' 😕
@@sopwithsnoopy8779 Yeah you are right. The Fokker Dr.1 was quite an unique plane. It was slow but had a impressive klimerate and was capable to perform flat-turns. Jacob equipped his Fokker Dr 1. with a motor out of an captured sopwith camel. I guess this improve the performance.
Highest Scoring Night Ace - German Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer - 121 Victories Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer was a German Luftwaffe night-fighter pilot and the highest-scoring night fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare. All Schnaufer’s 121 victories were in World War II, and mostly against British four-engine bombers.
Also, all 121 of his kills were at night. The tailplane Of his Me-110 is on display at the Imperial War Museum.
Schnaufer survived the war, and died at the age of 28 in an auto accident.
@@rogerrabbit80 don’t you mean bf-110?
@@Nuclear_Dingo The two designations, Me for Messerschmitt A.G. and Bf for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, appear to have been used interchangeably by the Germans in official documents - in some cases, even within the same document.
Bayerische Flugzeugwerke was reconstituted on July 11, 1938 as Messerschmitt A.G., and all designs after that point were referred to by the "Me" designation only (such as the Me-210 or Me-262). Arguably, you could say that any of the earlier designs built after that date should be called "Me", since they were built by Messerschmitt A.G., especially if they were versions whose modification occurred after July 11, 1938.
This would be like referring to M-4 Sherman tanks manufactured by Baldwin Locomotive Company by a different designation than those produced by Ford Motor Company, which seems a bit silly.
My opinion is that since the Germans of the time didn't care, it doesn't really matter which you use.
He would've had more kills but his plane had a constant problem of losing airspeed due to the weight of his massive balls.

There are no average fighter pilots. You're either an ace or a statistic.

Cholin3947 - I’m sorry, but that is not even remotely true. In pretty much any field of endeavor you can think of there are always going to be a few people who are exceptionally gifted and therefore will stand above the rest in that group. Most of the rest are going to have average skills within the group and a few will even be below average. But luckily where fighter pilots are concerned the average pilots (the bulk of the group) are usually going to be up against other average pilots from the other side. And aces rarely ended up fighting other aces. And lets face it, if every fighter pilot who every lived had the skills of the best aces in the world then there would actually be no aces because nobody would ever be able to shoot the other one down. In any case I’m not sure why you think being an average fighter pilot is a bad thing. That’s like implying that being an average Harvard student is bad thing. Even at Harvard most people are going to be average for that school, even if they are all above average among university students in general.
You also seem to be forgetting that some air battle were won based on superior tactics rather than the individual dog fighting capabilities of the pilots. For example the Flying Tiger were not so successful against the Japanese because of their superior dog fighting skills but rather due to the tactics they were taught by their commander, Claire Chennault. He realized early on that the Japanese Zero was much more maneuverable than the American P-40 and therefore would always win in a traditional dogfight with both pilots having approximately the same skill level (the skill level of the average fighter pilot). Thus he adopted a diving hit and run tactic that took advantage of the P-40’s superior speed.
Francesco Baracca, italian hero ace of the WWI, 36 victories, whose war insignia became the Ferrari's logo, the "rampant horse".

Erich Hartmann is quite the legend...
Absolutely and an amazing story even after WW2.
Best fighter pilot to ever live.
I read a book re his life... he would do anything to get in the air and into battle. Often he would fly in from a mission, demand he be refueled immediately and eat in the cockpit while flying back to the front. His wingmen would have to switch out to keep up with his tireless schedule. He was described as having limitless energy.
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 Absolutely I have nothing but respect for the dude. He was one of a kind. Heck lol 😆 they made him a medal. Think about that your so good that you get a medal made in your honor. Dude is a flippin beast. The G.O.A.T 🐐 of the air.
And after the war tried (sadly in vain) to stop F104's adoption by the (new) Luftwaffe
That Finnish dude who had 120 kills without taking a single hit is the GOAT.
Not bad for 1/3 Hartmann...
@@joe74509migo Hartmann crash landed 16 times while this dude hasn't been hit once. I dont deny Hartmann's incredible score and how he managed to survive, but to take down 120 enemies and not get hit ONCE, requires incredible amount of skill and luck.
@@veselinjokanovic3032 Hartmann has also never been shot down. He needed to land only because of some failures or because he received some damage from wrecks falling from planes he shot down. He was firing only from 50m distance!
@@veselinjokanovic3032 Hartmann crashed due to mechanical ⚙️ failures or being struck by debris from his victories. He was never shot down by Allied fire.
And in a Brewster Buffalo no less.
Richard Bong went home. He married his high school sweetheart, became a test pilot. He started flying jets for the military and crashed and died.
He was only 24. I look back at what I had achieved by then. They were the greatest generation.
He was brave n great but I’ll say this no that was not the greatest generation it was great because of war n cuz of war scientists on all countries began developing technology like crazy bio weapons , chemical weapons and jets tanks etc if world war 3 breaks out then it will be the greatest generation aswell (I don’t want ww3)

Missed Gerhard Barkhorn with 301 victories and Gunter Rall with 275.
I missed Rall too which is annoying as I have a copy of his book signed by himself, most embarrassing, I also have a print of his 35th victory hanging on my bedroom wall!

@@barfuss2007 - yeah, I am familiar with Marseille from the book a Higher Call. I wonder what his tally could have been had his own plane not killed him. Could he have given Hartman or Barkhorn a run? I think, and I may have to fact check this, at the time of his death, Marseille was Germany's leading Ace. I think he could have been in the 300 club.
@@Abby_Normal_1969
on the eastern front Marseille would have at least 500 kills if he survived thr war. Hartmanns problem was not shooting down many russians but to survive in a overwhelming fleet of sovjet planes in addition with russian ground defense and technical problems.
Missing possibly the best pilot of all time, an ace 10 times over... *whilst flying a bomber!*
Most kills with a Stuka JU 87: Hans-Ulrich Rudel 51 Air-to-air victories
Plus: 519 Tanks, 800 other vehicles, 1 battleship, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer and an assortment of trains, bridges and artillery positions.
Unfirtunately, Rudel remained a full-on nazi after the war, and this tarnished his legacy. People don't want kids to idolize guys like that, and that has probably played a role in toning down the attention given him.
So true. I was thinking why would you be able to make a list of ace of the ages without him??
I knew about the tanks and other wheeled vehicles, but did not know about the 51 air to air victories. Against which nation(s)?
@@garydaniels5495 Eastern Front
It is counting air to air victorys
Missed a mention of Douglas Bader 23 kills with two prosthetic legs, and that 60+ kill Sato IJN pilot fought while having only 1 eye left, after battle wounds. But great video about the Knights in the sky
There's an idea that he could pull a higher g as the blood had nowhere to go, by the way my grandfather worked on his prosthetic legs at Roehampton.
That was Saburo Sakai, and he was in the video.
@@Defiant1940 correct sorry
@@jonathansteadman7935 had some confidence issues when I was a kid, in the early 80th, my old man, gave me the book reach for the skies, and what an incredible storie.
No mention of Stanford Tuck with 29 kills. Like Bader, would probably have scored more if not shot down and taken prisoner.
You missed Hans Ulrich Rudel The most decorated German pilot of the war and the only recipient of the Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds, Rudel was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, one battleship, one cruiser, 70 landing craft and 150 artillery emplacements. He claimed 51 aerial victories and the destruction of more than 800 vehicles. He flew 2,530 ground-attack missions exclusively on the Eastern Front, usually flying the Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber.
What Rudel accomplished in the Stuka put him above all others (ever!) especially with solo kills on a battleship, destroyer, and a cruiser. Even more impressive was the fact that he shot down 23 fighters in aerial combat with a freakin dive bomber...who does that? He was wounded, had his leg amputated and returned to flying less than a month later and survived the war, considering only about 8-10 percent of German piolets lived. The only negative was that he was a Nazi and supported the cause to the day he died.
He has 9 confirmed aerial victories. I think those came while flying FW 190 ground attack version, but not sure in which plane, OR if it was his Stuka rear gunner who actually was the shooter. But 51? Nope.
"So how many enemy planes do you want to shoot down by the end of the war?"
Erich Hartmann "Yes"
What about following Luftwaffe aces; Theodor Weissenberger 208 kills, Heinrich Ehrler 208 kills, Hermann Graf 212 kills, Erich Rudorffer 222kills, Wilhelm Batz 237 kills, Günther Rall 275 kills, Gerhard Barkhorn 301 kills, Hans Joachim Marseille , Werner Mölders, Walter Nowotny 258, and from WW1 Luftwaffe aces: Ernst Udet 62 kills, Erich Löwenhardt 54 kills, Werner Voss 48kills, Rudolf Berthold 44 kills, Bruno Lörzer 44 kills, Paul Bäumer 43 kills, Oswald Bölcke 40 kills, Lothar von Richthofen 40 kills, Heinrich Ritter von Gontermann 39 kills, Carl Menckhoff 39 kills, Julius Buckler 36 kills, Gustav Dörr 35 kills, Eduard Ritter von Schleich 35 kills.
Missing Hans Joachinn Marseille (the star of Africa), he is considered the best fighter pilot, according Hartman’s owns words “Marseille was the best”. He died in an accident with his bf109 at age 23.
If you had added more german fighter aces from WWII this video would be almost completely dominated by germans.

If you look at the actual list by top kills, the first 70 is all German pilots. Then one Japanese, and then a long list of German pilots again.
I like the various Strike Witches references you put in here :)

Edit: When I say Panzer I meant Tank only not necessarily German Panzers only
Panzers mean tanks in German
Panzer killing ace? That will be Hans-Ulrich Rudel destroying 519 Tanks with his Stukka Thunderbirdmod
Confirming German ace kill numbers are rather difficult however as they only come from 2 sources: claims from the crew themselves or German propaganda, both of which are hella unreliable. Self claims are very hard to believe as they are very open to personal bias or completely made-up numbers, and German propaganda are just that... Propaganda
@@m10tankdestroyer94 "Confirming German ace kill numbers are rather difficult" Confirming ALL kill numbers, no matter the nationality has been proven to be vastly overestimated. Especially when it comes to planes and tanks. Nevertheless, the germans, unlike the americans for example, didn't have a limit on sorties. They flew until they were death or the war was...ended. giving them all the chances for glory...or else
5:01 hmmm hawker tempest without propeller guess it's jet powered
fun fact : Clostermann's squadron was the first develloping a worth tactic to counter the german fighter jets and it worked to hard XD ... the problem is, it required a really strong plane in term is resistance because of the speed you reach with this tactic and many british virgins almost broke their wings trying to do like the chad french plilots XD (one time they saw a spitfire landing on the french base runnway with the wings that was litteraly TWISTED)
Thomas McGuire flew P-38 Lightning and was the 2nd highest ranking ace of WWII in the USA.
Gerhard Barkhorn was the only other ace after Erich Hartmann credited with more than 300 victories.
Erich Rudorffer credited with 222 victories and one of the last of the great expertes (born in 1917, died in 2016)
Hans-Joachim Marseille one of the greates flying ace died in an aviation accident in September 1942. He was credited 158 victories all against experienced Western Allied pilots mosly in the North African desert. He is my all time favorite flying ace. He had excellent aerobatic deflection shooting skills. His desert colored Bf-109F-4 was the much feared "Yellow 14".
Ilmari Juutilainen "only" scored 94 1/6 kills making him the all time highest non-German flying ace. Finnish pilots were one of the best as they most of the time flew obsolate aircrafts against the odds and scored incredible results with them.
Ivan Kozhedub was a really scary enemy to face in air combat.

Where is Eddie Rickenbacker, the top American ace of WWI, with 28 confirmed kills?
As i say thia guy is really nit good at making videos
Amazing what he did in a year. Had he fought for four years like the Germans, French, and Brits. He would have probably been the Ace of Aces in the war.
26.....
This list is incomplete. There were several American aces left off, and two Chinese aces in the Korean War downed at least 8 planes each also (at least one of them was infamous for even being able to bring down Sabres on a great day).
Excellent video!
You could add Josef František, one of the greatest aces of Battle of Britain and best Czech pilot.

The list looks good to me, but I think Grigory Rechkalov or Alesandr Pokryshkin (top aces of P-39) and Hans-Joachim Marseille (the only pilot who knocked down 3 aces in a single fight) are missing.
@Prestallar According to my "source guy" Marseille was a sniper in the air. Even in one kilometer distance his stave would always go from the beginning of the engine to the end of the cnnopy of the enemy aircraft, so either the enige failed or the pilot died. Always.

You're leaving out Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, the highest scoring night fighter ace in history with 121 kills in BF 110. Boyington did not shoot down 28 aircraft in Corsairs. 22 in Corsairs and 6 as members of the AVG. David McCambell is the only 2 time American fighter pilot to become "ace in a day". Otto Kittel shot down 220 aircraft in FW 190 and 47 in BF 109. Yes, he still was the highest-scoring FW 190 ace. Also, Kittel was the highest scoring German fighter ace killed in action during WWII.

Again, as so many mentioned, Allied pilots rotated out after so many missions. U.S. pilots was 200 combat hours I believe, RAF, 250. Germans fought until they died or can’t fight anymore.
I would then add these two factors also. 2. Odds against Germans. By 1944, the skys belonged to the Allies. Enrich Hartman sarcastically said we had a target rich environment! This told the tale! By 1944, the Americans alone can put up a force of 800 B-17’s escorted by no less than 600 fighters! If you are good and lucky, you can become a triple ace in a day against THAT kind of odds…..If the numbers don’t kill you first!
3. Odds for the Americans. Conversely, by 1944, the Luftwaffe was a spent force. Yes, production rose even with allied bombings, but not nearly to keep up with the allies (besides, quality was what suffered the most). This plus a train wreck of a fuel and pilot situation meant the Luftwaffe can barely send anything in the air. Operation Boldenplatte was the Jadgtwaffe’s, literally, last shot. Afterwards, they truly were a spent force. An American pilot remembered the only one time he ever heard someone yelled, “Bogey! 4 o’clock low!” Before he can react, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 of his fellow pilots swooped in. The only thing he saw was a dot trailing black smoke going down! Many Americans pilots used their allotted 200 hours without ever seeing a single German plane. Hard to get kills when you don’t have anything to kill against!
@@StryderK I think the length of the rotation of allied pilots were not based on combat hours, but combat missions. For the RAF, 50 for the fighter pilots and 25 for the heavy bombers.
This explains why the Allied new pilots were much better prepared for their first combat mission than the German ones and why at the end, the Luftwaffe had a small core of highly efficient aces and a large amount of bad-trained pilots.
@@nicolas2419 for the USAAF, bombers are based on number of missions completed, 27 initially, 32 later if I remember correctly. Fighter pilots, on the other hands, was number of combat hours completed. USAAF, 200. RAF eventually also switched to that at 250 hours completed.
I assume that this has been roughly shortened
there are more german aces from the first world war than the total number of pilots listed here
If they listed all German ace that score more than 66 kill the video will be hours
I love how the 0-20 kills category has lots of jets, but the 30-40 category has all propeller planes from WW2...
Air combat was significantly reduced after WW2 with only notable ones are Korea, Vietnam, Middle East, Iran-Iraq, and Indo-Pakistan wars
more battles and more enemies.
Amazing video. Wow.
I like Your animations bro.
Me playing warthunder looking at my stats:
Swedish and finnish planes are the best in kill/death rate
I just looked and right now I've got 666 air kills lol
I just unlocked rank 2 in USSR,the Yak 1 is amazing
@@eironn__ swedish 13.2mm go brrr
Me playing ace combat!
Damm.Them Germans really knew how to fly i guess.
He actually missed a lot of german aces with more than 50 kills
And some allies aces but if all the worlds aces was in the vid it would be to long
@@jensole8939 Yeah. So i'd imagine.
@@danijellino1921 The Luftwaffe had over 100 pilots with over 100 kills. The number they had between 50 and 100 I don't know, but probably quite a few. And the Soviet Union sits on the 1st to 11th place of Allied pilots. But they only mention one of them, the leading one, Ivan Kozhedub, and instead focus on a lot of lower ranking Western pilots with kills only in 20 range. But yeah, vid would be too long. And youtube doesnt want Soviet to look good.
One word to describe ...Sensational....Av
Good work final song epic👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have American markings on Clive Calwell's P-40. He was Australian. In the desert his P-40 had British roundels, and in Australia his Spitfires carried Australian RAAF roundels (blue outer, white centre: like a Brit roundel without the red dot).
According to some of the highest scoring German aces, Joachim of Marseille was the very best German fighter pilot. He got 120+ kills but sadly had the unluckiest of deaths.
I'm glad to see you have included Pat Pattle, the Ace of aces.
Amazing work as always!
Thank you so much 😀
You may have overlooked Gerd Barkhorn with 301 kills. While admittedly a far second to Hartmann, he deserves recognition as the only other fighter pilot with at least 300 victories; this is the most exclusive club in the world.
What many dont realize is Barkhorn was laid up with a broken back for 6 months. Had he not been out of action HARTMANNS record would have been attainable. Gerd was a phenomenal fighter pilot once downing 3 british spitfires in less than 30 seconds while using only 40 cannon rounds. Incredible shooting even by Marsailles standards
You forgot about Indra Lal Roy who had 10 aerial victories and was the only Indian WW1 flying ace while serving the RAF
Salute for M M Alam pakistani pilot.
Pretty good doc. I worked with a guy in L.E who was directly related to Preddy,
normie - wow, ace pilots!
me - Strike Witches! oh, boy!
Was hoping to see Gunther Rall with 275 victories. His story is amazing.
Was looking for this one
If you want an amazing story, read A Higher Call, it's about Franz Stigler. Just an incredible story. he was also a German ace, not sure how high he ranks
Can u do some vids about future weapons?
Why do lists like this always forget Walter Nowotny, Austria's top ace with 250 something victories and was the first jet commander in history?
same question !!! when it came to the +100 kills i was like "yeah now i will see Nowotny in his full chrome painted 262" and at the end i was like ... FUCK OFF
@@haydentenno6773 Nowotny is one of my all time favorites (along with Schnaufer, Richthofen, Scheele, Boelcke, Arigi, Voss) and it's sad that everyone pretty much forgets him and his record in military aviation history.
@@ZeppelinAdventures25 i discovered this pilot in Pierre Clostermann's book nammed "Le Grand Cirque" he talks about the moment where its friend shot down a chrome painted 262 on its way to landing, passing through about a thousand of AA guns, they got to know his name in the newspaper the next day and the whole french squadron agreed on the fact they would have be the best friends of the war was not here ... DUDE HE IS LITTERALY THE CHROMED BARON WHY DOES EVERYBODY FORGET HIM
This is amazing video! Thank you for your work and devotion!
As for the names selection, I could say it's more a matter of taste. There were much more ace fighters and most of them were Germans. Just in WWII 104 of the Luftwaffe fighters got 100 and more victories and 34 of them have had 150 and more. There were also 4 Soviet sky fighters with 60 or more personal/group victories (Kozhedub 64/0, Rechkalov 61/4, Pokryshkin 59/6, Gulaev 55/5). Anyway, great work!
Hush. We just pretend the Russians didn't exist. Video HAD to include Kozhedub, but only him. It is too embarrassing for the Brits and the Americans. 10 or 11 Soviet pilots had higher tally than any Western. That is not good, especially nowadays. And of course, vid would be too long if they showed all the +100 Luftwaffe guys - not to mention the Luftwaffe guys between 50 and 100.
Yeah, scratch my earlier comment! Even a cursory search of Wikipedia, will show you literally hundreds of aces, with massive kills between Hartman and the Alies
Gregory "Pappy" Boyington lived on the street* behind me when I was a kid and during the run of the show Black Sheep Squadron(maybe reruns?). A group of us kids would ride our bikes in front of his house and act out being planes shooting each other. He would yell out to us "he's on your tail" or something like that..good time, great memory.
*Fresno/Clovis, Ca
Good vid!What about Szentgyörgyi Dezső of RHAF with his 30 confirmed victories?!
Quite fun that the red baron is usually associated with Fokker Triplane, even though he shot down only 19 planes out of 80
Albatross Biplane?
@@ginaespedido3444 yeah
Probably the highest Halberstadt D-series ace too, as he flew a Halberstadt D.III in Feb.-March of 1917 after almost dying in an Albatros D.III when it's wing failed.
Scored...I want to say 11? without looking it up...kills in his Halberstadt.
I think you missed Tetsuzo Iwamoto of Japan - credited with 94 confirmed victories (or 202 according to his own diaries)
Heinrich is probably my favorite ace among all with the me262
Stanisław Skalski is missing - 20 shoot-downs
You forgot about Stanisław Skalski. A polish ww2 ace who had 18 confirmed kills.
But this is still a good video.
My history is a bit rusty, but didn't the Germans have a whole bunch of outstanding fighter pilots? I think we're missing a few here.
a few is an understatement
Walter Nowotny (around 250) per example and also a WW1 french ace nammed Charles Guynemer (around 53)... i think the guys who upload these videos just dont give a fuck about real history XD he just wants to fill his list
@@haydentenno6773Good point.
Not an exhaustive list, to be sure.
Hans Ulrich Rudel Rudel was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, one battleship one cruiser , 70 landing craft and 150 artillery emplacements. He claimed 51 aerial victories and the destruction of more than 800 vehicles. You missed the baddest .
А в уничтожении звёзды смерти он не участвовал.
There is a character from strike witches for sakamoto , iilmari and hartman XD nice
WW2 top ace is not listed.
Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer shot down 121 RAF bombers at night. Most of them four engined with 7 men crews.
Schnaufer's strategic impact is far greater than Hartmann's.
Buddy, the ww2 top ace is Erich Hartmann.
That is true. Most of Hartmann's kills were outdated LAGGs, one engined fighter, withdrawn from front line service. Yes, Hartmann was good, of course - but he actually wasted his time. The fighters he shot down bore no strategic significance whatsoever.
Missing Eddie Rickenbacker, America's top Ace of WW1 with 26 victories.
Something about this music really brings out a tearful tribute to aviators...
Cool
You forgot about James Jabara - the first American and United States Air Force jet ace (15 kills during the Korean War).
James Jabara was built dufferent
Not forgetting, out scored by Joe McConnell.
American Korean War scores are very questionable. Sometimes 3 pilots got a kill for 1 MiG. Or even if a MiG was hit it was considered a kill.
@@scudb5509 us confirmation claims system has never changed. All kills are witnessed, and are backed up with gun camera.
@@WALTERBROADDUS Is that why the kill ratio is constantly going down?
As I said. You can witness 3 planes shoot at a MiG and give a score to all 3 pilots. Or you can witness a hit, but a plane made it back.
There are more than 100 German pilots from World War II in excess of 100 kills. I think you have made a very uneven statistic
Well then the entire list would be germans and it would be boring
Most of them have overestimated numbers for propaganda purposes and not confirmed
Certain exaggerations in the number of kills occurred in all air forces. Also in the North American, British or Japanese. The Luftwaffe scrutinized the kills its pilots reported according to a strict directive and did not easily dismiss them. So if we don't believe German victories, we shouldn't believe those of other countries' aces either. Also, if the legend that the Soviets offered a bounty for "the black devil," as Hartmann was called, is true, I don't think it was because it falsified their victories. And I do not believe that the victories of legends such as Hans-Joachim Marseille, Werner Mölders, Walter Nowotny or Adolf Galland, pilots recognized as great aviation aces throughout the world, and who are not mentioned in the video, are false.
@@vfa2gwarthunder816 also not to mention that german pilots did not have a carrer e d for missions and most would fly till they died, and the fact that a good portion of the war the germans where fighting against much more inferior planes from the soviet union. Not to mention on the wester front they where fighting mostly large slow bombers
The fact that the German pilots flew to death, apart from not being entirely true, would be reason enough for the author of the video to have taken them further into consideration. That the Soviet planes were inferior to the Germans is simply false, especially in the second half of the war. And that on the western front the German pilots only faced slow bombers is also false. They faced the best bombers of the moment who also had a large fighter escort for much of the war. What is certain is that during the middle of the war, the Allied air forces were numerically vastly superior to the Luftwaffe, which gives more credit to what the German pilots achieved.
Legend has it that once you make over 100 kills in an aircraft, you are awarded the highest medal of all. This medal is awarded regardless of nation. The DogHouse Medal is complete with an image of a cartoon beagle saluting you.
Nice...👍👍
I'm here because there are rumors going on in social media about the "Ghost of Kyiv" with 6 aircraft kills. This would be the 1st ace in the 21st Century
Me, an Ace combat player: Those numbers are insultingly low.
you are missing like 50+ luffwaffe pilots but there were to many
Really good video
I see you're a man of culture as wel
Very incomplete list. There are more then a dozen germans with 100+ kills
Actually, there were more than a hundred German aces with at least a hundred victories in the Second World War....
This video would last an hour.
Would be nice if someone were to actually make a complete list lol idc if it’s long
Die letzten drei sind die Besten.
Love from Japan, a former ally
Congratulations on your 100th birthday, Mr. Hugo Broch! 06.01.22 . He is the best fighter Pilot alive with 81 victorys. All the best and health! Or as we aviators say „Hals und Beinbruch " ! As far as I know, you are the last living fighter pilot with a knight's cross.
good
MM Alam is our hero of country sky. we all are proud of our fighters. Pakistan Zindaband
Did he ever did that ? No. All his claims are utter imaginations.
On 7th September,1965, IAF carried out 6 raids on Pak airbases( Mostly on Sargodha).
Strike no 1: 7 Mystere aircrafts ( 1 loss )
Strike no 2: 8 Mystere aircrafts ( 0 loss )
Strike no 3: 5 Hunter aircrafts ( 1 loss )
Strike no 4: 5 Hunter aircrafts ( 2 loss )
Strike no 5: 4 Mystere aircrafts ( 0 loss )
Strike no 6: 2 Mystere aircrafts ( 1 loss )
It was during strike no 4 that MM Alam and PAF claimed to shoot down 5 Hunters on the raid.
First proof :- Only 2 aircraft wreckages found. In no way other Hunters could have crashed in India because they were 55 miles away from the Border. So Pakistan was able to produce only two wreckages.
Second Proof :- Strike no 4 was led by Wg Cdr Zachariah, with S/L Lamba and S/L Sinha escorted by S/L Bhagawat and Fly. Off JS Brar.
The three of the pilots returned back safely and in fact S/L Lamba and S/L Sinha later went on to become Air Marshals of IAF and Zachariah is in UK.
Only two escort Hunters flown by S/L Bhagawat and Fly. Off JS Brar were shot down by MM Alam.
No other pilot in PAF claimed the kills so MM Alam was awarded the kills.
Third Proof:- PAF regularly kept changing the names of the pilots victim to MM Alam to prove the fake five kills.
First they took names of S/L Devayya, F/L Guha and S/L Kacker.
As we all know, S/L Devayya and F/L Guha were Mystere pilots and not Hunter pilots.
S/L Devayya was part of Strike No 1 and was shot down by F/L Hussein and F/L Guha was part of strike no. 6 and was short down by F/L A.H Malik.
S/L Kacker was indeed a Hunter Pilot but was part of strike no 3. There was a gap of 18 minutes between Strike no 3 and Strike no 4. So, how can Alam intercept both the strikes at a single time ?
Also it is reported that S/L Kacker’s Hunter had an engine failure and therefore he ejected. Maybe this can be false, but MM Alam can clearly not shoot down aircrafts from different strikes at different time simultaneously.
Later they again changed the names and said that S/L A.K Rawlley and F/O F.D Bunsha are those who were shot down.
Yes, they both were Hunter pilots but none of them engaged MM Alam on 7th September. AK Rawlley faced MM Alam on 6th while F.D Bunsha engaged MM Alam on 16th September.
On 6th September, MM Alam in a three jet formation went on to raid Adampur IAF base. They aborted the raid because four Hunters intercepted them, who were themselves going for a raid at Pak Army Installations.
It is here when MM Alam faced AK Rawlley. MM Alam successfully shot down one Hunter and claimed to shoot down one more Hunter flown by AK Rawlley. But he was himself not confident whether he shot down AK Rawlley or not.
AK Rawlley was flying very low and while performing a maneuver, he cart- wheeled into the sand.
Once again, MM Alam was given credit for two kills though he shot down only one.
On 16th September, MM Alam in a two jet formation was intercepted by F/L Pinglae and F/O FD Bunsha. It was here when MM Alam shot down FD Bunsha and also claimed to shoot down F/L Pinglae.
He was again credited with two kills but F/L Pinglae landed back safely and narrated the dogfight. F/L Pinglae shot down MM Alam’s number 2 and even chased him but MM Alam cruised to his base as he was low on fuel.
So, even after PAF desperately tried to prove 5 kills, they failed.
MM Alam scored only 4 kills throughout the war and not 9.
PAF CLAIMS:
6th Sep: 2 Jets
7th Sep: 5 Jets( In 30 seconds, LMAO )
16th Sep:2 Jets
REALITY:
6th Sep: 1 Jet
7th Sep: 2 Jet( Brar and Bhagwat )
16th Sep:1 Jet
Many people believe S/L Kacker to be shot down by MM Alam on 7th September but it’s literally impossible. There was a gap of 18 MINUTES between Strike 3 and Strike 4.
I think PAF had S/L Rafiqui better than MM Alam.
Neither PAF/ MM Alam nor their boot licker John Fricker was able to prove 5 Kills in 30 seconds.
@XxVENOMxX mm Alam him self faile to prove big shoot down 5 aircraft neither provide evidence by par so just fals claiming.
@XxVENOMxX keep on dreaming!! Fals claim/faks glorify/ fals narrative...keep going 👍
@@MohanMajhiMurmu why you carrying. hoo indian air force never get any achievements in 1965 war hahahah. that so bad hahahahahah
@@MohanMajhiMurmu 3 were confirmed. Not 2. The other 2 jets were heavily damaged by Alam. As for the sargodha raid losses. Those are purely Indian claim. Iaf lost 10 aircraft trying to raid sargodha. 5 to a2a combat and 5 to AAA. Read kaiser tufail article on it. It's the most neutral you can get.
Paul Tibbets - 70k
Josef Frantisek - 17 kills
Jan Zumbach - 11 kills
Witold Urbanowicz - 17 kills
Stanisław Skalski - 19 kills!
Bravo, La Calle, Tarazona, Meroño... Spanish aces, some of them both with the FARE and the VVS.

:O oh yeah
Gracias por incluir imágenes de las Strike Witches un buen😻😻 anime😻😻 distopico bastante original con el manejo de la SGM ojalá lo quieran ver espero que el excesivo fan service no les moleste y lo puedan disfrutar😺🐱🐈
I remember a story of an American ace who was credited with something ridiculous like seven kills in 12 minutes. The numbers may be slightly out but you get my drift. That meant he had to encounter them, engage, shoot enough to disable and then see them confirmed as a kill. Brave men and women all, but I think that the numbers are more than a bit rubbery. By the way the Australian ace killer Caldwell got his nickname by shooting enemy aircrew hanging in their parachutes.
