May 8, 1942, Battle of the Coral Sea. Lieutenant Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa from Scouting Squadron FIVE (VS-5) in an SBD Dauntless, is in patrol over the aircraft carrier U.S.S. YORKTOWN (CV-5). Fate has a surprise for Vejtasa and his rear gunner, Radioman 3rd Class Frank B Wood, as they are forced to face off in battle against the deadly Zero. Not one, but 3 of them. The chances of the relatively slow bomber surviving the clash are extremely slim. There can only be one winner in this one-sided battle, but despite the odds, can the Dauntless prevail?

Hi Yarnhub hope you will more on dogfights from world war 1
Hey @Yarnhub I want to tell you a interesting video I just want you not too long ago for your idea for your other channel CZcams ghost story and Cryptids can you do the crazy ghost story called Ghosts of Flight 401 it is really interesting Ghost Story 2 passenger airline crash in Florida swamp the plane crash what other people survive in the other people did not survive right after the crash other Airline flight people on boards on their flight they see ghost pilot angle screw on the plains can you make a video of that on your other channel please and please reply when you have a chance to
Balls
Can you pls make a ww2 tank video i am realy interested in that
I love hearing about battles with long odds regardless of whether they're individuals or whole people's. And you chose one great story Yarnhub.
The fact that are real stories from WW2 is amazing
Naw ww2 never happened lad 😅
The fact your name is Germanballein talking about WW2 is insane
@mattlad2004 exactly fs, was just a collective mirage on a really hot European day.
@@isaacrobinson240lol we all had our WW2 Phases as a kid, let him enjoy.
@@mattlad2004u clearly never studied war history how about the Spartans vs Pers? Did that not happen?
This is crazy!!! 1 dive bomber is not supposed to be able to tackle 1 zero, not to mention 3 and come out of it alive! Totally incredible!!!!!
It goes to show that it doesn't matter the number of forces you bring doesn't matter how advanced your equipment is if you don't have the wit you lose its been seen in history
Ww2 the ancient greek Spartans hell even a bomber plan to be 3 zeros
Actually the Douglas SBD, without a bombload, was a surprisingly nimble aircraft. Not very fast, but incredibly strong with two forward firing machine guns, she could do more than just "lay eggs"! I heard somewhere they were actually used as escorts in a pinch. My favorite WW2 aircraft.
Yes, during WWII the Dauntless shot down more enemy planes than it was itself shot down.
I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding after the last Zeke. A diy CZcams video isn't supposed to be more entertaining and exciting than a Hollywood flick 😅!
Reality is always more incredible than fantasy.
Plus they collided in mid air and sbd is still alive,jesus.
The fact he made a TRAILER for it its amazing
We’re going to start doing this for most films from now on
@@Yarnhubcool
@@Yarnhub Bro can y'all make one about the Emden and her prize crew's escape back to Germany?
You made a mistake at 4:06 , the zero is pointing dead ahead but the bullets just magically dive down. Amazing content, by the way.@@Yarnhub
@@MatteoBelongsInAmentalHospitalgravity
Bro his animations are better than some animated movies LIKE HOW DOES HE ANIMATE SOOOO GOOD?!?! 😮
It's a team and God damn is their team being paid good
the animation is decent, graphics is the one thats great. if you want sone good animation then i recommend a 27 min long 3d animated video called: Battle of Santa cruz island’s documentary
The animation of the character’s emotions and the dubbing are getting more realistic than the previous videos, I liked the way of dubbing in different languages for the characters from two different countries instead of just using English
Idk bat yea
the character voices are also getting good
I remember this story from my childhood. There was this TV programme "Dogfights", loved it so much.
I knew it!! I loved that show! And now my favorite CZcams channel is showing the story from my younger days!! It’s amazing!
You can still watch them on youtube even today
Long odds? I watched that episode on youtube
@@darthdooku6246 Oh yeah! Great freaking episode!
@@darthdooku6246 yup
The zero tricking them into thinking that he ran out of ammo was a 1000 IQ move
Fr
My question is, why not just fire when the Dauntless was in his crosshairs?
@@anunprofessionalfrog1180 It was a trick to make the dauntless think the guy ran out of ammo. And that meant the dauntless wouldn’t care even if it was in the zero’s crosshairs
@@inff3rno yeah, but the Dauntless was already in its crosshairs, so what was the point of delaying it?
@@anunprofessionalfrog1180To make it an easier target. Its harder to hit someone is actively evading than someone who isn't. He made them think that he didn't have ammo so they would stop flying defensively and try to outrun him which would make them an easy target.
Swede Vejtasa is a madman facing three Zeros in a friggin Bomber. I remember this from History Channel's Dogfights in their "Long Odds" episode (Bombers vs Fighters) and as one pilot said, they sit on thr shoulders of giants like Swede Vejtasa purely because of the unbelievable feats they did in their service. There are differences on the plots from that episode as the collision from the third Zero on Dogfights was frontal while here, they had a collision while performing a "Flat Scissors" maneuver.
Anyway. Details aside. I loved every bit of this... And seriously excited about the "To be Continued" on the end credits. 😁
I understand that, after being changed to manning a fighter (F4F Wildcat), he managed Ace in a Day - with a couple to spare. In the end, Vejtasa won the Navy Cross both for dive bombing and aerial combat - the only pilot to do so.
Yarnhub have done old 666 and now they've done this one, all they are missing from that dogfights episode I think is the F-105 vs multiple MiGs
I am perplexed. If this is the same incident covered by Dogfights it was presented very differently like a series of head on attacks and sharp 180° turns by both Vejtasa and the Zeroes. Even the mid air collision with the last Zero was different as during a head on attack, not scissors. I wonder who got it right.
Yes, the History channel Dogfights (S1, E9), totally different sequence of events. You have to believe the Dogfights version as Swede himself is giving the play by play. No offense to Yarnhub, I still absolutely love this channel !!!!
@@MrMarco6900 That's what I thought too. Yarnhub's version is more cinematic and enjoyable though. Also IIRC Dogfights does not mention Vejtasa using his diving brakes to make a Zero overshoot him as they were never on his six to begin with.
That transition to the sponsor was smooth
Indeed 😂 I thought the exact same thing
foreal😂😂
😂
Damn that was good Fair play ! 🙂

I don't think I've ever been more excited by a To Be Continued in my life.
So true!
The best thing I like about Captain Vetesa is his ability to stay calm under pressure. He was one of so many aviators in the pacific theater that contributed in the early years of the war. A true dogfighter he was.🫡
Were so ready. I hope USS Enterprise will get a video. She deserves recognition no matter the era post her service in WW2.
I think the Enterprise has had enough series about it (Next Generation being the best), time for something new.
@@SunSailandSand The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) (until 1975 CVAN-65) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1961, the ship was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and for many years the largest warship in the world. Even after being replaced by the USS Nimitz as the largest warship in 1975, she was still the longest warship in the world at 342.3 meters. The Enterprise was the eighth ship and second aircraft carrier of that name in the US Navy, after the World War II Enterprise. She was the first and only of a class of aircraft carriers originally planned to consist of six ships, which were not built for cost reasons. The Enterprise served for more than 50 years[1] and took part in all major US Navy operations, including the naval blockade of Cuba, the Vietnam War and the First Gulf War. More recently, it also took part in the war on international terrorism and the Iraq War. On December 1, 2012, the Enterprise was deactivated and finally decommissioned on February 3, 2017.[2] She was replaced by USS Gerald R. Ford, commissioned on July 22, 2017.[3][4] The name of the ship will in the future be adopted by the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-80), which is currently under construction.
@@SunSailandSand I think it's more in the way of Battle 360.
@@SunSailandSand Speaking of Enterprise. The new Enterprise (CVN-80) should be coming out of NewPort News Naval Shipyard soon.
Animarchy History has a great 4-part documentary about her.
I think this is one of the best dog fights story's i ever heard, good job yarnhub, amazing video/animations and sound efects.
This video truly deserves a trailer as it it no less than a movie....the days Yarnhub posts are the best days of the week!!
As a Papua New Guinean,thank you Yarnhub for telling the lesser known stories of these brave men who fought in the area around my country whether on land, at sea or in the air.Massive respect ❤
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
There were ten men not 9.
@@SunSailandSand I’m aware, I was more referring to the soldiers of the Newfoundland Regiment, as I’m a Newfoundlander, but there was also member of the Essex Regiment.
I knew this story from my childhood. My Great-uncle was a dive-bomber as well as torpedo pilot. My father flew A-4 Skyhawks so I grew up in a Naval air household. I want to thank you all who made this story come to life.
I've always love these WW2 stories, especially from Swede Vejtasa, who's from the very same State that I'm from, and that's Montana!!🥳🎉👍
This story especially, has been told and retold numerous times! It's a very fun true story, told and retold by all different angles and viewpoints!
Anyway, great job on retelling this story Yarnhub!😎👍 I've bet you guys had a lot of fun doing this.☺
This confirms what I have always said, that it is the pilot, not the aircraft who determines the result of a combat. If the pilot is skilled, and knows how to use his aircraft, he can beat a technically superior plane but with a less capable pilot.
An incredible video, Yarnhub! A true tribute to the most incredible dogfight of WW2! I turned 60 yesterday...Thank you for such a glorious birthday present.
I’m honestly amazed at this feat of piloting. One would think that turnfighting a zero even in a purpose built fighter would be a death sentence. This guy is an absolute madlad
I can hardly wait for part 2! Swede went on to a remarkable career during WW2 as a fighter pilot. Racking up victories during the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. Enough can not be said about the wonderful graphics and storylines. Yarnhub, you do history a great service with your dedication to it. A very heartfelt Thank-you!
I’m so excited for part two, I can’t wait for it. Before this I’d never heard of Swede somehow but now I can’t wait to hear what other feats he accomplished.
@@shaqtus3365 Go watch the Dogfights episode Long Odds.

the transition to the add was smooooth
I absolutely LOVE the new style where you add all the voiceovers and make it almost into a short movie!!! It's spectacular!
The difference in quality is immense between these last few videos and your videos from 2 years ago when I started watching. Keep up the good work!
My dad, who had a dad that was sensitive about war, absolutely LOVES your content. I show him some of your videos and he loves it.
I remember how once when i was showing him a video about planes in the pacific here, i don't remember which, but when a fighter missed the target he said
"HELVETTE, SIKTA OCH SKJUT! SÅ JÄVLA LÄTT!"
(Translated from Swedish, means "HELL, AIM AND SHOOT! SÅ FRICKIN EASY!")
It's not the plane, it's the pilot.
At the beginning of WWII, the zero one of the best planes, but it was designed in such a way, improvements couldn't be installed _(realistically speaking)_ the allied planes got better and better and eventually they surpasssed the Zero. It also helped that the U.S. had the natural resources and manufacturing capability that Japan didn't. We were able to build planes meant specifically to fight the Zero, like the Corsair. Japan couldn't keep up with our industry and engineering. Interestingly, the Zero couldn't be upgraded like our F-22 currently. _(But the F-35 can.)_
In reality, it's both.
I don't know if it's my age, but I find this animation style incredibly satisfying.
Thank you yarnhub, you guys keep the stories about these brave people alive.
The animating of the stories sets this channel apart from all the other history channels I love. Good deal.
Been watching for awhile now, this channel has come so far from where it started and I can’t wait till you guys get the much deserved recognition for your work and detail in remaking historical events, the animation, the style, etc, you guys are great and I can’t wait to watch the channel grow more
Thank you so much to the whole Yarnhub team! You guys are amazing, such a good video
Another great story! I love how your team added real Japanese dialog with subtitles.
The nuances and minute details of your animations are AMAZING! Keep it up fellows!
THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS!
I love that you insert actual photos of the people involved to pay homage to them.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Stunning,improving every time. thanks for keeping their memories alive. Like how you corrected the tube of the breathing mask
Incredible story and video, I can’t wait to see the channel overshoot 1 million subs and keep flying on to new heights
No doubt, this IS the best channel on YT. The graphics and narration just keep getting better.
The history channel once a show called dogfight and did a segment on this. I have to say I loved it when I was younger and now you have passed the bar on how amazingly good you tell it. Thank you for providing amazing content.
That was the most epic battle you have ever done. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Glad to see Vejtasa's story as he has Czech (or back than Bohemain) herritage and it's a bit sad his story is not that well known in my homeland.
Well, then we are at least two here. And i agree that his heroism should be recognized even here.
I will be ready to watch this when i come home from school :) for me it starts at 4:15 pm and i'll be home by 4:10 pm!
For me it is 11:15 start 🥲
For me it is 8:45 pm
for me its also 16:15 just in time for me to watch it while driving to winterbreak
You are the first comment congrats
Thanks for doing this one, I’ve wanted to see your perspective of this fight! “Swede” one of many heroes of the Pacific! Thank you again Yarnhub!!
Fantastic and captivating video as always. Thank you!
Oh, my, lord. This is an incredible story and amazing animation on top of it. I know a little about the pilot and I can't wait for what comes next.
Ace in a day baby
10:07 the Japanese pilot's head clips through the glass a bit. Other than that, another sublime piece of animation. Well done boys! And props to the voice actors again.
10gs is crazy. Pilots would start to 'gray-out' around 6-7. No wonder the rear gunner passed out.
Animation … beautiful, excellent quality. Many thanks!
everything down to the voice acting is so well done. I've been watching for a while and you guys have improved so much
Honestly these videos are soo mind blowingly crazy good the voice acting is perfect your narration is so amazing the music and sound effects are on point and dont even get me started on the animation it all just comes together so perfectly
Wow, thank you!
Well done as always Yarnhub
Man these stories are such high quality now. Like it went from being low quality with no texture, to almost looking like a real movie. Great work man!
You guys have come so far! Really good work here team.
Legit the best segue into an ad on youtube...EVER.
Proper made me laugh.
Thank you
@@Yarnhub There are maybe 3 channels on youtube who I will post a link for without ever seeing the video, because they are always good.
You are one of those.
LOVE your channel.
A very fast upload schedule, and constantly improving quality, yarnhub is truly one of the best youtube channels. Keep being aweseome
Im gonna watch this over and over and see how many ads i can get
the amount of time and hardwork these videos would take is unimaginable. the amount of quality is just the best i have ever seen, deserves a sub and like
I love seeing that the videos are getting better in terms of quality as time goes on!
this is one my of favorite videos and doing a series on him is really cool idea keep up the great work
The SBD in SBD-3 stands for slow but deadly
"Scout Bomber Douglas" is what it actually stands for, but "Slow But Deadly" was its nickname.
Some amazing work as always !!!!
Great stories with awesome graphics, adds up to some great viewing. Bravo!
Once again you outdid yourself Yarnhub, and your animation just keeps getting better and better to the point it almost looks real. I really loved the shift of perspective between the Americans and the Japanese especially in their voicelines.
That’s how you know you applied for a wrong job.. US Navy put him in a proper seat right after , got a ton of respect for this aviator, long live his legacy..
this video was just amazing! the graphics and detail now are insanely good! keep up the great work!
another masterpiece - i can't image how your going to top this! Amazing work, Yarnhub!
The thought of this being more accurate than even the history channel version is insane to me
Amazing Video, getting better and better. Also today's sponsor, Ground News is on point.
As always; Great work!
Excellent narration, and graphics!
sooo amazing and exiting! you´re a great story teller! thx so much for this video! 👍👍
I can’t wait for this video
Spoilers 10:00
Dauntless uses Wing Attack!
It’s Super Effective!
This is wild!
Your channel has grown a lot, congratulations!
i am really suprised how much your animations have improved in a time of 2 years, that is just amazing
I remember this story!! Wasn’t it on an episode of Dogfights on the History Channel?? So much better!! It’s amazing!!!
0:43
The Zero was only lethal for its first few years. Because of lack of development it was outclassed by the Hellcat and especially the best fighter ever made; F4U Corsair.
Yes. But outclassed by a dive bomber? And three zeros outclassed by one dive bomber? That is just uncanny.
As a marine I took a lot of pride in knowing my history. After all who is he who does not know his history or what he fights for? I get the point on the Corsair. But let's be realistic. The F22 Raptor is the best fighter aircraft ever made and the one negative thing about the Marines is we use the Super Hornet since the F22 is not a carrier capable aircraft. But it is without a doubt deadlier than the upcoming F35B or C carrier models. Navy joke is we would fly F35s today but they're down for maintenance.
It wasn't the Zeke that made General Kenny scream for P-38s, but rather the Tony. The IJA had the benefit of not being limited to carrier capable aircraft, but could field more capable fighters. IJN was sort of stuck. The Zeke may have been well ahead of it's time, but it struggled even with the F4F with the F4F having a surprisingly better kill ratio. But then, the thing was nigh indestructible, and the Zeke had sacrificied everything for range and speed, and so was rather vulnerable.
Interestingly the F6F, F4U, and P-47 are all cousins in some sense. They all had the same powerplant. F6F had better attributes for naval operations though. Shorter nose, better visibility, and more stable flight characteristics until they solved the F4U's left wing stalls.
To be continued, such a tease
Loving these little unknown stories 👍
The animations just keep geting better, also the voice acting. Im so happy that I started watching when you just started out
The Animations are a lot better then last year
I remember watching this part in another video called dogfights: long odds where bombers, which includes dive bombers, are outmached by fighters
I always look forward to your videos Yarnhub. Brilliant as usual. Keep up the good work. I always stop to watch whenever I see you have a new video up.
Extremely well done. You outdo yourselves. Bravo and Aloha!
Dauntless says, *COME! SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR FURY AMONG YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND!*
A shout out to all the brave heros from the USA that traded their lives so that the Pacific and Australian regions could inherit peace and freedom- We are all in debt.
Pilots back then really had to earn thier pay cheques. Today's pilots have got it easy with technology.
THE LEGEND RETURNS
Looking forward to part 2!
To be continued… Yeah!
Did anyone else read this as "when a dumbass fought 3 zeros"
All I'm asking is did anyone misread? not why did the guy decide to fight
Just sounds like the average warthunder match to me
Just for a Bf109 to show up and steal the kills lol
Sometimes you just don't have a choice and it's fight to survive. That Dauntless didn't have the speed to escape. The zeros would have shot them up from behind while trying to escape.
"Makes sense; only an idiot would be brave enough to pull off those moves."
@@yourcomradeiron9160 that was me when i used to play war thunder, gave up on it then moved to the german tree
Amazing as always. Will always be a huge fan. I watch every video as soon as i see it
What an amazing tribute to a great man. Keeping the memory alive for future generations is a noble cause.
Do a Video about the F22 who told 2 F4s “Go Home”
That's like a F1 racing car telling a moped to go home...not very impressive at all.
I’m completely lost. I had my eyes closed during the last few minutes of this video. Did the pilot get the zero, or the rear gunner?
Please reply with the details.
Thank you,

Ok Umm The Pilots Sbd Wing hit the zeros Engine and the zero is down
@@ThatOne_RobloxGuy Hands down the dumbest reply I have read in days, sadly you do not see the irony in your idiotic statement.
You: "F22 who told 2 F4s “Go Home”
Also You: "How Could a F1 Talk to a Mop to go home like how could mops move they could only move by Humans"
BRILLIANT!!!!
honestly i hope the last japanese pilot survived too, he seemed very talented too
Petty Officer Shigeru Okura was his name. He ditched his damaged A6M after the fight with Vejtasa and survived unhurt.
thanks for the information! ^^@@Nachtsider
Dude. Your stuff keeps getting better and better. Thanks!
Man..good work! You and him both...
The Zero plus all Japanese planes were extremely outclassed by armor
This is gonna be awesome!

All these new videos my god the quality amazes me and that you are able to make them so fast is even more amazing
nahhh
this gives me chills cant wait for part two
my entire hand is filled with goose bumps
This is Art, definitely... 🚬
The book, "The First Team" highlights the unsung heroes. Many enlisted pilots in their late 20s, who were more mature, steady, held the line. The shortage of fighters up through Guadalcanal meant SBDs were pressed into service as carrier combat air patrol. The SBD, free of bomb weight, was still slow BUT very maneuverable, particularly with judicious use of flaps in a turn twin front .50cal and twin .30cal aft meant it could be a formidable opponent in skilled hands. The Zeroes had no radios at the time so coordinating attacks was hard.
this was the best one for a while, very exciting, loved the music
No better way to wake up than a brand new YardHub video😎 Awesome work you guys, your animation always blows me away - No matter how much I watch
