Historical Combat Music Videos, by LesOfPrimus....

[lesofprimus]

This thread is for linkbacks to all the Historical Aviation Music Videos Ive made since I started messing around with Windows Movie Maker.... Ive made 8 so far now and will use this thread to spread the wealth so to speak, as they are loaded up in the IL2 Gaming Section....

First one is the story of a decorated Russian Hero, who takes off on a scramble to stop Luftwaffe ground attack units from decimating a forward Soviet airbase... In the course of the mission, this no name Soviet pilot destroys 12 enemy aircraft, and then gives up in his own during a head on pass with a 37mm armed Hs 129B-2....

That was my first ever attempt, here's my second...

July 18th, 1944, IV./JG3, led by myself playing the part of Gruppen Kommanduer Wilhelm Moritz, takes off from Memmingen Airbase in true blooded Sturm fashion, goin after the unescorted B-17's of the 483rd BG of the 15th.... Their mission is to bomb my airfield which has approximatly 80 or so twin engined Me 110's and 210's... After the bombers run on Memmingen, an escort flight of P-38's comes in to the rescue....

This is a factual mission that cost the 8th AF a bunch of bombers.... I tore em up, raking up 9 kills... Here it is...

For my 3rd video, I choose to get sincere about the realism of actual combat missions....

March 2nd, 1945.. Taking off from Sachau Airbase in Germany, the Ta 152H-1's of III./JG301, with me flying Willi Reschkes' Black 13, take off to escort my fellow brothers in their Fw 190A-8/9's of III. Gruppe towards Magdeburg...

In real life, the Bf 109G-10's of IV./JG301 mistakenly attacked the Ta 152H's, scattering them and thus, putting an end to the anticipated showdown between the Ta 152H-1's and the P-51D Mustangs of the 78th, 339th, 353rd and the 357th Fighter Groups...

This video shows what would have happened had the 109G-10's not attacked their own...

The After Action Report that I filed lists 7x P-51 victories and 3x B-17 victories.... The P-51D is no match for the Ta 152H in any flight envelope... I made kills in tight turns, flat out speed, and a couple of kills in a steep climb... I took a bunch of .50 calibre rounds from the bombers, but nothing serious other than a fuel leak...

I actually ran out of gas on my landing approach...

My 4th video I decided I had become proficient enough to put together a VMF-214 Tribute to Lt. Bill Case, based on an actual combat mission he flew in which he bagged two Zeros....

Friday Morning 0930
October 15th, 1943
Munda Airfield
Central Solomon Islands

Major Greg Boyingtons division of 4 aircraft is scheduled for a sweep after a B-24 raid on Kangu Hill supply depot near Kahili Airbase...

It didnt go quite as planned...

They ended up over Kahili Airfield before the bombers got there and watched the Zeros taking off....

Circling while the bombers dropped their loads, Boyington, Tucker on his wing, and 1st Lt. Bill Case, Emrich on his wing, noticed a group of 12 Zekes climbing to engage the B-24's.... Enjoying a tremendous advantage, the 4 Blacksheep dropped down on the Zeros and tore them up...

Case and Emrich each got 2 a piece, with Tucker getting 1, and Boyington getting another as well as 3 probables... It was Bill Cases' first and only muti-kill day and his 6 and 7th victories out of 8 kills in 3 combat tours in the Pacific...

For my 5th one, I decided to re-create the mission parameters of the airfield protection Staffel of JV44....

0910
April 17th, 1945
München-Riem Airfield
Germany, April 1945

Lt. Heinz "Wimmersal" Sachsenberg, Staffelkapitän of the Platzschutzstaffel of JV 44, climbs into his Red and White Striped Fw 190D-9, coded "Red 1", for another airfield protection mission... The Me 262's are ready to intercept a box of B-17's heading NE of the airfield, and its the job of the Sachsenberg Schwarm to guard them from prowling Allied Fighters...

Once they got to orbiting the airfield at 600 meters, the radio comes alive with reports that the British 2nd TAF has planes in the vicinity.... No sooner do the 262's start down the runway, when out of the clouds pour Spitfires and Tempests....

Game on......

This video represents a scenario that could have happened... I claim 3 Spitfires and 1 Tempest certainly destroyed...

Video number six I decided to do another Tribute, this time to my friend and fellow member Bill Marshall, whose father Bert Marshall led one of the most combat effective units in the 8th AF....

My most recent project was to create the most accurate video of an actual combat mission.... I chose for my topic Drgondogs father, Major Bert Marshall, who flew with the 355th FG, 354th FS.... This video depicts his Sept 11th, 1944 mission in which he scored 2 kills and a probable over Bf190G's from JG53....

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Drgondog, Grau Geist, Erich and myself, Im proud to present this video... It was a huge undertaking that took months of research and preperation.... Its a big one and its just short of 7 minutes, but it tells the entire mission.... Every fact was verified using pictures, combat reports and first hand knowledge...

[lesofprimus]

The 8th and most recent, infact I just finished it up today is a story centering around a group of Ju87G's attacking a Soviet waterfront assembly point led by Hans Rudel, with and without the air support they so desperatly needed, provided by none other than Gerhard Barkhorn himself....

Hope u enjoy, and as always, comments are encouraged.....

[lesofprimus]

Only 2:43 in length, not long enough for my kind of vids.... And besides, its about the music I like and the planes I love, intermixed into sort of a hybrid basterdized version of reality...

 

[Astaldo711]

Terrific! Every time I watch one of these, I can't wait to get home and play! Very nicely done.

Video Number 9....

Video is all about George "Buzz" Beurling, whose Canadian ass was flyin Spifires over Malta with Squadron 249 on October 14th, 1942...

In this Historical Mission Portrayal, Beurling snared one Ju-88 and two Bf-109s... But he forgot about his own tail, while going after his next victim... His Spit got peppered with cannon shells, being wounded in the chest, leg and heel.... Semiconscious, he managed to bail out of his holed Spitfire MkVc before a hoard of 109's....

Enjoy...

Around 2:50, did he really shoot the the pilot that had baled out????
