Holy Crap, Seeing World War II Air Combat Footage In Colour Is Just Nuts

Holy Crap, Seeing World War II Air Combat Footage In Colour Is Just Nuts

Wow. This incredible video of aerial combat in World War II has it all. And all of it is terrifying. From dog fights and kamikaze attacks to flak fire and carpet bombing to explosions and aerial combat, it captures the frantic frenzy of aerial warfare during WWII. It’s better than any movie because it actually happened.

The Aviationist spotted the footage which was collected by video producer Loudon Maverick and even if you cover your eyes and just listen to the audio, you’ll still get a pretty clear sense of how crazy things were during the war. Bullets are whizzing by, engines are running, planes are zipping around, explosions are popping off and man, I can’t watch it without getting stressed out. Incredible.
