I used to watch all these films, with my Mother in the 50s/60s, we seem to live in such sad times now.

How the hell they did it I will never figure out. I have been in a Lancaster, not I must add flown in one, which I would love. The skin of the thing isn't exactly tin foil but it isn't going to stop any kind of ordinance. The only way the pilot and flight engineer could get out was to climb over the wing spar which is difficult when on the ground never mind when falling out of the sky on fire. Imagine going through that time after time. Amazing people and I thank them for their service and my freedom ❤

Bravo! Thanks for making this film 🙏

Great film! My Father was a Bomb Aimer and flew Ops. before being wounded by shrapnel in his thigh whilst bombing a target over Muenster.

Jeff Beck Group?

good video.

ESTO ES MUSICA DE CINE. VIVA SIEMPRE.

The French call him Le Maitre.. he wrote the grammar of film. Learned it at UFA Studioa, Berlin

My father in law survived 2 tours in Lancaster's and went on to be a commercial pilot after the war, retiring on 707s. He was always happy to talk about the post war flying, but his WWll memories stayed with him until he went to the grave some years later, after migrating to Aus in 1985. An extraordinary life.

this was very interesting a great watch thanks for sharing this great footage

My uncle flew 3 tours in B 25s. He was the pilot and considered very lucky. I asked him what type of plane he flew. He said a two engine bomber, if I flew a four engine I would not be sitting here! He was only 19 at the time. Remarkable group of people!

Very brave men❤

So many youngsters screamed and cried while their aircrafts tumbled towards earth. • I often think about those last moments. 😢

I grew up in the '50s and '60s and I was fascinated with sci-fi by authors like Ray Bradbury and A.B. Dick. But Arthur C. Clarke combined factual knowledge with the future and wove his stories around ordinary life. How are regular people going to react to things like AI and robotics, for instance? Since the human and probably alien life span is so short, I think our first contact with aliens will be our AI robot meeting their AI robot. But Clarke was a real genius imo. Also, a spiritually enlightened man. I saw a vid of him speaking about, "fractal geometry," the other day. Watch it here on YT if you want to get your mind blown.😅

Kazan was a traitor! He sold his friends to the American anti-communist commission in order to continue filming!!! A bastard!!!

Brilliant!

Really informative and well put. Thank you for posting. I really got a sense of the complexity of these operations, and humbling how many servicemen lost their lives for our freedom.

Bomber Command's loss rate was a staggering 44.4%......the highest of any Allied formation, bar none and every aircrew member a volunteer; no pressed men. Only Nazi U-boat crews had a higher % loss loss rate.

Incredibly brave men. Incredible footage. Thank you.

Beautiful people,Germany had no chance against our finest generation

brilliant.

'Anyone who pursues decency in public must lead a disreputable private life'. Priceless!

Proud to be from where Terry Gilliam was born. That he sees what he sees in art absolutely tickles me.

I loved " Portrait of Jenny " great Era full of classic masterpieces! Today's. Movies I can barely watch once. But the classics I can view over an over again and always in awe.

Dane Edna, as funny and fun as it ever gets..........so missed

The Americans joined the war 3 years after Britain had suffered at the hands of the Nazis

Mt Geography teacher and a boss at work in the early70s andlate 60s both undid and did up their Jackets when taking toanyone. They were both rear Gunners in Wellington Bombers. They are the reason l speak English, not German!

Pleased when I wrote ro him he replied with a signed photograph.

A bit like Whose Line is it Anyway - the uk and us versions. Australia tv networks should bring this type of show back with improvisation

I'm from Tennessee, and I have to say that ya'll sure built a beautiful bomber.

Great fun from the past

Dressed like that, I'm surprised Paul McGann doesn't go down the docks and 'make the old sign'. He'd have his 3000 ducats in no time.

RIP Rock

Gielgud - by a mile better than Olivier (although comparisons are always silly). Olivier had the advantage of good looks, filmmaking and celebrity status. But as far as acting is concerned - and working from within - no one could match Gielgud! My Shakespeare teacher at drama school was in doubt, either!

Greatest actor of them all!

O’Toole specifically said he wore green socks in defiance of his father who would not let them wear green as it was bad luck and he was a bookie. It was a rebellious act. It was in one of the Letterrman interviews.

God, he s how old here!? He's aglow and ageless! Hes the last of an era and a breed. People need to regain their dignity and manners.

Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful docuentary! For me the gretaest Sopranos in all ties! And together with Melchior and conductor Furtwängler: Himmlisch, überirdisch R..I.P Flagsatd

Poor guy, didn’t have a clue

Can’t trust anyone with your money, ever

If Beckett were Russian It also has similarities to Eveleyn Waugh's The Loved One

It is amazing to think that the former ICI house that Whelan the Wrecker gtrrdily looked to pull down is still standing... And soon it will be 70 years old... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orica_House

40 hrs service life don't sound like much for aircraft engines.

god love him

...and when the war was over Britain, with all this magnificent effort, ingenuity and sacrifice just slowed and came to a halt.

What an amazing and very inspiring film. These brave and courageous young men who went up into the night sky and did their assigned jobs without complaining or groaning... I always try to imagine a formation of a hundred or so Avro Lancaster's rumbling along with their alert crews ready for the dreaded night fighters... In the distance the pilot and co pilot can see the target...their anxiety raises slightly but they are ready...all good honest brave young men who are in the Lancaster because they want a better world...free of an evil dictator who is attempting to take over Europe.... Can't help but imagine what these men would have done with their lives had WW2 not happened?? What would these young men have done had they not been killed during a mission? Would they have invented something to help humanity or the world?? Sadly we will never know... These young men and the young men who were killed are forever known as the Greatest Generation To Have Ever Walked The Earth!! 🙏🇬🇧❤💙 God Bless Them All!! They will never ever be forgotten!!

I HATE HIM.　IN MY COUNTRY,JOHN FORD.`S MOVIE INFORMER CALLED ENEMY OF MEN.

It’s amazing the damage they could take really. what a sight it would have been to see for those guys flying these planes. Scary shit

Beautiful history

Fantastically well made documentary - really well edited . What a terrible time - those poor young lads , most flying to their deaths . Look how Britain has turned out .
