I don’t want to understate the massive amount of work the other talented members of the TimeGhost crew are doing to make this series possible but I think we can all agree Indy’s wit, way with words and charisma is what cements this channel as the most interesting history one on YouTube Comment from : @BasedPeter |

Tailgunners were recruited from among short guys YouTube has a short called "The Rear Gunner, " which actively recruited shorter men Burgess Meredith, a short guy, was the actor who finds a home at the back of the plane My uncle, Norman, mentioned earlier, was maybe 5 '6" Comment from : @ArizonaJoeHines |
|
|
My uncle, Norman Hines, was a tail gunner in USAAF 8th Airforce He was shot down in May 1944 and imprisoned He spoke very highly about the various red cross parcels, and could list the contents of each in great detail At the end of the war, he was marched west He said that during the march, the column was overflown continuously by American planes, until one day, the guards were gone and American jeeps arrived Comment from : @ArizonaJoeHines |

"Shoot 'em in the back! Uh, oh oh Comment from : @billd2635 |
 |
As an indication on how the rear turrets on the Il-2 was needed, from the Greg Airplanes and Auto channel, there were on-the field modifications to place the rear gunner position Unfortunately, the gunner was outside the steel armor hence the need for the redesign Comment from : @shaider1982 |
 |
10:35 Out of the foxhole and down a rabbit hole!😂brbrGreat questions and answers Comment from : @LeftCoastStephen |
 |
Wasn't the port of Vladivostok used also as a supply route to the Soviets? Comment from : @eldarrissman4172 |
 |
The B-52 kept its tail gun until after the Gulf War It also got two MiG kills in Vietnam I believe the Tu-95 still has its tail gun Comment from : @larry648 |
 |
I’ve read that death rate for lL2 rear gunners were way higher than pilots Comment from : @andrewdenzov3303 |
 |
GENERAL SWARTCHOF (IRAQ FIRST WAR 1991)HAD HIS FATHER WORK AS CHIF OF POLICE SECURITY OF THE IRANIAN RAILROAD REGIONS IN WW2 ! Comment from : @georgefragakis6761 |
 |
The IL-2 originally didn’t have tail guns, they were added after the initial planes proved vulnerable to fighters The position was basically unarmored compared to the heavy armor the pilot had to protect him, making it a very dangerous position to man I once heard that the tail gunners were penal troops being assigned to those positions for punishment but I think that’s just yet another myth about the war Comment from : @PitFriend1 |
 |
Thanks for the side-story of arcade machines! Comment from : @PeterDercsar |
 |
The allies also added escape tools to some of the items in the parcels Comment from : @george217 |
 |
The Red Cross shipments probably most of time reached their designated recicpeint An American airmen namely Earl M Kestler stated that US POWs were the first patient in Hunagry, who were given penicillin According to him one of the POW had a connection in the Red Cross and he advised the Hungarian Red Cross staff who they should contact with in the American Red Cross At the end of the summer of 1944 the wounded POWs received the medicines Comment from : @ati847 |
 |
The TU-95MS still has a tail gun Comment from : @rbailey1240 |
 |
I would absolutely love to see Time Ghost do a series on the history of arcade games in real time While there is a ton of gaming content on YouTube, some of which is extremely well made and scholarly, I think Indy would do an amazing job and there isn't nearly as much content about the early arcade era (1970's through the 80s) than when home consoles become prevalent Comment from : @zacharythomasfreeman |
 |
An interesting side note to the care packages question, is that there was a program to smuggle in various aids to the POWs An example being maps hidden in board games Comment from : @kleinjahr |
 |
Is being a Patreon the same as Joining? Never Mind Comment from : @Titus-as-the-Roman |
 |
Indy being an arcade game history expert is just perfect Comment from : @WWFanatic0 |
 |
wow, great rear gunner rap, and Fantastic video clips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comment from : @casparcoaster1936 |
 |
A German pilot claimed that the tail gunner on a B-17 saved his life by carving a groove out of the top of his skull with a 50 cal round The wound was enough to keep him from flying in the latter days of WW2 Comment from : @tyo8663 |

Back in the 1980s, I attended an information briefing with an Israeli fighter pilot as the speaker Similar to the waving the tail guns at enemy causing them to shear off, he told the attendees that during one middle east war, if your jet was on the tail of an enemy jet, you just had to paint the enemy jet with your targeting RADAR and some of the enemy pilots would eject without you having fired any ordinance - typically an air-to-air missle at the time 😮brbrThe Israeli pilot was on a multi-national training program with the USAF at the time We were stationed in Alaska, but I never thought to ask if he was adjusting to the much colder sub-arctic temperatures Comment from : @ssgtmole8610 |

According to eyewitness accounts from both the Germans and Soviets, Kittel was last seen attacking an il-2 when two other il-2's simultaneously attacked Kittel from below and to the rear His plane was damaged and quickly fell to the ground Not by a tail gunner but a pilot named Vadim Komendat Comment from : @naciremasti |

Tailgunner by iron maiden Ah good times 🎉🎉 Comment from : @user-rc6ed9rm8m |

How does Indy know about arcade games in the '80s if he's filming this in 1943? Comment from : @nowthenzen |
 |
It's kinda comical to think but it does make sense that the one nation who could whip up a railroad out of nothing was the Yanks Comment from : @connarcomstock161 |

Re: Tail-Gunners Back-seat drivers "You are too close", "In-Coming", "Are we there yet?", "Why you flying so fast"? "Watch out for that other plane", "I need to pee" Comment from : @jimmyyu2184 |

I too got blisters from playing with Tempest Sigh, I sure do miss that girlbr🙂 Comment from : @Paladin1873 |
 |
Indy You should do a show about FOOD! because lets face it that is what drives an army You guys should go over rations from each Power and see if you can come across some type of repo and see what you and the crew think of said ration to put yourself in the trenches with the men to see what fueled the Advances (or retreats) Comment from : @andrewduff4719 |

Great episode Timeghost Btw i really liked Asteroids in the arcade circa '84 Comment from : @abrahamoyevaar2226 |

Ngl this is so engaging while stoned Comment from : @JS-iu3ce |
 |
That was pretty damned good for not even having your butt actually in the CHAIR OF INFINITE KNOWLEDGE! brbrAnd a word of recognition to my 6th grade teacher , Paul Kowatch of Thompson, Ohio, who was a tail gunner in a B-17 That is how I first learned of the tail gunner position, and learned more about WW2 and the Holocaust RIP Mr Kowatch Comment from : @jamesbinns8528 |
 |
My grandpa’s B17 was shot down around this time in 1944 The last few months of the war he spent being marched around in circles in Germany because so many of the camps had been overrun by the soviets Many prisoners died on the marches My grandpa said if it wasn’t for the Red Cross deliveries many more, including himself, would have died of starvation Comment from : @JFox337 |
 |
For the most part, the speed of jet aircraft rendered turret gunners obsolete It's the same reason why you see anti-aircraft guns disappear from ships, as well Yes, close-in weapons systems, such as the Phalanx, still exist, but they are a measure of last resort and are usually automated They are not a primary means of defense Comment from : @peteranderson037 |
 |
Indy, you've been away from Houston too long if you consider 32 Celsius hot Comment from : @jerrywood4508 |

Another fine episode Comment from : @theblackbear211 |

Wait a minute, I was just thinking of this, whatever happened to Justinian's Desk 🙂? Comment from : @lexington476 |
 |
My grandfather was shot down over Verona Italy and spent 13 months as a POW (waist gunner on B-17) He reluctantly talked to me about how the Germans moved his POW group further and further into Germany as the Allies advanced He mentioned that care packages from home or the Red Cross were a rare occasion and rarely included food He would unravel knitted sweaters in care packages to knit mittens and toboggan hats for fellow prisoners (and the occasional cigarette or item of food) Comment from : @jonathanenglish9146 |
 |
Here's something about the Il-2 The rear gunner was often, a condemned prisoner They were told, survive ten missions and you will be pardoned The fine print clause to this deal, is it must be ten missions in the same aircraft brSince the Communist Authorities aren't known for their forgiving nature If a Prisoner survived nine missions in one plane, he was assigned to another planebrAnd had to start over!

Will you guys do the Afghanistan war soon that will be fun to watch ❤️🙏 Comment from : @Vontavius901 |

A tangent of arcade games but no angel and snake? Comment from : @johnnelson1228 |
 |
Many years ago I attended an air show that hosted a gathering of WWII Aces and famous flyers, I was fortunate enough to not only meet and shake hands many of my childhood heroes, for once I was smart enough to get autographs, which include Saburu Sakai, but also Gregory Pappy Boyington and Franz Zeigler and many more who all signed my program I treasure it still Comment from : @jimhollenbeck4488 |
 |
That tangent about Tail Gunner was really interesting and unexpected Comment from : @illiteratedino |
 |
Ive often heard that B17 gunners from all over the plane would "pepper" a few rounds towards an enemy plane closing in to alert that pilot "dont try shooting here, im watching you, bub" Comment from : @AtamiskxIx |
 |
Great stuff like always Indy! Never really researched Iran during the war so I had no idea about that famine! Horrific Comment from : @alexamerling79 |

"Tail End Charlies" by John Nichol and Tony Rennell covers the experience of WW2 bomber tail gunners although it is a more general description of the bomber war in Europe, 1944-45 Comment from : @stevekaczynski3793 |
