  2. If that is a real secret project .. there would be people with guns all around …and that photographer would be in jail…so I think it may be a red herring … the first time the US Navy landed a harrier onboard the Kennedy … the entire crew was told “ if you photograph this plane … you will be shot … “ a friend of mine was on the bridge when that announcement went out …

  7. Those airship hangers are really incredible… I was stationed at NAS Lakehurst and they had converted one into a scale Carrier flight Deck, for training flight deck personal.. was the Corsair’s duralumin armor the same material pioneered by the German Zeppelin program ..?

  10. Thank you and Well Done to our Author …. There are so many facets of this Aircrafts history that really are untold ….especially its use by the RAF and Commonwealth Forces…

  11. The B -29’s engines were notorious for catching on fire and those Magnesium rich Crankcases were impossible to put out … Didn’t the RAF modify some Lancaster’s to deliver the A bomb .. the B29 was still iffy even late in the war … a friends dad was stationed in Tinian and he sad the engine fires were a nightmare …

  12. We are getting someone else to whip the Rooskies behinds for us ….. a war we have been avoiding since 1945 …. A war ….which thankfully is not in our countries …and can be won ..al this and rather affordably for us indeed … so it’s the Ukrainians who are really paying the bill …

  13.  @retr0_fps  you know how we colonials are mate … the English language is fair game …

  14.  @robmclaughjr  You have to be a Brit to understand .. the mustang’s squared off wing tips isn’t Nerly as pretty as those sexy elliptical spitfire wings ..the mustang may gave been a better fighter but the Spit is a prettier Aircraft..

  15. I would be scared to pull that wing folding lever….Im not sure if you do Tank Engines but the V2 Diesel in the T-34 and the KV … was the best of WW2 but the designer was shot in Stalin’s Purges

  16.  @allangibson2408  tanks are much more intimidating on parade … stuck in the mud on fire 🔥 comically inept …

  17. I’m sure the US is putting the F-35 on special to give our allies a Gen 5 fighter …

  18. Thanks Ed I never have heard of these models .. until now .. But Why Messerschmidt never put on a bubble canopy on any of their 109’s …. When The FW 190 had one all along along with allied fighters … the bird cage style of the 109 seems to be hard to bail out of .. or get out of if the plane is upside down …

  19. I’m not sure if a non area rule aircraft will go supersonic .. ?

  22.  @pierredecine1936  It’s really a symbol of how Putin is destroying Russia it’s history , it’s legacy , and it’s future

  23. I wonder how many Eindecker Pilots were killed by their planes vicious Stall characteristics.. too bad there aren’t any Fleas left in museums… Many thanks for this episode of the aerodynamically bizarre

  24.  @sixpackpilot  those Frogfoot attack aircraft are pretty versatile…

  25. The Russian Morale Gauge must be pretty much on E … the troops from the north are irradiated, frost bitten defeated , disillusioned and probably have dysentery … so they probably aren’t very motivated I’m wondering if the Russian army is having any disease outbreaks like during the Crimean War

  26. It’s in a better place …!

  27. Soviet Era Command and Control bringing you unnecessary tragedies like this and Flight 007 and Malaysian flight 17 … Thanks to the Author for bringing the lessons of History to us …!

  28. I was reading about the Italian Armored vehicle during WW2 called the Saharaina .. it looked very capable and supposedly it was the bane of the SAS … I was wondering if it would be episode worthy sometime in the future..? Thank very much..

  29. I would like to thank the author for his service .. against a foe whose barbarity knows no ends … in a fight that had to be won for the sake of humanity..!

  30. I’m betting it was the fly by wire trying to fly an ananhedral wing or something melting at Mach 3

  31.  @sixpackpilot  they work great on dirt or bombed runways … the old Soviet doctrine…

  32. The Martin Baker MB-7 ejection seat saved one of our officers lives following a Ramp Strike onboard a carrier … sadly our pilot was never found … the plane had rolled due to the landing gear being torn off … no fault of the seat .. but it was one of those rare cases when even a zero/zero seat was unable to prevail …

  33. The Tank is alive and well .. maybe the auto loader will make a comeback

  34. Afghanistan’s population has almost doubled in the last 20 years …. Many of those are children … our Media and politicians are unable to articulate a reason fir staying ..and the US public just wants to watch Sports … very few of our politicians have military experience a recipe for the disaster we are witnessing…. The British experience “the Grim “ in the area is worth studying …!

  35. So what ever happened to the swing wing trend …? .. I do appreciate the Dr Strangelove clips …. Only The genius of Kubrick could make us laugh about nuclear war …!

  40. Well … Twitter is dead and Elon replaced it with a Symbol that’s more than halfway to a Swastika …so like many of the Nazi Industrialists , he is making these statements out of self interest/ promotion…

  41. One cutting edge design feature at a time please …. It’s Aerodynamic mania …. and unproven engines …. It’s not going to end well

  42. One of the Russians Army’s biggest WW2 secret weapons was Lend lease Equipment…3000 A-20 bombers just for example…stuff that doesn’t make the propaganda reels

  47.  @luisgimenez8660  Now I gotta rewatch the episode about the 190 D-9 version on Greg’sAircraft & Automobiles …I’m surprised our government didn’t grab Kurt Tank and give him a job After the war
