@jebise1126 indeed the chunky p-47 with turbo supercharger was almost unbeatable once they put a paddle prop on it …. The Fw190 was better of a war horse than the 109 and the Dora version was the one of the best at high altitude … part of their success was the variable speed supercharger …. And of course the Genius of Kurt Tank and that Diemler Engine…

@allangibson2408 they also had the Studebaker 2.5 ton and we sent them 3000 A-20’s and they got their fuel from US They don’t show all the allied tanks they had in the propaganda movies

@EdNashsMilitaryMatters thanks 😊 that’s what I figured … Really points to the loss of Reginald Mitchell … it’s tough when you loose one of the greats
1
That could have been the Terror of the Battle of Britain ….and the fuselage looks like the predecessor to the ME 262 …I guess Kurt Tank didn’t have the connections that Wiley Messerschmidt had … it seems like Tank’s planes were far superior …

Barnes Wallace .. now that’s a man who’s name is synonymous with genius on so many levels …. Thanks to the author for this one …possibly the best episode yet …!

I curious as to the author’s opinion on the Supermarine type 317 Bomber … would it have been a great aircraft … if the prototype hadn’t been destroyed by bombing in 1940 … Thanks

Now That’s a plane that looks fast even on the flight line …Yet again a great story … which has led me to wonder ….why they didn’t put a bubble canopy on the 109 ….and is it true the fuselage on the 109 cost 1/3 of the spitfire’s

This unveiling/striptease of the Raider just needed some burlesque music and more risqué apparel…
1
This makes me think of the work of Fairbairn & Sykes who used steel armor in Hong Kong and their famous knife and fighting style … not exactly saving lives though ..!
1
Seems like the V-1 would have been the ideal Kamikaze Aircraft … a la Hanna Reich ..
1
Soviet Style Tactics and Soviet Era Repression and Gulaging will result in a 90’s Soviet Meltdown … probably around the time Putin has to name a successor …
1
A Grumman Naval Fighter that I haven’t heard of ..? Well I’m in ..Thanks Ed ..!
1
The Navy wanted a fighter Attack aircraft.. and a better plane for deck landings .. and the landing gear on the F-4 could really take a beating ..
1
Dial O for Operational…ability.. or it ain’t pretty … but it works great 👍

@EdNashsMilitaryMatters I was in the Marines Aviation F-4 phantoms … we went for a med cruise 81 during the gulf of Sidrah incident …we ended up going to the sea of Murmansk 100 miles from Russia… NATO operation Joint Friendship … we got to tell the Admiral Kherov Missile Cruiser to … well you know … Cheers
1
10,600 lbs of armament… and the pilot had his 45 …..just in case ..and the Skyraider was a plane so good it might be worth bringing back ….! “ Little Dieter Needs to Fly “ is about a sky raider pilot a movie that’s worth a watch
1
Guadalcanal … there were some hard lessons learned indeed … the Treaty era cruiser demolition derby … Iron bottom sound night engagements … US Aircraft Carriers Learning how to fight and defend … all over one Airfield … so one can see why they wanted a Super Duper Corsair…it’s a Good Luck Charm …

@warpartyattheoutpost4987 Fox News Wants You … to Love Big Brother ….
1
It actually looks better with floats …. Go Figure …
1
@warpartyattheoutpost4987 I’m more into the big verb or adverb and if things get real bad .. I unpack my adjectives… and I’m always headed for conjunction junction sooner or later
1
@carlwessels2671 There has never been time than now … for irrational thinking and sentences in various stages of completion …
1
I could have been first but it took me a minute to think of something good to ask Oh Yeah speaking of Northrop what is your opinion of the Delta Wing Version of the F-5 …? Thanks
1
Great Story … ! However like all things historical this does pose another question.. of how does the Sten Gun shoot …?
1
@iatsd well well …. you are a just a nasty sub human .. Oops I mean a troll…
1
If you build a plane with unbelievable performance and specs they will have to have it … but a modest airframe that can be introduced now … no one will believe you can make it.. I’m kind a surprised the Canberra even got produced
1
The Spitfire was the Beauty that Killed the Beastly ugly menacing ME109 and FW190 … it still is one of the most beautiful things ever made … and the music of the Merlin … My family survived the Blitz and we consider it a protective angel …
1
@andysweetland8645 yeah well … I just finished reading Some Beatnick poetry so… I blame modern literature
1
Now that’s a aircraft that can really tell some stories and truly deserves preservation..!
1
Russia’s terrain was meant for a helicopter
1
Not Mitchell’s most elegant design ….but was it a reclining sofa ..?
1
The Fashion Wears out More Airframes than the War …

@EdNashsMilitaryMatters thanks … although the Long Range Desert Patrol didn’t invent the technical vehicle … they really came up with some great modifications… Maybe WW1 and the anti-aircraft/ anti-tank trucks and armored trucks were ..

40 years ago this week our Task Force centered around the carrier USS Forestall maneuvered 100 miles off Murmansk … Playing Chicken with the Soviet Navy … we flew the F/4 j Phantom as our interceptor… does that count as a forgotten Aircraft …?
1
@EdNashsMilitaryMatters thanks so much …. the Douglas Sky Ray is one I can’t find anything on .. it still has the single engine climb record ..
1
Bravo 👏 …. These story’s of the lessor known aircraft of unrealized potential … give me a case of the what if’s…. Like what if the p-40 had a turbo supercharger and how good was the Merlin in that plane …. And Supermarines 4 engine bomber prototype that was destroyed in an air raid .. and never made again … and of course all things Barnes Wallace & Percy Hobart…. Sorry I’ve gone on …yet again
1
All she ever wanted was a two stage two speed supercharger.. I wonder what combination of factors made this plane such a good plane for Russia
1
Your so right…. They are quite beautiful Aircraft ..
