Hearted Youtube comments on Ed Nash's Military Matters (@EdNashsMilitaryMatters) channel.

  1. You know if you ever get tired of bringing failed plane designs you could do worse than a video on the Hawker Hart family. A hugely important and successful 1920's design. I'd like to know more about it I am sure there's lots to talk about considering how many nations used at least 1 plane from that family.

  2.  @EdNashsMilitaryMatters  Also the Cu Chi tunnels is an awesome experience, especially trying to crawl through some of the tunnels.

  5. Bloody hell just finished Matt's video and you pop up - will I never get to eat my dinner?

  6. I really thought I knew about old military aircraft before I found your channel.

  7. It´s so deeply sad that everybody abandoned the Burmese people, even the human rights activists. The only thing known about Burma in my country is the fact, that the current prime minister made some millions of dollars with a NGO established for "helping Burmese women", which never was in Burma and did nothing useful. Otherwise nobody even knows that this land is in a state of total war. And the world will continue "not caring".

  8. Ecuador totally won that war in the battlefield but lost it in the negotiations.

  9. Douglas' secret was designing planes they thought the military would need without waiting for a request. Hence Skyraider and F-4 Phantom. They made a few lemons too.

  10. 1:40 This is my first thought for an invincible airforce. There has to be a way to get turreted MiG-15.

  11. 0:23 I snickered, and the presenter immediately shut me down. :P

  12. The Best Video I've Ever Seen About This Aircraft. This Presentation Is Right Up There With Mark Felton. I Hope You Take That As The Compliment It Is Intended To Be. Thank You.

  13. I remember this while on active duty and this is very well known in the Marines..and deeply admired

  14. As much as I love the main content, I love working out where your little funny clips come from too.

  15. Ed's meme deployment is always on point.

  16. FOR THE GLORY OF THE COUSIN LAND! GLORY TO ELBONIA!!! Also congratulations on the sub milestone. 😊

  17. Ed Nash, thank you for this wonderful presentation! I was a crew chief in Vietnam on YO-3A 69-18007. I am one of the historians and the webmaster for our YO-3A platoon. Hopefully, this presentation will light a fire under the Vietnam Helicopters Museum in Concord, California, which owns the NASA YO-3A that needs a periodic inspection to fly again. The YO-3A needs to be demonstrated to the public. Once they don't hear it, they will be confounded. Our group, the Quiet Aircraft Association, attempted to draw DoDs attention to this back in 2004. We are convinced that this "low-cost" technology could have been great in the Iraq War to help locate IEDs that were injuring so many of our soldiers. When the enemy has no radar in the area this airplane operates, he doesn't have a chance.

  18. 0:34 The Arrow bro just call it the Arrow Also fascinating video as always. Yeah you don't hear much about Japan close to the end of the war, but from what little I do know, they were going to really suprise us if we had tried an invasion of the home islands.

  19. Darn you for telling accurate history!

  20. Happy April 1st everyone, nice one Ed!

  21. Out of tragedy came triumph. I'm in the aerospace/defense business and had the pleasure of sitting in the seat of a fighter with a Martin-Baker seat. Thanks Mr. N.

  22. For the past several years, i personally have been working on 2 of these aircraft. The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum acquired 2 Mauler airframes at the turn of the 21st century, and they've been working to combine the 2 into 1 displayable airframe. Images online don't do the sheer size of these justice. this aircraft is absolutely huge. Thanks for the video. it means a lot to me.

  23. Looks like the plans for at least three different aircraft which got mixed up.

  24. The Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force was used primarily in support of Tito’s forces so they didn’t fight against their own countrymen. Ground looping was considered a greater threat than mentioned here as it resulted in crew deaths. Buscaglia who was the top Italian SM 79 torpedo ace was shot down by a Spitfire and declared dead by Italian forces at the time. He actually survived and was hospitalized. The Fascist Italian air arm ARN named a squadron after him, but he showed up in command of Martin Baltimores of the Co-Belligerent Air Force. He sadly died from a ground looping accident in a Baltimore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Emanuele_Buscaglia

  25. A factual comment: Avia was not "inherited" by the Czechoslovakia at the moment of its foundation in 1918. The factory was set up in 1919 by the private capital to take advantage of expected government demand for new military and civilian airplanes. There was no aviation industry on the territory of new republic before 1918. Another aircraft manufacturer (Aero of postwar L-39 fame) was founded at the same time and both companies competed for government and civilian contracts in the 1920s and 1930s. Btw, Avia(as Aero) still exists till this day. It ceased to produce aircraft in 1950s(last aircraft built was licensed Ilyushin Il-14). It produced vans and today it produces engines for trucks.

  26. Thank you for making this video. I have always liked the Gloster F5/34 since I first learned of it, but I think you are right about its limited potential. If Gloster had designed it INSTEAD of the Gladiator, they would have really had something, but the timing simply was not right for that. And the Gladiator was pretty much exactly what the RAF had asked for in the F7/30 fighter competition, which it won: a 250 mph fighter armed with four 303s and possessing a good rate of climb. It is not Gloster's fault that the RAF took FIVE YEARS to select a winner for that competition, guaranteeing that the winner would be obsolescent by the time it entered service.

  27. I like the "funny" and "dramatic" narration. I await the full length movie.

  28. The XP-50 did not succeed but in the looks department it was slick and gorgeous. it reminds me of a 66 Jaguar E-Type, beautiful from stem to stern. Thank you Ed.

  29. Excellent video, thank you. Just a minor correction about the Israeli Super Mysteres - they were not upgraded for Honduras, the Super Mysteres with the American engines were an upgrade for the Israeli airforce and served in the IAF under the nickname “Sa’ar” (stormy weather in hebrew). Unofficially they were called “Bleiberg” after the recipient of the first heart transplant (due to the engine transplant). These planes participated in the Yom-Kipur war and performed well. The Sa’ar was an achievement of the Israel aerospace industry (IAI) and led to the Nesher/Kfir/Lavi projects.

  30. Interesting that it was a Maryland which first reported the deparcher of the Bismarck. When the British Royal Navy lost contact with her later it was a Catalina which found her again. This time the American connection was even closer as the man who spotted the Bismarck, the pilot of the Catalina, was an American. As America was still technically neutral at this time this was not mentioned until much later.

  31. Synchronizing Browning type machineguns to shoot through contrarotating propellers? Hardly worth the try.

  32. Ed this was a fantastic report. It was fast paced and very detailed. It kept my attention focused on it. Excellent work my friend, thank you.

  33. Great video, but you've got some errors here (3:36) regarding the operation of the MkIV AI set. It was ground control radar (not the AI set) that got the aircraft to within 3 miles or so of the target, and from that point the radar operator would try and pick up the target on his AI set and guide the pilot to a visual identification (i.e. to within a few hundred yards). The last part was tricky with early sets, and they didn't work at lower altitudes because of ground returns, however this got better with later marks.

  34. I note some comments about the name. A Woomera is a stick used to throw a spear more forcefully. A shaped stick used to propel other projectiles. It is a word in one Aboriginal language group. Nice name for an attack aircraft. For a bit of extra spice Canberra is also a native word in the tribe local to the area where the Australian capital was built. It is generally believed that Canberra in the local language means meeting point between two hills. There is some debate though that it could also or perhaps only mean the valley between two breasts or indeed just breast. This means our capital in Australia could be called tits. Language is a wonderful thing and Aboriginal language is incredibly rich and varied.

  35. The company that makes them AeroVironment (AVAV on the NASDAQ) is up 7.5 percent this morning. Did you get in on the action before posting this video Ed? I know I would have.

  36. Hey Ed, I can tell you Racer 57 still flying! The Waltons (owners of Wal-Mart) currently own her and she resides down to the airfield in Bentonville Arkansas, I used to work less than a mile from there. Caught it flying several times. I don't know if they raced her last year but im going to the Reno air races this year in September so hopefully I'll get to see her racing there!

  42. Always been quite fond of this one, and can we just appreciate what a beautiful, clear photo at 8:27 is? Those reflections are stunning

  43. The Gripen is the leader for the Canadian Fighter Jet Contract by a country mile. How could we possibly buy the F-35 that costs $44000. per flight hour against the Gripen E that is considerably faster and can out fly the F-35. The Gripen has STOL capabilitiesand $4000. per flight hour cost , hich is a $40000. extra per hour against the F-35 and a $14000. gap against the F-18 which is also slower than the Gripen. No contest, meet the Gripen E Canada's new fighter. Oh ya, the Gripen is also the fastest turning of all the competitors.

  44. Wow! That's remarkable footage of the dogfight. Spot on vid as usual Ed; thank you.

  49. I don't know how you do it, Ed. Consistently quality content, consistently released, and all with a bit of humor now and then. Thanks, sir!

  50. I'm not sure what made my laugh more your narration or the comments section. It's good to see so many people with a great sense of humour in these torrid times.
