  1. Actually it is sad there was no CIA or OSS for this guy to work for. He was a one man Mission Impossible Force.
    206
  2. It's a shame that after 100 years of Naval Aviation; Eugene Ely has no Carrier in his honor.
    165
  3. Never question the bravery and fight of the Coasties. Underrated, underequipped, underappreciated. They have served us in War & Peace.
    159
  4. This was a pretty interesting episode. And while not a Colt collector; it was refreshing to see firearms presented other than the typical media portrayal of just an instrument of crime . They can be interesting bits of engineering as well as history. And the history of Colt, is truly American history.
    156
  5. Now that is a hell of a hidden story. Good job.
    144
  6. Talk about obscure planes and stories? You find the boxes of history in the basement. This story, is a perfect example. Well done. 😎
    115
  7. Paul Mantz is worthy of a whole episode. Legendary stunt pilot in Hollywood for decades. Tragically died filming, "The Flight of the Phoenix."
    115
  8. Don't feel bad about avoiding Baltimore Mr. Lincoln. Thousands take the beltway daily to go around the city.
    110
  9. Canadians in Space......set phasers to Molsen light..
    86
  10. And thus the Italian fashion industry begins.......
    54
  11. So.....did Pinkerton talk to the ladies through a box on a desk ala Charlie's Angels? 🤔
    36
  12. Notice men still fail to stop and ask directions? 🤔
    36
  13. Puts Mr. Ed to shame.......👍
    34
  14. T.R. is still to this day; the only one to have been awarded the Medal of Honor and Nobel Peace Prize.
    33
  15. Denmark managed to Fall by lunch time.
    32
  16. You make a very good point. Food preservation is critical to the development of humanity. And air conditioning has made inhospitable lands occupiable. Las Vegas would never exist without air conditioning.
    29
  17. I think this is a case where the phrase," those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." Seems to apply.🙄
    28
  18. Can we expect more History on US Territories ? I think Wake and Midway have been covered.
    28
  19. I drop a nuke on America? Yeah, a flood of dictionary words start flying fast.
    27
  20. Fire and building codes are like airline regs. They are made based on blood and crashes. It was not till the MGM hotel fire in Las Vegas that codes got a big update.
    26
  21. Eugene Ely is long overdue a CVN named for him. Not Stennis or Vinson.
    25
  22. Is there any relationship to the rise in violence to the Spainsh Flu outbreak in the same period? Or are they just two non linked events of the period?
    24
  23. Since we are on this topic..... Can we get a video on the Senator Heinz mid air over Lower Merion Elementary?
    22
  24. Thankfully, ABC passed on the pilot for "Death Boat." "Love Boat" turned out to be more popular...😏
    22
  25. Yep, in the Navy it was Gitmo or Diego Garcia. 🙄
    20
  26.  @terrygrossmann2295  I will second that. My Grandfather died to give freedom to South Korea. While in his own nations capital, his wife & kids lived in Jim Crow segregation.
    20
  27.  @writerconsidered  Not so in 1924.
    16
  28. Can you say, "Charlie's Angels" the Civil war years?
    15
  29.  @tncorgi92  Spiellberg's first try at comedy. It's a riot really. A true cult classic.
    15
  30. Dad spent 30 years at GE Space. Working on unmanned and manned craft. Stuff like Voyager 1and 2 are still flying in deep Space.
    14
  31.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  More money suing about Talcum powder. 😏
    14
  32. It should be remembered while these individuals were dishonoring the name of Puerto Rico. The men of the 65th Infantry Regiment were proudly serving in Korea. The heroic actions of Puerto Rican National Guardsmen in Korea; were a attempt to prove the Loyalty of Puerto Rico to Truman and the USA. And to erase the shame of this incident.👨🏽‍💻
    14
  33.  @Spencer481  they would have been better off suing the Boy Scouts or the talcum powder people. 😏
    13
  34. As a aside, I remember watching the film "Destination Gobi." About USN meteorologists working in Mongolia. Any chance we could hear about that operation?
    13
  35. In what century?
    13
  36.  eclemensen  Wrong movie. Try, Humphrey Bogart in "Action in The North Atlantic."
    12
  37. What's the Mike Tyson quote? "Everybody's got A plan, until they get punched in the face.... "🤕
    12
  38. I had chance to visit a pre 688 boat when I was in the USN. Sub life Is cramped, sunless, and air recycled. Like living on a airliner without windows or women. So no Dolphins for me....
    12
  39.  @1joshjosh1  Actually 2 more would be nice. The ones we have here staying at sea longer and need longer repair time. Plus we had one down with Covid for a month. result? https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2020/07/08/Aircraft-carrier-USS-Truman-docks-for-maintenance-after-seven-months-at-sea/1051594222806/

  40. I love ladies in glasses. 🤓
    12
  41. "The War to end all Wars." And with all that tragedy , suffering and bloodshed. The World goes and does it again twenty years later.
    11
  42. I must say, he was a character....
    11
  43. Well some Boats were made by Higgins. The other major class of PT, the 80ft Elco boats were built in Bayonne, NJ by Electric Boat.
    11
  44. Dad spent decades on Unmanned and manned Space flight. The good old days....
    11
  45. Sadly, Lord Mountbatten would not be so lucky. It still is amazing that in 2018, the UK persists in the backwards policy of "special" units having arms only.
    11
  46. I can honestly say, this is the first I've ever heard of this agency. It seems however odd that they just didn't fit the duties of these folks into the Coast Guard? It seems more like a better fit? It's not even under the Army Corps of Engineers?
    10
  47. No one is stopping you from making content.
    10
  48. Submarine duty is for volunteers only for a reason. Personally, I like sunlight and lifeboats. 😒
    10
  49.  @dbmail545  Yeah.😷 And yes I dislike male uniforms for females. I liked women looking like women .
    10
  50.  @dirus3142  True.... But I am talking about a non gun focused Channel reaching a different audience.
    10
  51. In America, that is how we roll.
    9
  52. ​ @trusarmor4957 I believe you mean the Congressional gold medal?
    9
  53.  @gorkivalenzuela6940  don't remind me. I'm on the wrong side of 50 now.
    9
  54. 😏 Mao must be the originator of," Trust the science!"
    9
  55. History guy has never been to New Jersey..... Mao could get elected Governor. 😏
    9
  56.  @grzegorzswist  Calvary horses and draft animals are very different things....
    9
  57. Of course the same state is doing their best to run all those out of business.
    9
  58.  @martymethuselah  Marty, you're wacky enough to be a DNC candidate for president. Nuff said.
    8
  59.  @MrCellophane60613  Actually, his partner Frank Tallman worked on that 1975 film. Paul died in 1965.
    8
  60. How about the other major historical crash at Lambert Field? In 1966, NASA lost it's first Astronauts Elliot See and Charles Basset in a T-38 that crashed there. Months before the more noteworthy Apolo 1 fire.
    8
  61. Denmark managed to Fall by lunch time.
    8
  62. Sadly, many have not learned the lessons of these men.That this is the wrong way to settle differences. Unfortunately, the tools of choice tend to be a lot more lethal than the dueling pistols of old. It is tragic that friendships had to end in bloodshed. 😢 I doubt many daily Commuters have any clue about the guy the Commodore Barry Bridge is named for?🤷🏽‍♂️
    8
  63. If this was not rhe History Guy; I would call this a pitch meeting for some BBC show? 😳 A key out of a carrot? 🥕🙄 The guy sounds like 19th century MacGyver/ Jim Rockford.
    8
  64. So you didn't get the gold coins, rubles and nylon stockings?
    8
  65. I wouldn't exactly say that was the issue. On the contrary, they would have been fine if North Vietnam had obeyed the peace that they had signed in 1973.
    8
  66.  @shawnr771  To clarify things.... there were at least 5 mini subs. The Ward sank one. Another was beached. At least one did reach inside the harbor and fire weapons.
    8
  67.  @MrProsat  horses aren't moving through that either.
    8
  68. agreed. Camo is dumb.
    8
  69. Bingo. Yes, they we're the two.
    8
  70. Even the British Royal family did a bit of German erasing by changing the Family name to Winsor in 1917.
    8
  71. I believe you.... As a Ex Cold Warrior, I kinda hoped we could turn the clock back to 1945. Islamic terror is the common foe.
    8
  72. Living here in Philadelphia I think the average person rarely thinks about the Mint. It's just some big gray building that people just drive by.
    8
  73. It got me thinking, " Why did this film not be a bigger hit?" It came out Dec. 14, 1979. Same week as Steve Martin's, "The Jerk." But the big film that month was the First Star Trek movie. And for the serious crowd, "Kramer vs. Kramer" came out the week after. Still "1941" was the 25th biggest film of the year.
    7
  74.  @martymethuselah  troll
    7
  75. Idol Hanz Now now. "Young & the Restless" is not a bad show really. Beats the 15 judge shows on every channel.
    7
  76. Well I must say, this is actually an eye-opener for me. Never heard of Sherman till now.
    7
  77. MOB rule never ends well. The idea of a Police Gatling Gun is just nuts...🙄
    7
  78. 🤣🤣😚🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lol....... Tell me your making this up. Oh, my...... 😆
    7
  79. ​ @mdtransmissionspecialties then why did you post a reply?
    7
  80. In it's defense, the USAF has had a rather safe record with the KC-10 still in service.
    7
  81. So the U. S. Is Out of the Chemical and Bio weapons making? Well, that's nice to hear. 😷🇺🇸
    7
  82.  @grapeshot  My name sake and Grandfather was in the same unit. KIA 8/31/1950 defending Pusan. Plus the years in WW2 fighing Germans.
    7
  83. cory collier Yeah, we repaid that debt in interest and blood.
    7
  84.  @captainconundrum8463  My thinking is that some may have laid blame for the flu on returning veterans and immigrants entering the USA. And that this fanned the flames of 1919.
    7
  85. It would be nice to see the MacArthur bashing crew look at the rest of the service.
    7
  86. I do not believe the Secret Service was in place at the time?
    7
  87. How about earning the Medal of honor and a Nobel Peace prize?
    7
  88.  @badguy1481  😏 Yeppers. Folks tend to gloss over that. We forced them to the peace table. Then the North decided to break the Peace.
    7
  89. Please take off topic nonsense elsewhere.
    7
  90. It's an interesting redemption story. I wish more prison stories turned out that way.
    7
  91. Is a darn shame that Eugene Ely has never even been honored by a ship with the Navy.
    7
  92. Sadly, many today seek to solve disputes in the street. With the same tragic consequences.
    7
  93. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Spruce Goose flight. Have you done a episode on it yet? 🤔
    6
  94.  @FuncleChuck  It's right up there with getting rid of telephone operators and the milkman. He should be as well known as Henry Ford or Edison.
    6
  95.  @martymethuselah  Hate America that much? Feel free to find the Shang Ri La of your dreams elsewhere.
    6
  96. I would disagree with that characterization. It is not that they don't want to issue pistols. It is a lack effectiveness. And the submachine gun was not looked at as a better option.
    6
  97.  @blameyourself4489  The X-37B is kinda out there. The Virgin Galactic Space Ship One is Cutting edge. The next generation of tilt rotor planes will improve the path made in Vstol craft.
    6
  98. Did you say Google? 🤔 Is this some sort of new venture? What is Google's interest in lighter than air?
    6
  99. The Fall of the British Empire really set off a mess. The whole region was turned into a vacuum of power into which the United States stepped into. Afghanistan being the prime example today
    6
  100. Oh? What About Teddy Roosevelt's sons?
    6
  101. Hopefully, America will get back to peacemaking.
    6
  102.  @njpaddler  there is some truth to that one. The additional antenna would have helped. But all indications are Fred's navigation was dead on. Weather conditions did not let them see the island or the ship. The radio operator reported strong signals.
    6
  103. Jim Fortune The USN's Zumwalt class is deserving of the name.
    6
  104. 🙇🏽‍♂️ normally I could form some sort of comment. But, I don't know what to make of this story? I doubt there's random Russian submarines shooting down cargo planes in 1951? Aircraft having just random explosions? There have been some. 62 crashes is kind of a lot for transport aircraft. The lack of any sort of Mayday or SOS does lead to the conclusion something catastrophic occurred.
    6
  105. I have to ask, did Isaac Johnson make any money off of this patent?🙋🏽‍♂️ Military bikes are still a thing. Lightweight, folding, and with Electric power, Troops can cover greater ground and carry gear on the bike. Japanese and Vietnamese forces learned the lessons of this experiment.
    6
  106.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  kind of sad. All modern bike design is based on that configuration. Thank you Mr Johnson.
    6
  107. Gerald Ford became vice president of the United States under Richard Nixon. He replaced the previous vice president Spiro Agnew. Agnew had to resign from office. When Nixon resigned, Ford became president. Thus he held both offices without ever having been elected.
    6
  108. "Gray Patriots?" Yeah, okay....
    5
  109. It was a dumb rule. Let the best play.
    5
  110. It is the little things that turn into something major. NASA Thought a piece of foam was no big deal too....
    5
  111.  @MrCellophane60613  Sad, fun fact. The crash that killed Paul Matnz, was meant for Frank Tallman.Frank hurt his leg. Later enough to be amputated. So his partner took his place....
    5
  112. Most would say it is paved in blood.
    5
  113.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  Good reply.... In my experience, only those with a agenda bring up the Liberty. Both sides have long since moved on and consider things settled.
    5
  114. I have to give the Germans credit for pulling off a brilliant piece of strategic bombing.
    5
  115. Good question. 🤔
    5
  116. To be honest, production of the Garand was slow. Neither the Marine Corps or USN were equipped with them pre-war.
    5
  117.  Evan Moyer  That is like saying "Animal House" was mildly humorous. Sadly, it never got the praise of his other films. It may explain why Spielberg made no more comedy films.
    5
  118. A very interesting resume. Thank you for sharing this one.

  119. They held Dunkirk till VE day.

  120. Sounds like a real jerk. 😒
    5
  121.  @pickeljarsforhillary102  That was then. He regreted that and when the Surrender of Japan was held, Mac Arthur had Wainwright at his side to take the surrender of his captors. Next time, tell the whole story.....
    5
  122. That is sad....
    5
  123. Your comment is ridiculous on many levels.
    5
  124. Jim Fortune Well the DDG 1000 class is turning into a pricey bleep up. And we have one more to build. Named ironically for the guy who's Destroyers started a war. LBJ.
    5
  125. jsl151850b The term your should use is "search" mode. As for the Andrea Doria? Half right.... They had the wrong range settings on. Thus misjudging the distance between ships. Another event worthy of a video 5 mins!
    5
  126. Ford had a unlucky term.
    5
  127. Well..... there's kind of No Lack of 1911 videos on YouTube.

  128. Speaking of submarines..... Former President Jimmy Carter turns 97 today. 🎂

  142.  @HM2SGT  there's not much Wilderness in 1884 Ohio...

  143. Your comment is off. All nations have a 200 mile zone of Economic control. International water is at 12 miles.
    4
  144. Wait a sec.... First, a well documented topic.There were 3 squadrons and formed the 23rd Fighter Group when they joined the AAF in 1942. Impact? They were the major alliled airpower in the CBI for years. Kept enemy airpower off the Burma Ledo Road and protected cargo over the Himalayas.
    4
  145.  @wallacethomas9844  you are correct. I looked up a list of his credits. He is credited with that stunt.

    4
  154. You really have surprised me today. I don't think I'd ever associate these two items. It's a bit like saying peanut butter and pickles.

  155. McLean deserves to be as known as Henry Ford, Edison, Etc.....
    4
  156. @OneHairyGuy Reagan did serve.
    4
  157.  @hhale  I don't disagree. However you have to look at it in context of the period. That was supposed to be the war that end all wars. The next 20 years were spent on folks pushing neutrality and reduce defense spending. Not to mention the Great Depression.
    4
  158. 🤔 Outside the box thinking, yet.... yeah.
    4
  159.  @John-ru5ud  So just leave a U. S. Territory and thousands of Americans and Filipinos just to die? That was never going to fly. As for Korea, general Almond and general Walker are the ones who should be facing criticism. They were the ones in charge of X Corps and 8th Army.

  166.  @allenatkins2263  Roosevelt actually ended a war.
    4
  167. I read he strapped a dead guy to his car like it was a deer. 🦌😳
    4
  168. You're kind of mixing names. The merchant Marine are the commercial shipping people. The Coast Guard previously the revenue cutter service took care of collecting the import duties and such on arriving ships. That's the connection.

  169. Honestly, I would have thought the loss rate for this class would have been higher. Well done series.
    4
  170.  @dr.barrycohn5461  the definitions of right and left have no hard boundary. And both engaged in many of the same activities for their own cause. National Socialism maybe to the right of Communism. But they share the same authoritarian ways.

  175. 🤔 Is former Senator Robert Byrd of West VA. a family member ?
    4
  176. @Zeke Spears I'm not sure why you find my comment odd? And in general the opinion of most people guns are nothing but instruments of crime and violence. And most media of all types following that General view. Few channels go into the aspects of collecting.
    4
  177. Honestly, this is bizarre. Riots over Shakespeare?
    4
  178. Most folks in Cape May likely have never heard this story. While Jersey has some notable wrecks, I think few remember this one. 115 men seem a lot for that ship.

  179. "History to be Remembered." But, do we?🙋🏽‍♂️ As time grows, the interest of the public fades. We can't even keep a 9/11 museum open after only 20 years......😢

  183. That's a little bit of an oversimplification.
    4
  184. Sadly , unmanned space flight always seems to be forgotten history. Always in the shadow of the Manned program. They never make movies about them or get invited to the White House.
    4
  185. 🤴"it's good to be the king."
    4
  186. 🙋🏽‍♂️ Millard Fillmore. One of the more forgettable presidents. Yet apparently pulled off one of the most substantial bits of foreign policy since the Mexican War? What brought this on exactly? As I recall, up to this point the United States has not played a role in Asia.

  187.  @ScreechingPossum  Well said.

  193. Passenger rail is not economical or makes sense today. People no longer need to reach a Central City location. And once you get there, are you going to walk?
    3
  194.  @nbt3663  The event was terrible. The weekly requests are just folks on a Anti Israel agenda kick. It's getting old.

  195.  @aprox23  What do you want? It happened. It was investigated. Apologies and debts paid and made. World moved on. The end..... Beyond that is political bs.

  207. I think this whole story just kind of reflects the whole delicate dance at Eisenhower was playing as Supreme Allied Commander. Having to balance the ego of his own Commanders and the political ideas of his allies. As hard as it was keeping Patton and Montgomery on the same page. The Free French proved to be a whole other headache.

  212.  @cyclebrat7176  Sorry, but Comcast for example is run buy some the biggest Democrats in PA. Including pals of a former DNC chair. Disney? No Republican is hirring Colin Kaepernick or backing ABC shows like the "View."

  224. That is X files conspiracy theory garbage. Intel of the time only had info on diplomatic communications. Not military. Nor did we know where or when a attack was to come. All info and strategy pointed to a attack in SE Asia and the Philippines. Which did occur.... Hawaii was considered too far way and defended for a attack. Instead, the defense focus was on sabotage. Not air raids. The carriers Lexington and Enterprise were delivering Marine Corps aircraft to Midway And Wake Islands to boost their defenses. Enterprise docked just hours after the attack on the 7th back in Hawaii. So there was no curious absence....

  225. Yes. Bong had 40 kills. Maj. Thomas McGuire had 38.

  237.  @HM2SGT  Minor dissagrement in the ability to project sea power. The Iowa class was rebuilt a reactivated for that ability. They're fast, long endurance, armored platforms. They were a direct counter to Soviet Cruiser units like the Kirov class. The capability of the BB is still needed today.
    3
  238. PickelJars ForHillary Sorry, but the USN was too dumb to do that. No, they have a 155mm that cannot use Army ammo. And costs too much to buy special ammo for.

  239. Not to get political, but your dead wrong about Obama. His race was not the issue and without White votes never wpuld have been elected at all. His policies and that of his part are what were rejected. America had enough of those policies and weak economics. And thus rejected Mrs. Clinton pushing more of the same.

  256. 🤯🍹This is a really diverse and wide ranging topic. Covers the World and all types of Spirits. Just the origin of the word is a puzzle. While not a huge drinker, I never have liked beer. And wine occasionally. That makes me a confirm mixed drinker. It takes away the harshness of a straight spirit and makes it more pleasant. The medical origins makes sense too. As a druggist would have access to various herbs and potions. As well as the need for people to be able to have a beverage when water was often polluted. I suppose the name mixologist is a appropriate one? They are a part chemist, part sorcerer, and part apron wearing psychologist.

  275. Yes in Vietnam the Coast Guard was part of what was called operation market time. This was an operation to stop offshore smuggling traffic by the by the VC using junks and other vessels. This was combined with the riverine operation known as operation game warden. That's where the Navy pbrs went up and down the rivers and canals doing the same mission.
    3
  276. Hmmm..... We could not hold on to North Korea. Thinking we could take China was delusional then and now.
    3
  277. Speaking of Pearl Harbor and subs... Most forget there was a combined midget sub attack on the harbor that day. It's one of those subs the destroyer Ward sinks prior to the air raid. At least one sub is thought to have hit the USS West Virginia with torpedos.

    3
  285. Hmm, ok I have to say that's largely a step too far. The President really has not done anything like that. And in fact decried such acts.
    3
  286. It's a very good but very complex question. As notable and historic as many of these ships are. The desire for preservation was not as high in the mid 50s some 10 years after the war. Also ship museums are very expensive items to maintain. And particularly not well visited ones. They're not exactly Disney theme parks. Almost all of the major museums have funding issues as well as maintenance issues. Also a battleship is a pretty sizable piece of real estate to park any place.

  311. john ellington Well the main threat was still seen as being in the Atlantic. The USS Ruben James had been sunk by a U boat just weeks before this.

  328. Just tell the folks of Beirut, Lebanon.

  368. You remind me of the strange irony of being a history fan and a Philadelphia resident. At age 49, I never been in Independence Hall.😪 Like most in Philadelphia, it's for tourists. I've visited the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross and Ben Franklin's homes. Yet, Independence Hall, I just drive by. On the hand, I've actually been in the Philadelphia Art Museum.

    2
  416. RocKiteman _ 2001 Which ruined the Electra in the airline world. But redesigned as the P-3 Orion ASW plane it had a huge career.
    2
  417. God forbid, one of these modern cruise ships have an accident....
    2
  418. Yeah, this was just problem 1. The plane had a bad rep for accidents. Yet they still fly for FedEx and as Tankers for the USAF.
    2
  419. We have gone pretty far actually. The unmanned program has probes that have already left the solar system. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are still flying 40 years later.
    2
  420. That is true number wise.
    2
  421. 🙆🏽‍♂️Whoah....... you are correct, this was quite a significant day in history. Almost all of these are worthy of a episode on their own. And the whole episode of Hawaii and US Empire expansion is a greatly overlooked bit of History. Most people remember the Spanish-American War and events in Cuba. But everything that comes after and are current list of territories have largely been forgotten. Few people know why there is an American Samoa or why we have Puerto Rico? And why there was the last stand at Wake Island.... and it all goes back to January 17th. As a aside.... if Captain Cook only reached the Antarctic Circle, who gets credit for discovering Antarctica?🤔☃️🐧

  422. He is not exactly Forgotten History. It's a topic well covered.

    2
  434. Your half right..... Except they were paratroopers. The 555 parachute battalion, was a all black airborne unit. They we're used as smokejumpers to put out fires started by the balloons.

    2
  443. Simple reason? American history does not generally delve deeply into the personalities of the revolution. I mean all they ever talked about is George Washington. Maybe Benedict Arnold? Maybe about Lafayette? How often do people talk about the rest of the Continental Army?
    2
  444. They have pluses. Long range and duration. Better speed than ships.
    2
  445. Plane crashes and schools? Brings up the mid air death death Of PA Senator John Heinz over Lower Merion, PA. His plane and a heliocopter had a mid air that fell on a school yard as well. His widow would later marry former Senator and Sec. Of State, John Kerry.

  449. Could be worse... I've never understood what a "Phillie" or "Flyer" had to do with anything?
    2
  450. Well at the start, the Air Force was a branch of the Army pre 1947. This then turned into MATS (Military Airlift & Transport Service). From 1966 to 1992 they became MAC (Military Airlift Command). Since then they are renamed Air Mobility Command.

  453. Keep in mind US and Euro specs and standards were different.
    2
  454.  @Jay_Speed  General Motors for some reason generally kept their European and Australian operations sort of separate. As I think about it, only till a few years near the end did they tap into their Holden brand in Australia....
    2
  455.  @Jay_Speed  I think one of the biggest mistakes GM may have made, was not importing Holden UTE's. The US market would have been perfect for a sport truck like that. Speaking of Opel? Didn't Cadillac have a Opel based model? The Catera from 96 to 2001 was based on the Opel Omega?
    2
  456. Why? History is rarely on the minds of people making decisions. Ships are costly to maintain. World War II had produced an oversupply of warships. Nevada, was already obsolete when War began. She served a useful purpose as a nuc target.
    2
  457. War has rules. Spot Justice is not part of those rules.

  486. When war broke, the US was in the process of reinforcing all these places. The 4th Marines for example were withdrawn from Shanghai to the Philippines just weeks before. Boats and planes meant for the Philippines, where at Hawaii in mid transit on December 7th. So to say nothing was being done in Incorrect. They just ran out of time.

  494. Manpower is a issue of cost and training. We have a harder time actually getting nuclear power trained sailors. As for those missile? They are a fire once tool. Guns can stay on station for weeks. And with the 1980 update, they have tomahawk and harpoon missile launchers.
    1
  495.  @johnstark4723  Most so called training is not that that different from land based Artillery. And manuals and training aides are still arround. The rest is just muscle to load them and the 5 inch 38. And the Harpoon is due for replacement anyway. So any overhaul would include a new system... And while the USN lacks steam techs. The Merchant Marine has plenty who do know how they work.

  499.  @RCAvhstape  I live in Philadelphia. AMTRAK has never made a profit ever... over 50 years. The railroads are better at cargo than passenger travel. The Corridor is not much faster or cheaper than taking a bus up I-95. The USA is not as compact as Japan or France and their high speed rail network.

  500.  @gus473  Only Joe Biden has that fantasy....
    1
  501.  @thetrainhopper8992  We gave 50 years of experience it does not happen. The railroads are better at freight than passenger travel. You can hop a Chinatown bus and be in NYC cheaper and not much slower. Ideas of dumping money into A San Francisco to L.A. line are money losers.
    1
  502.  @Wolfshead009  Airplanes don't get stuck in snow for hours. Passenger rail is like wishing for Atlantic Liners to come back.

    1
  504.  @MrSloika  Does not balance the rest....
    1
  505.  @MrSloika  on the contrary, passenger rail was in place prior to Amtrak. That Northeast quarter was taken up by the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads. They gave up on passenger rail 50 years ago. Interstate 95 has kind of made rail less competitive on that same route. While cheaper than flying, you can take New Jersey Transit for probably less money. Same thing with the bus travel. Hi speed service is never going to be popular like it is in Japan or Europe. I think Amtrak only survives due to many in NYC not being able to afford or have a spot to park a car. Other than Joe Biden And railroad fans, this is just a money black hole.

The technology was not there till the start of the war. The planes lacked range, speed and payloads to change surface naval tactics. And carriers were yet to be proven. As for radar? Again what seems obvious? In the context of the time, not really.

  632.  @donaldgrant9067  By the time the really great L models were entered service, the Mustang was being phased in for the Escort role. In its defense, it served from day one till the end of the war in every region. The P-51 reputation is from 1944 on and escort Missions have more opportunities for scoring kills.

    1
  684.  @timf2279  They didn't have javelins in the winter of 1945. And the performance of the Bazookas versus tiger tanks was mixed at best. A problem which would crop up again just 5 years later against t-34s in Korea. I still don't get where that somehow turns into revisionism? Lightly equipped airborne troops are not able to stop armor.
    1
  685.  @timf2279  I consider the access to air support, 3rd Armies armor push, and lack of fuel to continue the push East a more crucial factor than the fight of the Airborne to ending the Bulge. They were able to delay and impede progress. But they weren't turning back anything.

  692.  @HM2SGT  Oh, those ships like Nevada? Of course...... The Iowas were a exception to that rule. Most of their life span was in Mothballs. So the machinery Actually had little mileage on them. The Regan era refits bought all four to standard tech of the time and added a cruise missile punch. R&D on the guns never stopped and long range GPS guided rounds can extend the range of the main and secondary guns 50 miles plus. And unlike a sub or DDG, they have no fear of return fire. Even today the USN lacks a true Naval gunfire support system. The DDG 1000 program has been a total fail in that regard.

  693.  @tajw13  Actually it was pro Clinton Democrat here in PA that bought up the birth certificate issue.

  791. Michael Tavary Mix and match of facts. Both were test pilots. Both were at Edwards in October, 1947. But on different projects. Welch was making the first flight of the Sabre at the time. 13 days later, Yeager working on the X-1, broke the barrier.
    1
  792. TigerShark Accurate in the general vibe of the time. The test pilot life, the birth of the space program, the family issues. Is Hollywood mixed in to make the story? Sure. Nobody walks with cool theme music....
    1
  793. TigerShark Fair criticism. Some dramatic license makes for a better story. It was true the civilian pilots were paid better for the same risks the Military test guys did.

  839.  @jnstonbely5215  Well, I was harsh in my response because so many of those points were off. The 67 P-40's? Never had close to that many. Or even combat ready. Nor did Halsey deliver any. Halsey actually was taking USMC F4F's to Wake Island. And in the film "In Harms Way?" Broderick is not MacArthur. But actually Adm. Gormley. He was in command of the Guadalcanal Operations and screwing up. Halsey, the John Wayne character was then sent to replace him. MacArthur was not perfect. But lets keep the stone throws in the strike zone.

Loading and stoking is very intensive in manpower. (4) with oil, you can refuel at sea underway. No need to dock. All modern navies use support ships to refuel, rearm and fill stores underway. Coaling had to be done in Port.

  1013. ​ @TheHistoryGuyChannel Complex is a understatement. It's become very popular to bash Kimmel and MacArthur for events that week. The Intel always pointed to action in China and Western Pacific. The United States as well as the other colonial Powers were working overtime to reinforce or move forces with a eye for action in early 1942. I would say the biggest priority was not Pearl. But instead the evacuation of Shanghai. And the need to reinforce our defenses at Wake Island ,the Philippines, and Midway. The priority was getting the 4th Marines out of China. To get aircraft to Wake and Midway. And there were plenty of ships and supplies on your way to the Philippines. The rest of the PT boats for the 3rd squadron we're still on ships at Pearl. The additional b-17s flying in from California were needed in the Philippines. Hawaii was not seen as the main focus of threat. The commanders at Hong Kong, Java, Singapore had the same intelligence information. And their forces fared no better. But no one ever dumps on them. 😤
