  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.

  2. It's a shame that after 100 years of Naval Aviation; Eugene Ely has no Carrier in his honor.

  3. Never question the bravery and fight of the Coasties. Underrated, underequipped, underappreciated. They have served us in War & Peace.

  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.

  5. Now that is a hell of a hidden story. Good job.

  6. Talk about obscure planes and stories? You find the boxes of history in the basement. This story, is a perfect example. Well done. 😎

  7. Paul Mantz is worthy of a whole episode. Legendary stunt pilot in Hollywood for decades. Tragically died filming, "The Flight of the Phoenix."

  8. Don't feel bad about avoiding Baltimore Mr. Lincoln. Thousands take the beltway daily to go around the city.

  9. Canadians in Space......set phasers to Molsen light..
    86
  10. And thus the Italian fashion industry begins.......

  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? 🤔

  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. 🙄

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.👨🏽‍💻

  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. 🤓

  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.

  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?

  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. 😒

  49.  @dbmail545  Yeah.😷 And yes I dislike male uniforms for females. I liked women looking like women .

  50.  @dirus3142  True.... But I am talking about a non gun focused Channel reaching a different audience.
