  1. Hopefully, America will get back to peacemaking.

  2.  @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.

  3. Jim Fortune The USN's Zumwalt class is deserving of the name.

  4. 🙇🏽‍♂️ 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.

  5. 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.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  kind of sad. All modern bike design is based on that configuration. Thank you Mr Johnson.

  7. 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.

  11.  @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....

  13.  @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.

  14. I have to give the Germans credit for pulling off a brilliant piece of strategic bombing.

  15. Good question. 🤔

  16. To be honest, production of the Garand was slow. Neither the Marine Corps or USN were equipped with them pre-war.

  17.  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.

  18. A very interesting resume. Thank you for sharing this one.

  21.  @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.....

  22. That is sad....

  23. Your comment is ridiculous on many levels.

  24. 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.

  25. 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!

  26. Ford had a unlucky term.

  44. 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.
