  3. At that time focusing on jet technology would have been a ridiculous gamble. The technology (mainly sintering and machining refractory metals) simply didn’t exist to produce a reliable axial flow turbine as Whittle discovered in the early thirties and as Germany discovered a decade later. Whittle began focusing on the less efficient but also less demanding centrifugal engine in 1933 but even this wasn’t deemed reliable enough for operational use until 1939
by which time we were in a war and needed to produce aircraft proven to work. Frustratingly the technology did exist for producing machinable refractory metals both in Britain and Germany in the factories of magnet manufacturers - no one in the aviation industries realised it at the time.

  4. I fired an anti tank gun at a boat but didn’t want to cause any casualties. Brain dead or a total lying scumbag?

  5. I recall seeing one of these, well the fuselage, at the old Fleet AirArm museum in Cornwall.

  7. In return for allowing German troops to be stationed there and handing over control of its nickel mines to the Germans Finland received a great deal of military equipment from the Nazis - including fighters and bombers as well as aircraft engines and components. Strange country - even now many Fins are in denial that they were allies of the Nazis despite the fact they joined in with Operation Barbarossa and even though they were classified as Nazi allies at the post war Paris Peace Treaty.

  9. It was (supposedly) over a timed course requiring flights in both directions within a certain period. By this time other countries were focusing on building aircraft to counter Germany’s armament program and obvious territorial ambitions and were preferring to keep their aircraft’s abilities secret. Obviously this was part of the usual German propaganda of their invincible force at the time so can safely be classified as “dubious” - IMO along with the vast majority of German claims of the period.

  10. You could do the “fleet shadower.” A WW2 prototype aircraft that flew at 39mph.

  11. India would probably still buy it. If enough palms are greased.

  12. So unfortunate it never had the opportunity to show just how terrible it was.

  13. First flew on the first of January 1916 and crashed later that year. Now that’s what I call loitering.

  15. I’m not sure the Germans were that advanced with their rocket technology- most of which was conceived and developed by Robert Goddard years earlier. It was more a case that the allied nations knew it was a total waste of space on aircraft. As history has shown.

  18.  @Nightdare  I don’t even know why you’re whining. My comment clearly referred to the claim in this video that the Germans developed rocket technology when they palpably didn’t. You seem to have gone off on some weird tangent of no interest to me. I suspect you’re just another wehraboo but I honestly don’t care.

  19. Predictable “this would have won the war” comments from all the usual crowd that follows a video on every German failure.

  20. For good reason
their relationship with the Nazis seems to have caused a national amnesia.

  21.  @menninkainen8830  With the communists? Finland jointly invaded the Soviet Union with Germany. They were part of Hitler’s Barbarossa. They were the Nazi’s first allies. They also allowed free movement of Nazi troops through their country to attack Russian territory. They also handed over Jews to the nazis to be murdered. Yet this seems to have been airbrushed from history and from the Finnish history books.

  22.  @menninkainen8830  No, Finland allied with the Nazis and helped them kill Jews.

  23. Did Britain need a Stuka?
