Interesting review and analysis. As a curiosity, Picassos "Guernica" was actually a homage to a bullfighter who was killed by the bull. It was then swiftly repurposed.

Wow! I wonder if it's true?

A great friend of mine flew Barracuda's off HMS Indefatigable during WW2. He attacked the Tirpitz twice and went on to the Pacific theatre flying TBM Avengers from Indefatigable. He told me about the Kamakazi hit on Indefatigable and that luckily, he wasn't in the crew ready room when the Kamikaze struck as there were serious and fatal casualties as a result of the Kamakazi strike. He described how they filled the dent in the flight deck where the Kamakazi impacted with quick setting concrete 😮and were flying again within half an hour. If they had wooden decks like the American Carrier's, he said they would have had to return to base to repair the ship. Or worse still, heavy casualties and maybe the loss of the ship. He also told me about a secret mission he had to fly and was catapulted from Indefatigable while she was anchored in port at night. I am sure he told me it had never been done before. That really was an amazing generation.

The French mimicking BOEING engineering standards.

Beautiful plane, terrible name.

That they were just dump overboard hurts my heart.😪

You cant blame the aircraft if pilots fly into thunderstorms or ice.

In the U.S., the Air Cobra was used in spectacular publicity shots firing all its mechine guns & nose cannon, to inspire American citizens.

are you randomly flipping voices here?

isn't the spruce goose the largest float plane?

I heard that Boeing has acquired the plans to the Late 631, plans to slap jet engines on it and restart production. That should be a good thing, right?

Is there any sort of hidden symbolism in your A logo?

Excelent video!!

A beautiful looking aircraft. Mark Crosbie, Isle of Man

This eh kroff as you say looks FAR FAR smaller than the Spruce Goose... made at thee behest of Hughes... am i missing something here? Am i felly off here????

yes! sek you that odah!

Shep Hard r u serious?

can't pronounce Shephard?

excellent video.... hard to find a more comprehensive explanation of the Soviet pilots!! bravo!

Ayyy your videos are awesome and well put together. I wish I had the extra funds to support you every month 😔. For now the best I can do is comment on, like and view your content. 🕺 Hope you have a great day and wish happiness and health for you and those you love 🙏

We should remember, though, that there were real Nazi svaztikas flying in Finland at the end of the Continuation War too. Hitler sent 70 best Luftwaffe fighters and bombers to help the struggling Finnish land army. It was called Detachment Kuhlmey. There is a Wikipedia article about this.

Wait? It was destroyed in August 1945? So many 'facts' seem off in this video.

A magnificent aircraft! That and the Dornier Do-24 are my favorites as far as just sheer beauty are concerned.

my grandpa is storage manager of the plane museum in norway. ive been in the workshop many times and theyve been working on this plane for almost 10 years, they were done in like 2020 i think

This shows how far behind the times was the " Spruce Goose". All well and good that the Defence Department wanted a large wooden plane but it was obsolete by the standards being set in France.

Thanks for this. I wonder if its appealing aesthetics resulted in too much benefit of the doubt.

I Love flying Boats. 😍😍😍

It was like a beautiful woman with a fatal flaw.

Irrelevant interceptor designed to intercept bombers that never operated over Germany. Irrelevant clickbait.

What would have happened had the P-39 gotten the right turbocharged engine right from the start? I think it would have been very successful in USAAF service, particularly with its nearly 400 mph top speed even at altitude. And its ability to absorb a lot of punishment would have made it a potent ground attack plane, too.

And other obvious AI generated voice. It's a shame because the actual footage and pictures used are decent.

Uh ... because Germany couldn't bomb our factories.

Cotton High Joe as a narrator for aviation history just don’t cut it does it now🙈

Heute Abend, am Tag der Deutschen Einheit, den 3. Oktober 2024, wurde mir ihr Kanal vorgeschlagen mit diesem tollen Beitrag, nachdem ich gestern einen Beitrag über die Fiat G.50 Freccia angeschaut hatte. Dem Google Algorithmus sei Dank! Ein wirklich toller und gut gemachter Beitrag, vielen Dank dafür! Habe noch nie von diesem Flugzeug gehört, sehr interessant! Beim Anblick dieser Flugboote bekomme ich immer Fernweh! Habe ihren Kanal natürlich gleich abonniert! Viele Grüße und alles Gute und weiterhin viel Spaß beim Entdecken von Interessanten Flugzeugen!

Très belle et intéressante vidéo.J aurais aimé avoir l occasion de visiter un exemplaire conservé, mais malheureusement la France est un pays qui n a pas la culture de la préservation des patrimoines de l ingénierie.

What a thrilling story! It would make a marvellous movie.

Not true about the "downward kink..." that was primarily for aerodynamic efficiency. The Hellcat swung the same diameter prop, 13' 1". It did however allow for a shorter MLG strut, allowing rearward retraction.

To have got as far as it did with this beauty, the French builder unwittingly created a de facto R&D platform for the rest of the industry to learn from. No doubt its rivals looked upon the protracted demise of their competitor’s prototypes with a grim sense of schadenfreude. Of course all of these flying boats were doomed within a few years of the events described here by the arrival of land-based airliners that were so much more powerful, efficient, and convenient for passengers to board. In the winner-takes-all battlefield of emerging technology, outside observers like those of us who lack the killer instinct are saddened by the unfairness of market forces that devastate the risk-takers and reward the opportunists who steal their ingenuity and then build what they know will work, and go on to enjoy the profits. Aviation in particular is an industry subject to merciless Darwinian extinction of those coming in second, where but for an insight here and an economy there, it is only after the fact the winners are differentiated from the losers.

Thank you! Really enjoyed this episode. Sorry about the copyright issue, Bon Chance!

So which side did they sell most of them too?

Hello - Welcome to the world's largest, most beautiful, most luxurious, transcontinental airliner, death trap.

Thanks!

the NEED for youtube to stop or at least allow us to block the scam ads has gone from money making for them to taking part in ripping everyone off

Ball-bearing runs were also done by "civilan" BOAC mosquitos.

Was the spruce goose much bigger?

The L 23 looks almost exactly like the Japanese fighter using the Daimler Benz engine. It makes me wonder if Swedish aviation was watching what Japan was coming up with BEFORE Japan entered the war. This is only conjecture. Those headphones look quality. Do a deep dive on the Cessna 335. Push pull craft used a lot in Nam. Please.

I was hoping they parked those beauties in the deserts of Australia but nope. What a terrible waste. Great video!

YOU CAN'T KILL SOMETHING THAT. WAS. NEVER THERE. B29 S. WE'RE. NEVER. USED. OVER. EUROPE. ONLY. IN. THE. PACIFIC. AGAINST. JAPAN.

There aren't any babushkas (grandmothers) alive anymore in Ruzzia who would tell the relatives that attacking Finland is a very bad choice indeed. I'm thankful beyond words what my grandfathers did to defend our country. Kiitos (thank you) Niilo & Ake <3
