    😂 never has something spent so much time on the floor without anyone doing anything with it. It’s really a disgrace. When Sweden obtained the Me P1101 blue prints they managed to create the SAAB J29 pretty quick and used it in service for over 25 years. The Gotha never saw the daylight again

    Replica used for radar testing is at San Diego Air and Space Museum. The 229 wasn't stealthy by today's standards but testing showed that British Chain Home Radar wouldn't have picked it up until the aircraft was right on top of the radar.

    All historian creations should be left alone as is. This way, it they will remain as original history made by original men. Why would anyone restore it as new by destroying the original creation & then paint it over with modern paint? Why not just build & duplicate the version of it without destroying history. I hate it when they do the same thing to the art painting & sculptures. We can exact duplicate anything with modern 3D Printers.

      +@cornpopwasabaddude4729 The Smithsonian is attempting to preserve the 229 "as is", which I do not agree with. They are going to great lengths to preserve the rot and neglect inflicted on the example after decades of outdoor storage in a wooden crate. The original wood has turned to powder. I do think all of the wooden components should be duplicated to return the plane back to the original as-found condition, which was UNPAINTED except for green fireproof coatings.

    I'm curious, how did thing actually fly?

Just wondering

      +@alanbennett8951 The V3 prototype now at the Smithsonian NEVER flew and it was incomplete when found in mid-April 1945. The 229 program had flights with the V1 glider until an accident and then only had about two hours of flying with jet power for the second V2 prototype before a fatal accident. Stability and control problems had not been fully resolved before the end of the war.

    Thankyou - Wow what an amazing career USS LST-325 had - both through and after the war !! Great Documentary ! I've never seen much specifically about LSTs. Don't know that the allies would have done without them. Keep the memories alive... === My Uncle Ted was an experienced diesel mechanic that joined the Navy right away in WWII. In the European invasions he was a diesel mechanic on multiple assaults, including D-day and Sicily, ...in fact he was fished out of the water three times as the LST he was in was destroyed. He went in to the war with very dark hair and came out with mostly grey, ...though still reasonably young. He continued as a mechanic, and had his own NAPA garage, and in his later years taught me so much helping me work on cars when I was a young punk. He could make ANYTHING run. He was a TOUGH guy -- but I sure miss him. It was a very amazing generation that we should never forget. RH

    1:00 .. Correction required. LST... Landing - Ship - Transport. ... Not "Tank." Such ships were used to transport most anything, and were designed, so to put troops, supplies, and equipment, directly onto a Beachhead... ... Including, "Tanks." From, a former 0431: Unit Embarkation. Thusly, the mistake started - and kept being repeated - in an early WWII documentary - and didn't get changed. If I remember correctly, I think it was from, "Why we Fight." I'll be looking for when it started, so to clarify. Many many have repeated this mistake. Noting - way back - that we may have planned an built a ship, for Tanks, but it would have gotten used for transporting all else, too. Semper Iratus Fidelis

    Fantastic restoration of 325 - In the 1970’s in St. Martin we explored the wreck of a small maybe 200 ft. converted LST “DIANE W” - reportedly washed ashore when a tow line broke. Had a tower bridge in the middle of the starboard side - was never able to find out what type it was or any other info.

      Sounds like an LSM from World War II. Landing Ship Medium was a smaller, but similar vessel to the LST. They were modified in many ways as support craft besides their original amphibious role.

      You are probably describing an LSM (Landing Ship Medium), based on the "tower" on the starboard side.

      Thanks - probably pics or drawings of the type out there but haven’t seen them yet.
