I saw this Fokker at Virginia Military Air Museum in the hanger with the Mossie, Spitfire, P 51, Corsair, Fokker Trimotor and several others. The ME 262 was kept in Suffolk, Va....It could not land at the grass strip. I met the pilot who was German and retired from Lufthansa...I met an American Ace who flew the Mustang and the Lightning...and his German counterpart who was available to talk with. He was signing his book. Great day of history, flying and living legends! There were three girls from Louisiana who sang songs from the WWII era...
@@worldofwarbirds ah yes, like the ancient joke: school class visits a museum where an old war veteran gives tours. "now kids, 'twas tough fightin' them fokkers". Teacher hurriedly interjects "A Fokker is a maker of aircraft". Veteran: "that's right, miss, but them fokkers was Messerschmitts!"
Outstanding Video, for me I've always felt Tank used Hugh's H1 Racer for design inspiration. And what would be wrong with that it was the fastest aircraft in the world at the time, the BMW 801 motor was basically a licensed-built American Pratt & Whitney radial contracted from when before the war had started in the 1930s.
+ chalottte quillen The BMW 801 is a couple of engine generations removed from the single-row P&W Hornet engines made under license in the 1930s. The 801 combined the knowledge from the BMW 132 design and the engines from Bramo into a new design.
@@FiveCentsPlease good point. Although wartime Germany usually pioneered and were almost always on the forefront of most scientific innovations, they weren't above utilizing someone else's design even improving it further. Their adoption of the American Bazooka to its Panzerfaust improvisation is proof of such tactics. Even Waffen SS prized their purchased explicitly for them American .45 ACPs
I've been trying to understand what you said at 3:34 3 times now and failed. Tsien-feld? Ziehen-feld? Ziehen-pferd? Did you mean "Zugpferd", as in draught horse? That said, loved this video. the 190 was always one my faves. Having not read about it in years, it didn't even occur to me the Kommandogerät was a predecessor of what we now call FADEC.
@@worldofwarbirds oh! as in a "workhorse" (some sites totally erroneously translate the word as "charger", which I have no idea how they came up with that). Here's some simple tips for German pronunciation: German "ie" = English "ee; German "ei" = English "eye"; German "v" is often English "f" (exceptions abound but it generally works); German "w" is closer to English "v" (but sometimes closer to Japanese "w"); German "ch" is "Scottish "ch" (as in loch). Those notorious Umlauts? (ä, ö, ü) I'm not even going to try to explain - I think only natives speakers using high German get that one right - even in dialects they totally vary from "standard" 🤣 Keep up the good work! There will be a test for the next German aircraft video! 😆
Great to hear! I am enjoying being able to show what I'm talking about, although I still think I prefer the audio format. Let me know what you think of this one.
It been a while since I’ve apologized for pronunciation (I’ve been making audio only podcasts for years) and I should do so again due to my chronic murdering of German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and (according to some Brits) English!! If you give me some specific words to work on, I will definitely try my best. Thanks for the thumbs up! BPearce29@gmail.com
As a German I have heard worse. It’s always a lot of fun, hearing others trying to sing your language through their noses. What’s more important: well researched video, the important facts are there.
Interesting review--but please don't use "Butcher Bird". Which was never used in real time. I was 8 years old in 1944 and we had balsa-wood kits for making fighter planes. I remember a Zero and a Spitfire. Then there were articles in newspapers and magazines. Over the years following I have acquired many books on WW2 aircraft.
It's amazing he was born before powered flight was even achieved, and ended up designing such a beast of a aircraft
Great video!
Great vid! You have a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard!
Amazing video, I love it!
Hello Bri. It's your 36th subscriber here. I can't wait for part 2. Keep up the good work.
Hi James #36! I'll get it done as soon as I can! Real Job / Family keep getting in the way! LOL
@@worldofwarbirds quit all that crap and stick to what really matters. Making quality entertainment for me lol
I'm loving it bub

It is no Fokker, but a Focke-Wulf Einstein!
Maybe he meant to write "I saw this F#cker!" LOL!

"Dienstpferd" - I may have several talents, but languages and pronunciations aren't my forte!

My son is building a model of a 190 out of all the kits at hurricane hobby he chose this one
Have him send me a pic when completed!
And I watch your podcast on Spotify

@@worldofwarbirds both are excellent in their own way
Really nice Video.... the German gives gives me some stomach cramps
Listen to some soothing Japanese in the Zero episode…Just wait for the Russian in the Yak Fighters episode!! 🤣
There is an emergency override for the Kommandogerät.
That’s good to know!
👍
OMG, its He who shall not be named!
😂!
I hate your pronunciation of my German language, it insults the dialect and my ears. It's still a good video though.👍👍
