Glad I found your channel. Nicely done. I agree with your other commentators. Please keep it up. It might seem thankless now but you'll get there. RUclips algorithm brought you to me so that's encouraging. 👌

Appreciate the kind words!

He doesn't sound as brash and confident as I expected. I thought it was an older humble man talking in the recording.

[@Historically]

It’s incredible how proper and mature he sounded. He was just 23 when this was recorded.

Why is it that Google calls doodlebugs buzz-bombs?
I'm British and I call doodlebugs well Doodlebugs.

RAF slang for the V1 was Doodlebug, but they had a variety of names
