Finally! A regular Joe Blow history buff like me putting some cool stuff on RUclips! Thanks a lot and see you later! Actually I think it was crazy for Lindbergh to hang in the plane with his wife that entire time... LOL. Now that's something that deserves a parade!
Alexander Patrick - I’m married. Had to make that quick clarification before my wife saw it and made me less married. 😅 Thanks for the kind words. There are some big plans for future episodes.
The Wrights and their work at Kitty Hawk was amazing. I went to the Interpretive center in Kitty Hawk and it was just incredible to stand where the flight started ...
I have literally been there hundreds of times. It is one of the most fascinating places that I know. When I would get out of class during college my friend and I would either Head West to the mountains and hang glide or we would go east to DC and go to the air and space museum. Any free time I had in my latter teens before I joined the military, was spent at the Smithsonian and all of its wonderful museums but especially the air in space Museum. Every American should visit The Smithsonian.
Bruce Worley - Thanks! I really do appreciate that. If you know of anyone else who might enjoy or benefit from the channel, feel free to pass it along 🙂
Michael Collins (Command Module Pilot of Apollo 11) was the Director of the Air & Space museum from 1971-1978. He presided over its construction and 1976 opening. He also attained the rank of Major General in the Air Force Reserves, and was Undersecretary of State for Public Affairs. I'm happy to say that as of today (11/18/19) he is still with us and very fit at age 90.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Thank you for your videos, which are really great. You're bringing many of us to places we might not otherwise be able to visit!
The 'object' that you said was 'broke' at the end is one of the first Virgin Galatic Space vehicles. it is carried aloft and then jettisoned. The rocket motors are fired taking it into space. The back half of the wings come up (as you saw it) and the craft is brought out of space. It then reverts to a plane and flies back to earth. It is designed to take fee-paying passengers into space.
Yes and no. That is SpaceShipOne, “the first crewed private spaceflight in 2004. That same year, it won the US$10 million Ansari X Prize and was immediately retired from active service. Its mother ship was named "White Knight". Both craft were developed and flown by Mojave Aerospace Ventures, which was a joint venture between Paul Allen and Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's aviation company. Allen provided the funding of approximately US$25 million.” (Wikipedia) Branson purchased the company and turned it into Virgin Galactic. The VG spaceships are bigger versions of this aircraft to allow for passengers.
Pretty cool about the pieces taken to the moon. I’ve also been mind-blown at the technological leaps that happened starting in the late 19th century. Crazy to think a select few were alive during the Civil War and all the way to the moon landings… and all the drastic changes they witnessed.
I just discoveredd this channel and find it to be awesome. Just wondering if you have ever gone to Greenfield Village in Deerborn Michigan. That is a fascinating place. There is a village that has actual historical buildings and a museum that is has just about everything you could imagine.
Have you ever been to the Wright brothers memorial? I live not far from it, you should check it out sometime! There's a lot of history to explore on the obx
Absolutely love your channel. I also appreciate your live of God and country. Wanted to let you know that Lindbergh was definitely a Nazi sympathizer. He also had another wife and children in Germany. The Smithsonian, however, doesn't share that part of history which is okay I guess. He was a flying hero and deserves a lot of recognition for his accomplishments. Keep up the good work 👌
Thanks. I really do appreciate the kind words. And yes, Lindbergh did have some opinions that were uncomfortable at best. Thanks for pointing that out.
And now there is a piece of the Wright brother’s plane on the drone on mars so it was a part of the first powered flight on earth and the first powered flight on another planet!
I highly recommend a visit to the National Park Service : Wright Brothers "Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park" in Dayton, Ohio. It will take a full day to visit the various venues. And don't miss Dayton's "National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and Space Museum!" If you need a guide, I am your man.
1st person killed in flight he is buried in Arlington it's funny to think that When the father went up he want to go up higher and higher it's kind of funny that they ran up bicycle shop and what did they use to fly a bicycle chain
@@TheHistoryUnderground He was actually killed in 1908 during their army flight that orville was flying. Another Interesting about orville was he flew lockhead constellation owned by howard Hugh's.
I love your shows but this is definitely not the original Wright flyer. Only thing left of that is a piece of shattered spar. Still, I got to visit the same museum and was in heaven all day. I'm not banging on your program, I love every episode, just a small fact I knew. Keep them coming.
Interesting. I tracked down this article from the Smithsonian. It seems to strongly imply that it’s the real deal. airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/real-wright-flyer

Completely agree.
Just found this channel and it’s my all time favorite. Thank you for posting this history!

JD the excitement in your voice takes me back to my childhood experiencing these first hand.

Ron - Holy smokes! I did not know that. Thanks for the extra info. Always learning something.

Continuing to catch up. Your outros are awesome!

Go to Dayton, Ohio to visit the Carillon Park and hometown of the Wright brothers. Beautifully done park.
Love you channel and your videos. Would love more 😍
Thanks! I have at least one new video per week. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already 🙂
Love your Channel. Keep up the Great work.
Thanks! That means a lot. Glad that you're enjoying it.
I like your channel! It's very interesting!
Jerry Foreman - Thanks! Appreciate that. Should have new content up at least once a week.
Amazing how just a little over 100 years later we can see the very first American airplane. Thanks.
Thanks for the amazing history. Do you know the fields and beaches where the Wright Brothers worked the bugs out before Kittyhawk
I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for watching!
A good person to research is
Amy Johnson
She's a local legend from my side of the pond and an aviation legend
I would love to see a video on her
Have you ever been to the Wright brothers memorial? I live not far from it, you should check it out sometime! There's a lot of history to explore on the obx
Not yet. Thanks!
You should come the the Air Force museum in Dayton Oh, more planes than you would ever want to see.

just discovered your channel, will be a regular
John West - Awesome! Thanks so much. That means a lot. If you know someone that’s into history, send them our way 😁
The Dayton Air Force Museum is really good too.
Check out outterbanks of NC. It is beautiful and tons of history like Kitty Hawk
I'd love to see that. Thanks!
The original wright flyer was actually destroyed due to a wind gust not long after their original flights.

I always thought the Spirit of St.Louis they have was a replica not the actual one.. Awesome channel, great content. 😁👌
Nope, that's the real deal. Lindbergh presented it to the Smithsonian in 1928. Thanks for the kind words. Got some big plans for the future.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Good to know,, I was there back in 2014,, it's such a wonderful place, I need to go back..😁👌
Manuel Ramos - Yeah, I liked it way more than I thought I would.
Great video
Lee Johnson - Thanks! Appreciate that. Got another one coming this Sunday to correspond with Veteran’s Day.

@@TheHistoryUnderground : I really enjoy your videos, Sir! Keep up the great work.
Also there flight had thr first fatality. Also it was the first time there father flew. Interesting how a bike chain was used
southern boy - Didn’t know that extra info. I’ll have to look that up. Thanks!

southern boy - Crud! That’s another grave that I missed at Arlington.
They carried a harpoon?
I wouldn’t want to go across the English Channel in that plane let alone the Atlantic Ocean
Swastikas were found in Asia, as far as none these are the oldest with 3000+ years.

Love the channel, but we never went to the moon. It was a huge hoax. I'm not a flat earthers but do some research
I live in Kitty hawk and I think I'm allowed to them
