- In the late 1920s, Boeing designed the Model 100, which was developed into the P-12 for the US Army Air Corps, and the F4B for the US Navy. It became a major fighter aircraft for both services, as well as the US Marine Corps, and other armed forces around the world.

The visual overlays to highlight details are great. +1
Must unexpected, but most welcome! I find these interwar planes very interesting. Thank you for making and sharing!
Wonderful video of Boeing Model 100, one of the best looking and well proportioned biplane fighters of the late 1920's. BTW, I believe the second opening (22:30) is the belt link ejection chute.
Excellent video. Great walkaround with thorough coverage of all features. Thank you for taking the time to cover this aircraft - it is certainly a work of art. I was surprised to see how much of it was metal. Boeing knew what they were doing.
Excellent presentation of this airplane. Hopefully I will find similar coverage of the Curtiss Hawk F-11C.
Great video -- thanks. It's a shame that more of this era's aviation history isn't with us anymore (and that you had to go all the way to Thailand to find this plane!) Some interesting design features, for sure. For example, fabric covered wings but metal skinned ailerons, rudder, and horiz stabs, which was opposite of common practice in later designs. Maybe a video on that Goshawk next?
The Goshawk would be most welcome :)
Thank you for your feedback. I will consider the Goshawk very seriously.
These aeroplanes/airplanes were designed during the transition between the world wars. Look at the 10 years span between the Bristol Fighter and the Bristol Bulldog/ Boeing F4B. And then the 10 years to the Messerschmitt 108/109. Quantum leaps.
Superb walkaround! One of the best out there. Thank you for doing it.
As always your video was very informative, relaxing and enjoyable whilst also being fun. I quite enjoy watching you're videos and in depth videos on older aircraft are very nice. Thank you very much!
On of my favorite aircraft.
What an awesome airplane!
Capt Nordal, a very well constructed video. Glad to see you gave information on Roy Rehm's replica builds. They are constructed to such a high standard that they are more like additions to the end of the assembly line. Ha det så godt. Capt. Storø
Did you build a Spitfire replica with the markings of Rolf Arne Berg?
@@FlywithMagnar Det var meg. (that was me) I am truly amazed anyone picked up on that. I cheated and used my initials, but the markings were in honor of Capt. Berg.
Check out "bulldog taxi" on youtube video for my latest. I like your pun about the "Wasp" !!!
Capt. Storø, the Bulldog looks fantastic!
Great video as usual….Please show us the engine flame out on takeoff - procedure for ATR72 (suggestion for your next video)
Well done and quite informative, sir!
Thanks for this excellent video. Regarding the two machine gun cartridge ejector chutes on the righthand side: I believed the P-12 could be fitted with either two .30 caliber guns or one .30 caliber and one .50 caliber gun. I wonder if that second chute is there to accommodate both configurations.
Yes, the armament was either 2 x .30 inch Browning machine guns with 600 rounds per gun, or 1 x .30 inch machine gun with 600 rounds and 1 x .50 inch machine gun with 200 rounds. But I cannot answer your question about the ejector chutes.
How can the bullets from machine guns avoid hitting the propellers when firing?
The engine drives a synchronization gear that prevents the machine gun to fire when the propeller is in the line of fire. It was invented during WW1.
Check out fantasy of flight.
No money for restoration, and that aircraft is falling apart day by day.
