I'd add WW2 with Indy Neidell to that list

What a shame that the Triplane wasn’t able to be saved. It is my favorite, and no originals are left. 😢 There is lots of interest in WWII airplanes but we hear so little about WWI ones. My grandpa was in the trenches and saw some brightly colored German airplanes flying overhead several times. He was told it was the Red Baron’s group, but he certainly couldn’t be sure. That made me interested in the subject.

I agree, WW1 aviation should get more attention than it does, the men in those days were the pioneers and incredibly brave, but like much of WW1 the aviation aspect's been over shadowed by the vaster scale of WW2, especially here in the US. It's a shame. I first learned of the air war of 1914-1918 during the 50th Anniversary of WW1 in the 1960's and have been fascinated by it ever since. And you know it's been said, and it's probably true, that when the last WW2 era aircraft are gounded do to lack of spare parts, metal fatigue, or lack of funding (they are VERY expensive to operate) the WW1 replicas will still be in the air. So WW1 aviation will have the last laugh in the end!

That's interesting. It's generally recognised that the Fokker company invented the interrupter gear, although there were patents on other devices invented by others from years before. The story that Fokker himself thought of the invention one evening - and he was so worried that he'd forget the idea overnight that he spent all night at the drawing board putting it down on paper - is just that: a story. The British copied the interrupter gear after recovering samples from shot-down German aircraft.

During summer I’d get to go into the shop with him and occasionally get out onto the aircraft. At 17 I joined the US Navy and served as a P-3 Aircrewman and accrued over 3,000 flight hours. After leaving the Navy I flew in RP-3 aircraft as a project specialist gathering data in support of science. I’m finishing up my career as a flight test engineer. I’ve loved and worked with aircraft since I was a little one and still can’t wait to get to work in the am.

We had been attacked while still carrying on diplomatic negotiations, and there was fear of third column activity by the Japanese/Americans. It was without any real basis, and it was shameful for a Democracy. However, to dare to equate it with activities of Nazi Germany is also disgraceful.

When the 5th Golden Ticket is supposedly found by a South American casino owner...the picture they hold up of him is actually a picture Martin Borman, Hitler's Secretary. I have seen that film many times, but only now did I recognized him after seeing him often in your videos. Cheers! 🥃

Always had a great love for World War 1 aircraft and great to see such an impressive collection preserved in Poland! I've had the opportunity myself to see a pretty good collection of WW1 era aircraft preserved at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. I believe they have an intact Sopwith Camel and Snipe as well as two very rare surviving German aircraft. An AEG G.IV bomber which may be the only surviving twin engine German combat aircraft from WW1. And also the only complete Junkers J.1 which was the first all metal aircraft to enter mass production. Worth checking out!

No Albatross D3? Ironically those would possibly have provided air cover for my grandma's brothers in WW-1 and then them and grandpa in the Polish Soviet War. Grandma's side were Poles in German territory and grandpa served in Haller's Army during both wars.
