F.A.Q Section - Ask your questions here :) Q: Do you take aircraft requests? A: I have a list of aircraft I plan to cover, but feel free to add to it with suggestions:) Q: How do you decide what aircraft gets covered next? A: Supporters over on Patreon now get to vote on upcoming topics such as overviews, special videos, and deep dives. Q: Why do you use imperial measurements for some videos, and metric for others? A: I do this based on country of manufacture. Imperial measurements for Britain and the U.S, metric for the rest of the world, but I include text in my videos that convert it for both.

(Oops! Just saw this FAQ section.) Rex, I'd love to know how early biplanes with folding wings were structurally strong enough to hold together. I never see hinge mechanisms that would give me confidence.

Your right, I love binge watching your videos. Saved this one for laying on the sofa in the evening with the lights off when the kids finally went to sleep!

Could you do a video of the f-111 aardvark

Laying in the hospital recovering, listening on headphones. These long form videos are perfect as I drift in and out of sleep 👍

Hopefully a speedy recovery to you!

Thank you for not having that loud weird-ass music in the background that plays the entire video! Love the content..

Thank you for making these long play videos and uploading them to youtube and not just Spotify or whatnot.

I really appreciate this kind of reprise of previous videos; saves me searching for (& sometimes missing) interesting content. I agree it wouldn't work well with the longer videos, unless only three or four at a time.

... Now half way through. Coming up for air. Brilliant stuff.

Thank you, that's very pleasing! Nice voice, not too fast, not too slow. Hardest part for the next days will be to find where I felt asleep. Though that's a very strange compliment it is indeed!

I like it for long road trips, but have to be careful with the sleep.

Rex,I suspect a large portion of your viewers also watch Drachinifel and his 3+ hour q&as.

Absolutely, Good Sir!

I absolutely love long format videos. I know that they don't do nearly as well as 20 minute videos and are a *lot* of work, so I want to thank you for making this for us to enjoy. I appreciate you!

There are plenty of plane nutters about. I look forward to more of your great videos.

Dammit. He did it again. A 3hr video that just breezed by. How come they only feel like 20 minutes? Good job, sir.

The story about two pilots making an unauthorized flight at night and crashing that bomber made me laugh. They had to be blind drunk! Two characters worthy of their own comedy series.

Easter arrived early this year! After the release of your Season 1 video, a few friends and I hosted an aviation history themed party with your video as the main event. We engaged in discussions about various featured aircraft, guys had a chance to show off pictures of their scale models, we even had an occasional War Thunder session (hot seating as we didn't have enough hardware for everyone). It was a blast! With the release of a new video, we now have a perfect excuse to throw another party. I really appreciate this style of videos. Hopefully, you can resolve the issues with your other projects mentioned in the intro. Cheers!

Oh man, 3 hours of goodness, thanks Rex!

Almost a week before I had the time, but glad I could find the time. Excellent, _thank you._ As a fellow aussie, you do the community proud. 👍 Edit - Thought I might add, Sir Charles Richard Fairey is my great uncle, and the controversy surrounding "The Great West Aerodrome" deserves an episode all in of itself. Just wait... As I understand it, the Fairy Aviation Co. Aerodrome was acquisitioned by the govt./military during WW2 to become The Great West Aerodrome, during which time FA Co. had received an absurd sum for the land, under the apparent premise the land would be returned after hostilities ceased. This, of course, never eventuated, and FA Co. had to sue for the return of the land, or just recompense. This all but bankrupted FA Co. at the time, and it was by parting out segments of the company and the *slimmest* of margins that FA Co. continued to exist. They never *really* recovered, and the land they had stolen from them, "The Great West Aerodrome", today, is *Heathrow Airport.* Edit: It's possible I may have mentioned this previously, I'm not sure. Whiskey and whatnot. Cheers.

Just keep making these. A little or a lot? All of the above. We love it!

Last day off this week and have some time today to watch this today... Thanks Rex.

We eating good today!

42:20 " can be boiled down to..." very funny considering you are describing the evaporative cooling system. hahahaha

OMG ! I cannot watch this now, bet it will be great ! :D

Not me at 4:30am just waking up to this on.

Me: I'm physically exhausted and need to go to bed but I'm mentally active. What do? Rex:

Thank you rex, these are going to get me through many long work days. :)

Thank you for your channel. I've been so bored lately and I'm binge watching all of your content.

It seems in the earlier days of flight there were plenty of "terrifying incidents" Loving these long format videos Rex, even though I've watched the individuals.

Whow 3 hours thx Rex, finished it just a minute ago and now its time to fly my Spits in Warthunder RB air

omg season 2 *Happy noises* c: Perfect for my study background noise, thank you c: Perfect reminder and motivator for my mech aero studies :D

Thanks for the second part

When talking of Beardmore we must remember that the first practical aircraft carrier designs and indeed the first purpose built aircraft carrier HMS Argus were Beardmore designs

A great episode again. Perhaps when you get over Covid you could make an episode comprising all the unusual aircraft from Season 2?

If you wish to keep the Swordfish in the air, get drunk. My local brewery, Wadworths of Devizes, Wiltshire, makes a glorious brew called Swordfish. This wonderful beverage is infused with rum and goes down smoother than a torpedoed ship. Wadworths donates a percentage of the income from this most godly of drinks to assist in keep a Fairey flying. Please get wasted so the icon can remain aloft.

Just learning why Lockheed is spelled the way it is was worth the watch by itself.

Re: evaporative cooling at 42.00 - 'It boiled down to 1 or 2 things'.

wow! it is an awesome and great work the one you do on these videos, thanks.

Thanks Rex. 👍

I love these so much.

Keep up the wonderful great work Sir Do incredible wonderful work is what you do and I hope you keep on doing what you're doing even though you may run out of planes and subject matter but you've left me so entertained by all the crazy planes you come up with that I never thought in my life ever existed Obviously Practicality Reliability and Safety was not on the engineer's Minds back in those days Sometimes you get me laughing so hard I'm about to fall out of my chair and crack a rib or something😅❤😂😊

The Boeing B9 had the yet to come B-17 , Staring right at you , this is 1932 by 1944 its Grandaughters an B24's were in Their droves , Amazing the time of apx 14 years in that time think of what went on into New design and ideas , Development tech etc , Great vid Rex .

My understanding of - admittedly modern - air dropping of tanks is that they drop a tank, then drop a repair team to put the tank back together. Anything can be air dropped at least once.

Spoiler Alert: Theres a new "actor" playing the lead role in TSR2.

you could do a "season 2 part 2" compilation, with the longer videos/any series in it. I think I would like the two kinds of videos to be separate instead of mixed together in one long compilation.

I'm loving it! 😍

how they dreamed up some of these monsters and flew them is LOL great format.... and love whatching your hard work....

Wee ten years later, they get the Avro Lancaster. Amazing stuff.

You rock Man great work Sir thank you

Hi! Oh, yes!! Like others said, good voice, no psicadélic or similar musics, and well prepared videos. College class on the subjects. Even a non native English fellow can get it all!

I live the Beardmore Inflexible it just looks so sleek.

I enjoyed learning about these aircraft. Several of the designers frankly sound like amateurs, and I am amazed that test pilots could be found.

I watched the first one probably 6 times because of watching something trying to go to sleep. Finally finished it! Now there's a part 2, horray!

Rex for president

this is going tohelpthe day- thank you sir

i know what im gonna do today! Also: id very much like for the deep dives to be included in these in the future, perhaps even matching overview followed by the deepdive.

Thanks!

Sweet, im listening as i type. Might be a part 2 to my message.

Rex, I'd love to know how early biplanes with folding wings were structurally strong enough to hold together. I never see hinge mechanisms that would give me confidence.

I don't think they could have better demonstrated the vast size of the Inflexible than they did with that photo at 4:40.

Just in time for morning chores!

Please do all the videos for the next season

yes please include everything you post in your season videos

If we're going by the Teslabot, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

so the stringbags were to feature steam cooling, the b17's wright radials had sodium cooling and mercedes built a land speed racer with a drag coefficient of 0.157, powered by a twin supercharged 48 valve dohc v12 outputting 736 hp and 1000nm torque. - technology has advanced exponentially in the century since but ponder some of these designs and it just might make you think twice!

A video on Czechoslovak aircraft would be amazing...especially since they are not well known.

We know you must be playing war thunder rex . Go on admit it. I bet you a heap of us here do. I'd be interested to see some of your footage. Dunno about anyone else

did the CCP Mosquito have same torque direction rotating Props? Looked to me like the Props turned the same direction.

175 kms per hour in England in the 20s surely it would be in MPH.

2 zeros while in a peashooter..... well, it just goes to show how important the pilot is

Brilliant!!

The chapter mark 1:14:00 Blackburn Cubaroo seems to be at the wrong time.

May I suggest the Potez 630 family for a future video?

Bismarck would probably have been able to reach the safety of Luftwaffe air cover and the harbor at Brest if the second day's torpedo hit had not jammed her rudder so that she could only travel in a circle, making Bismarck easy pickings for Rodney and Princes of Wales.

Boeing Peashooters and Flying Fortresses to Boeing 737's with or without side doors.

At 10:26 the cutaway looks like an imperial class star destroyer lol

Swordfish had a high bs factor. It shouldn't have worked at all, let alone so amazingly well.

Nice thx for the „summary“

Just started my shift, almost as if you timed it

Can you do a video about the f-111 aardvark

"AVIATION HIS STORY". 😂😂😂

TIL how lucky I am to be in the organization I'm in 😊

please more

A Cubaroo should be on he ramp at Mascot

Those wings where Made in Wichita KS. At Beechcraft. Walter Beech was Cheap or Wise how ya look at it. He used Circus Tents for the Factory. Where the Sheep Sheads at now. The Train tracks are still by the Flying Club. They load then up on Trains and Ship them to Tulsa. I worked at 37 year at Beechcraft. Started when Jack Braley was in charge. We'd go to Charlie Wade's Garage. Drink Cheap Old Milwaukee lite. Jack would set in the corner and drink Wild Turkey. All the Foremans would show up every night and discuss the days problems. All but Keith Riffle. He didnt drink. Jack was Olive Ann's Nephew. These other men where committed to building Great Aircraft. My contribution, I showed then how to paint the Starships. They had problems first 4. Trying to sand e960 by hand. So I went out the Cessna where I was Laid off at the time. Talked to Jack Engels my old Foreman. He said, you paint the belly pods on the 208s Right? Ya I said. It's the same stuff. Do it the same way Jack said. So from there on in Charlie Wade Had me Prep, Paint and Rework the StarShips. 2 to 53. I taught Beech more than Beech Showed me. What Beech did Teach me. As Charlie would say. Make your Licks Count! No Rework!!! That was a long time ago. Jeff Banks who painted the Left side and me on the Right. Painted those planes. Jeff's fighting Cancer and me with Quadurple Bypass two week ago. Those where some of the best years of my Life

I would prefer the videos stay to just the aircraft overviews. It’s like all the good stuff is condensed. The fun videos are fun, but they’re much better consumed in smaller sections.

The *Military Aviation Museum* in Virginia Beach, Virginia {USA} has a replica _Boeing Peashooter._ That is the first and only one I have seen in person.

any new content expected?

Awesome video. Some of the BW photos could be converted to color as the AI be available.

Chris, you are just the single best site to watch and listen to. I get seriously annoyed by Dutch, Russian or Asian accents over longer times. You sound like an understandable human.

Personally I think this would work better as a Playlist rather than consolidating all the individual.videos into one big one.

Can someone someday explain to me what the sense and reason was for military dudes to wear short trousers. I always laugh out loud when I see that. And don't give me the temperature number, nobody in Kuwait wore short trousers in 91, no matter how hot it was.

It's pronounced 'Left tenit' esp if you are talking about commonwealth ranks

"Hows it going Loghead?" 😑

Was it an accident that aircraft of the 1920s look just like the inside of a corrugated iron, back yard dunny? Like as if you flew in one of those things, you weren't already thinking about it? They look scary.

Best of luck with this format. I will be absent.

I H you!
