    Depends on your point of view, for von Braun it was huge success as it led to him getting his moon rocket

    Ohain was a charleton. His first designs were centrifugal and failed. The Germans went for the problematic, at the time, axial flow design. The British flew a Meteor with an axial-flow Metro-Vick engine in 1943 dropping it in favour of the reliable centrifugal design. There were *five* turbojet engines in the UK under R&D in WW2: *1) Centrifugal,* by Whittle (Rover); *2) Centrifugal,* by Frank Halford (DeHaviland); *3) Axial-flow,* by Metro-Vick; *4) Axial-flow* by Griffiths (Rolls Royce); *5) Axial flow compressor, with reverse flow combustion chambers.* The ASX by Armstrong Siddeley; Metro-Vick sold their jet engine division to Armstrong Siddeley. The Metro-Vick engine transpired into the post war Sapphire. Most American engines in the 1940s/50s were of UK design, many made under licence. The US licensed the J-42 (RR Nene) and J-48 (RR Tay), being virtually identical to the British engines. US aircraft used licensed British engines powering the: P-59, P-80, T-33, F9F Panther, F9F-6 Cougar, FJ Fury 3 and 4, Martin B-57 Canberra, F-94 Starfire, A4 Skyhawk and the A7 Corsair. The US General Electric J-47 turbojet was developed by General Electric in conjunction with Metropolitan Vickers of the UK, who had already developed a 9-stage axial-flow compressor engine licensing the design to Allison in 1944 for the earlier J-35 engine first flying in May 1948. The centrifugal Rolls Royce Nene is one of the highest production jet engines in history with over 50,000 built.

    Interesting insight into the impact the Gulf War had on the end of the Soviet Union. Let us hope that the failure of the 'second best army in the world' to become the 'best army in Ukraine' will have similar consequences.

    Argentina has been a force to be reckoned with for over 80 years. Just not powerful enough to defeat the British. British Air supremacy overwhelmed Argentina's navy and army forces. It was humiliation to the max for Argentina. Hurt like mad!

    A number of inaccuracies and gaps in this video. The Junkers and Whittle jet engines produced roughly the same amount of thrust in the 1944/5 production ME262 and Meteor planes. The Meteor was greatly hampered by the drag of its huge engine nacelles. The Germans were short of special metals such as Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Titanium etc. All needed to manufacture strong turbine blades. German jet fuel was very unstable.

    That Focke Wulf Ta. 152 was the best. It had a pressurized cabin and had a maximum ceiling of 48,550ft. One of the 152s test pilots encountered a couple of P-51s on a test flight and only had to open the throttle and pull away from them.

    Just like a copy of the situation that the British left in India. A country where 2 majority ethnics had lived peacefully for centuries where the peace had been destroyed by the British occupation and resorted to civil war and separatism after Britain left. What a terrible legacy of British colonialism.

    30,000 Americans and 44,000 from Bomber Command, just an example of the sheer amount lives given in the defence of freedom. Still people argue on-line about what are really trivialities. That is not to say debate and discussion is a bad thing, indeed that is what was fought for, but we all need to keep in mind what was endured overcome by our forebears.

    My uncle Ken was in charge of building advanced landing grounds for the Canadian army on its march through Belgium. He had an interesting encounter with a V2. It came down very close to his jeep, but fortunately it came down in a marsh. So instead of going "Boom", it went "Sloop"! A close call.

    I have always wondered why the Argentine air force concentrated its attack on the fleet in the St. Charles Strait, and did not try to inflict damage and casualties on the British troops. But it must be borne in mind that the first days when they began the entry to the strait and the landing, making the beachhead, the bad weather did not allow the Argentine planes to operate, because to reach the islands, they had to refuel in the air beforehand, so the surprise of the landing ended up giving a tinge of surprise, since it was possible to disembark unopposed, since the garrison of (Pradera del Ganso) was 13 miles away, and the Argentine air attacks came much later and were directed against the ships and not against the troops that were manning the consolidated coast and the beachhead, the weather changed the air strategy from the Argentine mainland and the wrong tactic of attacking ships and not the army on land, but well the ships deployed there were there to protect their troops and one can only imagine what would have happened and what chances the Argentine air force would have had in attacking the British beachhead.

    Highly recommend to anyone that wants a full understanding of this battle to watch Montemayor's series on Midway here on youtube. The first two episodes of it are from the Japanese point of view and include the fog of war, doing this really lets you understand this battle (the 3rd episode is from the US pov to complete the picture).

    Nagumo's priority was to carry out his mission which was the destruction of Midway. He missed the unspoken higher priority which was preservation of his fleet against the suspected approach of a hostile force. Midway was a fixed target and was not going anywhere.

    I think there is a problema from the beginning in the video, because it seid that Argetine Aireforece has superiority at the begging of the war and that was not true. The Brithish Harries has aire to aire missiles. While argentine airefoces does not have radars. So British has great superior force. Eventhoug there were on the see. Argentine aireforce had very few minutos to reach the target from contienen and return to avoid get out of gas.
