A Short History

A Short History

At A Short History I make short documentary-style videos focusing mainly on the world of military aviation. While I do enjoy making videos on Cold War aircraft, I will do videos on other periods as well.

From time to time, I try to make videos on other topics as well, but usually focused on military history in some form. I always try to respect copyright laws.

    I would say it’s still an F-16 variant but it’s a different enough derivative to earn it’s own designation

    The Mark 2 did not operate during the war, iirc. It was only the Mark V model that was used for V-1 hunting ( along with other operational aircraft like the Spitfire )

    During the 1960s, there was a squadron of A-5 Vigilantes that were assigned to NAS Sanford, Florida (now Sanford-Orlando International Airport). In 2003, a restored RA-5C Vigilante was put on display at the NAS Sanford Memorial Park (at the airport).

    The undercarriage was not retractable. It was fixed. Interestingly it had only a battery for electrical power and fuel for about 15 min which made getting it shown to the Farnborough air show a tricky flight. I think I remember that it had balsa wood wing leading edges that could be varied.

    The Honeywell E-6 autopilot was developed for the B-50 but cockpit pictures only show the older autopilot - anyone know if it was ever installed in the B-50? (was used in the B-36).

    Why wasn’t the Angle of Attack problem picked up in the design and testing stage and fixed before it went to production? They had wind tunnels for just that purpose.

    Sweden was NOT neutral in the Winter War. It declared itself "non-belligerent" which made for providing with much of its own military hardware as well as a lot of officially sanctioned volunteers. It was all quite deliberate.

    I was the proud owner and pilot of an ex Swiss DH100 mk6. I can tell you that it was a wonderful flying aircraft, but quite thirsty at 5 gallons per minute. After 13 years, I sold the craft in 2005, and she is still flying in California.

    Before Sputnik, and before the Space Race that eventually led to Americans setting foot on the Moon, the Federal government envisaged humans in space as a relatively minor part of the national defense: first X-15, then Dyna-Soar with increasing capability as boosters became bigger, leading eventually to a manned orbital vehicle able to perform reconnaissance over the Soviet Union and drop bombs on it (Dyna-MOWS).
