I make videos on some of the more esoteric areas of military history and affairs, particularly obscure/forgotten aircraft, the conflict in Myanmar, new technology in defence, and current conflict news. I've also uploaded some combat footage from my time in Syria.

"Vagina, the 30s was not a great time" was what I heard and I'm thinking -- "well this one is going to be interesting....."
Damn the F5 looks alot like the Zero just bulkier
The CR 42 had a KDR of 12 to 1 against the Soviet Air Force on the Eastern Front and Although it's lack of speed was a problem, it's agility and ability to make sharp turns made it a great early war dog fighter.
I was at an airshow in the Midwest in 1987, saw an F-14 on the tarmac, pilot taking questions. He answered one to the effect "Only one aircraft in the world can beat us". I blurted out "F-15"... he just smiled knowingly. Yep, thought so.
By way of an introduction to the aircraft with which Petter was involved, is a who's who, from among the finest aircraft available at the time.
Unusual Hollander
Love the T-bolt
Would they be the "rear guard"?
May I know ( Ko nay mayo zin ( mobile contact ) We would appreciate who can share ? I wish to talk to him
Gen. Butler didn't live to learn about Japan's Unit 731.
Wow!!! Never imagined steam, could be applied, for flight🤔!!! And talk about, thrust reversers………. The motor in reverse?!! Good short doc, on something, not heard about.
Until you reach high altitude and becomes a cloud engine...
Wow pilipines sana ito nlang kaya pang badjet ng pilipines.
Amazing
It seems strange that a biplane, the Albacore, with two wings. Would be replaced by a monoplane, the Barracuda, with sometimes , no wings! Thanks for the very informative video. I really appreciate your narration. Some productions have great content but are hard on the ears.
Regarding Fort EUSTIS: Even Uncle Sam Thinks It Sucks {Somebody I used to work with told me that...🤭}
a trainer for ANTS?!
Starting at about 04:51 in this video... It looks like that _Pucará_ flew RATHER CLOSE to the camera...😱
should have just asked the germans for engines , so much for allied so called help and this still continues today
we shouldnt have relied on so called allies , we should have just bulit everything ourselves fkd around as allways
Was Eddie Stinson's Junkers a JL-6?
The A model was modified into the C.
The only thing that's been killing off all the different energy extraction methods is our helpless dependency upon converting it to rotational motion for utility ... Unless we manage to break off this wall , we aren't going anywhere near next great mechanical evolution
I was shocked to hear him say the plane only flew for 15 minutes and not having enough water. My best guess after watching Pilot Brief you tube channel talking about people crashing like cessna's smaller civilian planes and the like. A big cause of crashes is being too heavy for the planes specs/over max takeoff weight. So he had mentioned the plane being 100 lbs overweight. I think they had to limit the liquid fuel and water on the plane. The ability to stop the plane so fast is probably because the engines have power on both strokes. You switch the engine in reverse it is instant. I'm pretty sure the cars just had a single piston engine and faster than any gasoline car of their era. Watch Jay leno drive like the 2nd model powered car the army used (1880s 90s tech) down the freeway (Maintain 65/100kmh like 55 horsepower or something) steam isn't no joke.
The way those steam cars were set up they were the fastest cars in the world in the 1920's. It has instant steam saying 5 minutes if it was like a boiler it would be like 1 hour. It takes just a couple minutes to get the fire going because they will heat the fuel before it comes out of the nozzle too which superheats it and like after like 2-3 minutes that starts going then another couple minutes and you are rolling. engines have a full power push on each direction of the stroke too. so 150 hp doesn't sound like a lot but it was probably ok power. Watched way too much of jay leno and his steam cars.
Let the RAF do the work do not waste money
The venerable B 52
The 'tough guy' presentation style gets in the way of facts. Some comments about the EE Canberra developed and served well into this century would have enriched contextual knowledge.
Very interesting! Many thanks for sharing Mr Nash!👍👍👍👍👍
I recall an incident, as recounted in the book, "About Face" by Colonel David H. Hackworth, (US Army Ret) ; where he flew as an observer aboard an RAAF Canberra, where he noted the quantity of US service personnel lying on their backs in a field, which told him they were dead US soldiers, going on to further note how accommodating the RAAF pilot was in circling far lower than he would have anticipated, ignoring the reasonably heavy ground fire. He did not see this as reckless, but rather as a confident airman in a good aircraft, which could bear battle damage in pursuit of an objective. It equated with the Canberra's nimbleness and ease of control. Perhaps its finest hours were as high speed high altitude spy planes, flying from West Germany, or the UK, flying a profile well within Soviet Bloc for and photographic reconnaissance images, only to land in Turkey. As the Canberra could fly above the effective height of MIG-17 interception.
The Canberra is one of my favourites, and as it was part of our inventory in the RAAF, seeing highly successful service in Vietnam. I have seen one on a semiregular basis, parked just within the International air shows grounds, held in Melbourne. It is a particularly astonishingly small aircraft, very much bellying its 9 ton weight. I can certainly see its appeal to so many air forces of the world, in particular the USAF, who needed a craft with such unique abilities; both high altitude and high transonic speed. A real rip-snorter for reconnaissance, and bombing.
Considering the aircraft built immediately prior to Canberra
john hartford anyone?
Great presentation!
Standard Oil of Indiana supplied the high octane aviation fuel that allowed higher boost from the superchargers on many of Britain’s planes.
With or without Browning Machine guns ?
Thank you. Very informative indeed.
I don't know what was more shocking, the fact that a Baptist Minister was pledging his allegiance to an inanimate object (idolatry) or the Propaganda to promote Socialism along with a RITUAL.🤔
There are two of them that fly out of Driggs, Idaho. Driggs has about half a dozen of these early fighters flying in and out of there.
When I was a kid in the 1950, the Bessler was never mentioned the idea of a steam-plane seemingly dying with Hiram Maxim's failed attempt supposedly over-shadowed by the Wright Brothers and their internal-comustion engine. The history books really need to be re-written!
I was only half listening when the vid started. But then I heard the 'lay the tracks down' joke and the cymbals. Cracked me up!
These type of steam engines don’t consume any water. The steam is expelled from the engine into a condenser radiator which delivers the same water back to the engine.
Good information.
Comparative range with contemporaries?
Well damn, your running low on water, just fly into the nearest rain cloud 🤣
If not for a messy tift with Japan a deal may have been struck to acquire the Emily or the Mavis perhaps.
Impressive climb rate, even with the lesser Griffon 61.
One of my most hated aircraft solely because of War Thunder.
Spitefuls Mk.14's were actually in production. Spiteful Mk.16 was the fastest.... 494 mph.
The MIG ye ate. 😂
