As a bomber they were obsolete when sent out to operational service, thank goodness they were never sent into combat against the Luftwaffe.

The Skua and Roc were crappy designs too.

Way too many so called WW2 experts due to TikTok.

Thank you for this. I am writing the second only biography of Claude, with the blessing of the RAF Museum. It will contain new material not contained in the Wallace biography and I hope it will shed more light on this extraordinary man, his achievements and what drive him.

You've certainly assembled some great b/w images... what are the two trumpet-shaped things protruding ahead inside edge of cowling from between engine-cylinders at 13:00, does anyone know ?

You've stated the lowered side of nose bubble on Mk IV as to starboard side, but lowered side of it is port, isn't it?

The Beaufort was a much better looking plane too. And reliable and robust

Low lov

Another Horsa is currrently being restored ans is on display at the de Havilland museum, Salisbury Hall, Conley, UK. 0:15

For God's sake will you please stop saying hhhhhhaaache: Otherwise, great viedo

if this is same docu as used to be under 'Blenheim Forgotten Bomber" it's a very good one about something other than the usual Lancasters and Mosquitos

Oh Dear Dear!!! It's The Isle of Wight. Not Isle of Right. Grrrr

I got gifted this for my birthday ,can’t wait to build it during the winter holidays 😂

very good recap, thanks

Strange that they never tried to improve the pilot's view from the cockpit, it must have been virtually impossible for him to see anything even the slightest bit behind him.

Friendly recommendation: Please try to speak without the dialect. The only guy in KZbin who is pardoned to speak with dialect is Australian 'Perun'.

As a plane enthusiast and one of the two people in my entire family who love to fly, I deeply appreciate videos like this. If I had the choice of flying any type of passenger airplane in the world I would choose the Lockheed L 1049 Super Constellation. Its classic design, long-range capabilities, and historical significance, really say how ahead of their time these planes were.

It is with Great Appreciation and thanks to (All of You Generous People) . That share your wonderful stories of your family members/relatives. That they will never be forgotton, and their memories shall live on in time ! They fought so ( all of us ) can enjoy our freedom ! Our father No.65 squadron R.C.A.F. and No. 149 Tbr. Sq. R.C.A.F. Repaired a multitude of aircraft. Tiger moths, Bristol Beauforts, Handleypage Hamptons, and Liberators later on in the War.

My Dad converted to 256 Squadron from an Eagle squadron- 256 equipped with Defiants at the time covering Liverpool at night. He said it got better when the got replaced with Beaufighters.

Cladstine..!?

The Bristol Blenheim 0:55. I always recognise it by the patio doors on the front.

Yet often forgot is that the Halifax 111 B V1 had a max speed of over 300mph

Hollis Wood!

@7:44.. tail symbol of JU-86 - leftover of war censorship , or more modern issue ?

Maybe give subtitles to your videos if you're gonna play so damn loud

I'm sorry the P2 does not look anything like any german fighter of WW2.

Where have You been hiding ? Your still on My Subscriptions list , but this is the first notification I've had in ages . Glad Your back though . Thanks for this episode key climbing and climb high . Catch You next time .

Cool channel mate, keen to see it grow

Blackburn seemed to take pride in creating aircraft that should scare the pilots who would have to fly them. In addition to the already mentioned Blackburn Blackburn, it would include: - Blackburn AD Scout - Blackburn Sidecar

I hardly think it's forgotten. A very well known aircraft.

I just noticed, it’s quite long.

I've actually seen the Stampe SV.4c and Pilatus P-2 that they used in the film. The Stampe was later used in the filming of The Mummy, and the Pilatus was later badly damaged in a forced landing.

My uncle was a pilot on a Halifax LW466 MH-H based at 51 squ. RAF Snaith.They were shot down in January 1944,they all died and are now buried in the British cemetery near Berlin. I have a picture of him but would have loved one with the crew and the plane 😢

"The flying coffin" - Not one single one remains in tact, and so many of these crashed. My grandfathers twin brother Tom Timms died in one of these 21/10/1943 at Manor Farm, Purton, Gloucestershire, aged 22. Dreadful aircraft and not fit for purpose. I tracked down a witness who was a farm hand when the plane came down. He is late 90's now and he had kept the tail wheel for over 70 years which he gave me through tear filled eyes.

I'm an employee of the Piper Aviation Museum in Lock Haven, Pa. We are the home of Piper Aircraft. We have a L4 Grasshopper on display here. Piper built a total of 75000 airplanes here in Lock Haven. The museum is located in the former engineering building.

Great video. Thanks for researching the information and compiling and editing the information. Cheers

Fly, Yeah... Land, No. WOW! The guy landed on a taxi way at one of the busiest airports in the world! And he didn't even loose his ticket... How prophetic.

12:27 "..action packed..." Huh! They're both just standing....with Indy looking for a loophole!! 😛

2:51 "Even though Zeppelins were never built to carry other aircraft." USS Akron having a small hanger capable of carrying 5 biplanes onboard: 👁👄👁 (jokes asides great video!)

Last Crusade is an amazing film! It is a pity that they never made any more Indiana Jones films after it was released, to be fair anything made more recently wouldn't have been as good....just imagine they may even of had Aliens and a CGI Indy shudder!

Planes of hollywood films or shows live action or animation Well I like to mention uss Indianapolis men of courage the film has lot of inaccuracies but there are planes were seen in the films the kamikaze scene in opening of the film shows cgi zero hitting ships bow in real life it was Ki-43 that hit that hit the ship stern. Later before Indianapolis sinking in San Francisco scene there was cgi p-51 mustange which flyby the ship swooping way to close to ships bow which is unrealistic so I recreated in war thunder just to show differently. After the Indianapolis sinking 5 days later anti sub planes were shown little until PBY Catalina which they real plane and cgi but the plane was damaged landing on water and scrapped. I think better way to avoid damage they should have let the plane float in water for rescue and miniature model for landing shots instead of cgi. There is a good uss Indianapolis film called mission of the sharks the suppose PBY Catalina isn't Catalina its Grumman HU-16 Albatross 1949 float plane probably for some reasons but the film did better than Men of courage.

There are real WW2 German aircraft that resamblence SV-4 and P-2 , Bucker Bu-131 and Arado Ar-96

The idea for the zeppelin carrying aircraft likely came from the Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk, which is one sexy looking airplane.

Another thing to note is the gun on the biplane used by Henry Jones Sr. This is a mock up of a Villar perosa. A reallife gun designed and used during ww1 by the Italian military. It was a twin barrel machine gun that fired a pistol cartridge, something unusual for the time period. It was quickly discovered that this design wasn't really useful as an anti aircraft gun as the pistol cartridge was way underpowered, so production was discontinued. However many found there way towards the frontlines. Here the were fitted with simple buttstocks and used by soldiers. Incidentally becoming the first sub machine gun. Very few real Villar perosa's survive, almost all are in collections of museums. However a company in Hollywood made a blank fire mock up sometime in the 1980s. It appears in The Sicilian, Batman 89 and this movie. But this movie is the only one were its used as an aircraft gun.

"Jhonny I hardly knew you" playing in the background had me tripping.

"there were never any aircraft mounted on zeppelins". The Akron and Macon both want a word with you. Both had up to 5 fighters on them. Yes, they were US dirigibles but that's still a ridged frame are ship

@AntiqueAirshow >>> Great video...👍

3:36: “In 1928, the new Graf Zeppelin was launched”. That would be LZ-127, the Graf Zeppelin. The LZ-130, named the “New Graf Zeppelin” was identical to the Hindenburg and operated for two years AFTER the Hindenburg burned. I realize what you meant to say, but considering there was a “Graf Zeppelin” AND a “New Graf Zeppelin”, your phrasing is confusing. Note that the scenic bay windows on the “Raiders” Zeppelin were copied directly from the Hindenburg and New Graf Zeppelin.

I really liked this fine Planes of Hollywood #3.....Thank you...... Old F-4 Phantom pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Rest in peace, Sir Sean Connery who played Henry Jones Sr
