Quite informative. However disappointed by your mix of valve less and the valved pulse jet engines. Also having the spark plug "flash" every time your animation of your pulse jet operation was rather amusing. Manned valve less aircraft continued well after WW2 - but not by Germany as coming second in WW2 kind of stopped that. The Russians had a crack of it as well with their knock off As 014 copies. The pulse jet never really went away...and they are making their come back in the current war in Ukraine

Omg all upur speculation on people at the times opinions of the P-40 is so far off its not even funny. Saying that the flying tigers hot them because no one else wanted them when the 100 had to be deviated from planes slotted to go to Britain for the War going on in Europe shiws youre wrong. Further the P-40 was the top of the line fighter in the US Arsenal in 1940. Everyone thought the Japanese couldnt byild decent fighters, and the American doctrine at the time was that fighters were useless. Chenault was pushed out of the USAAC because of his opinions on the Fighters versus Bombers.

The only way to mitigate the resonance and oxygen shortage issues, that I can think of, would be to have the engines attached to some kind of spring loaded fittings, and then have an additional injector that could be opened at altitude to supply additional oxygen to the engine from an internal tank containing pure oxygen. Then again, I'm no engineer.

The V-1 was more of a cruise missile rather than an aircraft. If I understand correctly, it didn't have a guidance system, other than to point it in the direction of a target and send it on its way. Because of this, it wasn't very accurate, but it was quite destructive.

It's worth mentioning that Bristol also produced motor cars of the highest quality, some say superior to the Rolls Royce. They went into liquidation in 2011 but I understand that Bristol cars are once again being produced and should go on sale in 2025.

I liked your video very much. Thank you.. Good job!!!

Images of a shutterless pulse jet in this video should be deleted. Not relevant to the Me 328 program.

It wasn't a warbird but some C-47s in Canadian use had floats developed for them. Buffalo Air had some of those floats in their warehouse.😊

Thank you for showing this.,Idea solid booster rocket in a slightly redesigned Me-163 instead of licquid rocket engine?

Slightly off subject, I worked on a Volkswagen Thing and the generator and starter was the same motor. Idling in traffic, the battery light would often turn on slightly. For the year Volkswagen Thing that I was repairing, the starter/generator combination was not listed for that model. Perhaps the engine was not original. Regardless, my repair was all suspension work.

Some constructive cristism I think the Ai images detract and look out of place with the majority of rest of video. Is the narration also Ai?

Amazing video with the extensive story of these submarines and their floatplanes. Thanks Brian. 👍

The SB2C is also known as the absolute worst mass-produced aircraft of all time

Hidden between two engines it looks like you have no side vision.

Great video, and the best part is that you didn’t use an AI voiceover

Your Commentary On The SB2C Hell Diver Was Very Informative. The Hell Diver Was Unliked Early On By Aircrews Due To Its Instability & Bulk. Eventually The Newer Models Put To Work Had A Better Record Than The Earlier Units. Earlier Crews Only Survived With Their Skill & Gods Graces. The Grumman Avenger Was A Better Built Aircraft But Even Those Had A Hard Way To Get Home After A Meeting With A Skilled Adversary. Thanks For Bringing These Aircraft To Life Here To Keep These Brave Men's Legacy Alive....

It wasn't "whispering" death It was whistling death Vaught F4U Corsair

Cool Content! Metric as well please for 95% of the Global 🌏 Population

If you really like the ME163, you need the diorama I made of one taking off.

not a war bird. its a weapon in its entirety. the first "cruise missile"

I learned about this plane from buying the old Airfix Do 217+Me 328 Mistel kit back when I was a youngster. It is interesting that it is not featured almost in any WW2 aviation-themed books at all.

😊 putting 2 jets close together😊 reduces the😊 combined power output to😊less than one.....😊,... a little disappointing😊and the reason why it😊 and a😊 failed anti-aircraft double pulsejet missile project by Zeppelin 😊 also failed😊

The tiny propeller..chef's kiss.

Always excitedly look for your posts this one though the audio and video is not that great

Always fascinated by these WWII German jets.

There is no animated explaination of these starters on youtube. You should make one and another for shotgun starters. No one else has done it.

Hey ive noticed a vaccum in an explanation of these. You should use an ai or another youtuber to colaborate and make an animated explanation of these as well as shot gun starters.

Sister? Birth Mother!

The Black Widow P61 my favorite WWII planes, do a segment on this plane

Very interesting

What a rare major project of Imperial Japan that actually went well during the war. The engineering feat achieved is amazing at the time. The same people went on to create super robot genre and Gundam.....

The P-51 and variants have been done many times. Try a deep video dive on the unloved Brewster Buffalo.

NAA originally began as the US subsidiary of the Dutch Fokker corporation. This firm collapsed during the Depression and was reconstituted in the 1930s. If not for that stroke of fate we would have fought WW2 with FOKKER P-51s and B-25s!!!🤪

Well told. Interesting gambit.

this is almost word for word copy of Rex's Hanger episode on the Beaufighter

Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

The A-36 with the Rolls Royce Merlin was faster than the following bubble canopy D-Models I've been told. Had a friend who ferried one up from South America, a D-model that he had a photo of. There was talk around the airport where I learned to fly, the Redding California Municipal Airport about a P-51 D model that sat forlorn looking at a small airport in Northern California. I decided to fly around until I found it, and I did. The gear was covered in spider webs and wind blown litter. It was sad to see such a magnificent airplane just sitting out in the sun and weather. The story I heard is the airplane was inherited by the family of the deceased owner but they didn't have the funds to restore the airplane which of course could have cost tens of thousands of dollars. Thanks for the story.

Hanna Reisch tested the V1 for human flight, but she said it's too unstable, so the project was stopped.

No actually you sound like a f****** dork. You sound like a gay version of Mr Rogers on fentanyl.. . And you damn sure didn't cover and nothing about the mustang a you got to the mustang a and you stopped like okay well the whole purpose of the mustang was what you were talking about the mustang a is the first retrofitted new version of the what? Of the same play and you just made a video of...Duhhh... It's definitely not a beautiful day in your neighborhood there's too many chemtrails and crackheads and immigrants are stealing your food

Great History, Great Story. Thanks for Sharing. I enjoy these "Side Notes" that are rarely mentioned in History.

Great Video 😊 Thanks for Sharing !

Need to do the P51A that the British loved.

Fascinating stuff new to me, thanks. I'd never heard of manned pulse jets before, but as a musical instrument maker, I realized right away that they would have enormous problems with vibration and resonances. cheers from cool Vienna, Scott

i've never heard of this one, very sleek looking.

I'd clarified this months ago, but still...the video is full of holes: Here's another version calling out the errors in this podcast/whatEVER! The "Apache" name WAS being "pushed' by NAA, but it never - EVER - was an official name for ANY of the aircraft in the Mustang Family. In 1942, when the 3rd model of Mustang was built (in this video, whoEVER put this together, left out the 3rd model in that family - the NA-91 ... 150 of them were built for the RAF under Lend-Lease, being paid for by the USAAC/USAAF - when WWII broke out for the US, only 92 of the 150 went to the RAF, with the rest staying behind, one going to the Navy, two being "set aside" by NAA to finish-off as the two XP-51B Merlin Mustang prototypes and most of the remaining ones were modified into photo-recon (Tac-R role, in the USAAF) aircraft by the addition of cameras, but retaining the characteristic FOUR Hispano 20 mm cannons (2 in each wing). These NA-91s were the last aircraft that NAA, IN-HOUSE (and in advertisements in magazines of the era - I've got screenshots of magazine ads from September, 1941 until mid-1942) called the "Apache"). In July, 1942, Dutch Kindelberger HIMSELF, set the world straight, by sending a Telegram to Col. Arthur I. Ennis (Chief of USAAF's Public Relations Branch) clarifying the name of the AT-6/SNJ aircraft as "Texan" and the B-25 as "Mitchell," AND ... as clarified in the Telegram, "for commonality with the RAF," any NAA aircraft of the P-51 fighter type will be named "MUSTANG." Well, sir ... the final (as in signed, sealed and delivered) contract between the USAAF and NAA for the A-36 was NOT finalized unitl August, 1942 (which followed July, 1942), SOOOOOOoooo...the A-36A never-EVER was OFFICIALLY named ANYTHING but "Mustang." The "Apache-confusion" did rear its head about 1970, when writers and authors saw the old 1941 and EARLY 1942 ads where the P-51 Apache was featured. They mistook artists' impressions of diving aircraft that depict Mustangs and the word "Apache," which WAS in use by NAA at the time, and these writers more-or-less/kinda-sorta "conflated" the name and thought that the depictions were A-36s (which did not even begin production until September, 1942). SOOOOOOO...the A-36A ,while it DID get nicknamed "Invader" by the men in the 86th FBG in the 12th AF (Lt Robert Walsh is credited with that name, by the way), but it was exactly - EXACTLY- what modern US military folks do, in nicknaming the A-10 Thuderbolt II as "Warthog" and the F-16 Fighting Falcon as "Viper" (or "Lawn Dart") ... and so on. I also wonder if the guy who put this video together credited photographer David Leininger (at least one looks like HIS photos) and others whose work is shown in this video.

The P-51A (Mustang II) production line was producing fighters at the same time as the A-36.
