my grandfather actually was a ww2 hero : in one day he singlehandedly destroyed 4 fighters, 2 bombers and a stuka. easily the worst mecanic the luftwaffe ever had.

[@TheMrGameszocker]

Fun fact, the body of the ME262 jet fighter was manufactured in my primary school.

I miss the Messerschmitt Me 323(Gigant-biggest cargo plane in WWII) and the Bo 105 which was a long time the multirole Helicopter of the Bundeswehr(attack, scout and cargo-is currently in usage by aerobatics).

[@hansmelbye1804]

After the evolution of uniforms and tanks videos, one about aircraft is what I wanted to see next. So glad my wish came true! I hope to see the evolution of British, American, French, Japanese, Italian, Russian/Soviet aircraft in the future.

It may have already been mentioned, but the Fokker aircraft that stood out at the end of the was was not the D.IV (4) but the Fokker D.VII (7). It was, as you mentioned, an outstanding aircraft, and even saw combat after WWI during the Polish-Soviet war in 1919.

The He 111 was a great bomber when it had fighter cover. It also had a very sturdy airframe and could take a beating. They where still used on the Eastern front up until 1944. Im suprised you mention the Do 217 in stead of the Ju 88 as they Ju 88 was the most common bomber the Germans had.

The Luftwaffe also operated the Vietnam war F-4 Phantom. Great video as always.

[@andrewswift2727]

The plane the Germans were required to turn over at the end of World War I was the Fokker D-7 not the D-4.

[@vermas4654]

That you didnt mention the Zeppelin Staaken R6 "Riesenflugzeug" is a bit disappointing
