3:35 Wouldn't flying over (and maybe landing in, can't tell) axis controlled territory in 1943 also be a little sketchy? Maybe it would have been a little safer to route from Egypt through Sicily (invaded by allies at the time of the flights) to Gilbrater and/or Portugal to the British Isles? If Sicily wasn't an option, maybe somewhere in North Africa? Maybe I'll do some math and report back.
@KevBotM6 жыл бұрын
So, I'll assume the BOAC the Armstrong Whitworth Ensign, which according to Wikipedia was historically used for transport between Britain and Asia. This aircraft has a range of 1190 nmi (2200 km or 1370 mi). Here is my route from Karachi to London, staying within the British Empire in July 1943 as much as possible, and avoiding war zones and the airspace of unfriendly countries. Karachi to Kuwait (Kuwait City): ~1054 nmi (~1953 km or ~1213 mi). Flies over Iran into Kuwait, a British protectorate Kuwait City to Mandatory Palestine (Tel Aviv): ~701 nmi (~1299 km or ~807 mi). Could be anywhere in Palestine or even Egypt. Mandatory Palestine is part of the British Empire. Tel Aviv to Tripoli: ~1093.84 nmi (~2026 km or ~1259 mi). Tripoli is not a war zone at this point and is now governed by the British Empire (until 1951). Tripoli to Gibraltar: ~938 nmi (~1738 km or ~1080 mi). Gibraltar is part of the British Empire and is for the most part not under threat from the axis at this point. Gibraltar to Porto (Portugal): ~399 nmi (~739 km or ~459 mi). Stopping in Portugal could most likely be avoided, but it is a little safer this way and avoids unfriendly Spain (Spanish airspace is avoided by going south and west across the Strait of Gibraltar, through the Gulf of Cádiz, and entering friendly Portugal from the south) as well as unfriendly Vichy France and very unfriendly Nazi occupied France. Side note: Both Spain and Portugal are officially neutral, but Portugal is friendly to the allies and Spain is friendly to the axis. Portugal gets screwed over by history regarding both world wars far too often. They were an allied belligerent in WWI but got nothing for it in the end, and were important in keeping Fascist Spain out of WWII. Porto to London: ~771 nmi (~1428 km, ~887 mi). Routed to avoid unfriendly Spain and unfriendly Nazi occupied France. All of these flights are well within range of long-range transport aircraft operated by BOAC avoid active war zones and potentially hostile airspace. I'm not sure how it actually was routed and I could be way off, but I'm not convinced they flew mail and civilians over Nazi and Fascist controlled Italy, Vichy France, and Nazi occupied France as is depicted in the video.

I knew it was going to be the PBY Catalina, and I wasn't disappointed. That plane was ludicrously good, even though it was considered obsolete before WW2 even started, the plane somehow went on to become a crazy versatile and capable workhorse is a large variety of roles, serving pivotal roles in key battles, performing daring rescues, raiding the living hell out of Japanese merchant shipping in the pitch black of night, and even dogfighting with Zeros successfully. Makes sense that, all nonessentials removed and as much auxiliary fuel as you can carry, it could successfully, reliably, and consistently make 4000 mile, 28+ hour trips over open ocean and through enemy territory without any losses or accidents.

The only problem with this happening now is the lack of float planes that could handle that kind of distance.

spawnof200, NATO is pronounced _ˈneɪtoʊ,_ but "Atlantic" is pronounced _atˈlantɪk,_ and "Organisation" is _ɔːɡ(ə)nʌɪˈzeɪʃ(ə)n,_ so shouldn't it be _natɔ_ with that method? My point is, acronyms can change the pronounciation.

I like how careful they were to avoid Japanese airspace but then flew directly over Italy and occupied France, at least according to the map in this video.
