I really like videos on the more under reported planes. Everyone knows the Spitfire/ME-109/Zero etc. but there are a lot of really interesting designs. I’m actually a naval historian nerd, and was amazed at the Swedish navy in the steam and steel era. I’d love to learn more about the more obscure attempts at aviation solutions. FYI, I often listen while walking my hound dog. Thanks man.

Rex, I have been thinking about perhaps covering airplanes like the DC-5 only 12 built), the Curtiss Condor, de Havilland DH.91 Albatross (7 built) and some other obscure passenger aircraft. Maybe something like the Vickers Viscount (I owned three of them back in the 1970's) or perhaps the Brabazon or Sanders Roe Princess. Then you mentioned this idea already, but stories on people like Bill Boeing, Donald Douglas, Leroy Grumman, R.J. Mitchell, Frank Whittle, Glenn Curtiss and I could go on. Another topic could be aircraft designers, like Ralph Harmon, Ed Heinemann, Ted Smith, Edgar Schmued, Kelly Johnson, Geoffrey de Havilland, Jack Northrop and the Wright Brothers. I have been watching only for a year or so as many of these have been done. That ought to keep you busy for a bit. No time for anymore haircuts.

Hey Rex you should do a trip to New Zealand at some stage. Peter Jackson the film maker has got the most amazing collection of WWI restorations and replicas in the world. The replicas are built using all the old techniques so you cant tell that many are replicas. There are also major WWII restorations done in NZ. I think our warbirds airshows are the only place in the world where you can see Camels and SE5s doing mock dogfights against several Fokker Triplanes.

The book(s) of which there are several volumes started print in 1916. There is a brief mention of the French putting a 75mm gun, yes, 75mm, into some of their aircraft. It seems they used a one time wooden breach block to counter the problem of recoil. There was no other information, other than it seemed to work. Never having heard of this, I wonder if anyone else has any more information.

Do you have the FHCAM "Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum" in Everett Washington on your USA agenda? It is located at Paine Field near the Boeing Plant about 30 minutes north of Seattle. FHCAM has an amazing collection of WWII Aircraft, many of which are flown several times during the summer airshow season. Including a Zero, IL2, FW190, BF109, and Mosquito. There is at least one other channel on KZbin that features videos of these aircraft at their fly days. Of course, Seattle has the huge "The Museum of Flight" at Boeing Field. An hour north of Everett, at the Skagit Airport near Burlington WA, is the "Heritage Flight Museum" which flies its' aircraft at least once a month in the summer season. They have an interesting connection to the Apollo 8 astronaut who snapped the "Earthrise" photo. The orientation of the runway here has better light for photography than at Paine Field. Thanks for the videos.

First sources (people who saw it happen) are better than secondary sources (people who talked to the first sources) and way better than tertiary sources (people who read what the secondary sources wrote). The one thing you have to remember about first sources - they can only tell you about what they saw and did - which can leave a lot of questions. The canonical case of this is the first source at the Battle of Agincourt who was with the baggage train - he saw things at a distance but really was almost a secondary source.

He had one kid who's grandfather was part of the crew of the carrier U.S.S Franklyn during the kamikaze attack. Prior to this interview all he ever said to his family was that he was in the Pacific. P.S. the kids had to tape record the interviews. One student found out they had a brother who lives in China. They had left after he was a grown up and he stayed behind. When you hit the U.S. East Coast, you should set up an interview with the restoration department at Smithsonian Air and Space at Udvar-Hazy. They have so many unique planes that they have restored, even a Horton 229.

I never considered that you have the same issue that we have here in the U.S., that of housing prices varying greatly depending on location. I live in Southern California, but because I live in the low desert (I can empathize with your heat issues) in a primarily agricultural region, so our median income is much lower than the urban areas. Because of that, our housing is much cheaper than L.A., San Diego, or other, "nicer" areas of the state.
