Hi there, I'm so glad I found your channel. I'd like to ask you if you have any more information on the huge timber construction hanger used for an airship in 1944. I have always been fascinated by construction made during the 2nd WW. I have added your channel to my favorite list &can't wait until your next video. All the best from Australia.

This video features it prominently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znmak5SiqMZnm80 Also the Air Museum that is there now has a great page on The Internet Archive website where the post a lot of media in HD. archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Tillamook+Air+Museum%22

Wasn't the first mockup battleship, there was the U.S.S. Illinois made in Chicago for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

I didn't know about that, thanks. That 1893 expo would make a great video.
