The Taliban didn’t capture our US military equipment; it was left behind by the Biden administration and the Democraps just like our in-country US citizens and allies. FJB!

Imagine the aircraft that didn’t get as far as prototypes, in that we’re not able to see or hear about. The UK designed & built some iconic warplanes and civilian but because of the timidity of the politicians especially during the 60’s and 70’s the UK suffered an air-tech brain drain from which we never fully recovered.

Excellent video. 👏👍👍

We can easily afford some jets. It’s the political cowardice that’s the problem and the loony left that will point the finger that the cash could be spent on a hospital.

We could have had anything A-29B AT-6B AT-7A KA-50 But no... ...we have this...

Napier sabre an awful engine? Umm i dont think so.

Not sure how they plan to employ this against targets that shoot back. A-2D Skyraider and those who flew them took an enormous toll in Vietnam. Against similarly il-equipped guerrilla fighters armed with identical AK-47s as might be found in other soviet supplied, insurgent battles.

Ive seen the only Flying F82 Twin Mustang....

An absolutely brilliant book

Ayayää intensifies) Great fighter anyway

Great video

Very interesting.My old man who was fanatical about bi-planes & went into the RAF in 1939 & ended up on the drawing board would have loved this (if he did'nt already know about it).

Such an underrated gem of a jet. The f5 isn’t mentioned enough

They have always tracked Santa the kid just made it to where the tracking is public

you should read Dale Hanson's book, it tells you more about the double agent and a mission were enemy documents were captured proving it

OSS or SOE obtained several final French designs in 1940. As we now see before us.

Too many bad wartime Aussie lagers. What the hell!

*_I'd liked to have seen a Twin-Tailed B-17 Flying Fortress. A Single-Tailed P-38 with Merlin's instead of Allison's plus a Heater A/C combo for the pilot that was a real problem. And an All Metal Mosquito. They already made a liquid cooled Allison equipped B-17. So... Oh Yeah and a High Altitude V-1 Buzz Bomb that could fly into Bomber Formations and be detonated._*

The old joke, back in the day, was "Have you seen the new P 400? It's a P 40 with a Zero on it's tail."

he got level up in midair

de aquí copiaron los franceses sus Mirage.

Most effective weapons platform of the Second World War. By a mile. Jug was sorely and sadly missed in Korea Air cooled engine was near unkillable The Mustang was radically inferior in the strike/anti-armor/Close Air Support role

fun how fat assed warthunder players think they understand better specops specifics for support aircraft than socom itself... "it's slow and cumbersome..." yeah because MH60M it's agile and fast...

This has been rumbling for years. In 2024, most F16's are going to Ukraine. They asked the Norwegian MoD to do a study of thier defence capabilities a few years back and they did not spare any blushes. It's not only aircraft, it's the infrastructure to support the aircraft and establishment of an ADIZ (radar etc). But if we were playing top trumps, the Gripen would be the choice as its capable but also has the same radar as the Eurofighter and is completely compatible with the weapons that the Eurofighter carries (Meteor BVRAAM). Sweden after decades of being neutral has joined NATO and Ireland may end up deciding that it may have to ditch its neutrality in the future.

This is fantastic.

Sorry, never like this one.

You're right about the construction. Sometimes, aviation historians will write, "all-metal airframe," meaning the airframe is all metal but sometimes covered in fabric.

After watching various Nash, Drach, and Rex videos, plus a fair amount of reading, I have come to the conclusion that the French military R&D motto starts with "I'm not going to do what everybody thinks I'm going to do..."

The first syllable of “chinook” is “shi” not “chin” (fully /ʃɪˈnʊk/)

Vive la france 😊

Thanks for turning me on to Rowland White he IS A HOOT.

Thanks! So the development of the A-7 from the F-8 was not the first time Vought built a bomber based on a fighter.

Ed, just come across another Blackburn failure, the Blackburn Botha. Maybe a video you could do?

Does anyone know what. squadron that is on the aircraft at 5:15 and 7:27? That walking bird logo is a new one to me. Another great video Ed! I really enjoy these interim period types where the designers were trying out all kind of ideas. It was indeed a period when what is cutting edge one day is obsolete a year or two later......

Yes, very interesting Ed Thank you

Just got this book from Waterstones so looking forward to reading it.

I propose a nomenclature scheme for all these planes: Corsair, Also Corsair, Corsair Again, Still Corsair. Surely this will solve all confusion. Also, no matter how many times Ed says it, 1930s military aircraft evolution is always mind-blowing. Five years between this biplane with possible wooden skin, to Spitfires vs. BF-109s in combat.

If Vought had a nickel for every time the Navy changed their specifications AFTER the aircraft had already been designed and built, they might still be around...

George Foreman of aircraft naming.

I went to the RTAF museum 2 days ago. Fantastic. Saw the only mk1 corsair left.

In answer to your question at 4:45 of the video, I refer to the following information from Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft of 1938. Quote: “The Chance Vought V-142 Corsair is the identical export version of the SBU-2 ….. Fuselage - Welded steel structure with drop-forged fittings, covered forward from the nose to the cockpit and along the deck with metal panels and aft covered with fabric…. Wings - Wings structure is made of metal with fabric covering.“

Did anyone ever put a Griffon engine in a Mustang?

The Argentine ones were known as "Corsariazos" (big Corsairs)

Of course it wasn't the Corsairs that took down King Kong. It was beauty that killed the beast.

The airforce is going to use up all of the alphabet on the b52. Pretty sure the B52z will be the workhorse for the space force.

A rocket-launching cookie dispencer, huh? Next you gonna tell me, they had a milk-cooled machine gun. Breakfast before war is important, after all xD

Homelander + Sturmfront = Still best of Vought.
