Stop saying misfits.

Very good presentation but you did get somethings incorrect, for one Pappy didnt get off a boat, he arrived back in the states via airplane

I discovered VMF-214 due to Them being referenced by a premium Plane in War Thunder Interesting choice for a Famous Pilot who’s definitely not as Famous as some other Great pilots from the Pacific theater Good work

What a beautiful brute of an aircraft.... Thank you for this interesting presentation highlighting it's history.... Roger... Pembrokeshire UK

I have read countless books on WW1 flying and have yet to come across a reference to "20 minute club". Can someone quote a reliable source and I don't mean Blackadder goes Fourth!

Wood and wire

In 1983 I started working for a new start-up company in Silicon Valley. The company was less than one years old when I joined. The CEO of the company was General Johnny Johnson, and at the age of 18 years old he was piloting a B17 over Berlin. I asked him once if he had ever seen an ME-262, and he said that there was one time, in 1944, when something went through his formation going a lot faster than it should have been going. He was quite a guy, and in his company speeches he would sprinkle in tidbits like "The flak gets thicker as you get closer to the target" in reference to the opposition our company was facing trying to go public. I was very sad when he retired and was replaced, I never appreciated the other CEOs we had as much as I appreciated him.

These was an interesting story of the young British Ace Albert Ball. He disappeared over German lines on his last flight. Germans saw a plane crash on fire and the sight was investigated, Albert had no wounds and his aircraft had no bullet holes, making it look like an accident. However the Germans tried to give Manfred von Richthofen the "kill", but he was on leave. So the kill was given to his brother Lothar. Just goes to show what turds the Germans were and you have to wonder how many of Richthofen's score were real.

freezing temps, operating at altitudes where (today) O2 is required...castor oil from the exhaust causing many bouts of diarrhea...standing on the rudder pedal to compensate for engine torque. Fun stuff! Good Vid thanks.

Kind of like being a race driver in the 50s. Yeah, you probably weren't going to have a long career, but it would be dramatic, and you'd get a lot of "attention" before you got snuffed.

Incredibly brave men, knowing how the odds were stacked against them, they still got into their planes....All sides... Thank you for another informative presentation... Roger.... Pembrokeshire UK

Yea! They were killed alright!

Example of fighter pilot given was not a fighter pilot but a person that pretends to be one, occasionally. The astronauts had to return all gifts given them. They were not allowed to profit from the excursion. Shepard also worked for a beer company. Unsure of his title but CEO's don't wear "blue collar" shirts with the company logo on them. As seen in "Moonshot".

Sounds better than the Apollo gang, $33 for travel expense from Moon. Rare Ones that died before average 76 years. Grissom wife had to fight to get some compensations, shun to sue Nasa. They all left fast NASA, Neil lingered some. Apollo 8 > 90's.

Superb presentation. Just a note, on the B17F flown by the Bloody Hundreth the ball turret wasn't retractable

Good review. And thanks for the stock photo of Prince William’s crime scene unit.

The thorpe Abbott's museum is well worth a look in Norfolk.

If you don’t shed a tear when the citation is read then idk

Although I never met him, as he was before my time, I’m proud for him to be my 3rd or 4th cousin… I’m actually not really sure how he’s actually related to me but nonetheless! I always make sure to pass by his plaques when I visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola with my grandparents and brother. Came across this video while trying to learn more about him, cool to know he was more awesome than I thought!

I love finding videos like this pop up, He was my great Uncle!

To the marine corps. ...... Yes dear.

the camera on the ET during the launch was added after 107 because of the Columbia Disaster, so they could monitor the form-shedding

Was at the 100th airbase last week. It can still be visited in Norfolk, got a little and very good museum there.

The Atlantis close call was the result from a piece of the SRB hitting the orbiter, NOT foam from external tank. That said NASA knew the risk but became complacent just like they became complacent with Challenger despite knowing the issue with the o-rings.

Gill are you a vet?

Just found your channel, high quality stuff!! Instantly subscribed. Theres a ton of AI narrated videos now and I cant stand it. Thanks for the effort on these.

I understand that while it appeared to the mission commander on Atlantis that NASA was downplaying the potential impacts of the damage received, he was less sanguine about their fate. He had apparently prepared a short speech of some choice words that he was going to get over the radio as a last call in the event that the shuttle did show signs of breaking up on re-entry. Thankfully, the speech was never needed.

Another informative and interesting presentation....Thank you..Roger..Pembrokeshire UK

Very nice cool video- cool that his name on a ship .

Mig 31s use turbo jets opposed to our turbofans which are extremely quiet and its compressor pulles in more air by far per volume than any jet !

All I can say is Goddamn right!

Thank you for another informative presentation...I was 4 when this occurred, later I learnt my parents worried greatly through this period for for fear of Nuclear proliferation...Such was the Global awareness...Roger..Pembrokeshire UK

It occurred to me during this (excellent) narration of Teddy Jr’s actions on Omaha Beach that he must have made himself the most obvious target to enemy fire while directing the landing craft. It was a predetermined suicide mission for him. That had to been disheartening for any of the enemy who witnessed this

Good video

He could have taken the easy road but didn't. Very admiral!

Out of all the gold depository vaults and banks in the world how could this one be the most guarded?

Amazing Man... Amazing story... Thank you for your efforts... Roger.. Pembrokeshire UK

I just read his book, it’s a fascinating read!

Oooops! You mean the son of a WW1 pursuit pilot.

My Father in Law was in the 4th Division and landed on Utah Beach, June 6th, 1944.
