The All Powerful Anti-Tank . . . Vespa?
In this video, I talk about the Vespa 150 TAP. An advantageous anti-tank unit developed by the French military in the 1950's. This forgotten scooter was completely new and revolutionary at the time but due to the multiple shortcomings and flaws with its design and deployment, these extraordinary machines were all but left to gather dust and to be lost to time.

The Ki-148: Japan's Forgotten Missile of WWII
มุมมอง 1.7K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I talk about the Ki-148 Guided Missile. An experimental munition developed by Japan during WW2. This forgotten air-to-surface missile was completely new and revolutionary at the time but due to Japan's multiple "setbacks" in late 1945, these extraordinary machines were all but destroyed and hidden.

The German War Crime Tank (Ersatz M10)
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I describe the somewhat controversial Ersatz M10. To the naked eye, this may seem like a obscure U.S. Army tank from WW2. But in reality, this was just a ploy from Nazi Germany to gain an unfair upper hand in battle. "Isn't it a war crime to disguise yourself as your enemy?" you might be saying. Well watch this video and you may find the answer to that question. Leave suggestions...

In this video, I will give a brief rundown of the history behind the lesser-known vehicle known as the Type 4 Ka Tsu.

Scotty Wilson was my brother. I helped him build this replica, along with others more qualified than me, from around the world. I witness his death on 6 Aug 2016, at Burns Flat, OK.
it was not jack woolams prank to wear a gorilla mask that i can find, it was what he was supposed to do to help protect the secrecy of the project making it easy to make people sound crazy if they claim to have seen it
Many Italian war machines have similar tragic stories, interesting design(s) with flawed function.
Thank u very much for new and fresh content, really valuable and helpful stuffs 💖
In 1967 HHC 1/68 Armor in Baumholder, West Germany pulled an M24 out of the base junk yard for static display guarding the barracks. I was the Battalion Maintenance wrecker operator and helped place the tank. Those of us tasked with the project were fascinated by twin Caddy engines in the old Chaffe.
3:41 The Panther’s upper glacis was between 85 and 82mm thick and was sloped at 55 degrees. The lower glacis was roughly 60mm and sloped at 55 degrees. I was a german engineer in 1945!
大戦中、アメリカは模倣ですら作れなかった。
Nice pictures. A shame the roar of that engine was drowned out by dialogue.
It's a muscle car with a tank gun. I love it.
Looks like the drone the SR-71 had. D21.
gaijin when
One of the saddest photos I’ve ever seen is of a great big pile of J21 airframes being thoughtlessly scrapped. Reminds us of why we have so few remaining P38’s. They were sexy tho hopelessly obsolete planes.
I don't like BS you obviously never been to war you talk about a tank destroyer like it's it's some picturesque romantic novel you know this is just a sanitized view of somebody who has never been there writing a nice story ,you're just a boy
can any one tell me how fast the saab flys swedish jet
Thanks for sharing. What do you mean never heard of the F7U Cutlass? This plane was built in Grand Prairie, Texas when I lived there in the late 1940s.
Simply a matter of overreach. Nothing wrong with the basic design, but the engines available simply weren't up to the task. The hydraulic system wasn't, either.
Just mentioned @jehoiakimelidoronila545, his info is just purely wrong. The Ki-201 Karyu was Japan's planned production of the Me-262 A-2. However one of the 2 submarines carrying both the Me-163 & Me-262 A-2 sank because of US Catalinas. The other only carried recollections from the crew as well as the blueprints, schematics, and eye key witnesses of what it looked like. It was also carrying the engines. Japan already knew the 262s & Kikka would have performed poorly however the Ki-200 or what was meant for the Ki-202 would be excellent for intercepting fighters, & bombers. The Kikka on the other hand was going to solely serve as a jet bomber nothing more.
My Dad was in a Chaffee , it was toward the end of the war
So many rare and Beautiful collector type Airplanes And automobiles out there! Bugatti was amazing as was Enzo Ferrari, these old guys…. Enzo Ferrari once said that a competitors automobile (the Jaguar XKE coupe) was the most beautiful car ever made. The Bugatti design has to be one of the most beautiful Aircraft ever made. Have you guys ever looked in to another Super Rare ahead of its time airplane known as the Mooney Mustang M22. This airplane warrants one of your videos !
Nice job. Quite informative, Good photo work. Like your channel, earned a sub form this old man.
2:16 - the Corsair on the left which obviously has a ‘4360, is what was dubbed the F4U-WM. Pratt and Whitney performed the conversion. Cool to see a bird cage Corsair with the Wasp Major. Vulture’s Row Aviation had the capabilities and tooling to build the world a second one.
I was at the potteries museum today and my dad turned to me and out of nowhere told me “did you know that Mitchell was a Stokey?” Why did no one tell me this before?
One of these is on display at the State Central Museum, Shillong, Meghalaya, India. It was one of the last 66 Chaffee tanks to see combat in 1971 Indo-Pakistan War and was captured by the Indian Forces.
Its fun in war thunder
I'm more interested in the griller suit anecdote than the plane.
I'm more interested in the gorilla suit than the plane.
Beautiful plane. With today’s mechanical reliability with components, if modified, this plane would be fun in the Airshow world. Perhaps with better engines. Rumor is one is being restored..
The first vehicle designated as a Main Battle Tank was the British Chieftain, entering service in the 1960. There were no MBTs in WW2, and cost of the Tank Destroyer vs. a vehicle that didn't exist for another 20 years was not an issue.
The Chaffee looks like a more modern tank that you'd see during the cold war. And it packs the punch of a Sherman? That's pretty nasty.
Ultimately, the Nakajima Kikka deviated significantly from the Me 262 in detail design and it’s impressive that a prototype was assembled and flown given the dire circumstances of Japan going into its capitulation.
I think I may have seen the Blue Angels at Pensacola in 1954.
Regarding the forward swept wing, try Google searching the HFB 320 Hansa Jet. main spar. On the Hansa the spar passed through the cabin behind the seats. In the Bugatti it probably passed through the fuselage between the engines.
My uncle had a friend that went to a grocery store once and had a discussion with a one-armed woman purchasing a watermelon whose brother drove a Chaffee in ww2.
Does anyone know why a landed F7U Cutlass seems to sit on its haunches? The F-14 Tomcat, which the Cutlass vaguely resembles, doesn't sit back on its rear end like that.
The barge you feature is NOT the ice cream barge. It is almost certainly YO-145, a Yard Oiler, pictured in San Diego Harbour in June 1943. There were three concrete reefers, built by Concrete Ship Constructors at National City. The Ice cream barge was called 'Calcium' at launch, later BRL-3072. She actually cost $1,139,075
nice video
Who hasn't heard of the cutlass? >rolleyes<
Its a scooter
What was the point of the P 61 , when the the Mosquito was more than up to the job of shooting down German aircraft , including the V 1s buzz bombs .
Great video
Even if it was a failure as a fighter it was a beautiful aircraft . Could imagine it as a larger jet version in a "what if " scenario .
As a war thunder player I will give my respects to the Soviet take Ace.
now i’m waiting for VT-1
Very well
gotta say this missile looks very advanced for its time.
550kph=344mph; 650kph=406mph
What are those ribbed things that the Japanese aircrew are wearing? Are they some sort of vest?
G'day, Life Jackets, Olde Skool. Oiled or Waxed (for waterproofing...) Canvas or Linnen Tubes, Filled with Kapok (like Raw Cotton, but slightly greasy so it's both Light, Bulky, & Water-repellant. So the Kapok fills the Tubes up, and the thus internally padded Tubes, sewn together, can be tailored into a Waistcoat - looking thing Which will float on Water for Days, weeks, sometimes Months - or until it Washes up on a Beach.

Sounds great! Thanks for the feedback and I hope the aerosans fit in well with the game
I have simulator flown SAAB J-21. And it is very comfortable to fly with. The Swedish Air Force tested it against the P-51D Mustang and Sweden's other aircraft, the J-22. The SAAB J-21 is very nimble in the turns and can go very deep in the turns and fast in the roll plane as well. The P-51D was only fast in the climb up but was poor in the turns where the gyro characteristics and wing profile of the P-51D were worse. J-21B and J-21R could be upgraded more to J-21D, E and F, and J-21R E,F model could get thinner airfoil and sawtooth wing. I've had a tree out on my farm that was a SAAB J-21 pilot at the end of the war in F-10 in ängelholm in Skåne Sweden.
That's pretty cool, both the statistics and the tree. Great to see someone remembering that pilot even to this day.
