@Louis Bettermann It was a delight to see these two war birds brought back to life also important to aviation history as other planes stood on the shoulders of Me109 & F190 to compete against them. Also, a reminder of our past which must not be forgotten for its unique ability to inspire even today's generation. Excellent program & many thanks, Slainte
I get excited any time I see an interview with Capt. Eric Brown. Awesome man. Capt Brown once landed a Vampire with no landing gear on a rubber sheet spread across an aircraft carrier. You should do something on that. My father was a fighter/test pilot and was always smuggly proud of flying over 45 different types. Capt. Brown did ten times more.
The BV 141 wasn't cancelled because of it's oddity, it was cancelled because the factory that was manufacturing them was hit and the Luftwaffe with its limited resources decided to focus on existing platforms.
Eric "Winkle" Brown, a test pilot's test pilot. No person in history has flown more types of aircraft. An authority on both German and Soviet aircraft based entirely on his first hand experience.
Agreed! Hopefully in the near future, together with our friend and producer from Quantafilms, we will be able to publish rare interviews that have never been seen and also some priceless ones with Frank Whittle that are still in 16mm format. It's like a treasure hunt :)
The BV-141 was NOT a problem looking for a solution, it was a solution looking for a problem. it was a good aircraft, it was just unusual and deemed too unconventional, it flew well and it had incredible visibility, which makes it useful it just was as useful as what eventually took the spot it was trying to fit in.
But!. Look at this in the 21's century, it is still a viable platform!. The real question is money!. If someone has the will and the money, platforms like this might have a place in the Sun again?.
it also used the same engine as the FW190, and the RLM could not justify reducing the production of a much-needed fighter to allow for an observation platform, regardless of its merits - BV141 was not cancelled for being unusual (look at some of the other pipe-dreams the Nazis threw money at), but for sensible economic reasons.
It was just so amazing to hear these veterans speak and tell us the stories. I have been a fan of WWII aircraft since I was a kid I loved finding out about some of the planes that I have never heard about before...
What was your source for the historic footage? Do you use an archive service or ferret the footage out yourselves from govt libraries? Much of it I've never seen before and I've seen a lot of WWII air war stuff.
German aviation technology influenced all Air Forces to this day. It’s remarkably how the German science could excel in the middle of a war with shortages of everything.
Just a small criticism concerning the 141...you got your port and starboard mixed up: Port wine is red, the port navigation light is red. The word "left" has four letters in it, as does the word "port."
Why are you spinning the background? (3:40, Eric Brown speaking) Does spinning the background round and round add something? If it did I certainly missed what it was, it only had me wondering why it was spinning. wondering what is was illustrating..
Why didn't the video delve into "possibly the best military transport of the era" . Which was the Arado 232 "B" model. Built with 4 Bramo 323 motors and had larger wings. Only 10 built, according to Wikipedia. But video completely ignores it and switches subject.
Hey, vorsprung durch technik, remember? If the powers in Germany in the second world war used all the amazing advances in technology wisely, history would be so completely different. Opting to use the Me-262 as a fighter-bomber was a catastrophic decision. Look at the Tiger one, a tank that totally outclassed any allied effort, but was so complicated as to be hopelessly unreliable. Look at the MG-42, the best machine gun in the war, so good in fact, its still used, and chosen today, only with a few minor modifications. Yes, history is a fickle thing, hey, maybe in a parallel universe.................NIGHTMARE!
Good point. But at the end of the day the U.S. alone had at least 10 times the production capacity of Germany…including Austria and other territorial additions.
Germany lost the war when they lost the caucus oil fields and failed to conquer Russia. No oil no hope. Neither the 252 nor the Tiger or any of the other amazing developments they made would have won them the war.
When you manufacture over 400 planes, you lose the capacity to build the fighters and bombers that are effective and successful. But here is the real problem. Germany did not have an effective four engine bomber that could destroy the Soviet heavy armament factories that out produced them in tanks, artillery, rockets, planes, and ammunition. Stalin famously said something to the effect that "Quantity is the quality that is the most effective in War". The reason for this is that German plane builder Heinckel was commissioned to come up with this but Hitler ordered him to produce such a bomber that could dive bomb like a Stuka. But this was impossible as the stress on the wings and the engines would have destroyed the plane in mid flight and so, none could be produced.
Very nice place, but the engine was still extremely unreliable even after years of development. By the way, this is a fascination story about the jet engine. It includes an interview with Von Ohain, the father of the German jet engine and the one responsible for the 1st flight (but not the inventor): th-cam.com/video/G0T4-XG612Q/w-d-xo.html If you have not watched it, I think you will like it.
Pft you were just lucky hitler sent almost all his forces to russia, uk was losing everywhere you lost the battle of france,you lost in the balkans,in the pacific the japs wasted you ,also you were losing in norafrika
@ the exploding 234s engine: no sabotage was necessary, the quality of the metal used was that bad, that you had to adjust throttle very very cautious otherwise the engine would explode, even it’s was a completely new one.
What a fantastic program, I have thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! Thanks so much! Eric was such a lucky man, he got to fly so many amazing aircraft, and he is so cool. Heres to you Richard Voght, and to Willie Messerschmitt, Hanz Von Ohain... and many others All those amazing German Scientists and Engineers. And Germany is still the engineering and scientific Capital of Europe! It is such a shame that the empires of Britain, France, and Russia had to gang up on Germany and the Austro Hungarian Empires.....here we are in 2023 and Germany id the Economic Power of Europe! Imagine if we had set up an EU and a NATO before WW1, along with a Free Trade Agreement that encompassed the British, German, French Empires and colonies into a Free Trade Agreement wrapped up in a NATO like defense Agreement! If Russia behaved its self it might have been asked to join! Obviously Spain and Portugal would also be invited to join along with Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina. Japan, Korea, and Japan would be encouraged to have their own hemisphere but also invited to join the Real UN.
The british were too skittish and weak ,while the americans never thought they will be involved in any war .Germany was a techo explorer ,bold and pragmatic .Hitler was a mad man and destroyed this technological edge that Germany had that would have pushed Germany to be in the Number one spot in development and economic development
As for the jet (engine), they did not. Nobody really had much use of the German jet turbojets. The finish had been working all along on both axial, and centrifugal solutions, and gave a centrifugal turbojet to their ally, the United States, as early as 1941. If anything, the Germans followed the British lead when it comes to turbojets. As for everything else, what would you have done? The phone you are using originally comes from an Italian (living in the U.S.), and most electronics you use in your daily life exist in this state thanks to Silicon Valley, which is not in Germany. You have electricity thanks to Edison, and Tesla, and they did not live in Germany either, but Germans surely used that electricity to advance their research. On the other hand we are also lucky to have free speech. I doubt Nazi Germany would have allowed social platforms, or Internet, don’t you think?
Hanna Reitsch, Possibly the best aviator in history...why isn't she better known? why was he born in defeated country, He set many height and speed records, some of which are still unbroken.
Este avión el B&V 141 de reconocimiento se fabricaron menos de 100 aparatos y se usó exclusivamente en el frente oriental. Su fracaso fué debido a usar un motor falto de potencia.
One has to admire (w/o the evil or sadism) the ingenuity of the German engineers. These designs would fit right in on a 2024 reboot of Star Wars. But that was the problem in wartime, these fanciful designs were often solutions to problems that didn't exist. Ultimately the superior engineering pieces of the Germans were (thankfully) beat by simple Shermans, T-34s, Garand rifles and mass produced P-47, 51, B-17 and 24 aircraft.
What utter nonsense. Germany did not produce superior aircraft. They were early out but all their aircraft bar Me 262 were all outclassed by allied aircraft. Germany produced unreliable niche aircraft that performed top of class within the niche but were decent at best outside of it, when they were servicable.
They produced many extremely good aircraft but were unable to rest or replace the pilots. In mid-war onward they had similar issues to the Japanese, aging, but still capable, aircraft, but very little capacity to make more and even less capacity to produce men to fly them and get the best use. In part due to simple lack of fuel to permit much flight time, but also because they didn't have instructors who had been in combat and survived - their best pilots kept flying sorties until the last day or until they died,nand their knowledge usually died with them.
One guy contributed.mit takes a lot that one individual, including brave astronauts, and an fleet of you g engineers. By the way, you should check the average age of NASA back the . Amazingly young
germany lacked useful turbo supercharger and good unmanned turrets also radars and aiming was behind allies... not really better aircraft that allies had.
Italians have lived 100s of years listening to names such as Michelangelo being pronounced in the most ludicrous ways. Perhaps after all these centuries they got used to it.

Capt. Brown is something special & so is your Dad ❤️
Any conversation with Eric Brown is worth watching.
My nephew loved this as he made an airfix kit of the blom & voss bv 141. He said he was amazed it was ever built, let alone fly.
The BV 141 wasn't cancelled because of it's oddity, it was cancelled because the factory that was manufacturing them was hit and the Luftwaffe with its limited resources decided to focus on existing platforms.
They didn't say oddity. They said unconventional. Which is what explained for no reason lol. But what u think bout rest of the film?

Germany gave a green light to crackpots.
That’s literally the story for every nazi aircraft, kinda sad the best planes in the world were made by the most horrendous government

The FW189 was a much better and importantly versatile design
But!. Look at this in the 21's century, it is still a viable platform!. The real question is money!. If someone has the will and the money, platforms like this might have a place in the Sun again?.
Although it a twin engine, I wonder if the Rutan Model 202 Boomerang was inspired by the BV-141.
it also used the same engine as the FW190, and the RLM could not justify reducing the production of a much-needed fighter to allow for an observation platform, regardless of its merits - BV141 was not cancelled for being unusual (look at some of the other pipe-dreams the Nazis threw money at), but for sensible economic reasons.
For me , most beautiful of german aircraft of WWII was the Dornier Do- 335. nothing else to be said.
The Arado 234 , for me one of the beautiest dynamicst Plane of WW II 😍
It was just so amazing to hear these veterans speak and tell us the stories. I have been a fan of WWII aircraft since I was a kid I loved finding out about some of the planes that I have never heard about before...

Damn, Arado produced some SLICK aircraft!
On he other hand, it took a skilled crew ½ an hour to replace a jet engine, even in the field.

Most interesting. No telling what aircraft innovations Germany could have come up if they hadn't been fighting a war.
War tends to drive and accelerate technological innovation.

Excellent job with the subs.
Why did we miss this on "Secret Weapons Over Normandy" and "Blazing Angels 2"?
T-33, Fouga-Magister and F-104 also had large wing-tip tanks.
"Focke-Wulf" would be a great name for a heavy metal band.

A Germán Trans Punk band would be cool for that.
As would BlitzKrieg
