Sorry Mike. I really did try to use my own voice, and despite its very broad accent, that i really can't stand to listen to, the main issue i had was my constant flubbing of the script. I mean, in half a day I managed half a page of a 4 page script. I just don't have that time spare. Besides I really love the BBC voice of the AI from eleven labs. even if it costs $99 / month. 100% worth it for the result IMO. But i appreciate the effort you gave for some genuine feedback. Cheers. BTW how cool is the D.520? :-)
The flight characteristics always made the Dewoitine interesting. Capt Eric “Winkle” Brown Commander of the Royal Aircraft Establishment Captured Enemy Aircraft Flight said of the Dewoitine D.520 “It was a nasty little brute. Looked beautiful but didn’t fly beautifully. Once you get it on the ground, I was told not to leave the controls until it was in the hangar and the engine stopped. You could be taxiing toward the hangar and sit back when suddenly it would go in a right angle.”
A fair and good review! The French aircraft industry in the 1930’s indeed suffered from government intervention and political polarization, as well as lack of adequate engines. In comparison, during the First World War the French aircraft industry produced competitive planes like the Nieuport and SPAD, used by American pilots. The Rhone engines were also fine.
from montoglifier brothers balloon to bleriot's monoplane and much more, the french really do have a huge place in aviation history. This plane would have continued development and would have been as good as spitfire and bf109.
Thank you for covering this aircraft. It is often relegated to the back-pages of aeronautical history. Their use by the Italians & Bulgarians is an interesting bit of obscure history.
Amazing documentary Aircraft Files! This is how it should be. Great mix of historical events around the aircraft and aircraft stats and experiences. KEEP IT UP! -subscribed-
To be fair, it was just a puppet government. Led by Marshal Philippe Pétain, it governed the unoccupied "Free Zone" of southern France and French colonial territories from the town of Vichy. The regime collaborated with Nazi Germany, enforcing anti-Semitic laws and aiding in the deportation of Jews. It maintained nominal sovereignty but was heavily influenced and controlled by the Germans.
@@Aircraft_Files two different actions. Before the inve tion of the ejector seat you could only be ejected from your aircraft if it broke up in flight. Which is m9t what happened inches situation, he bailed out. Ad you know the difference, then how come you got it wrong?
I would pin it directly on my very human state of being. Forgive me, I shall wait in the corner now for my AI better to dispose of me and provide a less mistakeful channel. :-)
WHAAA? The only aircraft taking on the Bf 109E??? Where is this information coming from? The script writer needs to pick up a history book, as the D.20's were being preyed upon by 109D's during 1940. Edit: the 109E's became operational just before the BoB. This video has the look of..........revisionist history.

Big thanks to @peterasp1968 for suggesting this remarkable warbird.
don't use a robot voice use your own or don't bother with a channel

I think I recall Eric Winkle Brown saying "it was a nasty little beast to fly"..
I read the same. He said he couldent relax on the controls, even when you think you can let it taxi.
Thanks for the "markings" explanation. I never knew about the arrows

Left out inept Surrender Monkey Doctrine.proved to be ineffective.
With the cockpit that far back, ground taxi must have been a real pain. Probably had to use spotters on the wing tips.
Dude, it was a beauty!
Another plane i had no idea about. Thanks!
My pleasure. :-)

Many thanks! Its a real labour of love to be honest.
had built a replica from balsa wood & tissue paper from a 3-view found on internet. it’s a great looking aircraft. good info thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
An excellent look at what, for most people, is a relatively unknown fighter. Bravo! Well researched and nicely put together.
Thank you. A great subject for sure.
Great video! Comgrats
Thanks, very glad you enjoyed it.
How crazy the French pilots could just switch sides like that!!
So the French just swap to the winning side, whenever it changes.

An Italian pilot ejecting from his CR.42 before the invention of the ejector seat....
Well. Ejecting/bailing. You got the gist.

You like your tautologies. Postponed and paused, modern and new.
This is not funny, a bad treaty and the way that Germany treated it is tragic
Agreed. I don't think I treated the subject as humorous.
Nice one. Have you done the Gloster Gladiator yet?
Not yet! Sounds like a good candidate.
A pity the French couldn't place a engine with the quality of say the British Merlin , that worked well with the American Mustang ! ♈⚓⚓♈
Is it just me or does this kite look rather like a MiG 3? Hmm..
Due to its cockpit location methinks.

Or poor research.
If that statement indicates relative parity of capabilities, I'd be inclined to agree. Otherwise...
Sorry. Where is the part where I say only the D.520 was used by the French? I'll edit it immediately.
