For the record, the first letter (or two for multi-mission) in the designation is for the mission type. e.g. F for Fighter, O for Observation, S for Scout, B for Bomber, etc. Multi-mission aircraft had two letters, e.g. SBD (Scout Bomber Douglas) or TBF (Torpedo Bomber Grumman).

Give me a B26 Maurader with the solid nose with 8x . 50 and the gun pack on both sides

Excellent content as ever. Thank you for all your time and effort producing it.

When you lose a dogfight to a Stuka you know it's against the Polish Air Force.

This is the first presentation concerning Polish aircraft and airmen i have heard. Thank You Brian. Best Wishes to everyone.

I wish all military would go away

How far we'd be ahead without military

Poland may not have produced many great aircraft , But they produced Many Great Airmen .

Make sometime an episode about PZL 37 Los twin engine polish bomber , who was proud of Polish Air Force. Best Regards and thank you very much for making time to do this film, and spreading the word about Polish Aviation. God bless you.

I wonder if Tim Rathbone is related to 1940's Sherlock Holmes actor Sir Basil Rathbone who was born in Johannesburg?In the Voice of Terror a ME 109 lands with a Teutonic spy in it but when seen on the ground it's actually some kind of civilian 1 or 2 seater.

What about the PZL24?

Polack air fighter

Howdy

7:55 well if Pearl Harbor is anything to judge by Germany may have been.......🍄

Great, loved it.

Love the video ❤

Very, very, interesting and entertaining. Also, no AI! Thanks for sharing. 🙈🙉🙊 😎 🇺🇸

Nonsense of usa, the winner was Stalin

Scoop this one: the JUNKERS 4,000Hp aero steam turbine. Intended for a high altitude long range superbomber.

i always wonder from which airfields did they intended to fly (and service) and with what fuel???

Great informative series. Thanks for making them. I really appreciate and enjoy your channel!

Apologies that this isn’t directly related to the He177, but I really enjoy your narration and wondered who your voice reminded me of, then I saw Capricorn One the other day and realised it was Elliott Gould - do you come from the same area in the States or is it my aero engine damaged hearing playing up again? Thanks again for your channel and excellent content 👍

Fun fact is that the endurance of the bomber was actually more than the life cycle of the engines, they would require an overhaul mid flight!

Thank you. Interesting and entertaining.

Love the rare aircraft videos.

Thank You Sir 👍

I'm very much looking forward to a video (or two!) on the YB-35 and B-36. But I hope that when you do the one on the B-36, you look at how well the original design would have performed over Europe; i.e., no jet engines and with the retractable gun turrets kept in place. And if you still have any room, maybe a video on the Junkers EF-132? Of all the Amerika Bomber proposals, it was the only one that actually kinda-sorta got built and put into service (albeit as a post-war airliner rather than a bomber).

American bombs from Germany were not intended to bomb the USA but to bomb the Soviet Union first hand and not the USA. You are completely wrong. the soviet union is closer to germany than the usa. To bomb the USA, and then fly from Germany. You count on a lot of fuel and few bombs or one bomb. So the Soviet Union is closer, more bombs and less fuel and it is closer to reach Vlauvostok in the Eastern Soviet Union. You are dead wrong, Sorrrryyyy

Why show an AI generated image of a plane that didn't exit in any form? It cheapens the entire video.

That B2 analogy is getting old. Ever since heavier than air aviation became possible, there were enthusiasts who were fascinated by the idea of making an aircraft that was "just wing", falling prey to the idea that "surely this must be the most efficient aircraft" (It isn't). The Hortens weren't the first, nor the last (but probably among the most tenacious and purist (along with Jack Northrop)). Though the Go 229 is often called Ho 229, in the Horten's counting it was the Ho 9

It's HortEn, dammit! Nothing to do with Tim's

Great research. I have a question, how many navigation lights has this plane? Where are they located? Thanks!

You can't jettison landing gear after takeoff. That's takeoff gear!

Brian, i have enjoyed this heavy aircraft series a lot. I am looking forward to the B36 episode. Thanks again for your efforts Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

The guy is obsessed with aerodynamics but adds fixed landing gear?

I would absolutely love for you to do a serious vid on the Haunebu.

I love the work! Great job, and remember the work you put out here will go a long way in preserving history for the future. ;)

Why is this thing all over the tubes right now?

Very interesting design. Only one major problem...engine reliability! No German jet engine of the time would have stood up to the rigors of flights that long. Durable engine materials had not yet been developed. 🤷‍♂

Pathetic Video = Find a New Hobby !

Interesting you mentioned time travel to see the stealth bomber. In reality the Stealth Bomber was influences by Jack Northrop who was influenced by the Horton’s. 😊

EUROPA ⚡⚡ 💀

Nice One! Fascinating and Instructive ~ Cheers

My father was a radar/radio operator in a Night Beau...told me he flew 50 missions over Germany, he seldom talked of his experiences. This revelation was when I was 30. We were fishing and catching many trout that day, He did often say that the memories of the war were tough...lost too many friends.

A German aircraft was planning to fly across the entire Atlantic ocean, bomb America and fly back with no guidance other than dead-reckoning and engines that had a time to failure between ten and fifty hours? Six engines, that tended to fail in a fall-apart-violently way. Frankly. the Allies would have been happy if it had been tried.

You say Nazi Germany all the time but you don't say Democratic USA, why not?

It's easy to spot the real Zeke in a gaggle of replicas -- the replicas have seams where the outer wings attach to the fixed inners and airframe, while the Zero has a smooth, unencumbered surface from fuselage to the hinge for tip folding. Only the tip folds, for two reasons. First, to maintain the strength of the wing, and second, to make replacement fast and easy in case of hangar rash. Until the folding tip modification, the Zeke couldn't fit the plane elevators on Japanese aircraft carriers.

I love this channel. Thank you for your work. Excellent

Seeing a formation of these things would have been a scene right out of H. G. Wells' Things to Come.

Very Cool, thank you.
