It’s crazy the Germans didn’t make more Condors, I wonder if it was because they didn’t have the materials.

A great documentary about a pilot's pilot.

😊P

By the end of 42 the Germans should have stopped producing the ME 1O9. It would have been extremely difficult for a new pilot to take off and land due to the way the landing gear was

​Gemany didn't have the aluminum to mass produce four engine bombers. If Germany had, Germany might have won.

Quite the consummate gentleman and expert airman, indeed.

But not this video because nothing special about the ME 109 .Mr Browns name is misused as a simple clickbait And the interview with Mr Brown could be seen more detailed on YT So sorry thumb down for annoying content.

Eric Brow is the exception the adage’There are bold pilots and there are old pilots but very few who are are both’… he is one of those few…

100% one of the most interesting men of that generation.

@@johnpalmer5131 Eddie Rickenbacker. Charles Lindberg. Jimmy Doolittle... This is a really long list. In fact, it includes almost every pilot anyone has ever heard of.

👍👍

Isn't that sopwith

@Leopardl..Must agree..the real article, alright 👍

Yes he was…….love from the RNZAF….and all the New Zealand/Kiwi pilots for the RAF in WW2!

Amazing man and a life well worth celebrating.

I AGREE, WHAT A LUCID WELL ORGANISED GENIUS, I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF HIS WELL DOCUMENTED ACCOUNT OF SUCH A SUCCESSFUL AIRMAN.

👍👍

Well said. Here is a playlist with his interviews, including his biography: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html Just in case you missed any.

and now they are BOTH wiped out by migrants flooding in.

Eric Brown was one of the greatest test pilots, if not the greatest of all, that ever lived. You might enjoy some of his other videos. Here is a playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

Thank you

@@Dronescapes Yes, I rarely watch videos this long, you kept me interested, despite the odd bookends!

Same in ussr was and now many Russians kamrados very interested about Germany WW2 era very interested very 😊😊😅😅😮😢🎉😂😂❤

Well said... Eric is on The Mount Rushmore of Test Pilots.

We are still wurking alongside Germany. Our recent space project is ongoing. Sophie prevails.

In college in the 70s we told that it was essential to learn German as most of the scientific research papers were in German.

If sewing peoples heads together while they were still alive is "research" sure... If you want REAL aeronautical reaearch at a world class level. The NACA reports from 1920-1960 qualify. If you go down that rabbit hole, you find nuclear powered cruise missiles with a MMO of Mach 3.0 at sea level and a range of 15 years and unlimited miles. Whichever occurs first. They decided if they ever uaed it against the Russians, the US would be considered the villain. It also produced excessive radiation. So they canceled the project.

He loved aviation. He also has harsh words for Germany in other interviews. Did you know that he also got to interrogate Göring? He traded a German captured aircraft that the Americans wanted, for the opportunity of interrogating him. You should watch his biography, it is very interesting: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

I assume a lot of them often know a lot. Some are truly knowledgeable. There is always something to learn from the community. Thank you for the kind comment

The thing it REALLY shows is how pedantic people can be. Its a common title format not a statement on intelligence.

You have saved me a lot of typing. There are more things I didn’t know in this video than all of the “nobody knows” videos put together.

You can always try!

Thank you David. His name is Eric Brown, the test pilot that flew most different aircraft in history. Here is a playlist with his video, including his unmissable biography: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

Actually the very first prototype 109's were fitted with Rolls Royce Kestrel engines as the inverted DB engine were not ready yet.

@@sadisticmaster46 True. However, this doesn't alter the fact that the vast majority of 109s had the inverted V. Or that the first plane shown in the video isn't a 109.

​@@sadisticmaster46 And the first inverted V-engines installed in a BF-109 were actually Jumo's, not DB's.

Great observation!

Did you watch his wonderful biography? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

@DroneScapes no I haven't, thanks for the recommendation

You are welcome John, I am quite sure you will be impressed by his stories, including the time he interrogated someone very powerful

Thanks to him, and others like him in the fight against communism. May their glory be a testament for us,to carry on.

Thank you

Ed, Eric "Winkle" Brown is the test pilot that flew most different aircraft in history, close to 500 and not including variations! Actually Chuck Yeager never liked Eric Brown, perhaps because he went around saying that just before the scheduled Miles M.52 test flight (we the aircraft being 92% ready), ready to break the sound barrier well ahead of Chuck Yeager, the test and the entire program were inexplicably cancelled, despite a scale model flight breaking the sound barrier later. Eric Brown always maintained that Bell also used Miles research they had full access to, to solve/fix the Bell X-1 problems. In short he implied that the US robbed the UK of a record breaking flight, but also that they used their research to accomplish theirs. Given the G.E. (General Electric) received the first turbojet in the world from Britain in 1941 (yes the invention was British, and the first flight was Germany's), and that the first US jet engine to fly in the US in 1941 was British, with the Bell XP-59 in 1942, you can vaguely see how things were going. You can argue that it was a very small price to pay, given that the US literally saved the Empire from Nazi Germany.. If you are interested, there is a WONDERFUL documentary about Whittle: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZaEZ5CJrJyVYoU.html It is made by the same producer and dear friend that interviewed Eric Brown. We also have more videos with Eric Brown, here is a playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html We also have a short biography on Chuck Yeager: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nclpidCT0sfDo2w.html

You must be from the land of the free and the brave - USA .

Eric Brown was a special person. Do not forget that he tested almost 500 different aircraft, not including variations! It is a record that will most likely never be bettered. Here is an Eric “Winkle” Brown’s playlist, if you are interested. You should not miss his biography: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

All test pilots have the belief in themselves that it wont happen to them, because they are better. Better pilots and better at handling situations. They are universally less perceptual and theoretical and more hands on experiential. They read theory enough to gather concepts but must apply it in reality to gain understanding. Because of this, and the fact many failures and issues with prototypes are very quickly fatal there is insufficient time to learn the new knowledge before one becomes deceased. This is the comedy that is the life and death of test pilots. Blind faith in ones ability to handle what nobody has ever had to handle before, with death as the likely outcome. E.g. test flying a Komet powered by a terribly designed and poorly built rocket motor fueled with chemicals that melt human bodies into a puddle on contact. Yep, I'm gonna fly that one because its soooo fast and I'm a stud.

Very common mental problem of XXI century unicorns. For them the sense of life is to survive. Their life then will be a failure.

Thank you so much!

👍👍

I suppose he does still live on in these stories, the closest thing to immortality we can hope for.

Thank you Robert!

You cannot miss the story of one of the greatest test pilots in history. His name was Eric “Winkle” Brown, and he flew almost 500 different aircraft kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html

Miles just helped Bell with aerodynamics, that's all. Everything else is quite different.

@@Dronescapes so it doesnt have a very very similar shape ? Also helping with"just" the aerodynamics, seriously. The most challenging aspect at the time was overcoming compressibility, in other words the aerodynamics.

Very few. Eric Brown was a really amazing test pilot, and a great person.

Wow, thanks Jon!

You do know Bayerische means Bavaria, right?

No mystery here, „Bayerische Flugzeugwerke“ simply translates into „Bavarian aircraft works“, like BMW means „Bavarian Motor Works“

@@sirbader1 Not really the same. "Bavaria" (Bayern) is the name of the south-east part of Germany, "bavarian" (bayrisch/bayrische) is the leading adjective in "Bayrische Flugzeugwerke" and stated, that bavaria was the home of the company. So the "B" stands for the adjective (not the country "Bavaria") and "f" for the word "Flugzeugwerke".

And I personally think that the existence of the new aircraft carriers in the RN are a direct response to the Falkland war in 1982, which happened after the last British carrier capable of launching F-4s was removed from service. The RN was pretty badly handled by the Argentines in that conflict, but the RN stood the blows and won the fight, which says to me that the men fighting in a war are often more important than the gear they carry. The performance of the Sea Harrier against the Argentine jets still amazes me.

Many thanks Tim

Dave, this is quote normal. Most Design needs a redesign to adopt strenger and heavier weaponery. Take a look at the Spitfire.

Well, would you rather fly on a powder keg or *glide* into hundreds of B-17s and P-51s. Not to mention the recoil from 30mm cannons was likely stopping the glider dead still in mid-air

@@MDzmitry Hmm... Would I rather? No, I think I would rather not.

@@seanm8030 the best answer in this case

Practical in comparison to the alternative glider....context is important

@@CharlieNasty-cd5hu Sure. If you're interested in melting yourself with high test peroxide, the Me-163 is infinitely practical.

I assume he'd have enjoyed flying the a6m seeing as he liked the one with the plane feeling of the f86, chances are he would have liked the n1k2 and ki84 too

Our pleasure! Thank you!

The Allison powered P-38 had an exhaust driven turbo charger for the second stage that required the hot gas to be piped underneath the fuselage to the turbo on the top of the boom. I believe the P-38 was the only inline engine fighter that used a turbo charger While there are advantages to turbo vs 2 mechanically driven super chargers as found in the Merlin ,the implementation of the turbos in the P-38 had problems. The P-38 was a high drag design.because of the bulbus fuselage , the exposed turbo and all the extra cooling scoops needed. It would of been interesting if they designed a low altitude P-38 that used the Allison with dual speed single stage super charger like in the P-40 or P-39. without all the extra weight and drag from the turbo system.

Thank you so much 😀

👍🙏♥️

The great Eric Brown! You should watch his biography, it is priceless: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrmCdMeL37jdk5c.html we have many videos featuring him, and more interesting interviews coming.
