wood1155 What!? Are you preposing they will drink coffee!? Disgrace!

Kittenstomper indeed

What's the rest? I only know Battle of Britain, Dark Blue World, and Riders in the Sky (I haven't finished that one, though)

633 squadron

Mosquito Squadron, Reach for the Sky (About Douglas Bader)...

I never knew there was a film about Douglas Bader, I'll add it to the list!

recent?

Alex Ravn is on bo's channel, i think

Tim Ulbrich yupp, in Bo’s channel

Decals don't hurt anyhing. Influx of unbalanced new aircraft does. April fools day with Camels, SE.5's, and others would be nice, though.

Smigol Time! I honestly wouldn’t mind more British decals.

April fools are gonna be modern jets.

Air Balloons don't count

IdiotsAndASmartGuy Probably part of a wider video on Naval Aviation

😂😂😂

Thank you for your service!

Alexander Howlett The video with infos on the Ind. Force is the same as the Trenchard one. I just didnt know that YT would only link the same video once when I made it.

razzking Rise of Flight

Thank you. I've been waiting for a modern WWI flight sim ever since The Red Baron stopped working in windows

It was a particular shade of fat used in the Navy for dealing with infestations of crabs amongst the seamen, hence the name Crabs or Crabfat used for the RAF

Mack Rosenbury Rise of Flight.

Servizio Aeronautico (Italy), founded in 1884

High is high, doesn't matter if thanks to an Albatros D.III or heroin.

Václav Fejt well, at least he was an ace doing both. He could have also been a ball turret gunner, but that would limit the bombload snd range

Fatso obviously came only for the birthday cake

Best idea with the many great Aircraft carriers having dozens of planes.

same in Britain, think the Army just has Helicopters

Samuel McKittrick the material and colour was made in the UK to be shipped to Russia which would then be made into uniforms but following the revolution the material was surplus and so was brought up cheap by RAF personnel. The colour changed a few years later.

probably Felixstowe F.2a

After doing a bit of research, answers came naturally : the RAF was the first independant air force in history, but not the oldest air force in general, since the French had created their air force in 1910. The Air Battalion was the first British air force, created one year later, in 1911.

Euan Cormack it’s doesn’t matter wether you win by an inch or a mile ... winnings winning.

But Finland's airforce wasn't a force...no action and small, too small to brag about. You can call it what you like but Finland's airforce was as powerful, useful, as the airmail.

@@Jakemeehoff with that logic currently Côte d'Ivoire. doesn't have airforce since it has 1 helicopter (Mil Mi-24). NOTE: it used to have bigger airforce. until it had small conflict with france in 2004. but that's not the point

also keep it up on the great content

he said 1916

Oldest *independent* air force, i.e. separate from the army and navy.

Yes, the creation of the RAF was a mistake that was rammed through for political reasons that had nothing to do with military necessity. The RNAS was totally destroyed by this process and every single RNAS squadron (except No. 16) was disbanded after the war.

Um, no. It is true the air support and maritime was largely ignored early on but neither of those kinds of aircraft would have saved the U.K. in the Battle of Britain, and later in the war the RAF produced some of the best strike aircraft and one of the best ground co-operation networks of any nation. The AAC deals almost solely with rotary wing assets that are not designed to control and exploit the air - the principle missions of the RAF. The FAA too became a top quality service in the late and post war, only hampered in recent years by the lack of carriers.

Tom Bravo I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Rotary wing assets in WW2? The RFC did just fine at producing air control during the First World War. There certainly was no lack of carriers in the Royal Navy at the start of the war (Furious, Glorious, Courageous, Eagle, Hermes, Ark Royal), but there was a lack of adequate carrier aircraft because the FAA got second fiddle to the RAF. The Battle of Britain being of any strategic importance at all (other than as a futile Axis blunder)? The RAF did however totally marginalize Coastal Command which produced disastrous results in the Battle of the Atlantic, as of course the RAF preferred to spend resources on the criminal strategic bombing of civilian cities.

It took 50 Liberator bombers to close the Atlantic gap if even 10% of the aircraft like Short Stirling's, Blenheim's, Wellingtons etc that were wasted over Europe had been reassigned to costal command the Battle of Atlantic would have been over in 1940/41. And considering what the FAA were able to do at Taranto a fully equipped FAA would have swept the Med clear of the Italians and thus been able to commit a decent force to the Pacific theatre at the beginning of the Pacific War probably preventing the loss of Malaya and the Dutch East Indies and preventing the Japanese from going anywhere due to lack of fuel and that is not even mentioning the thousands of fighters lost in the Rhubarb raids over France if they had been sent to the Desert or the Pacific WW2 would probably been over in 1943-44.

The Stirling would have been ideal for coastal command and they were repeatedly rebuffed in asking for it had even greater range and bomb load than the liberator (and other 4 engine bombers but due to the design of the bomb bay couldn't house the larger bombs but in ASW more smaller devices are a better option anyway as well as in the ASW role the inferior maximum altitude compared to the Lancaster and Halifax wouldn't have been an issue anyway not only that but being bigger it could fit more search equipment (something proven in 1943 when after being withdrawn from bomber command it was used very successfully to mine German ports and for electronic warfare) in it making a aircraft available in late 1940 early 41 with no to dissimilar characteristics of the very successful post war Avro-Shackleton

I had always been told, and learned from personnel at Upavon that the R.A.F blue uniform came from a requirement to be different from the uniforms of other services, they then used Crab Fat to dye the army uniforms blue (earning them the nickname “crabby” which is still used to this day)

I was wondering if he would mention the FAF. Hyvä me.
