Gorgeous looking craft from any angle , designed Art

great flying -- no cgi

Thank you, this was a very worthwhile presentation on an astounding little aircraft!

Wonder how well a modern steam turbine would work ?

We lost that elegance 😢

British lake maker

Off to London for tea and biscuits. 🇬🇧

Nahh im the only gen alpha here and all of you all are adults and already may have wifes and children

A b36 took one third of the total weight of brabazon in it's bombbays , think about that

Operation Paperclip, Germany has been zero since

Notice everyone dresses up to fly....and get real service! Not today....I won't fly any airline now...with TSA n all....gimme back my big smasher...

How come the video is taken from so many angels

It's not the same without "Danger Zone" playing in the background. Great video though !

Described by a Pan Am pilot as a collection of airplane parts flying in formation

AWESOME!

That answers a mystery that has baffled me for over 50 years.

タミヤにキットあったよな

The man closest to the camera as the F3F is being pushed out of the hangar is my father, Ed Lovejoy. He was the 40th employee of Grumman.

Could a Wellington tow A/C carry a small bomb load at the same time?

R100 was better

No dihedral?

was that an Air Policeman guardng.

It is my understanding that Gordon and all of his brothers were redheads.

My dad flew a converted PV2 bomber - it cought fire according to witnesses but I never heard why. Angola Mississippi was his last fight. 1963

Interestingly its maximum bomb load of 87,000 pounds is even greater than the 70,000 pound max bomb capacity of any B-52 model, and more than the B-1B with its 75,000 pound max load. The B-2 only has a 40,000 pound load max. In fact, the B-36 carried the heaviest bomb load capacity EVER.

...why the silly yank song at the end?...childishly inappropriate.💩

Some of you have commented on the drone of the engines. After watching the fly past, the deep bass sound once it passed the camera was very familiar to me. The reason is the SRN4 hovercraft which used to operate from both Ramsgate and Dover also used four proteus engines and I watched it arrive and depart from the Dover Hoverport many times (it sounded the same from behind). The Bristol Britannia aircraft also used these engines. The Princess was an amazing machine but there was no market for it.

Probably all dead now. Please may we never forget them and what they did for us.

I had the immense privilege of hearing Captain Eric Brown CBE RN talk about Udet's landing skills. To see it is something else.

Still really cool.

1:55 🤣🤣🤣

ahhh yes the dc-4e a forgotten aircraft thats also my fav aircraft

Amazing to build all that stuff and then throw it away

40 we had flying wings, 50 we had hovering ovnis, in 60 we had supersonic airplanes that flyes in space, in 70 we had stealt tech and landed in the moon, in 80's he had nothing????

Does anyone know of details on what it was like to fly the Storch during WW2, written by Storch pilots. I am writing a novel woven with actual events and real people, set in late WW2 following the adventures of a Storch pilot (fictitous). Any assistance would be well received. Info on tactics used by pilots to avoid getting shot down by faster enemy aircraft for instance.

Hitler was sponsort by wallstreet... thats the sad truth for us germans. I don't blame the jews, that suffered too a lot. The thruth has to be the truth for all humans. We are born and we die. When will the Pharaos understand?

Although obsolete and too slow and lightly armed to be of any use in the European theatre, it had a very creditable service record against the Italians and certainly proved its worth.

It gets very messy, with how all nations (though moreso the Axis and Soviets) sometimes ignored red crosses, or abused protected symbols. Unfortunate, and I believe/hope it wasn't all that common in Western Europe/North Africa, but it happened and is a tragedy.

Они поют: Мама - Путин, Путин?

i grew up in the 50's and 60's and we would build and fly control line and free flight planes. there were men who flew r/c plane and it was fun to watch and help. i grew out of it when i was old enough to have a job, get a car and have a girlfriend.

good looking airplane…

This song & lyrics are not to be confused with the Glenn Miller jam session that has no lyrics & was recorded right after Pearl Harbor. CKC

How did Mercury return home from where it had got to, without a second Maia to get it airborn?

As an immigrant to this great country Jimmy Stewart embodied my ideal of an American.

My great uncle ( Percy Glynn) who I am named after was downed there. For all I know that was him going under the water in this movie.

Where was 'Its own Power' in 1935?

Maybe I'm sick, but I like the 1930's French aircraft design aesthetics.

Looks like a fat Constllation

I wonder how many of those young men survived WW2. They would be horrified if they saw how far right the west has gone lately, but they have almost certainly gone by now. And that is how the world works, one or two generations learn from the recent past, and then it goes around again.
