What a fantastic channel and very educational. I have found out all sorts of things about WW2 aircraft I had no clue about. Not exactly WW2, but his latest one on the Bearcat was a real eye opener. In more ways than one. I always thought it was a fast fighter, but since watching his video I now realise that all came at quite a cost. Its no mere chance that Corsair production finished 3 years after Bearcat production finished - yet it was of earlier design and conception. How? It was a much better all round fighter thats how. Live and learn. :bow:

Also a fan-but I think one needs to be enthusiastic and willing to learn!
The Corsair was used in the Korean conflict-the Bearcat not so much.
Which reminds me, read "Devotion" in which the Corsair and Bearcat feature.

I started with his series on the P47, which has been one of my favourite US fighters since I was a kid. Mainly due to a magazine I got in the 70s called "Wings" that came out every week and was built up to be (pre internet) a multi volume aviation encyclopeadia beyond comparison. There was a big article on "Gabby" Gabreski and his love of the P47 and desire to keep it after most had changed to the P51. I know that Greg in his channel makes quite a point that the hard graft of wearing down the Luftwaffe home daylight defence was mostly done by P38 and P47 pilots in 42 and 43 and early 44.

Don't mind him but Ed Nash's Military matters I think is better IMO, Mega Projects has quiet a bit of aviation content as well.
