Hey all,
Here is your early access to an upcoming episode. In this video I take a look at a Statement sent by Willy Messerschmitt to the Luftwaffe about his reservations about (or rather opposition to) the production of the Heinkel He 162.
There is no scheduled release on this episode yet as it is one of three v...
Hey all,
Here is your early access to the next Inside The Cockpit. This one is on the Dornier Do-31, a very special aircraft. As a prototype VTOL aircraft, it is close to unique.
Sadly, as mentioned in a previous post, the filming of this aircraft did not go as planned. I had to make some heavy adjustments and ...
Hey all,
I interrupt regular service for an update to an older video from April this year. Back then, it was 'announced' that Germany wanted to buy Super Hornets. Of course, nothing had been decided back then, since the political and bu...
Hey all,
Here is your Early Access to an upcoming Episode on the P-40 N-15 / Kittyhawk IV found at the RAF Museum.

Hey all,
One of the next "Inside-The-Cockpit's" will be this beauty - the Dornier Do-31, a purpose built S/VTOL transport jet! It was build during the Cold War when VTOL capabilities first started to appear together with the VAK-191B that already featured on the channel. It was hoped that a VTOL capab...
Hey all,
And now for something completely different. One of the things I often talk about with friends, colleauges or when on location, is how 'we' engage with history through popular products like Movies, Videogames, books, comics, music and more.
Of course, many of these projects get criticised about hi...
Hey all,
Here is a little compilation of some of the planes I filmed last and this week at the RAF Museum London.
As except for the Buccaneer I wasn't able to get a view into the cockpits (conservation and Covid-19 restrictions), these videos will be made into detailed walkarounds.
All the best and thank y...
Hey all,
In this video I have a look at a summary from the Luftwaffe on comparison flights between German Bf 109s and Fw 190, against four different Italian machines. The German's even identify a favourite - but which one is it?
Big thank you to all of you who allow me to understake the research trips th...
Hey all,
Third round of book purchases from your support. This time I 'accidently' ended up in a store and left with three bags full of books.
Thank you very much!

Hey all,
Little video update on last weeks trip to the RAF Museum. In total I filmed the following aircraft (external only, cockpits are closed due to Covid-19 and conservation reasons):

Hey all,
Here is your early access to the next episode - and it's a big one. In it, I explain why the Luftwaffe did not, at the start of the war, have a long-range bomber.
As always I hope you enjoy, I look forward to your comments and thank you for the support!
Chris
Hey all,
Here is your early access to the next video. This one is a heavy one, since it deals with Luftwaffe War Crimes during World War 2. The aim is to present an overview of the topic and not an indepth study.
Thank you for the support,
Chris
Hey all,
Two days ago news appeared that USAF seems to have flown a new prototype for their New Generation Air Dominance program (NGAD). While it is unlikely that this new aircraft has seen any substantional development, it is an interesting development within the NGAD program that parts of the USAF and Acquisition offi...

Hey all,
Here is your early access to the next episode. In this video I talk about Radar during the Battle of Britain and whether the Luftwaffe should have taken it out. While reading up on this, I also noticed that very little has been written specifically on Chain Home during the Battle of Britain except for summaries...

Hey all,
Here is your early access to an upcoming episode - this is an advanced copy and might still see some changes.
This was filmed end of Summer 2019 and was meant to be published in Spring/Summer of this year. However, do to Covid I have withheld from releasing it just yet. The reason is that the owner does...

Later today MHV and I will release a video we shot back in January 2020. We talk about some of our experiences with YouTube and how this has influenced the presentation of our videos (Titles/ Thumbnails).
On YouTube, the initial view gain is very important. A videos success is based largely on the amount ...
