What I found really strange is that during training there is no 'encouragement' via bullying,shouting,swearing etc.These guys are already fully motivated and prepared to die in the service of The Queen. Guys who don't make it into basic training would frequently take their own lives rather than return to their villages.
It's just a crying shame that their regiments were disbanded.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Unfortunately you never know when the accounts are going to be terminated. I have seen videos available for years and then "poof" the whole channel is gone. Almost always someone else has uploaded it so there is a constant Whack-A-Mole contest going on at YouTube.
Come to Canada Jim, specifically Vancouver Is where the Mars is.

Tells the story, in 6 parts, from 1933 on. I watch alot of these and I´ve only seen mebbe 5% of the footage before. I´m halfway through the second episode and I find it fascinating. It tells it like it was. No fancy music or rhetoric.
Warning: Right from the off it´s quite gruesome in places.

Thanks for that link.I must either have missed this series or it is one I have forgotten after watching so many of them.
Here is one about the 101st airborne division in WW II (again somehow Major Dick Winters is in it!):
This educational video depicts the United States Rockwell B-1 Lancer, a four-engine supersonic variable-sweep wing, jet-powered heavy strategic aircraft used by the USAF. It was first envisioned in the 1960s as a supersonic aircraft with Mach 2 speed, and sufficient range and payload to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. It was developed into the B-1B, primarily a low-level penetration aircraft with long range and Mach 1.25 speed capability at high altitude. It is commonly called the "Bone" (originally from "B-One").
