Sweet lines.

Excellent as always.

Thankyou I enjoyed that

Never heard of this aircraft. Thank you!

Looks like if it came a little earlier it would of been a very useful aircraft. Thankyou for sharing it is always a pleasure to hear your great research.

Sure looks like a copy of the Curtiss Commando, C-46/R5D. But more sesats in the cockpit, and a tailgun. OBTW, IJA aircraft were designated by the katakana letter Ki, [one cypher] that's pronounced KEE. It's short for the word for airframe.

Another great video.

Another excellent video and the picture of the C-46 had me baffled. The landing gear is the style of a DC-3, which the C-46 didn't have. After some searching I find the prototype had this style and originally twin rudders. Your C-46 is a very unique photo.

Another what if

Turbo charged engines...solid.

Yet another good looking, what might have been, Japanese aircraft!

...ALWAYS INTERESTING THINGS ON THIS CHANNEL...👍

Most airdrop missions ended in disaster

So many people think that after D-Day it was all over, bar the shouting. These historical films remind me of "All Our Yesterdays" - a programme I was too young to appreciate at the time.

This film shows the glider operations which were impressive but unfortunately many were lost and those that managed to land usually had some casualties from the robust landings which even Ryanair could not match. This film is a reminder of the immense bravely and determination so many years ago to hold onto the freedom we take for granted today.

...GREAT VIDEO AND HISTORY LESSON...THANX !

I never realised just how important those gliders were, or the variety of planes used to tow them. Thanks! Edit: My respects to your Dad.

Looks like your Dad was one hellava a guy. May he rest in peace.

always hilarious, how long they clung to open cockpits... masochism? or machismo?

his designs remind a bit of Burnelli ....anybody agree?

Thank you very much for your research and great, informative video presentation. I'm learning about aircraft & the pivotal pre-and-post war years of the industry I'd otherwise have no clue about.

Whether it's aircraft or cars the French always have a unique style. They seem to go their own way. Is it because they want to prove that the French way is the right way?

What an odd, dinky little seaplane. Would be perfect for an island hopping executive transport and/or picking up 'downed' pilots from the local air force base in the Caribbean. In a murder mystery story. Or dropping off ghosts, in a combat spy story.

very interesting. The German ( Nazi ) transport aircraft way of war came to an end when the allies managed to cut the air link from Sicily to Tunisia. It was one of the Luftwaffe's Trafalgars. My grandfather flew ju-52s and other medium bombers. he also bombed the UK , was stationed in Vienna and the South of France, evacuated the wounded out of Stalingrad and flew a General to the Wolfschanze as his personal pilot.

It doesn't help when a plane desintegrates on a promotional flight.

Best get your affairs in order, the language cops have been informed and dispatched! 😂

Two big wings forward, Two small wings rear, A rudder, Two engines one on each side. Landing gear where you expect it. Only French oddity is the cockpit. This can't French. A real French plane ought to look like a painting by Salvador Dali.

Absolutely new one on me. Guessed on sight it was to the same spec as the Barracuda...but this thing makes the Barra look sleek! Variable incidence wing, that early, is fascinating, though.

the late, lamented Insp Clouseau forgives you.

Again, a superb account of an obscure aircraft type. Thankyou

A fantastic job presenting little known aircraft. As you were describing it I could easily see with no surprise that it was not going work out for the French. It seemed to be like something designed in the 30s with underpowered engines and not much ability for the mission. The French certainly did better getting the Skyraider.

I think you owe the lady a coffee. She did quite well. ;-)

I wonder if this one inspired the Edgley Optica?
