How did scuttling them get around paying for them?

I didn't know about British Corsairs. Thank you!

The F4u Corsair was---according to many pilots on both sides---the best piston-engined fighter of WW2. I agree 💯. It should have been used in Europe as well.

Also the flaw of the zero, no self sealing fuel tanks and also a lighter construction than contemporary us fighters…

Awarded „most annoyingly place advertising“ definitely… dialing back my subscription

Because the Corsairs,Wildcats and Hellcats were built as fighters not as aircraft built to only intercept slow flying bombers like British carrier aircraft of the time

About 20 years ago, I was driving by the South Dayton(OHIO) airport and there was a Corsair. Nose on the ground and tail in the air. OOPS!

British engineers made US planes better, made the P-51 faster, and made the Corsairs safer. Well done Britain.

Not one Not two But THREE totally irrelevant, unskippable ads. Man-o-man... The only reason I stuck around (visiting the fridge) is that I have a particular interest in the subject. I knew the COs of the first three Corsair squadrons: VF-17, VF-12 and VOF-1. EVERY ONE OF THEM SAID THEY NEEDED NO LESSONS FROM THE BRITISH. That's because they started carrier qualifications before the RN had a chance to deploy Corsairs. Not a bad treatment, even with some peculiar pronunciation ("The on-sign eliminator!")

Thank you for explaining, simply and concisely, the reasons behind the design elements of the Corsair. Well executed video.

What a waste of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ at the end

Weren't the Wildcats in British service renamed the Martlet?

Great episode! I just briefly read about the J22 as most books about the aircraft industry I read have been about SAAB. On a side note: The order of the aircraft at 7:13 is wrong. The first are B-17 and then in the next frame B-18.

A lone bomb attack against a destroyer? Woah, that’s pretty heavy balls

Thanks! This was very interesting! I didn't know Sweden pirated the engine nor that Wänström was a spy (with possible N4zi* connections?) *Google LL Censoring!

I still remember what a documentary on the Lancaster said: “Avro’s chief designer Sir Roy Chadwick had little faith in the Vulture engine and accepted it with the greatest reluctance possible. He was however convinced that the Manchester airframe was a sound design.

Why Really Because they needed every plane they could get It was one of the best planes of the war They could land it on an aircraft carrier After a while they taught us how to do it too 🌵✌️😎🌵

DB 3 looks to be a very sturdy aeroplane

There was one in . Mareeba far north queensland

BRITISH INDUSTRY RAN FLAT OUT from 1939 onward...................... they simply DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES to design and produce a potent entirely new naval fighter for themselves.......................so they accepted Corsair fighters from the Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Corsair certainly had its virtues but its undercarriage was also considered to be a bit LIGHT and rather more easily damaged than some other navy fighters such as Bearcat and Hellcat .........................so Yankees did not mind handing over Corsairs as other aircraft became available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? So that the Americans could learn how to fly it from carriers ...

Why they did not projected the ME 262 jet fighters as a high altitude fighter interceptor? The range problems?

Hence the term “Back to the Drawing Board “ was established

"Carrier Pilot" by Norman Hanson tells the first hand story of the Corsair from a pilot's perspective. Available in print, ebook and audiobook versions.

9:48 German engineering!

I never knew they had radial engines. They must have been massive.

Regarding the Feb.21, 1948, crash in the English Channel, what is your source for the audio recordings of the crew? Are these authentic recordings or (as seems more likely to me) a dramatization ? Thank you for your excellent documentary.

Where in this time frame is the Spruce Goose?

Thank you. Great video. Even if the first picture of the Ju 89 shows a Ju 90.

I must have it!!

NEUSCHWABENLAND EXPRESS ...

i need to know was this really the situationns

This is the only good demonstration of the shortcomings of the HE177 engines on UA-cam!

They gave 470 Corsairs to th sea??? If they were giving them away, why not give them to Australia?

Lousy video.

I know Erhard Milch nursed a bitter grudge against Willy Messerschmitt over a friend who died test piloting a Messerchmitt prototype... you're saying he had a vendetta against Ernst Heinkel, as well??

No Idea wtf you are takling about

Clever and smart

One of this float plane has been found in a lake In Italy.

Great job. What an aircraft. What a waste that it was scrapped. 😢

LUXURY AMPHIBIOUS AIRCRAFT?LARGE ANOUGH TO PUT A FISHING BOAT IN?AND LIVE ABROAD SELF SUSTAINABLE FOR OVER A WEEK IN LUXURY?MM... INTERESTING....VERYYY INTERESTING...

Dumping the Corsairs Seems like a crime

This plane, had it managed to go into significant production, might've served a useful role as a cargo plane to bring vital raw materials to Germany, whose oceanic shipping was effectively shut down by Allied blockade efforts. But then again, I'm sure Allied fighters would've been all over them like stink on Scheisse.

I could ask you why did the USAAF use Spitfires? 3 F/Gs and a PR Sqn

Very interesting and informative your video on the Latecoere. I was a teenager when I lost 5 members of my family on the last trip from France to Martinique. It was such a beautiful sea plane right there in the harbor of Fort de France when it was coming to the island. It should have been kept in a museum. Thanks so much 😂😂.

How about the weird, weird, weird Blohm & Voss BV112. Weirdest warplane ever to actually fly.

This is a wonderful video and a beautiful, if seriously screwed up, airplane. Joined!

THE FIRST FLIGHT WAS CARRIED OUT BY SANTOS DUMONT!🙂

US Navy Mariner pilot then Lt Richard E Schreder was assigned to fly and evaluate this aircraft just after VE day . The story is told in his biography by his daughter entitled " 10,000 ft and climbing" that also covers his postwar career as a sailpane designer,builder and pilot of world standing. He also flew a Lake Amphibian in the 1990s i was privileged to work for him on glider design and fly with him in the early 1970s and once in the Lake in 1991 .

I wonder if the museum specimen used better urethane wood glue or epoxy resin?
