@charliem.7492 however thAnazing History Saud he was so many hands , full 2 meters (roughly six feet), and those men were dwarfed by the horse so he stood a good 9feet or more tall so he was using the measure of the withers rather than the top of the head.
That is absolutely incredible ❤️ … I have posted several tail gunner photos in prior videos … they absolutely fascinate me … every year I go to a special Memorial service and make it a point to seek out every single ww2 vet and thank them … There aren’t many left … This year I met a 101 year old submariner and a 102 year old Tuskegee airman … such an honor These ww2 veterans are gods to me ❤️
2:57 Few Wikipedia facts about Henry: -In 1913, his sister Ida swam all the way around Manhattan with Henry on her back. -1916, attempted to swim 20+ miles from southern Manhattan to New Jersey; needed rescue one quarter mile from completion. -Also 1916, swam one and one half mile across an extremely dangerous river from Queens to Manhattan while carrying 2 men with a total deadweight of 323 pounds. Nearly drowned when caught in a whirlpool and the two men panicked.
The steam locomotive in the video was the “first of its kind” … I.e. COGWHEEL steam locomotive. Stephensons was not a cogwheel. It was also not the first. He did build the first PUBLIC railway locomotive … But earlier steam locomotives were already running in the 1780’s 🤗
It literally says “Portrait of” … Portraits were usually done in a studio with a backdrop. It doesn’t even purport to be taken in the air … But he was the first to take an aerial photograph from a balloon
You really should explain for non-horse people that the 6 ft 6 in tall is at his whithers/shoulders, not the top of his head.
I wish I had room in the caption for such a lengthy explanation. Unfortunately I do not. However, let's pin this and people can see it at the top 👍

Loved the photos and the music. Wish i knew what part of Oregon the bridge was built. Born and raised here. Fascinating! Thank you!😙
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
A lovely set of photos. Thanks, Mark. Good to see a "Nope" picture, too. 😊
One of the nopiest ever nopes !
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Yep! 😄
Usually there are a few photos that i have already seen, but these were all new to me.
Nice pictures and excellent music, thanks. 😊👌
Many thanks! … I spend so much time trying to find rarer photos … and writing new music… it’s a lot of work and nice to be appreciated 👍🏻
My grandmother saw 12 of her sons go off to war, two of which were tail gunners. They all came home safely.

Then there were women who sent one, two or three who never came back. Feel for them, not those who had all come back.

Wow…my hometown of Virginia, MN made the cut for the ski jump ❤. And I agree…a BIG nope from me as well! 😱
It looks very cold there 🥶
Great choice of photos and music 👏👏👏👏👍🏼🇬🇧
Many thanks
Lol. You could change the name to Real Historical Photos (not AI). Btw, my spouse stated from the other room that she loved the music 😊
Good call! I like that better ! … and thank you to your spouse.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos she says "you're welcome! "
LOL the railroad bridge built from logs would be a big nope for me! Beautiful musical score as always
Thank you 🤗
The size of that horse's neck!
Wasn't Stephenson's rocket the first steam engine / locomotive ?

I wish I could see the biggest horse)
15 seconds
I wonder if the mother's 8 sons made it through the war and came home. I had 7 brothers in the military!
All came home 🤗
pretty sure the last one was faked in a studio with a painted backdrop, that was not taken in the air as it purports to be
