    "The case for the P-47 Thunderbolt being the greatest fighter of the Second World War "

    I am hardly writing anyone off for not producing a video. I was quite clear in saying I would not be making one myself, so I am hardly going to be criticising others for not making one. You are making things up.

    Thank you. I appreciate your help. Computers and I do not get along too well sometimes, like at 0700 as it is where I am now and the sun is coming up. Enough for today I think.

    We are discussing the relative merits of two aviation communities where at one of those communities people who are not prepared to have a look at the content of the other one are writing it off as completely worthless. It sounds to me like a lot of snobs who won't let someone into their club...

    That is why you are at this forum Greg would have a similar following. Not everyone, of course, but it would seem enough.

    And how can you prove that you do? You might but I have no way of knowing but likewise you have no ability to look down on those just because they like to watch his videos.

    The P47, as I have pointed out to you many times, could not accept tanks until late 1942 BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE THE PLUMBING FOR IT.

    Math is not a popular subject for most people. TikTok/Survivor/AGT is. That is the content being watched in great numbers and with enthusiasm, but without any intelligence. Those watching Greg's type of videos are much more enthusiastic and interested in their subject. It is not an idle...

    Really? Why is the USA below the OECD average in school level math standards? https://www.thebalancemoney.com/the-u-s-is-losing-its-competitive-advantage-3306225

    It would not be very smart to disobey or purposely ignore a direct order from the CinC of the AAC. Of course, if no one was taking the directive(the exact word used was "directs" not decreed) seriously, Arnold would not have needed to rescind it(February 1942) now would he?

    Well, it barely produced the same performance as the contemporary piston engined fighters.

    Here is Greg's equivalent, of the aircraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUwcAbuvLOU&t=24s I believe it would be on a completely different level.

    I believe that he uses this comparison, as the performance of the two are reasonably close. A contemporary Meteor was somewhat behind both. There was really not much else at the time, except for the He162, documentation for which might have been somewhat problematic.

    I don't think too many people will be watching this video because it is "cool". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv83yBebiIU&t=18s The title alone would put most people off this one, unless they took quite a distinct interest in the subject matter, like I do.

    Dark Skies? I have never even heard or seen that before you brought it to my attention. I don't know if I will have time to watch it, so I don't know if I will be able to comment. The brief snippet that I just watched was just repeats of footage I have already seen. At least with Gregs, most...
