I think ol' Drach hisself commented on this ability to put folks to sleep.I have tried to set through Drachinifel on numerous times but I just can't do it, well I don't remember anything when I wake up anyway!

Just like I love every Marine! Somebody has got to be a badass in person. I was happy to send my officers to war and curse them for putting holes in my airplanes!You have to love the Royal Navy, or navies in general. I skip his Age of Sail stuff but enjoy his Age of Steam content.
The narrative is a BS. The Battle in the Bismark Sea, March 1943 is known for the use of modified B-25 Mitchells. Those were the 4-GUNS-NOSE planes, modified in Australia, known as Pappy Gunn's strafers.
The 8-guns-nose (J2) is a factory design and is a kit to be installed on ANY B-25, thus many B-25G and B-25D having them. The first part of the video shows B-25G with the canon and has nothing to do with the text behind. The original movie which was used is called B25-G Bombers w 75MM M4 Cannon on a Combat Mission WW2 USAAF Aerial Action Footage.
Those pseudo-historical videos with a robotic voice behind, using some footage loosely based on the topic are a No-No!
Put them in the thread "AI failed again".

You are welcome. The footage with the coral landing strips is from another USAAF movie called "Winged Artillery", showing the 41-st BG on Tarawa.Thank you for that link. Notice all the dust on take off. That was probably a coronus (crushed coral) airstrip and that dust was like fine grinding compound and played havoc with engines.
I wouldn't say "love". I'd go with "A great fondness". John Paul Jones was my second childhood hero, after Mike Mercury...ya' scurvy lubber...argh.You have to love the Royal Navy, or navies in general. I skip his Age of Sail stuff but enjoy his Age of Steam content.
I love that kind of talk.... I was happy to send my officers to war and curse them for putting holes in my airplanes!
I tend to tune out the narrative on these sort of videos but that one became impossible to turn out.
amien Parrer's film The Battle of the Bismark Sea is available on the web and much of it was filmed standing up and filming over the shoulder of a Beaufighter pilot.

I would imahine that the Germans were busy loathing the P-47s and Typhoons as it was.Good picture forDonivanp and why would German troops care anyway?
Try having a PTO Marine vet (of VMF-212) teaching you to fly when you eff up:I love that kind of talk.
Had a Marine Fist Sergeant teach me Truck driving. Not fun!I would imahine that the Germans were busy loathing the P-47s and Typhoons as it was.

"Is that you trying to kill my machine??"
"You will not kill my machine"
I did not kill his machine.
Not to worry, we love you anyway.As a former USMC Sgt (avionics tech & QA inspector) I am often finding myself giving orders to my co-worker.
While I have known him since before I went on active duty, he is still a Master Electrician and I am an Apprentice Electrician (he has me listed in his phone as "indentured servant/slave")... but old habits die hard (I left active duty 36 years ago!).
I was answering Paul's post # 619 and focused on the (possible) camera-tail mostly. Those a/c are weather-reconnaissance planes so all types of mods are possible. I do believe they are unarmed and the turret of the J-model does not have any guns at all. Same with the waist windows. The 2 loop antennae are seen on some of those general-transports (check B-25 gen. Arnold or gen. Eisenhower). I do believe the second one is a back-up (double radio compass).An old message #622 had the following image attached. It was commented on about the radar dome mounted where the old belly turrets were but another couple of interesting points I don't think anyone has mentioned.
1) Both C/D types have their Dorsal turrets removed.
2) The J model to the right has two D/F loops, one under the nose in the usual position and another behind the wing under the belly. I don't think I have seen that on any other airframe in a combat theatre.
