Join me as I jump into a very special aircraft - a two-seater Bf 109 G-12. Though this is a Buchon (Spanish Bf 109) conversion, the G-12 did exist in order to help train 109 pilots at the end of the war. It's amazing that one still exists!

Why did Germany and the Luftwaffe not have long-range strategic bombers? As a follow on from the previous video on Japanese strategic bombers, in this episode I chat about doctrine, industrial capacity, resources, manpower and more - it turns out,...

What are the reasons why the Germans built fighter aircraft? The reason will, to paraphrase internet clickbait, "surprise you" - it has very little to do with defence against bombers!

The Battle of France 1940. What most expected at the time to be a long, drawn out campaign, was over in a mere few weeks. In today's video, I take the Battle of Sedan and the Race to the Channel as a case study to explore how the Luftwaffe concent...

A little while ago I asked you to submit questions on the Luftwaffe 1935-1940. The questions are great and I am now closing the entries for now, as I started to go through them to answer them in videos, either as the main topic or as a sidebar. 2025-04-21 15:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post

In this video, I am pitting the Spitfire's cockpit against the Bf 109's. Yes, many things have been said but I think that many comparisons only focused on one thing: the space for the pilot to move and especially keep an eye on that dreaded six o'...
