Title: Best YouTube channel on the science behind WWII aircraft
Post by: davidpt40 on November 08, 2019, 04:30:47 PM
I recently came across a YouTube channel ran by an airline pilot who delves into the science of why certain aircraft performed certain ways, and also to dispel a lot of myths.  It's called "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles".

Just to give you an idea, his videos compare the Me262 and P-80, the B-17 and Lancaster, the real reason the P-51 was fast, and the design features of the F4U Corsair.  It gets pretty complicated for an armchair historian like me, but I still learn a lot from it.
