Amy, it's really hard to believe. From easy, quick and "basic" few minutes long videos answering simple questions, now we have fully scripted, complete and resourceful episodes about interesting, various topics. Thumbs Up!

"cold war aerial espionage" has never sounded so good. Keep up the great work.

I've always wondered how the U.S.A.F ended up with a couple of thousand bombers (B-47s and B-52s in the 60s) when they knew that the soviets had hardly any. Is that the reason that Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex?

PhD dissertations defenses typically include less information and detail. Well done, Amy.

"Sheep-dipping" (military pilots pretending to return to civilian life as cover) is somehow a hilarious term.

Oh, I didn't realize Edwin Land was involved with the U-2...pretty interesting the fact that he was also the inventor of instant photography and polarizing filters...Hence the Polaroid Land Camera.

It’s amazing what Kelly Johnson and his team were able to accomplish with the limited technology they had available to them. I feel that if this project were to be undertaken in this era, it would take ten times longer and cost ten times more. Thank you for the great content.
