Thank you for being a human and reading and writing your own text, and editing your own videos. Great stuff. So sick of the lazy AI slop.

"To attack the Sharnhorst and Gneisenau, you'll have to fly past a thousand anti-aircraft guns, into a narrow path, release a torpedo at just the right moment, and then pull up sharply to escape. It's almost impossible."<br>"It’s not impossible. I used to bull’s-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home, and they’re not much bigger than two meters!"<br><br> - conversation at RAF command before the raid on Brest, possibly! :-)

Weather that is "not uncommon in Britain" followed by an attack worthy of Victoria Cross. That's UK in WW2.

Jesus that run by Flying Officer Campbell sounds like an IRL Death Star trench run.

Always had fascination with baseline workhorses of war. Yes, as it always is they not so flashy and not so famous as paraded contemporaries. But you won't win a thing without ungodly hours of mundane scouting, recon, patrol, transportation and whatever else. Which was done by brave people who deserve no less praise for their effort than anyone else

Something just struck me. How quickly aircraft became obsolete during this time and now B52 are still flying near 70 years later

For other channels, a 20 min video is already a deep dive but for Rex its just another Tuesday
