  2. The flying tank idea was far from a loser. The US made good on this with the AC-130 gunship. You know… You've done at least 1 or 2 videos on it LOL! But seriously it's a truly scary weapon that would have made them salivate in WWII

  10. "…more about the limited understanding and misconceptions surounding human sexuality AT THE TIME"… except large portions of the american public are still just as confused and misconcepted about it. Pretty sure the new Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency should something catastrophic occur, is convinced that gays are made by the devil. Those "then prevailing notions and biases" are still very much alive and healthy.

  11. Thanks for the code – I have used the one before to get the bear and now this. I love how I can get this here – because I'm loving your content, but that doesn't mean I don't love skincare too

  15. Believe it or not, the Americans had their own flying tank designs during world war 2: These were adaptations of the fast tanks designed by John Walter Christie, specifically his M1928 model. This was partially because it already used a powerful (for the time) aircraft engine to begin with, making around 750 HP, partially because it was a lightly armed and armoured tank with a longer hull than most other tanks of the time. Their idea was to attach a disposable wooden biplane frame to the rear two thirds of the tank chassis with explosive bolts, with the propeller driven by a chain drive from the rear sprocket on the tanks engine. Most flying tank designs were designed to be air dropped and either glide or fly for a few tens of miles at most before landing, but the American M1928 derived version was theoretically capable of taking off from the ground.
    One of the reporters at the time who saw a demonstration of the prototype (it was never put into production beyond that stage) described it as follows: "The most charitable description I can give is that the darned thing looks like it absolutely did not want to fly, but could be intimidated into doing it by the attached biplane frame."
