At A Short History I make short documentary-style videos focusing mainly on the world of military aviation. While I do enjoy making videos on Cold War aircraft, I will do videos on other periods as well.
From time to time, I try to make videos on other topics as well, but usually focused on military history in some form. I always try to respect copyright laws.

Oh man the interceptor mission is so badass. Scramble, take off, and full throttle towards the enemy until you get missle lock! No higher stakes, a single surviving bomber would mean the destruction of at least one city and hundreds of thousands of deaths. The cold war is just insane, and I would love to meet the men who flew this mission! They must have been quite the pilots!
When you get right down to it this was really about the last aircraft noteworthy Northrop made that was successful. Sure, they have made some impressive designs but Northrop has never really been all that much of a major player in aerospace when it comes to titans like Boeing, Lockheed, Airbus and others. The B-2 stealth bomber was impressive in its own right but that was a design 40 years in the making. For about the last 50 years Northrop has always been like a junior varsity football player in a league of professional athletes that gained yardage from time to time and even scored a touchdown here and there but wasn’t really all that much of an effective player when you strip the veneer of things.
I can’t watch this video any further than two minutes in. If I had to hear that annoying computer voice say F one hundred and one one more time, I would have thrown my phone across the room. F you to whoever put this video together.🖕🏻
Spoken by a bloody robot! My ancestor (Richard Gordon Slade) was the first test pilot to fly the Gannet (the Mosquito too). The only Gannet I remember seeing was the one parked up outside Flambards here in Cornwall.
Now there is one silly game. Billions spent on both sides to pre-set for a disaster that no one would even want to wake up in the middle of the night from experiencing as a nightmare. All the while not getting the proper health care because of the high cost. If it weren't for humans infesting this Earth it would be a nice place to live....
The F-2 is just an enhanced, reverse engineered F-16. It's like adding aftermarket parts on a car and calling it something else. It's still the same kind of car!
Already obsolete when it was introduced in 1952. No match for the Mig 15 (1949), the F86 Sabre (1949), the Saab J29 Tunnan (1951), Dassault Mystere (1954), F84 Thunderstreak (1954) and the Hawker Hunter (1954). As if that was not bad enough, they developed it into the Vixen, which appeared in 1959, almost at the same time as the Vought Crusader (1957), the Mig 21 (1959), the Mc Donnell Phantom II (1960) and the Saab Draken (1960) - which all had about TWICE it's top speed. "How to kill an aircraft industry".
@@A_Short_History and im gona search for it this spring. The information I got is that Red Niklas only had 50L fuel left and thats impossible to fly 180km away and crash in a swamp. So it should be near all other planes that crash landed on the ice in sea. It was 8 planes, when they got order to crashland they were in group, 2 each.
I have over 1000 hours in the F-102 (Deuce) as a member of the 111th FIS. 147th FIG, TxANG at Ellington Field. We flew operational, training and Air Defense Alert missions in the U. S. and Canada. Several of our pilots also flew with the 509th FIS, 405 TFW, PACAF during the Vietnam war. They were primarily based at Clark AB, PI with detachments at Tainan, Taiwan and several bases in S. Vietnam and Thailand. The Deuce was by far the best flying airplane I've ever flown...
In reality, this would have probably have been the best solution for the RAF rather than the Lightning and probably sold more export aircraft. The production version would have have to have been larger though.
