Almost 3 Hours of Aviation History | Rex's Hangar - Season 1 

My algorithm loves to watch this when I go to sleep.

Wow - I had not realised how much my narration has improved over the last two years! Let me know if you like this format!

I fell asleep at 6:30 AM watching cat memes and woke up at 4:30 PM with Rex's Hangar talking about hte Focke Wulf Fw 200 Condor

I listen to this and World War II videos, while falling asleep, his voice is really relaxing. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I know this kind of content flies in the face of RU-vid's obsession with short videos, flashy graphics, and easy to sell advertising space... but I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

I’ve got 2 1/2 hours of boring work to do so this was pretty great timing

Long form Rex’s Hangar to listen to while at work? It’s like Christmas all over again!

This length of video is a dream come true, thank you Rex!

Let's go! 3 hours of air planes!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

This kind of content is great to put on while cleaning or drawing, thanks for your hard work and dedication to keeping history alive

I am really looking forward to these long format recaps monthly or quarterly. Thank you Rex

Love the compilation. Thank you. If the weather was warmer I'd be listening while mowing the lawn.

Rex’s Hangar uploaded? It’s a long form video?! ITS ALMOST THREE HOURS?!?! ❤❤❤

Chilling at the end of the night to these long form videos is perfection.

Thank goodness it's a compilation - for one moment I though you were on illicit substances with three hours on the nitty-gritty of one subject and trying to outdo Drachinifel in utter nerdery. PHEW!😂😂😂❤

hey Rex ill be honest I love you work im a military tech history nerd i follow you for you aviation history Drach for my naval fix and Chieftain for my armor but i tend to skip over all the short videos bc i like the long format especially the deep dives so yes my nerd heart skipped a beat when i heard you compiled your short vids into a longer vid

Absolutely fantastic to have these!

It's a good day when Rex's Hanger uploads. It is an even better day when uploads a video as long as this.

Omg this will be perfect for long cardrives, imagining all these planes flying overhead

This is great. Thanks for all the hard work!

Honestly, couldn't have asked for a better ASMR video. Thanks rex!

Loving the long format. I watch all of your videos over and over but dislike having to search for them. Now I have them all in one place and in order. Brilliant.

3 HOURS? i do NOT have the time nor the popcorn for this. And yet here I am...😂

It's the annual Burning Season in SE asia, where a locked-down lifestyle to escape 24/7 smoke (reminiscent of Covid19 imprisonment) requires steel nerves OR a *_Rex's Rescue Package._* Thank's Rex for all your hours of fascinating Aviation History, especially compiled into these long form videos 😊

Decently frequent 5 hr drives, this is the perfect thing to put on. Awesome compilation.

well now, considering i have a crapload of housework to do and only tonight to do it, this is perfect.

Being someone who drives for a living I greatly enjoyed this format. More like this would be awesome.

What is this? A blessing from the lord Rex? I'm thanking to the skies.

I have seen some of the segments in this compilation but have enjoyed watching it. The individual videos are always interesting and informative but I really like this format too. Certainly would like to see more of them. Thank you!

Please continue to compile and update future videos, this was the best one to date🙏

Scale building and listening to the long format is a perfect match !!!! No need to look for videos when I'm busy. Hope you'll be doing another video like this again. Weirdly enough, I was looking at the Brewster Buffalo modeling kit today, now it's definitely going in my cart for delivery!

Oh mah lawd.. a Rex's Hanger PODCAST!! 😍

I’d rather save one of these long-form compilations in my own playlists than rely on a separate playlist of the individual episodes. And this now gives me a perfect excuse to rewatch some of the early videos.

I stumbled upon your video a few days ago, not really being a plane-head, and without realizing the video was 3 hours long. Over the last few days I’ve really looked forward to putting this on whenever I can. You did an excellent job keeping the listener interested and engaged. Your narration style is easy to listen to for long periods of time. I normally do not comment, but this is top notch work.

Word I just got to work so this is like the best thing that could have dropped today

Awesome, now you just need to match Drac by putting out two 3-hour and one 1-hour Q&A videos every month!

As a brand new viewer and fellow aviation nerd I certainly appreciate being able to binge watch/listen so I'm all for more!

Excellent long form format. Looking forward to season two. Well done.

This streamed format of some simply EXCELLENTLY researched separate programs was nothing less than consummate genius. WELL DONE and thanks!!!!!

Watching this while attempting to finish my 1/72 Bf 109 model, it's very enjoyable! I worry that the YT algorithm won't appreciate this though.

I love this... I'm an aircraft mechanic myself and love listening to history while I'm doing a more monotonous job on the weekends

I had intended to watch this over several days, but got into it - especially the varied aircraft format - and ended up watching in just two go's! Well done, Rex!

What a great way to compile your work here.

Brilliant! I watch all your videos and then I tend to listen to them as repeats - some multiple times. As such this is a great development, but please please do not stop producing the great visuals/content. Its the highlight of the day when you have done a new video.

Yes, your narration has improved dramatically. You could continue this format!

You're kidding, right? This format is one of Drachinifel's most popular!

Thank you for the long format video. Your voice is pleasant and the narration is very interesting. Excellent for falling asleep too or for listening during the day. Subscribed

Perfect video to spend my workshift!

As a brand new subscriber, I'm both super thankful this video exists! Thank you

Loved it, hope you can keep doing longer videos.

Great for a good recap on past videos. Thanks Mr Sir !

I really appreciate this format. Great for long exercise sessions. I’d love more of them. I’d prefer about 1-1.5 hours per video if possible.

OK, back again. A great little collection to drift off to sleep, with, wake with a start, rewind a bit, and repeat. Plus fun to watch when I'm awake. Thanks!

Background joy here I come!

Love this Rex! Have you thought of uploading the audio to podcast apps? Would love listening to this while on a walk for example and not have to use youtube.

Rex i love your stuff and put it on regularly to sleep to, its informative enough to keep me engaged til the final moments, but chill enough to make it easy. Thank you for the best sleep ive gotten all week

Cool I like those long format videos. Ita a great thing to listen to while working or whatnot.

Oh boy! Three hours!

Loved this. As a late arrival just what I need ❤

Love the long format. Especially with the contemporary examples because it put them in perspective.

Absolutely love this new format!!!!

Excellent content long form is really good

Yes Rex. This a good thing. More please.

Great format. Like the long style.

I build scale model aircraft, and having this playing in the background, on my tablet on my workbench, is helping me to be more productive as well as being informative on a subject I love - Aviation.

Wow, I'm in awe of human ingenuity and innovation.

Love it! The Last few modifications by RU-vid are not in my favour and all of a sudden there ist this Long playing Format.

01:04:00 We Finns had Brewster from summer 1940 till autumn 1944 as front line fighter, and the initial 44 airframes was enough for 1 fighter squadron for years of war. Till spring 1943 they were our top of the line fighters. We got first batch ac. Bit less powerfull engine, but much lighter than what USN tried to fight in 1941/1942. Against I-16s, I-15bis and I-153 of early war Brewsters used zoom and climb. During wild fighter combats against LaGG-3s, first La-5s, Airacobras, Yak-1 and Yak-7 and Hurricane IIs in late summer of 1942 over Gulf of Finland our 1st rate pilots were experiencing high strain, but they still held the line. Fighter squadron 24 accomplished highest in aviation history kill ratio with Brewsters (so much being worst fighter of WW2). You forgot one, maybe the most popular nickname of Brewster here: "Pylly-Valtteri". Its something like "wide bum George", 😂 and like ALL nicknames it was highly positive. BTW "Pearl of the sky" is better translation than what you offered. Finns never called Buffalo as Buffalo, Brewster was official designation and BW-nnn was designation of invidual ac. BTW Brewsters wide bottom allowed mechanic or two, or two mechs with squadron dog plus basic tool set to be crammed into it in addition to pilot on transit flights to another base. In late 43 and 44 Finns tried to have 2 swarms of Buffaloes low, and swarm of Bf-109Gs flying top cover. Soviets had to face zoom and climb Messers, and if trying to turn with Brewster lower, even the most modern La-5FN (5 years newer ac than Brewster at the time) was killed within half circumvence of first turn. Finns mechanics loved simple maintenance of Brewster. Cyclone was really good engine and didn't need stupid things like ricin oil. Landing gear was plenty sturdy for land based operations, but even we noticed that it would had been failure point on carrier ops (especially heavier later mods). There wasnt any issues with built quality, on contrary. They were sturdy birds. Maybe Brewster at that time properly tried to succeed with USN. Your section of Finnish Brewsters was overall very well researched. Kudos.

You know whenever I see the Defiant my brain always goes 'Why don't we stick eight Machine Guns in the wings, it'd make a very fine dogfighter then'. The I Realised you'd just have a slower, less nimble Hurricane which I lovingly refer to as the Flying Crate.

Love compilations !! Fantastic lengths! But i also watched a D day 24 hour rundown hour by hour! Best 24hrs spent on RU-vid.

Thank you so much!!!!! Made my day.

Oh god you dont know how much i need this to get through work, if i dont have a 2 hour minimum video rambling on about something i like i enter a fugue state of violence

I love to listen to these late evening tio relax my brain. Also great when I am doing something like painting models or building kits!

Love this. I hope that you do more! I love the short form as well, but this gives me options. Great for when doing a project that takes a long time. Thank you so much!

Big fan of this idea. I like to listen to your videos on long car drives and this makes it so much easier. Please also publish a playlist of your playlist videos for ultimate long time easy Rex listening.

Thanks for this, love the long-play amalgamation of the shorter films, and also love the 1-subject deeper dives too.

Informative, engaging and relaxing. Well edited.

My father john Pat, RAF 1938-45, RCAF 47-52, spoke fondly of the Defiant in particular its ability to rotate all 4guns to fire forward u dear pilot control. He was evacuated from Dunkirk day 6, he spent the BoB with 238 Sqdn I loved flying with him.

Wow, a long Rex's Hangar video. This is a dream come true!!!!!!

Super format for background listening

Finally, 'the mule' makes sense. Thanks.

I'm fascinated by the Bolton Paul defiant. It's incredible the plane was built without any forward-facing armament.

I nodded off watching this. Woke up at 3.30am with 20 minutes left to watch until the end. lol

Binge watching this channel, yes please :-) Seriously though, was a great idea to put season 1 together, only recently discovered your channel and then to find this video with the whole season was just perfect, watched every episode in this form. Hope it does not provide too much extra work for you to pull the eipisodes together, if not then definitely a yes vote from me for this to continue. Thanks for your excellent work.

You've already put the work into the videos. Seems like a nice way to put the older episodes back into the light.

What a great 1st video to have show up in my recommended feed. How have I missed this channel?! I have 400+ subs on aviation/military aviation and history, yet this channel slipped through. VERY happy to have this great channel in my subscription list now. Well done Rex, what an incredible piece of work on a unique part of this subject matter.

2-3 hours docus are why I'm subscribing now. Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks for the compilation, made my Sunday chores fly by. Podcast would be nice as I can listen at work. Thanks again!

Massive - provocative - BRILLANT!!

Huge thanks!

Perfect video to listen to in bed right after an intense war thunder session in my De haviland hornet.

Absolutely fantastic to have these!. I absolutely like this! Finally 3 hours companions while writing my thesis..

I'm fairly new to your channel and I love listening to interesting documentary content while playing video games, so I hope you continue with these compilations as this was wonderful to have playing on the side.

Under the Fairey Battle segment at time 01:01:10, it mentions a raid that resulted in the first 2 RAF Victoria Cross. My dad was rear gunner wireless operator and was first Canadian to get the DFM after shooting down 3 109's, but as his Battle was so badly shot up, the pilot told him and the observer to bail out. He was knocked out when he hit the tail and landed in a hospital court. Within 15 minutes, he became a POW, staying at 16 different camps and was not released until 2 days before VE day. His name was Gordon Nelson Patterson

Thank Rex, Great job! The timestamps also make it handy to move forward to what you are interested on.

I absolutely love this format.

the algorithm did its thing. binge then fall asleep

And bloody please make it as a podcast to download! 😅

The long form is great. Particularly when I’m listening at work.

Hiya Rex! I've always liked your narration and your very-well researched videos! Really like this long format video....hope you have more in the pipeline! Great, great job! Thanks!
