Hello aviation fans.
This time I'd like to take You back in past and describe one of the most interesting methods of blind bombing - the British OBOE system.
It utilized radionavigation and triangulation and took a significant part in air raids effectiveness.
Hope You like the final result. If so - I would be more than grateful for any feedback and of course for sharing this video and subscribing my channel:)

My Father was a B-17 navigator, 381st BG Ridgewell UK. Shortly after arriving there, he was trained on the GEE system, which followed Shortly after OBOE. He said it was great, even setting up approaches to the field, much to the amazement of new pilots on their first nightime practices operations, who weren't informed of it. After being vectored around & landing, they would ask Dad, "How did you do that!?"😅

The Norden bomb sight was no more accurate that the British type.

What a great video, there is so much effort put in for such a small channel! Also is it just me or is your profile image the shadow of a X-15?

@x-planed 2 года назад

You bet, it’s a X-15. The channel is small because I just started it. But I have ideas for at least 10 more films😉

@Ninjapancake36 2 года назад

@@x-planed I love the story and physics behind that aircraft, and I’m excited to see how your channel will grow! You have a sub from me friend

Sounds like an improved copy of an earlier German system as used in the blitz, the English countermeasures were known as "The Battle of The Beams".

@andygiles4036 6 месяцев назад

'Lorenz' Blind landing system adapted by the germans similar to OBOE....The British managed to 'Bend' the beam by using the same frequency and moving the cross point.The 'Secret War' a BBC Production in the 70's.explains this very well
