World of Warbirds
Each episode delivers a deep-dive engineering and operational analysis of a single aircraft. Go beyond mainstream history to discover how these legendary warbirds were designed, built, and modified for the crucible of combat. From legendary fighters and heavy bombers to overlooked cutting-edge prototypes, we cross-reference official military logs, design development records, and pilot memoirs to separate myth from historical fact. We also track down the rare survivors still in existence today, keeping these incredible engineering marvels alive.
Fix your eyes on the skies and join the flight.

I've received some concerns that the B-17s are getting all the attention ahead of "Masters of the Air", so here is the reissue of B-24 Part I. It's from early in the podcast, so please ignore the out of date housekeeping stuff! See the many images of what we are talking about on the Patreon Page!

Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked I cried to dream again.”
