Hey dudes, Been a while since I last posted anywhere here, but recently I stumbled across a whole series of videos hosted by Peninsula Seniors on youtube. Before you start thinking what kind of time-shares I'm selling, they have created a series of aviation videos where they invite a speaker (or two) to give a lecture about a specific aspect or area of an aircraft, it's operation or development, at the Western Museum of Flight. The people are involved are usually pilots or occasionally engineers, and from what I've seen usually from Grumman/Northrop Grumman. They are very fascinating, and give a deeper look into the aircraft and their development that you don't get from random internet or wikipedia entries.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Focke Wulf 189. Tactical Recon Aircraft. I'mm guessing that this is what you saw.

"From our orbital vantage point, we observe an earth without borders, full of peace, beauty and magnificence, and we pray that humanity as a whole can imagine a borderless world as we see it, and strive to live as one in peace."

An American defector gave the Germans a perfectly good P-38 in the MTO.

As a lot of videos in this thread have disappeared, it seems like a good idea to post some of my 'goto' channels for this sort of stuff.
Starting with aircraft: https://www.youtube.com/user/Aircrewinterview/videos?pbjreload=10 seriously this is one of the best channels out there for the range of stuff covered. It does exactly what it says on the tin- it interviews aircrew (and the odd groundcrew) I will have to put a warning or 2 on this:- your marriage may suffer and some of the interviewees use adult language:
A rather interesting lecture on WWII engine development with some new information (the stuff on German alloys and it's effects I found very enlightening )
If you like this you may be interested in the lecturer's book on the subject?
