in a world of youtube shorts, I am absolutely astonished and relieved that a 22 minute video with no long introduction, ad breaks, or other goofy stuff exists... just pure Me-262 and absolutely everything about it

This is NOT just a good video. After more more than eighty years from the start of the creation of the Me 262, masses of books, reports and films published, you offered us masses of information of all kind too long to enumerate here in the best possible way that were completely unknown. I am the retired Architect-Engineer of the former Olympic Airways, now at the age of 78 I pass at least six hours a day in my flight simulator and for me yours is the best documentary in every detail I ever saw for any aircraft in my entire life. I could not find words to thank you enough.

Beautiful video. I actually got to talk to a ME262 pilot at the USAF Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH back in 2002. I also talked to HE111 bomber crews, Stuka pilots, FW190, and 109 pilots. They were there in a huge group from Germany and my son was only 3 at the time and knew a lot of the German WW2 planes. They were amazed how he knew the names of all of them. I told them about a new video game called IL2 that just came out and how it modeled the WW2 planes. The Stuka pilot said he was going to look up the video game when he got home, he flew in MSFS on his computer. I had trouble with the ME262 in the game with the engines blowing up all the time. The ME262 pilot told me what was going on and how you could not move the throttle fast or it would set the engine on fire from the change of compression. The He111 bombardier told me how to use the bomb sight correctly, because I was having trouble hitting targets. He told me how to use the speed dial to keep the cross on target. When I got home I tried everything they told me and it all worked. I was amazed at how accurate a video game modeled everything that happened in the actual planes.

I love how this video not only explains the ME-262, but also how WW2 planes were built generally. Great video 👍
-
This Jet will always have a special place in my heart since it was my first well made model
-
The jet sound that comes with the music while explaining the part of starting the plane.... man i got goosebumps. Such peaceful sounds... Thanks for everything, amazing video.

Sehr gut gemacht, ruhig in der Sprache und sehr gut verständliche Informationsdichte. Grafik sehr klar und man versteht wunderbar worüber vorgetragen wird. Danke auch für die Abschlusszusammenfassung die kurz und knapp das Flugzeug in Relation zu seiner Wichtigkeit für den Kriegsverlauf bechreibt.

This may be the single greatest aviation doc ever produced. Very uplifting and calming. This is ART. Fantastic job!
-
Undoubtedly, you are one of the most complete channels in the military field. I have not seen any channel that produces content with this amount of details.

This narrator is literally perfect for anything! Well done mister Webb!

The Me-262 Jet Fighter is such a fascinating piece of history! It's incredible to think about the advancements in aviation technology during that era. The Me-262 was a real game-changer in its time, being the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It's so interesting to explore the internal mechanics and design of such an iconic aircraft. The way these early jets paved the path for modern aviation is truly remarkable! 🛩✨

I once read that when the MK108 Cannon was first deployed by the luftwaffe, the Allies were slow to learn of its existence. Mainly due to the fact that when it was used it had a success rate so high that there were rarely any survivors left to tell what had happened!
-
It's not just the great 3D models and animations, the video goes over the details of each component and even covers things like basic tactics and how the plane was used. Excellent video, I'd love to see more in the future!

Very professional video, congratulations ! My father came the closest he ever came to be killed in WW2 when at Zaventum aerodrome near Brussels, (now Brussels Airport). He had just finished a radio repair job on a B25 and was driving along the perimeter track in his service van, when he heard canon fire and a "whoosh" from the jet engines. It was a lone Me262 straffing the airfield trying to knock out the B25s in his Wing (139 Wing 2nd TAC). He found out later that the instrument fitter he had been working alongside in the same B25 was killed by a canon shell. The aircraft was not hugely damaged, however, and was repaired. Such is the luck of war.

Thank you, an excellent, most detailed representation of the construction of the Me262. Possibly the best I have seen. You are to be commended for you work, Cheers .

German engineering 🗿

Thank you very much for such detailed introduction of the German jet of WWII. Man, seeing how many procedures to just take off, really shows how educated and trained a pilot had to be, to handle such machine. Anyone who can manage these were very smart people in my book.
-
Great job! The combination of precise and careful drawing with ambient music in the background makes it a pleasure to watch!
-
The breadth of information and attention to detail is stunning beyond compare. I'm binge watching all your movies and will likely watch them again. So incredibly excellent. I can't wait for the next one!
