Greg needs to come forward with his other 3 supposed documents on this tank. Here is what I suspect: These documents refer to the ferry tank and he has just read into them the existence of this unicorn tank. In the debate he stated that he "thinks" the image I posted above is the 200 gallon...

Well what I am trying to rule out is the existence of a second tank. I've only ever seen the ferry tank. I've seen no evidence at all of anything other than the ferry tank and presumably this is just an artistic error. But I want to know if anyone else has ever seen any tank that looks like...

Anyone else ever see any other images or info on this tank in the above image? I cannot find any info on this, despite Greg claiming he has 4 documents on this. I personally think this tank doesn't exist or never made it through development. Even if it does exist, we have no evidence it was...

Yeah and you can also see the in Greg in how gleefully managed to ramrod the Operation Northwoods into this. And there his obvious infatuation with the buffoonery of John Boyd and the reformers.

I think strategic bombing and lack of escorts are separate things. Douhet and the USAAF are also different things. Unescorted raids made alot of sense in the 1930s. Fighters could barely keep up and more importantly once a pass was made it was difficult to reattack, and you would be coming up...

I actually don't think he has much of a point regarding doctrinal issues causing delay. His point here exists in a vacuum where he doesn't take into account the prewar or early war situation at all. The Air Force didn't have enough bombers, much less fighters in the pre war period. The early...

So another thing I don't get about Greg's position in the debate is his bringing up of the 350 mile missions over New Guinea. Um. So? The classic range chart showing fighter ranges shows p47 ranges in August 43 over ETO as 375 miles. That is further than his Pacific missions. I don't...

It's on youtube

I will summarize this for people who asked for it above: Basically Greg's argument repeatedly states nonsense over and over and he acts like he is stating grounded facts. -His drop tank claims. He constantly repeats without evidence that there were suitable 200 gallon tanks available. He...

I think Bill won that pretty obviously. Greg just keep blabbing nonsensical counter factual and insinuating without and even contrary to the evidence that the leadership was stuffing the P-47. I still haven't seen any evidence that this 200 gallon tank he keeps claiming exists. He's now talking...

I summarize this entire video with the following: "The B-17 wasnt a lancaster so it was shit"

Be sure to invent a plentifully available centrifugal supercharger that was fully available in 1941 but the Air Force was refusing to use it because they would rather lose than use a supercharger. :P

Yeah the Bomber Mafia thing irritates me to no end. Greg also makes a terrible video on the big buffoon John Boyd and EM theory. This tells me he is signed on to the nonsensical narrative of the "military reform" movement of the 1970s through 1990s. Basically a bunch of luddites who thought...

I figured out how Greg invented his imaginary Republic 200 gallon high altitude tank that he claims in his video was ignored deliberately by the Army Air Force. He specifically claims it wasn't the ferry tank. As a recap, he claims in the video that Republic made a 200 gallon tank different from...

I was going to make an entire video on this, but quite frankly I am exceedingly lazy so this is going to have to do. Ever since Greg made is absurd video on the P-47s range where he argues that the so called "bomber mafia" deliberately were holding back the P-47 from its true potential I have...
