Loved this show. But it was a B-17 sitting on the runway, a B-29 starting up, a Lancaster going down the runway, a B-17 again taking off, and then magically turned into a Focke-Wulf 200 when it got into the air.

@bobcat188 My uncle was a flight engineer on C-141's in Vietnam (an many other places), his math is very good also. He adjusted the propeller pitch as well as being a mechanic on both piston and radial engines.

@clintonearlwalker Of course HALO drops (High altitude low opening) which 30,000 feet would have been, didn't exist until the Viet Nam era. One of the major factors affecting the D-day drops was the flak, which caused the pilots to maneuver forcing them off course, they don't show any in this episode. In other cases, the pilots just plain got lost and dropped miles off course. Since flying is how I earn my living, and I've dropped meat bombs to build time, my math's good, lol

@bobcat188 That's a great theory and wonderful math assuming they weren't at 30,000 feet and the wind wasn't blowing. The D-day parachute drop "Numerous factors affected their performance, the primary of which was the decision to make a massive parachute drop at night (a tactic not used again for the rest of the war). As a result, 45% of units were widely scattered and unable to rally."-Wikipedia In fact, many captured American paratroopers can be seen in YouTube videos.

@clintonearlwalker At 300 mph, at most they'd have travelled a couple of miles, ie 5 miles a minute. When you're dropping people you slow down to just above stall speed so at most they'd have been strung out by about a mile.

Most shows today can't touch this. This blows 2 and a half men or another crap comedy out of the water.

From the time Shultze left the plane until the time Hogan finished talking to the General, the plane would have probably flew another 50 miles. Woulda' made a long walk back to camp.

@gunny426plymouth Also, on other episodes, Hochstedters car is an Old Rolls Royce. Has anybody noticed that?
-
It was a Lancaster on the take off roll. (twin tail) Then a B-whatever in flight!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOGAN UR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
Schultz: "Colonel Hogan, I'm too old to parachute jump!"
Hogan: "You're never too old Schultz, now come on."
Schultz: "Colonel Hogan, I'm too big to parachute jump!"
Hogan: "Now there you have a point."

@Deuteronomy1813 Hahahaha ! ! !
Carter was my favorite. He's like The Mad Bomber. He's always excited when dealing with his explosive experiments. You should see his history. He comes from bomber rednecks.
