“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 226

It seems like there are a lot of WWI aviation documentaries on the ‘Tube. This is one aspect of the war that I have found fascinating for a long time: wooden planes and iron men.

Unfortunately, pretty much all of them I’ve found so far are long. Like, multiple parts with each part about 90 minutes long. If you’ve got the time and inclination, you might look for “4 Years of Thunder” or “Flying Coffins“. I have not watched these myself yet.

Here’s one I found, “Cavalry Of The Clouds” that is a little on the long side, but not quite as long.

Bonus #1: From “The Great War” channel, a special, “Sharpshooters and Snipers in World War 1”.

Bonus #2: I’m pulling this somewhat out of context, as it is part of the “Over There” series from the NRAPubs channel, but I think it stands alone: the story of Alvin C. York, Medal of Honor recipient.

Upon returning to his unit, York reported to his brigade commander, Brigadier General Julian Robert Lindsey, who remarked: “Well York, I hear you have captured the whole German army.” York replied: “No sir. I got only 132.”
