Good Youtube lectures
« on: July 06, 2015, 09:39:50 PM »
Part of a series from the national WWII museum.  First is a lecture by own of the authors of "Shattered Sword"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23vL8AvqbDc

The second is a lecture by James Hornfischer, author of "Neptune's' Inferno" on the USS Houston, and the first weeks of the war in the far east

And a great story of the battle of the java Sea, again featuring the US Asiatic fleet and the first weeks of the war

I hope you find some value in these, I really enjoy these authors.

Awesome!! Watched them all. Thanks for sharing.


Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.

If i recall correctly, we already have flown a mission of yours right off the pages of this book. Take a look at chapter 15, " I  wish I had just one more bomb!".  :thumbsup:
