Come with me in the F-A/18 Hornet fighter to see the many military airfields developed in Australia's Northern Territory "top end" for the RAAF & USAAF following the attack on Darwin in February 1942 by the same Japanese aircraft carrier fleet that attacked Pear Harbour in December 1941. Also, experience some maneuvers in the Hornet. Finally, enjoy a visit to famous Uluru/Ayers Rock smack in the middle of Australia. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Come visit 1929 Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) and see how TAT formed the first airways airline passenger route across the USA using Ford Trimotor aircraft and innovative systems for flying and for passengers. Called the "Lindbergh Line" it involved 2 days of combined travel by air and train. This Part 2 video covers Waynoka to Columbus. Part 1 covered Los Angeles to Clovis. Clovis to Waynoka was by overnight train, as was Columbus to New York/Washington DC. Cheers.

Come visit the beautiful Isle of Man, a UK Protectorate in the middle of the Irish sea, and see how it defended itself, housed civilian "alien" internees, and trained tens of thousands of military personnel in numerous areas.

Come visit Nadzab (just outside Lae) in Papua New Guinea, and associated areas, and see how American and Australian paratroopers carried out the 1st successful airborne operation of WW2 and one considered to be the best "text-book" example of an airborne op.
