World of Warbirds

Each episode delivers a deep-dive engineering and operational analysis of a single aircraft. Go beyond mainstream history to discover how these legendary warbirds were designed, built, and modified for the crucible of combat. From legendary fighters and heavy bombers to overlooked cutting-edge prototypes, we cross-reference official military logs, design development records, and pilot memoirs to separate myth from historical fact. We also track down the rare survivors still in existence today,

Republic P-43 Lancer (Thunderstorm Series)

World of Warbirds ·

2025/12/12

It's the second in the series that will lead to the P-47 Thunderbolt! We'll follow the turbulent, evolutionary path that led from Seversky’s pioneering P-35 to the high-flying but flawed Republic P-43 Lancer. This episode covers the awkward “teenage years” of the Republic fighter family — the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the surprising missions flown by a fighter that was already outdated the moment it left the factory.Connect with me!
