Apparently that particular “WW2 Records” YouTube channel is well known for fake stories. And there’s a few comments by aerospace types who point out that a cable problem couldn’t possibly cause the handling problem claimed by this video.
There’s a few excellent WWII channels on YouTube. “The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War” and “Drachinifel” and “WorldWar2Live” being among them.
Thanks, will check those out.
I recently watched a WWII training film showing how you and 50 of your closest friends can assemble a P-47 from crates in a field without a crane and using only hand tools (!!!). The shipping crates become jigs/stands for the assembly process.
It was something else!
