Too late for WW2, but she saw plenty of action in Korea to the Bay of Pigs! Help me clear up a podcasting regret!

She just wouldn't stop flying and fighting...from WW2 to Korea to Bay of Pigs to Vietnam to a whole bunch of shadow wars and even fighting fires, the Invader was a Warbird that never quit!

Tanner is back with a facinating look at the origins of jet powered fighter aircraft in the Soviet era! Don't expect HUDs or air-to-air missiles, Soviet pilots were lucky if they could fire their guns AND keep their engine running at the same time! Enjoy!

Most of us know Beechcraft for its reliable trainers and business aircraft—but what if I told you they also built a fierce ground-attack prototype around a tank cannon?

In this teaser, we scratch the surface of the XA-38 “Grizzly,” a twin-engine warplane that looked like a fighter, hit like a howitzer, and almost made it into WWII. Why was it built, and why did it disappear?

Don't mix it up with the A/B-26 Invader! This medium bomber was both knows as a "widow-maker" and was almost cancelled, but also had lowest loss rate of any bomber in the European Theater of Operations?? How did that work?? Let's dive in and find out!

Because some of my older episodes have dropped off Spotify, I will be re-releasing them here and there. Take a nostalgic "flight" with episode #1 of WOWB: Curtiss P-40 Warhawk! (Please be gentle, I was soooo new at this 5 years ago!)
