I have a lot of things in the works
I should be uploading a DCS video on the 190 A8 soon, of course it has a lot of real 190A8 stuff in it. Then I have a partially finished B-26 Marauder video I'm thinking about finishing up, I have been neglecting the medium bombers for a while. Of course I have some things I need to finish as well, P-38, Mossie, 190 and more.
On the Wright Brothers front, there have been no serious attempts to claim the one thousand dollar prize, nothing even close to reasonable.

My back is doing a lot better. Thanks for asking.
How’s the back? All rehabbed and ready to start running marathons again?😎 Not surprised no has tried to claim, deep down they’re trolls and they know it. Most are hoping some dim witted ( not hard to find) politician takes up their cause and they can profit from the notoriety.
Thanks, I'm getting a lot better, I hope to go back to work in a few months.
Greg- I just finished “The Dragon’s Teeth.” What an excellent look at the problems with creating a modern Air Force in the Interwar USA. Well worth finding a copy. I’m now getting into The Wright Brothers and the Birth of Aviation by Lester Garber which was recommended by a commenter on YT. Another wonderful book.
No one’s claimed the prize? Shocking. My only thought on the topic was that perhaps F. W. Lanchester might have touched on it, but all I can see are a few vague comments from 1909, and to me even those seem to indicate he wasn’t really thinking about adverse yaw.
The B-26 is a much maligned aircraft until the were able to properly train pilots flying them. FW 190s are excellent fighters. I have been reading on B-25 Mitchells which was used to great effect not just as a bomber, but for a ground attack and anti shipping role.
I have always liked the B-25 strafing variant. Stories of the 5th AF using them against Japanese shipping and airfields. That much foreword facing firepower shredded anything and everything.
