80 years ago, on the 3rd May 1945, Hawker Typhoons of the RAF's 2nd Tactical Air Force attacked German shipping in Lubeck Bay, north of Hamburg.

Tragically, these ships were crammed with Concentration Camp prisoners that had been evacuated from the Neuengamme concentration camp; over 7000 were killed in the last days of the Second World War.Join us as we look into what happened on that terrible day 80 years ago.Sources:- A Disaster in Lübeck Bay: An Analysis of the Tragic Sinking of the Cap Arcona, 3 May 1945 - Dr Daniel Long PHd - 2nd Tactical Air Force, Vols. 3 and 4 - by Chris Shores and Chris Thomas- Sea of Death: The Baltic 1945 by Claes-Goran Wetterholm- Survivor by Sam Pivnik- The Last Survivor by Frank Krake about Wim AloserijPlease do follow the @neuengamme.memorial and @husumschwesing channels.-----------------------------------------------------🛫 Join us on Patreon!

🛩️The Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma, Tennessee, is my new favourite aircraft museum in the world. The museum is dedicated to the story of the Beechcraft and Travel Air brands and the incredible couple that drove the brand forward, Walter and Olive Ann Beech. Museum President, Charles Parish, very kindly gave us a tour around this huge collection of Beechcraft aircraft from the very first through to today.🛩️Visit the Beechcraft Heritage Museum website at: https://beechcrafthm.org/🛩️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beechcraftheritagemuseum🛩️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beechcraftheritagemuseum/-----------------------------------------------------🛫 Join us on Patreon!

Just down the road from Washington, DC, is the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia Triangle. Here, they tell the story of The Corps, from its founding to its future. Dr Larry Burke is the aviation curator, and he showed us what goes into telling the tale of Marine Corps aviation before handing off to the arms and armor curator, my buddy Jon Bernstein, to show us the gems in the rest of the museum.🛫 Join us on Patreon!
