About

If you are looking for technical information about historical Airplanes and Automobiles, this is the right channel for you. My name is Greg, and I am a life long aircraft and automotive enthusiast, and I work professionally in both fields. The aviation side of this channel has a heavy focus on WW1 and WW2 aircraft, although I will occasionally touch on jets. My automotive focus is largely on Italian cars and Muscle cars, but I like almost all cars. Since I have an all wheel drive dyno in my shop near Tulsa I will frequently use it in videos. My Patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/GregsAirplanesandAutomobiles Thanks for stopping by.

Video Description

The Douglas DC-7 and Lockheed Starliner were the Superprops of airliners. They used Wright Turbo Compound Engines which at first glance appear to be in violation of the laws of physics.
