All these months later its finally time to continue our journey down the rabbit hole in the wonderful world that is Russo-Soviet aviation history. After our brief introduction to their fighter programs throughout the first half of the 20th century, the rise of "Amicable Adolf and the Spicy Pinwheel Gang" led to humanity storming into the jet age in explosive fashion. Yet in Moscow progress was lagging behind, but through violence, espionage and a little bit of crime, the come back was on. In this video we take a look at the very first efforts of the Russo-Soviet Aviation industry in jet propulsion and the cavalcade of calamity which reads more like a Monty Python Movie than real history. So strap in for a wild ride, because as one war ends... The Cold War Begins... Music Provided by Karl Casey @WhiteBatAudio as always!
