March 20, 2026 Aichi M6A Seiran
What if Japan could have launched bombers from submarines anywhere in the world? This was not a sci-fi dream — it was the very real (and very bold) wartime plan behind the Aichi M6A Seiran. In this "deep-dive" episode, I explore the Seiran, and the underwater mothership designed to carry it — the enormous I-400.

I never want my show to be excluding listeners with unexplained acronyms or jargon concepts. I try to explain things as I go… but maybe some stuff sneaks by! Send me your questions! include your name (how to pronounce it) and where you are from! Until next time! - Bryan

January 09, 2026 The Jug pt. 2- Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
It's the last in my Thunderstorm series and The Jug reaches full maturity — evolving from a high-altitude bomber escort into one of the most feared ground-attack aircraft of the Second World War.
This episode follows the Jug’s constant evolution, its changing role alongside the P-51 Mustang, and its transformation into flying artillery that helped dismantle the Wehrmacht across Europe and beyond.

December 26, 2025 The Jug pt. 1- Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
It's the third in my Thunderstorm series and we've finally arrived the P-47 Thunderbolt!
We'll take it from the first halting steps of the P-44 Rocket, to the P-47B, to the teething pains in England and finally to the paddle-bladed and drop-tank equipped P-47C that could escort bombers AND dismantle the Luftwaffe. Enjoy!
