Not all of them featured the single steering mechanism, the majority of the mass produced models featured dual steering - however not all used two ‘qualified’ pilots, some operations saw a regular trooper in the co-pilot seat! I need to get out more… 🙄
By trade, I'm a graphic designer and even I can see that A.I. has a place IF used correctly... this is an example of it being used so incorrectly that its actually laughable... unless you're fool enough to spend money on something like this - and of course, its available on Ebay!
One of the best documentary series of our time.
If you are a UK resident you can click on the link below to stream the iconic TV series, The World at War. The combination of WW2 survivors testimonies, contemporary film footage, evocative music and unmatched narrative by Laurence Olivier make it unique.

My X account was hacked recently. I lost access and control for some weeks. Eventually X reinstated me but I lost all of my followers. Most are unknowingly following the old account. I am reassembling my followers here. Could I ask for this to be RT to inform the X community pse.

In my view, AI isn’t to be blamed here - it’s the human creator that simply hasn’t bothered to fact check. The ‘story’ is about him as a ‘Captain’, the image title is ‘Sergeant’ and in the photo he has ‘Major’ crowns. It’s lazy history, made for clicks.

It's that time of year when many of reflect on Operation Market Garden and the men that fought to secure more than 20 bridges that XXX Corps needed to reach the prize of Arnhem road bridge. Personally, I will remember the Glider Pilots that I had the privilege to know as friends.
I loved doing this podcast with @LydiaJane13, give it a listen 😎
