New Year Update
Added 2019-01-03 15:57:19 +0000 UTCHey all,
I hope all of you had a good Christmas and a fantastic start into 2019. For myself, it has been a bit of a choppy transition, after getting hit hard with some likeness of the flu around the 26th of December, knocking me out cold pretty much until two days ago. That was fun.
Anyway, with that nearly overcome, I am back in action, both at the office writing on my doctoral project (that will go into the necessary upgrade phase, in which I can hopefully prove to the Department that it stands on two feet, soon) and working for the channel.
As for the TBD-1 Devastator project, I keep running into a wall when it comes to this aircraft. Nothing that would hamper the making of the video - that is already being worked out - but after chasing obscure references to specific, even more obscure equipment, my hunt has not yielded anything tangible. It is likely that what I need lies in some half-forgotten archival folder in the US, so nothing to be done for now.
Next to this video, I am currently working on something of a surprise video on a late-war German jet and a 'podcast'-type release with Justin on plane designs. Later on in March, we will probably also be having another collaboration video with another channel, but more on that later.
Over the past weeks, I have also been asked if I have an alternative to Patreon for support. I understand and share the hesitation many now have when it comes to this platform. Yet, currently no viable platform exists that I can throw my weight behind even although I would prefer to diversify the range of support options. The one alternative that I attempted, SubscribeStar, turned out to be a bust. However, should it interest you now or in the future, there is a direct support option available here: https://www.paypal.me/BismarckYT
If you have any questions, let me know as per usual

2019-01-13 00:07:38 +0000 UTCHi, Bis, Thanks for explaining. Maybe it was "We don't specifically forbid anyone from tattoing hate speech onto shaved kittens, but we're booting this dirtbag." Or maybe it really was uncalled for, and by their own agreement, not allowed. Either way, I'm not going to punish faultless creators by quitting the platform that supports them so well.

2019-01-12 23:51:23 +0000 UTCHey Bill, Patreon provides a fantastic platform in itself! Yet over the last few weeks they also suspended the account of a YouTuber for reasons that actually fall outside their terms of service. Nevermind who it happened to or for what, the fact that they kicked someone off their platform for something that they don't account for in their own terms of service is worring. After all, terms of services are binding for both parties and to know they themselves seemingly do not observe them is suboptimal.

2019-01-12 19:00:44 +0000 UTCI don't know anything about something wrong with Patreon. I know creators who credit Patreon support with saving their opportunity to do their creative work.
