I consumed a LOT of coffee table sized books about military aviation in the 1980's. Remaindered books, less than $10. Loved them. A snap shot of history, now.
And back when the history channel had history, they'd sometimes do similar stuff, but ad-laden and light on detail.
Well YouTube solves the lack of detail, and scratches that itch I still have.
For instance, I knew what the Blinder was, but I had no idea it was a vodka truck. The coffee table book missed that and the History channel was too busy selling me hand lotion and cellular plans.

The channel is still kinda new. So now is the time to get in on the ground floor.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
