Q&A - Need your Input

Hey,

For a while now I have been thinking of relaunching a Patreon exclusive Q&A format on the channel and for this I would like to have your input. While I generally like the format, the main problem in the past has been that not enough questions were submitted to make dedicated videos in a consistent manner, and that overlal interest seem to be low. As you can imagine, if I relaunch...

Hey,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the summery days now that we are half way through this year!

As mentioned previously, for months...in fact more than a year, I had to postpone one museum trip after the other due to Covid restrictions. I was thus unable to produce any Inside The Cockpit videos during this time, but thankfully this has recently changed (somewhat).

In the upcoming episode on the Battle of Midway, my 'Task force' counters could use an update! As you can see in the picture below, the work in process icons for the US fleet already features a USN Yorktown-class carrier but the Imperial Japanese Navy has a placeholder (same Yorktown class).
