MiG-19 Farmer: The Forgotten Supersonic Killer
Not A Pound For Air To Ground
@notapoundAbout
As a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Poor eyesight, risible spatial awareness and an inability to understand even basic instructions knocked that idea on the head. But even as my career went down a different path, I retained an analyst's interest in aviation. In particular I like to try and understand the military-industrial systems in which aircraft were developed and the doctrines and concepts that governed their employment. This channel is a way of getting ideas and research from my head into some kind of organised form. I really hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoy making them. But please remember that this is my passion and my hobby. I am not a professional documentary maker and I am at best an amateur historian. Please forgive the inevitable mistakes!

Video Description
The MiG-19 is often dismissed as a dangerous, unreliable stop-gap. The real story is far more interesting. This video uncovers the frantic Cold War engineering race that produced an aircraft capable of extraordinary performance and terrifying behaviour in equal measure.
