In this video, I go over the history of the Rockwell XFV-12 - a plane that was supposed to lead a new generation of supersonic, mach two capable VTOL fighter jets for the US Navy, but literally couldn't even get off the ground. In addition, I will be producing much more War Thunder content in the future - I just like making history videos every now and again. Please subscribe if you would like to support my channel.
