The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered

Some viewers noted that I use the term “Flight Officer”, the proper title is “Flying Officer.” In the introduction I say that Herbert Pustkuchen was responsible for sinking HMS Penelope. Actually, a submarine under his command damaged, but did not sink, HMS Penelope. I mention pilot Gordon Hyams — he was a pilot with the RNAS, not the RAF, which had not yet been established. At 7:43 I mention that War Order 483 was issued May 1, 1941 — that was a misspeak — the order was issued May 1, 1943. I apologize for the errors.
