The History of the Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik │ The Flying Tank │ WW2 Plane History

In this Documentary, I discuss the brief History of the Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik Ground Attacker, The Flying Tank, spanning from its early prototypes to its legacy.

This video was made before I started studying history at University and uses poor methodology. Much of it heavily references Wikipedia. This video is not a reliable source of historical information.

I referenced this video for part of the script:

Military Aviation History - Il-2 Tactics - Shturmovik Ground Attackers in World War 2: https://youtu.be/xgfg1dUB0Gs

If the second half of this video seems rushed, that's because it was, when I opened my premiere last night I got a pop-up saying my license had expired and that this was the last time I could open it, that being said I had to finish it that night. I hope you can understand and I apologize for the decrease in quality.
