Pearl Harbor Defense by
Dave
I have always wondered how the attack would have played out if the Americans
had correctly interpreted the reading from the Army radar site on the north
tip of Oahu.
The attacking Japanese planes were picked up at a range of 132 miles at 7
o'clock Sunday morning. The radar operators phoned the...

French block airlift of British troops to Basra by
Michael Petukhov
French block airlift of British troops to Basra 16.09.2003
The French government has told an airline that it is not to ferry
British troops to Basra, a ban that will be seen as reflecting Paris's
opposition to the occupation of Iraq.

What if the germans... by

had actually put a U.S. style R&D system in place during WWII, and
instead of coming up with (however pretty they look on paper) dozens
of designs that never made it beyond wind tunnal designs and focused
on say two or three fighter designs.
For example, if they'd pushed through the first jet...

3(F)Wing RCAF Zweibrucken by

Zweibrucken West Germany? It was the home of RCAF 3(F)Wing in the
1950's-60's later being taken over by the USAF. Who is there now or is it
even a military installation these days? Just curious, as I have many fond
memories of the...

Did the Germans have the Norden bombsight? by
Cub Driver
Reading what appears to be a solid history of FDR and espionage.
Author makes the flat statement that in 1940 someone in the Norden
plant smuggled out the plans, which went to Germany. From these, the
Germans "developed their own bombsight," presumably based on the
Norden. The author points out the...

English volunteer for Franco but since the Condor Legion was...

P-51's in movie "Empire of the Sun" by

I was watching "Empire of the Sun" the other night and near the end some
P-51's attack the Japanese base. What struck me was that the P-51's were
flying in just a few feet above the ground and dropping their bombs. Would
this really have been done? How did the planes keep from blowing...

Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944 by

What sort of problems faced a defender in attempting to intercept and
shoot down night bombers in 1944?
I am interested both over Germany and Britain.
