Guy Alcala
I was reading Martin Middlebrooke's book on the
Regensburg-Schweinfurt raid, and in it there's a photo of a
group of Luftwaffe pilots sitting around a table playing
cards. The caption says they're members of JagdGruppe 50,
and the photo was taken at Wiesbaden. The guy almost

Does China have a plan? by
T3
Given the USA's dependence on space based assets for communication, control
as well as surveillance and targeting not to mention what else we are not
aware of (black ops), it would seem that the Chinese have robust projects to

FORMATIONS, BOMB RUNS AND RADIUS OF ACTION by
ArtKramr
FORMATIONS, BOMB RUNS AND RADIUS OF ACTION
Formation flying burned fuel. Lots of fuel. And the tighter the formation the
the more fuel burned. And the further back you were in the formation the more
fuel burned. Look at it this way. The lead plane set throttles for the desired

marlin aerial machine gun spad? by

I have run across information that the Spads of the 1st Pursuit group were
fitted with Marlin machine guns beginning September 30 1918. I assume the
conversion was fairly quick as 1/2 of the groups planes were taken out of
line to get the guns and I assume that the 2nd half was fitted as soon...

Does anybody know exactly which units are going to the Solomon Islands?
The Defence media releases haven't contained much detail, other than the
Australian infantry contingent will be from the 3rd Brigade. The

Air Force Uniform Envy by
Thomas Schoene
The Air Force just can't stop monkeying with its uniforms, can it. Last
time, they wanted to look more like the Navy (or maybe the airlines).
This time, it looks like the Air Force has a severe case of uniform envy
