F-14 on the History Channel's "Modern Marvels" by Brian J. McCann

Ta-152H at low altitudes by N-6
For the experts: As made obvious by its wings, the Ta-152H was designed as a high-altitude interceptor. But I am interested in how the Ta-152H handled at low-to-medium altitudes. How did the Ta-152H compare with the Fw-190D at such alts? I suppose the ultra-long wings of the Ta considerably...

Mission 115 by Hap
Today is the anniversary of Mission 115. An insightful account of the background of Mission 115 is "Black Thursday" by Martin Cadin. Although I read it more than thirty years ago, its impact is still fresh. Thanks to those pilots and aircrews who fought then for freedom today.
