JMO: The Enola Gay and Bockscar are valuable in that they remind us of how any war becomes a vicious cycle, the upgrading of weapons as the war occurs, and the willingness of even the "good guys" to justify increased atrocities to win that war. Atrocities by good guys often occur when the...

The U.S. had a radar guided missile called BAT deployed towards the end of WWII. The source material I've read claim that it sank a Japanese DD, as well as hitting a bridge and it had a ragne of about 20 MI. Forgive me for being suspicious, but that seems like *incredible* performance for a radar...

For a reinactment, lets let Enola Gay drop one more...maybe in the Northwest Area of Pakistan...(we could use one of Pakistan's nukes and justify it as a nuclear test)....maybe we will get lucky. Osama wants nuclear war anyways so lets give him a taste. Think of the backdrop of a nuke with all...

I've found several references to an F-4E unit deployed at Incirlik during DS, but I can't seem to find what they were doing there. All other Phantoms were either taking snapshots or scrapping SAM sites, but that's a job for RF-4C or F-4G types, not the E model. Does anyone here know what they were...

How much of a difference did battle ships and destroyers make in the Pacific battle?? Since the carriers were out to sea when Pearl was attacked, and looking at the day by day reports of the battles, it seems that most damage was done by the planes from the carriers. Torpedo bombers and such. It...

Recently, there were 5 women on Oprah who claim they were rape victims while at the AF academy. I was wondering if this ever happened at USAF OTS in Alabama? I had never heard anything about that while I was there. Then again, someone else tells me that saltpeter was added to the food to make...
