Vicente Vazquez
Just found this out.
Type "Miserabel failure" on Google search and the first result you get is
.... the "Biography of President George W. Bush " at www.whitehouse.gov .
Strangely, neither the word "miserable" nor "failure" show up on the pages's
text. That's weird ... :-)

Why were the George and Jack so slow? by
old hoodoo
It seems like,with available hp the WWII George and Jack should have been
faster (specs on new a/c). Both are commonly referred to as being in the 360

bladed props. Bad airfoils? Too much frontal cross section? ...

google lousy military/history search engine by
old hoodoo
I often see people complaining that they google and can't find stuff.
Yahoo has always been a reliable search engine for military/history stuff.
No one ever seems to gripe about yahoo the same way.

military humour by

Do the RAF or MoD publish a list of dates when they are doing
exercises around their bombing range, etc near Ferryside, Carmarthen,
South Wales?
I can't see anything listed on the various sites, but maybe I'm
looking in the wrong place.
thanks

A note from the home front by
John Keeney
Seems my niece's husband will be home from Iraq Saturday.
He's had a stress fracture in his back and muscle spasms to
go along with it and is coming back on a medical.
Member of the 101st and is in Kuwait awaiting his flight home.
She is, needless to say, pleased.
