Stretching WW2 Designs by
JDupre5762
I have been wondering why were so few WW2 aircraft designs "stretched" in order
to get more performance or payload? I know of the FW 190D which was stretched
in the aft fuselage section in order to compensate for the installation of Jumo
V 12 engine. Could other designs have benefitted from the...

B-29 tail markings by
Peter Twydell
Is it OK to post an aviation-related question in this NG and not mention
B*sh or K*rry?
The Times published a review last week about a book covering the allied
crossing of the Rhine in 1945. The accompanying picture, captioned as

Armed forces of an independent Scotland by
phil hunt
There's recently been speculation in the media that UK defence cuts
ewill result in some or all of Scotland's infantry regiments being
disbanded. If Scotland became an independent state, what
sort of armed forces should it have -- if you were appointed
Scottish minister of defence, what would you...

Hey, Germany Invented It... Face It by
Erich Adler
I see that no civil discussion can take place here despite the fact
that you "adults" claim to cherish military aviation. So why all the
fuss about German aircraft, jets or otherwise?

whenever history is talked about in regards to...

aircraft (any country) have NOT been used in their intended roles in
an actual shooting war (or police action, or soccer riot, or whatever

Abject surrender by
Tony
Well, we now have the first surrender in the War on Terror. Spain has
surrendered to Al Quada and will remove its troops from Iraq.
Do the Spanish really think that will be Al Quada's last demand?
