Flyboys? by
Cub Driver
I just picked up a copy of Flyboys at BJ's Wholesale Club. Read the
first two chapters last night.
I was amazed that the author uses the term Flyboys throughout the
book, or at least throughout the first chapter. I'd assumed it was
just a cute title, but no: "Flyboys were over Chici Jima"...

Hiroshima-- are we projecting backwards? by
Charles Gray
Just my thought-- is it that Hirosshima wsa so bad, (and it wasn't
worse than Tokyo), or are we simply projecting the emotional and moral

How many rivets to drill out? by
George R. Gonzalez
Thinking back about that B29 on the greenland ice, and how maybe it *could*
have been recovered,
I've pulled together these facts:
The C-130 can land on unimproved runways.
The interior space is about 9x10x40 feet, about 20,000 pounds max load.
The B-29 fuselage is 9.5 feet maximum diameter.
