Trying to fly these in the game IL2 is a waste of time, they are really crap. I can't believe this was realistic in comparison to other fighters of the time. Anyone know how good the real planes were and/or what their major weaknesses were?

Separation of church and state, anyone? The president doesn't speak for the state in the same way that the Queen of England does, for instance. Abraham Lincoln: ``I have often wished I was a more devout man. Nevertheless, amid the great difficulties of my administration, when I could not see...

The news today about Boeing building the 7E7 and giving the wing to Japan to build sounds like it was taken directly out of the text of Micheal Crichton's book Airframe, where some unscrupulous executives at an ailing aircraft manufacturer give away closely guarded secrets to turn a quick profit at...

The 101st was almost out of food and 30 cal. ammo for their Garands. Many froze to death in their foxholes overnight. It was still snowing. But they never allowed the Germans to take the critical Batogne crossroads. In the meantime at our field we had all our 6x6 with snowplows keeping our runway...

Turkey Dinner Tour Now, http://gc.kls2.com/ says the Great Circle distance KADW-BGW is 6200m, and AF1 has a published range of ~~7300 miles. But Great Circle would have taken them across multiple countries, including those evil fried potato folks; so I'd assume they did not use that...

Damn good post. France actually does help the US - the only non-US planes to drop bombs in Afghanistan were French, and the US now uses a French base in Djibouti. The difference between the french and the Brits is that France offers help on its own terms, while the Brits are basically...

Let's compare and contrast here, shall we? Three years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR has the Germans and Japanese by the throat. Three years after 9/11, Bush 43 allows Al Qaeda to murder American civilians at will. Walt
