Pearl Harbor Defense by
Dave
I have always wondered how the attack would have played out if the Americans
had correctly interpreted the reading from the Army radar site on the north
tip of Oahu.
The attacking Japanese planes were picked up at a range of 132 miles at 7
o'clock Sunday morning. The radar operators phoned the...

Here's a 1946 look at the German wartime secrets- just a "fraction" of
the thousands of tons of technical documents stored at Wright Field.
Have fun being in denial.
And to make matters worse, Keith 'ol boy, poor Britain won...

What if the germans... by
Charles Gray
had actually put a U.S. style R&D system in place during WWII, and
instead of coming up with (however pretty they look on paper) dozens
of designs that never made it beyond wind tunnal designs and focused
on say two or three fighter designs.
For example, if they'd pushed through the first jet...

Following an investigative teev program it appears US military pilots are

Question about the F-22 and it's radar. by

Gotta question about the following:

to spend $11.7 billion to introduce air-to-ground capabilities in the
F/A-22. Roche says planned upgrades, including a new radar and
small-diameter bomb, are budgeted and would cost less than...

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a "standard" airspeed

What would be sensible strategies/weapons for a middle-ranking
country to employ if it thought it is likely to be involved in a war
against the USA or other Western countries, say in the next 10
years?
I think one strategy would be to use large numbers of low cost

Why a Swept-Wing? by
James Dandy
Pardon my ignorance on all matters concerning modern aviation but just
why the hell would you want to sweep a wing forward?
Doesn't that make any aircraft unstable? If so, why would any pilot
feel safe in it?
Has anyone ever made one work?

Best dogfight gun? by
Bjørnar Bolsøy
It takes time to wind up and has a small projectile, so how does
the M61 really stack up against, say, the BK27 og Giat 30mm as
far as dogfighting is concerned? Even with the PGU28?
Is shot density the primary factor to look at?
