Max Cleland is CBS source for memogate by
Bob Coe
Here's the latest:
Bill Burkett says he faxed the memos to Max Cleland to use in the
campaign against Bush. Cleland then gave them to Kerry people,
but it appears they didn't want anything to do with it, and he then
turned to fellow Texans Dan Rather and Bob Schiefer to handle
the...

Punctured pressure cabin. by
M. J. Powell
There has been a bit of a furore over here concerning the new US
requirement to airlines to supply air marshals when requested. The
concern is mainly over the possible puncture of a pressure cabin.
What do readers think is the result of decompression via a bullet hole?

Open Letter to Kofi Annan and George Walker Bush by
Matt Wiser
Ramsey Clark? Saddam's most persistent apologist-anything he writes/says is
heavily suspect. He even offered to defend the Butcher of Baghdad at his
upcoming trial. Mr. Clark would be advised to collect his fee in advance.
And get ready to defend himself on charges of aid and comfort to the...

WWII 20mm cannon in planes by
zxcv
It seems to me that the Germans and Japanese had a lot more cannon in their
planes than the Americans who seemed to rely almost totally on .50 machine
guns.
Why was that? What was the rate of fire or the 20mm cannons and what type
of projectiles did they fire?

US kill loss ratio versus Russian pilots in Korean War? by
Rats
US F86 sabres shot down a lot of Mig 15s in the Korean War. The ratio was
around 8 - 1. I recently watched a documentary about the confrontation
between these two planes. Apparently they were quite evenly matched with the
F86 having a slight overall advantage. In the end the high ratio...

F-32 vs F-35 by
The Raven
We all know that the X-35 won the JSF contest which is now in the strategic
development phase as the F-35. At the time the competition winner was
announced (LM) I wondered why Boeing would scrap their whole concept rather
than push forward with it.
For various political reasons Boeing could have...

Cobalt by
Dan Welch
Hello,
from reading in the threads relating to nuclear war in the '80s, they
mention "cobalt weapons". Can anyone explain what these are? I very vaguely
remember a mention to them a book once but have no real idea.

Change the rules for the National Guard.? by
ArtKramr
How about we fix it so that in case of national emergency the guard goes FIRST
before the regular troops. Great idea huh? Think we would still get everyone
flocking to the National Guard in that case? I know Bush would have been first
in line to join up.. Right?

F4U inverted gull wings by
Bob M.
I recently visited the Udvar-Hazy facility and received the usual
story about how the Corsair got its inverted gull wings, i.e. to
accomodate the 13 ft. prop which, in turn, was necesitated by the
engines power. However, the Hellcat used essentially the same engine,
and IIRC also used a 13 ft....

Red Baron vs. Rickenbacker? by
Gregorso
Did the Red Baron ever engage in battle with Eddie Rickenbacker? I
have seen conflicting stories on various websites. Some say
Rickenbacker shot the Baron down, ... some say the Baron died before
Rickenbacker saw action.
Also, is it true that Rickenbacker's parents (or one of them)...
