Yep, this group is turning alright. Years ago you could guarantee reasoned
questions & answers on military aviation topics. Seems to be 90% off-topic (at
a very rough non-scientific guess).

Any chance of some on-topic chat?

I remember reading stories about the air war in WWI, and I always wondered why
Fokker included a third wing on that unique three-winger fighter the Germans
used and why. I don't believe any other aircraft manufacturer built a line
model with three wings, but I could be wrong about that.

Comments?

PS - Like you, Duncan, I'm tired of having to wade through so much seasonal
political bull**** in RAM in order to read of things military aviation. In the
interests of subject purity, I've given up even commenting on such impure
intrusions on our "raison d'etre" and encourage others to follow my lead. Let's
just ignore that stuff when it shows up and limit our responses to a simple
two-letter "OT" if we feel obliged to say anything at all and then move on.
Most of us have made up our minds already anyway, so look at all the bandwidth
we'll be able to save.
