Review: New book on the U2 super motorglider

It has been tough wondering why the USA had such a problem with tourists
when all they do over here is get in the way with enormous cameras and
fill up the hotels. Not a single bomb.

The last eight years must have been tough on you. I think
we've got it fixed now.

At least, during a drowth, you're not in danger of being drownded...

Fixed? During the next four years at least, I'm afraid we're about to find
out what "tough" really is.

Or the measure of elevation known as "heigth". How on earth can
height be pronounced heigth?

Since by definition half of everybody IS dumber than average, heigth
easily fits in alongside breadth and width. Never misunderestimate the
power of stupidity!

Oh, now! First off, it is heighth. That is old-English, for those of you
who didn't take your degrees in the humanities or read much in the King
James Bible.

Here is its historical lineage.

But what about the ORIGINAL super motorglider, the Messerschmitt Me
163 Komet! The brochure might read:
- Super climb rate (3.5 kilometers per minute) gets you to 40,000 feet
in 3 minutes.
- High Vne (700 mph (1,100 km/h)), great for those Andes or Sierra
wave days
Snip
With wood-n-fabric wings, no less!
