Ran across two great aviation books on http://www.amazon.com that may be of interest. One is entitled THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE BLUE GOOSE. It`s about B-24 bomber that simply disappeared from Fort Myers Army Air Base, Florida in 1942. In 1977, after the death of a former Luftwaffe pilot a bizarre...

In a white paper from the Lexington Institute, it is claimed (most likely by Loren Thompson, the Lexingtin Institute defense analyst and resident Raptor cheerleader) that the F/A-22 has an Infrared Search and Track capability. Specifically, on page 8 of the attachment below, the following...

I can't seem to find any confirmation, either way, on whether the Ki-45 at Garber is a complete aircraft or just the fuselage missing tail section and wings/engines. The fuselage appears to be in great shape and has been photo'd several times, but fuselage only.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the death this week of Fred L Whipple, reportedly the inventor of "Window" (aluminum strips cut to a length designed to confuse radar). Indirectly, he probably saved a good number of lives in WWII.
