Somebody on another forum was trying to convince people that because of the gasoline shortages during WW-II that there were quiet a few aircraft that actually used diesel fuel. I know that people are playing with that today, but was it really used in aviation back then? Thanks, Coug

I just have a thought of the above subject. Say you're the planner for an RN size navy, which one would you prefer, 4 x small CVBG or 1 x BIG CVBG? Say it's all for offensive purpose and not for homeland defence. I think it equates well in terms of tonnage and man power, but how about power...

DefenseDaily Navy Grounds 104 Hornets To Inspect For Airframe Cracking As a result of an emerging safety of flight issue with legacy Boeing F/A-18A-D Hornets, the Navy is grounding 104 of the aircraft after inspections revealed that cracking has occurred earlier than predicted in some airframes,...

This time of the year I usually ask the regular readers of this newsgroup which aircraft they flew years ago they'd most like to see with a newer engine. Always worthy of many fine comments. This time a slight revision. You are recalled to active duty for combat overseas. You will return with a...

Can anyone tell me the system by which USN Aircraft Carrier deployments were named or numbered during the Viet Nam era?; and if so, what was the name by which the last 'carrier deployment was known? Thanks for any info.

Is the next generation of carriers going to launch planes differently? ie Mag Lev technology? When is it due out and is it still considered expirmental?
