operational Rafales with the French Military.

Aircrew casualities by
ArtKramr
The common wisdom in WW II was that tail gunners and bombardiers suffered the
highest casualties among bomber aircrews. Anyone have any actual statistics on
aircrew casualties by position in USAAC bombers?

Area bombing is not a dirty word. by
ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the
original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50)
mission
over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it
blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...

Radio - foul language by
M. J. Powell
Another newsgroup has got on to the subject of foul language in war
films, usually Army.
I mentioned that the radio language during the Battle of Britain was so
bad that High Command wanted to remove WAAFS from all rooms where the
radio transmissions could be heard.
This is not depicted in films...

Countering Widespread Ignorance About the National Guard by
Rick Folkers
This post is for Art Kramer and his ilk who should ask questions instead of

I have just about had it with the bull**** spread by people ignorant of the
National Guard and its roles during the 60's through the 80's. My

EU Heavy Bomber ideas? by
David E. Powell
If the EU is looking for more reach without carriers, how about heavy
bombers? Certainly something on the order of B-1B as far as airframe might
be a goal, or something less radical. It depends on their budget and
requirements, I guess. From bases in Europe they could cover much of Africa,

Future military fighters and guns - yes or no ? by

Hi,
I'm interested in canvassing opinions regarding the inclusion of a gun
on future military aircraft. If you listen to some of the blurb out
