THE DAY THE 344TH STOPPED PATTON by
ArtKramr
The Day the 344th Stopped Patton
Patton treasured the German autobahns. To him they were high speed highways

New Airplanes in WWI (ISOT) by
Charles Talleyrand
Lets suppose you get to give a single new airplane design and a single prototype
to a participant of World War One. You can offer the Austro-Hungarians the
design for a B-52 if you wish. However, that might prove a manufacturing

Hiroshima/Nagasaki vs conventional B-17 bombing by
zxcv
Since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were about 10 kilotons and a B-17 had

The Wright Stuff and The Wright Experience by
John Carrier
Over the past couple days I've watched TV stories about a couple of programs
to celebrate the Wright Centennial (Dec 17th) with reenactments of the
