Someone tried to insult me by saying I was in the same class as Henriques. I am proud to be in his class. It is a very small class of a select chosen few. Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer

Excuse me please, but what frontline aircraft and weapons do each of these nations possess in the event of another Arab-Israeli war? Do either of them have anything remotely as good as the Israelis? I know Syria has a bunch of different MiGs and Iran has a mix of MiGs and left-over F-4s and...

I had a wound over my eyebrow which required six stitches while serving in Viet Nam and I didn't get a purple heart. I think the fact that Kerry's PH was issued in spite of the fact that his lesser wound resulted from misemployment of his own weapon indicates that I should have received the PH as...

Hey Gang: So with all of the recent anonymous smear campaigns- unsubstantiated, "howler" type accusations- you know, the ones from anonymous posters with all of the ~~~ symbols etc. . . . .. . . does anyone want to take up a rational, fact based discussion of the premise that "both sides do it" ...

Does anybody know what it was (I'm asking strictly about planes that saw combat, not the "blueprint superfighters")?

On an earlier thread, some despicable mysogynist wondered whether a female suicide bomber got the 72 virgins issued to martyrs in heaven, which led some other lowlife to speculate that instead she might be multiplied into the 72 virgins. Well, further to those thoughts, here's a note from this...

It might help to note that Arsenal aircraft are almost always forgotten when WW2 aircraft are mentioned. It is little known that the VG 30 attained 500 mph in a dive between 13,125 and 6,260 ft in July 1939*- before the Corsair hit 400 mph in Oct 1940. Arsenal then tried to produce the VG 33...

I have often wondered. Given a 24 hour advanced notice that an attack was eminent in 72 hours or less, what would have been the outcome at Pearl Harbor? Say on dec 6, Pearl was given intel that an attack would come anytime in the next 72 hours. What could have been done differently to affect the...

http://w3.kill-9.com/rpg-man.mpg There is an mpeg file circulating around the net, showing a guy aiming a rocket launcher at ??? and I was curious if anybody else sees the same things that I do. Contrary to popular opinion, I believe all shots that were fired at this guy were fired from behind.

I think it will lose any fight against a French Mirage, because the French planes are much superior.

I've been looking through Shlomo Aloni's Osprey book on Israeli F-4 Phantom aces, and I note that around the time of the '73 war when they want to carry AIM-9s, they either 1. don't carry any A/G stores on that pylon (when carrying two AIM-9D/Gs on the shoulder mounts), or 2. only carry a single...

Can someone suggest a nice book on Russian fighters and maybe bombers? I'm looking for lots of technical detail. Best would be discussions on why they made the design decisions they chose. -Thanks
