In a description of an alledged fight between American pilot named Lawrence in a P-38 versus Adolf Galland in a Ta-152 (or was that an FW 190D??), Lawrence mentions a "cloverleaf" maneuver that apparently positioned him well against Galland. From the context of the story, I gather it was...

We all have seen the movies were one pistol shot or what not causes the side of an airliner explode sucking the people, seats, etc. into the void. What would happen in the reality? Let's assume the plane is at the cruising altitude.

Is there a consistent basis for this designation in aircraft armament?

I'm curious how Air Force/Navy pilots get their wings? Do they go to some place like Emory-Riddle and fly Cessna 172s. Do they get instrument ratings in these 172s? What's the transition to 'real iron'? Basically, what's a newly minted Air Force/Navy pilot's logbook look like and where did he...

At Alltel Stadium yesterday, I watched a B-2 bomber do a flyover, and what a site to behold. It's the first time I've seen this aircraft. You could hardly see it as it approached. No sound, but after it passed the stadium it was very loud. Here's a picture of the...

There was a camp in Phoenix- some of the German POWs heard that they were not too far from the Salt River, so they put together some kind of raft and got through the wire. Imagine their disappointment at reaching the rock-strewn ditch that passes for a river in Arizona. Incidentally, they...
