What if we ignored N. Africa and the MTO? by
ArtKramr
What then? The war in central Europe (ETO) could have gotten our full
resouces, D Day would have been a year earlier and the war would have been
over a lot sooner, German troops in No. Africa and the MTO would have simply
been isolated and would died on the vine. Why not?

Bill McClain
Having read the latest flap about the President's days flying in the
ANG, I wondered what flying the F-102 was like - that's what I'd ask
him if I met him. Back then, before redundant flight-control
computers made the human pilot a voting member of a committee, how
hard was it to control a...

[OT] Nothing Learned From History by

From a blog I frequent... interesting parallel, perhaps, especially if
you compare the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Kuwait with Hitler's
pre-1939 maneuvering?

Hitler, neutralized the Nazi party, and dismantled the...

George Patton Jr is not George Patton III by
ArtKramr
Not by a long shot. In fact nowhere close. And it is disengenious to say Patton
said it and then when challenged say, "Oh not that Patton". There is only ONE
PATTON.And another Patton can't be substituted for him. At least not to those
who fought in WW II.

An aeroplane that can stand still in air by
Chandresh Prakash
Hi,
Is there an aeroplane that can stand still in mid-air ?
I used to think that SU - 30 could do it. Is that true ?
I found no evidence on a google web/groups search.
Thanks,
