F-102... German Origin

Name ONE thing Lippisch invented. The flying wing? Lilienthal developed them as
gliders in the 1800s. Oh gee, he's German too so that doesn't count. Actually
almost every one of the early glider designers, including the Wrights, made at
least one flying wing. Ailerons? Try Glenn Curtiss.

Dan,

Here's a whole bunch of things Lippisch pioneered:

Only some ex-USAF clod would try to defame Dr. Alexander Lippisch.

No need for name calling. I didn't "defame" him. I simply pointed out he never
invented anything. He simply improved on other people's designs or used
existing technology in a new direction.

On the other hand, YOU were the one telling us how much modern aircraft owe to
him. You assume that, because he wad German, he must have been the source of
all things extraordinary in the field of aeronautics.

Almost every thing you post in this newsgroup is about how great the Germans,
especially the Nazis, were/are.

If you adore the Germans so much why do you not move there?

Now stop with the name calling. It only proves you are in marron's, petukhov's,
tarver's and grantland's class.

Two can play your childish game of categorizing and pigeon-holing
people, danny. Fact is, I put you in the same "category" as Tarver and
Grantland (I don't even bother to read Petukhov's stuff) as I have
effortlessly and soundly defeated all three of you psychotic trolls.
Debating you is like having a slap fighting contest against a man with
no arms and like I said, whether on the ground or in the sky, I soar
miles above you, sergeant.

Pot kettle, kite boy.

At least Dan has been up close to an operational fighter.

Isn't there an untralight newsgroup where your posts might be topical,
Marron?

We actually consider "kite" to be an endearing term for our fabulous
little airplanes. Try again.

Dan who?

Isn't there an newsgroup for folks like you whom have had a lobotomy,
splappy?

The irony is wonderful.

_Please_, Dan, don't give him ideas - we already have too many Nazi lovers
over here :-(.

If he were in Germany, wouldn't there be a law against his posts?

No, because he does neither explicitly deny the holocaust nor actively
promote NAZI symbols or slogans (which is indeed illegal to do in public in
Germany). Apart from that, it's perfectly legal to be a NAZI fan and say so
- one of the drawbacks of a free society ;-).
