Soviet Ekranoplan redux, FWIW
[Crossposted r.a.m.n and s.m.n, a) since the Ekranoplan has been
asked about in both groups, and b) since half the show was devoted to the Roosian's "Quebec" submarines] During lunch time this afternoon, The History Channel reran one of their "History Undercover" series shows "Soviet Top Secret Weapons". Half the show was on the '50s era "Quebec" submarines, but the other half had good coverage, including film footage of the Roosian tests, of the development history of the Ekranoplan. As with everything on TV nowadays, a VHS tape of the show is available [50 minutes on tape - presumably no commercials ;-]. http://store.aetv.com/html/product/i...tid=&subcatid= or the shorter tiny.url version: http://tinyurl.com/2cet5 [Surprisingly, priced at $24.95 instead of what I though was the standard, written in concrete, cable-TV price of $19.95 for a one-hour show. :-(] I thought I'd get this on record, and in Google Groups, for the next time someone asks about the Ekranoplan / ground effect aircraft. Feel free to ignore, unless you have something about The History Channel or the A&E cable empire you want to get off of your chest. ;- -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast] |
