The Stirling was not considered by anyone in England a failure. It was made to fit in the hangars at the time and that was why the wings were...
I thought it was really good. It had some humor and even though it was longer than most movies it was never boring. It reminded me a lot of Pulp...
You have to be carefull with Macarthur. Even though he had a big ego and took a lot of personal credit, his island hopping strategy saved a lot of...
The 50 caliber was used on U.S. fighters because of its all around hitting power and reliability. Also much easier to supply one type of gun and...
I believe the first 4 P-80's arived in europe by may 1945 and another going to Italian theater and could have been in squadron service by mid...
The guns except for tail were removed from the B-29 so it could carry even more bombs. LeMay felt the Japanese defences were so weak that they did...

By late 43 and 44 ths PIV was like the me-109, still dangerous but being outclassed. I feel the tiger was a waste of resources. I think germany...
I think MacArthur should have went on the offense rather than stay holed up in Battan. I know he was hoping for reinforcements, but at some pointe...
I have read a lot of the pacific war and the end of the war. There is no doubt we would have invaded and there would have been massive Japanese...
Because of the embargo by the U.S. the Japanese had 2 choices. either pull out of China or go to war to get the oil they needed and they had to...
The wildcat pilots used better tactics and were able to combat the zeros on even terms, but if you go one on one with equal pilots no way is a...
Just found this forum and am excited to join. The zero is not overated, it was the best carrier fighter in the world in 41 and 42. One on one it...
