Take it easy, Kai....I'm still around.;) And many thanks for your efforts !
To be fair, I didn't actually say that it was 'irrelevant', just rather superseded by the many years of research, fresh documentary evidence, etc...
Seeing the title of this thread immediately had me reaching for my copy of 'Glasgow's Fighter Squadron' by F G Nancarrow, published by Collins in...
This one does seem strange - I can't find it anywhere except as a Kindle script. I can't trace any reviews, nor does it seem to be available in...
I have to bow before the in-depth knowledge demonstrated by the 'lawyer specializing in crash litigation' quoted by the Cleveland Daily Banner in...
That is interesting. Some years ago I picked about in a large pile of rubble adjacent to the former US 9th AF airbase at Willingale in Essex....
The 493rd operated from Debach in Suffolk - just for interest, here's a pic I took from the derelict tower at Debach nearly 30 years ago... [IMG]...
I'm not comfortable with speculating on causes at a time like this, but should point out that although many multi-engine WWII aircraft could fly...
Very bad news. Fatalities Reported After Vintage B-17 Flying Fortress Crashes at Connecticut Airport

I saw this story in the news yesterday and was so utterly disgusted that I couldn't bring myself to mention it here.
OK - there was activity that night ; 39 aircraft were sent to Dunkirk and 4 Bristol Blenheims were 'intruding'. It's frustrating, but that is all...
This probably isn't too much help, but Middllebrook's 'Bomber Command War Diaries' shows that the target for 24th April 1942 was Flushing docks,...
The problem there could be - which bombers ? After all, Mosquito design commenced in 1939 and the prototype flew in January '41 ( and it was...
As with so many things today, the maker seems to be trying to provide simple answers to extremely complex questions - the result sounds impossibly...
Good points from Carronade. I'd only make the small observation again that actually, although many twin-engine aircraft were relatively easy to...
Fair points. Area- or saturation-bombing depended on concentration of dropped explosive in as short a time as possible and also a 'mix' of HE and...
The only thing I can add to this - and I very much regret that I can't recall which book I read this in - was that a large quantity of these cubes...
