I have no doubt! This was basically the agency that proposed to kill Fidel Castro with exploding cigars!
My father's letters to his parents while he was an officer cadet in the USAAF. He took gunnery training and was training as a navigator when war...
I think you were referring to Sonderkommando ELBA. Technically, they weren't suicide missions. Pilots were trained to hit places on the American...
Back to Dresden: The only real, functioning, military thing about Dresden that I have ever read about was its rail yard(s). The were functioning...
Huh! German fighter pilots were defending their country against Allied bombers. Perhaps, we could just say "aerial gunnery" and leave it at that.
At the time, there probably was little sympathy from the British public but from what I've read, public opinion changed after the war when the...
There's a couple of points that are often overlooked. One, the war was almost over, so the bombing wasn't going to shorten the war even a little...
The straight attack from 6:00 was indeed a non-habit forming maneuver. That's why the LW fighters came in from other angles. They didn't have to...
If you read the German accounts, they suggest that the hail of fire from the bombers was quite effective in keeping many fighter pilots from...
Before and during WW2 a "cruiser" could be anything from a gunboat sized craft up to the aforementioned Alaskas. It was a catchall type of class....
Aluminum not only increased the power of an explosive, it added an extra dose of heat. "Thermobaric" is the scientific term, I believe. You end up...
Who knows what "logic" bureaucrats use! Perhaps the missing numbers were for design concepts that were never pursued.
If you find out what that story is all about, I'd be really interested--or failing that, at least what the artist was smoking!
The one that shows Japanese solders herding captured German KM prisoners has my curiosity up!
Sgt. Rock comics? I remember 'em. Got a little tired of the good Sgt. knocking off tigers with his Thompson. Towards the end of the run the story...
RE: "Rommel had no prior experience commanding a division. Neither did he have any direct experience with the new blitzkrieg operations that had...
I'll believe we'll get a new rifle/cartridge when it happens. So far, nothing new that's come up has been so superior to the AR that it would...
I believe later versions of the AK did have a stamped receiver.
The AR design is very adaptable and lends itself to morphing into different shapes and types. It's the most "modular" of all the modern battle...
Probably right---unfortunately. Plus, what would happen if Russia jumped in on China's side?
