Quillen: Use of 'sticks' or a bipod to steady your shot is, to me, the mark of a more conscientious hunter... ie. one that knows what he is...
A hunters' first and foremost primary goal is a clean-kill. It appeared to me that the lion was well within range, and no excuse for not dropping...
How interesting. I'm reading Ken Follett's non-fiction novel "On Wings of Eagles." On the inside cover-sheet: "There were TWO major...
The Grumman F3F DASH 2 added a supercharged Wright R-1820 Cyclone. I seem to recall reading that it was either more manueverable... or a faster...
I think Rudel went through more than one back-seat gunner in the course of the war. I'm thinking "three" off the top of my head. He was shot-up...
Yes Ricky, I have to agree. It was ALL about "saving face." I've also read of a plot by the "militarists" who insisted the Emperor should...

sinissa: The Fletcher-class of USN Destroyers were some of the finest of their kind to see action in the entire war. The Iowa-class battleships,...
Simon nailed it. Type VII and IX U-boats were no match for the comfort of the USN Gato-class subs. They were much roomier and even incorporated...
... or a septic-tank for that matter. :eek: Tim
Haul his sorry-butt down to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Florida. Bind him tightly and gag him so he doesn't scare small children. Make...
A female, Russian sniper... with PMS. Armed and dangerous would be an understatement. :evil: Tim
White is technically considered--in the art-world-- as a "tint." Black is a "shade." Red or yellow is a "color." :wink: Tim
Johnny Horton was "The Man." Some of his other hits include... -Johnny Reb -Battle of New Orleans -North To Alaska not to mention... -I...
woody: The story, as I recall, was that the Canadian aviation industry was thought to have been penetrated by Soviet "moles" who were sending the...
