    How come others get pretty pics and I get a structure photo of a Tomcat when I expected something amazing due to your experience. I have at least 7 airfix Tomcats. Do I sound like born yerterday? I guess I do.

    I figure if it was extremely effective all the ships would be painted up that way.

    "Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (Cherry Blossom) at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Unlike most Ohkas, which were powered by 3x Type 4 Mark 1 Model 20 solid-propellant rocket motors, the Type 22 was powered by an Ishikawajima Tsu-11 motorjet (essentially a piston-powered jet engine)."

    Opinions varied widely without any hard evidence for any position. Better optics in WWII made the point moot.

    "A trio of Women Airforce Service Pilots look over flight plans around the cockpit of a Curtiss A-25A at Camp Davis Army Air Field, North Carolina, circa 1944. General Arnold released a report that revealed 20% of the women flying in 1944 had children under 14, and some 15% had grandchildren."
