From http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,556343,00.html?test=latestnews Monday, September 28, 2009 A skull long believed to be that of Adolf Hitler actually belonged to a woman, according to an American scientist who has taken DNA samples from it. The skull was taken by Soviet...

I call BS!!! The Netherlands' Neils Bohr had come the closest in Europe to having an active pile, but the SAS had explosives rigged underground to blow it went active. France had their scientists, but definitely was not "the most advanced" Even Japan was further ahead than France (thanks to...

BTW Eric Brown didn't even know proper English - The He 219 moniker of "Uhu" was not an "onomatopoeic sobriquet" as he so eloquently mispoke in his book... This type of erroneous use of big words to make yourself seem better than everyone else places your personal opinion under suspicion IMHO...

It looks very similar to the Hs 123, perhaps a Hs126?

The story states the chase plane was another G.1...

The He 177 was not bad in performing its role - it had reliability/maintenance issues. This is a case of a capable performer, and I might add - as the only heavy bomber/dive bomber of the war, it out-performed all Allied heavy bomber/dive bomber aircraft... Oh yeah, the Allies never tied the...

Beautiful model. Great job!

Excellent post, renrich.

OK, in an effort to scientifically figure out this "Best aircraft of whatever" threads, I propose a conglomerate standard to measure by. Here's how it works: 1. Determine criteria to measure aircraft. Unit cost, performance, firepower, armor, etc. 2. Associate a value with each...

If you tap your finger on the port next to the laser the air pressure on the sensor will trigger the laser... You don't need to fire the weapon. Kind of awkward to use, but it works...

I think BigZ and Soundbreaker Welch are closest. Ever since Dunkirk, the French government in exile was wailing for the "Second Front" to be opened, and they weren't buying the Allied air offensive in the west as an official front. So the Allied leaders had to balance the French whining, the...
