    Favourite campaign/battle in the 'West' WW2

    I think the italian and sicilian campaigns are worth studying. And the ardennes offensive is also to be noted with joachim pieper at the tip of the thrust.

    Good ww2 aircraft books

    Hmmm... I would like to recommend Bill Gunston's The Illustrated Directory of Fighting Aircraft of World War II. I think its good enough for starters. And its cheaper.

    But, my friend, the question in this thread is: Who was the best German Aircraft Designer? Definitely, Johnson and Kelly shouldn't be mentioned here. Good day!

    Israeli Air Force Ready for Iran's Nuclear Sites

    I'd rather resort to assasination of Iran's leader than by sending multimillion dollars jets inside Iran just to bomb a nuke facility. That way, it's untraceable and inexpensive.

    Greatest WWII Military Commanders: Updated

    Gen. Douglas MacArthur is, for me, the greatest WW2 general. With fewer casualties of troops in comparison to eisenhower, montgomery, patton, and even rommel, with even fewer war materials used, MacArthur is definitely the best WW2 general.

    Worst aircraft of WW2?

    The worst? I'd say it's the Polikarpov I-15. 2,200 were lost in the first week of German invasion of Russia in June 1941.

    Hey, guys! I would like to inform you that i've read this story way back 1992 in a Reader's Digest special edition book published circa late 1950's to early 1960's. It's not a magazine but a small book about 4"x2.5" in size and 3/4"thick. It is one of two stories about WW2 air combats...
