I have nothing intelligent to offer to this thread, but it sure is interesting. Thanks, Beezy, for starting it.

There are good Youtube channels that, while not perfect, have errors that are usually corrected rather than bald mistruths uttered by someone who should know better.

I wonder if any got captured and interrogated ...

Yeah, my objection is to the word "mafia". It implies a conspiracy to push agenda with no regard for the men at the time dying. USAAC was certainly mistaken in not funding DTs, but they did not bar them.

I was wondering that myself. After a little digging I found this: During the Wednesday Rafale mission, flight tracking platforms showed an unidentified military aircraft loitering in airspace over southeast Romania, flying at speeds and altitudes typical for a long-range reconnaissance...

It is. Unless the patty is made fresh at the time of order, and the trimmings are cut fresh daily, a burger is a burger is a burger. InO is no different. Lots of people love it because of the mystique of the secret ordering, but I didn't think it was good enough to bother learning...

Regarding this -- A French Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, escorted by two Dassault Rafale B fighter jets, conducted a surveillance mission over the Black Sea, approaching within 150 kilometers of the Crimean Peninsula. The flight was tracked by Flightradar and other aviation monitoring...

I feel the same about In-n-Out. What I love about WB is that I don't have to ask for mustard on my burger, it comes stock.

I don't, but I bet @Geoffrey Sinclair does. Dude has a spreadsheet on everything.

I watched it. The "Bomber Mafia" is the assumed premise and his weak support of that in the past led me to head-scratching and face-palming throughout. He also ignores that P-38s were sent to North Africa because that's where they were needed to cover ground ops, minimizes the mechanical issues...

Russia will draw this out as long as possible before rejecting it on some spurious grounds.

The National Transportation and Safety Board has concluded that the separation distances allowed between helicopter and airplane traffic on the route where an Army helicopter and a commercial passenger jet collided midair on Jan. 29 near Washington "pose an intolerable risk to aviation safety,"...

The captain of the Solong cargo ship arrested after a collision with a tanker in the North Sea is a Russian national, the ship's owner has confirmed. Humberside Police said the 59-year-old man remained in custody after being arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter on Tuesday...

I've seen a couple of forums like this where admin approval shits the bed. Not my problem, I can read unregistered, and they get one less member.
