i should ask it in one of the p-61 topics,but you might know it- what caused the combat loss of 25 black widows? combat means to me ,flak,or enemy a/c ,not operational like crashes or accidents. since it was introduced very late and faced almost no opposition at all, it been told on many...

thanks alot,thats exactly what i been lookin for since years!!

i'd be interested in the numbers of fighters and bombers lost (USAAF) per type like P-39 P-40 P-51 etc. anyone sources or links please?

i voted for the Nelson, eventhough a direct duel with the Bismarck-class could be interesting. The Hood had no chance because of the lack of thick armour, but Nelson/Rodney may have. they are my favourite battleships beside Bismarck/Yamato/Iowa-class

For the first time in my countries history, world's largest plane landed on Ferihegy (means Frankie Mountain :)) Airport . It started from Gostomel airport near Kiev and at saturday in the morning,after 90minutes of flying, it landed on the larger airstrip in Budapest. Many preparations have to...

To the very first post : generally,bombers met in Europe a heavy resistance (if they met any in the last years) and in Japan rarely. But a Randy or Nick was not less armed as any of the german planes

nicely said Matt,completely agreed. Utopia is simply not possible,because of the nature of mankind (sadly) . But because of the reasons and possible reactions, the best way , a quick,surgeon-like demonstration of power to show them their hopeless situation and cripple their military and nuke...
