Hello everyone! I am Alex. I have been poking around here and using it some for reference for a couple of years, but never joined. I decided this joint wasn't as uptight as I had previously thought after spending a couple of hours reading in here today, so here I am. I live in the northeast...

My condolences to the people of France. Was watching live feeds on Euronews about the terror attacks in Paris. Once more the "Religion of peace" has reared it's ugly head. As for the dead hostages in the theater, it would seem that the authorities held off too long giving the douche bags time to...

I thought it might be a good idea to have a place for wartime songs that people might like to share

I recently read Classic Wings where one person says that they know of a couple of P-40s, a P-38, Seafire and Corsair aswell as a B24 being broken up in PNG in the last couple of years. I know of a number of wrecks I'd personally love to recover if I had the funds but I know its impossible of...

Today I just happened to notice the join date under my dads picture in my avatar and realized I'd been here five years now. It sure doesn't seem that long. I still remember coming here for the first time looking for info on a gun sight and finding all you wonderful people here. There are many...

It's gotten a little dull around here, guys gals. What if scenarios always get people riled up. If someone doesn't suggest one, then I will. . .

Would any of the devs be open to the idea of creating a forum for selling aviation related gear. Stuff like manuals or aircraft parts. I think it would be nice if people wanted to sell there gear that they have the chance to offer it to like minded people before putting on eBay or anything. With...

Hello there! I have read from Clostermann's book about the carpet bombing, which consisted in a drop of a large amount of bombs on the target. According to Clostermann, it killed a lot of civilian people, during the war, especially in Dresde and in Normandy. Is it a true strategic operation or...

In light of recent tragedies in France, a word of condolences to the families of the people that got killed by terrorists.

Since I'm currently in this S***hole of a country and given the nonsense that is going on in this region, I thought I'd ask you guys this. Recently, in response to ISIS movement around Syria, Saudi sent 30,000 troops to the Northern Saudi/Iraqi border. I have always heard that Saudi is the big...
