Hell man, those chicks were only looking for a way off that God-forsaken continent... Marrying or spurting out an American GI's kid was a one way ticket out....
Or so they thought...

I heard there was an apparent problem with abuse toward the French women from the GIs. When the American High Command investigated this possible scar on Allied reputation; they discovered that it was simply because French women telling the GIs to "F*ck them" in German, or kept saying, during sexual intercourse, "Du ist die vater" ...which led to a lot of anger among the GIs, naturally.
It was soon solved though when the Allies released a pamphlet explaining that these "Germans" weren't simply wearing new uniforms, but they were in fact the Americans.

Amen Brother. I remember this one time we were flying back to our airfield and we were in the soup. I remember not seeing anything until about 100ft in front of the runway but everything was working great!

Lanc - ILS is a precision approach system that transmits both glideslope and azimuth signals, are very accurate and have extremely low weather minimums. Non-precision approaches give only azimuth, such as VOR or TACAN, and have higher minimums to shoot the approach.

And in britain, you NEED bad weather navightion.
Britain is like a tuppaware box for weather.
Grey in out.
Besides, my last point is that at the height of the war (june 1942) the spitfire could get over 10,000 ft highter than the mustang.
And height, in a dogfight, is everything.

What's your point? RR still produces some of the finest engines in aviation. Nobody disputes that.

what navigation aides do they use in britain that are superior to ours? I was under the impression that navaids are generally standard internationally.

I was commenting on the best thing to come out of the war in terms of aviation. The jet engine was quite influential. And flyboy needed taking down a peg.
