I thought that British people arriving in USA with a "home counties" accent were arrested for being master criminals or offered a part as a master criminal in the next Hollywood movie.Yet a great many Americans equate a "Bristish accent" with high IQ and competence.
Why Do British Accents Sound Intelligent to Americans?
Yes, us Brits are a race of master criminals. Luckily, only the Iranians have recognised this.I thought that British people arriving in USA with a "home counties" accent were arrested for being master criminals or offered a part as a master criminal in the next Hollywood movie.
No, really MORE BLACK ADDER, please.
Of course. But originating from someone else, not Martin Caidin.
Erich is well learned in Luftwaffe techniques through both his research, interviewing countless Luftwaffe pilots and personal connections.I was scrolling through the threads of time ( circa 2009) and came upon some posts regarding the B-17 vs B-24 (B17 vs B24 vs Lanc).
Jhor9 and Erich (the old sage) had some posts about LW interceptors preferring to attack B-24's over B-17's. Could that be true or is that a myth too?
B24s tended to fly a bit lower than the Fortress so perhaps that explains the preference.
Why was that?
Great link! That was not what I was expecting. I'm still a B-17 fan but point we'll taken. It also backs up the views of some of those old posts. Thanks.It may have been because the B-24 had a higher wing loading.
Interestingly, the B-24 seemed to have a lower loss rate than the B-17 in the hands of the Eighth Air Force; see The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress vs. the Consolidated B-24 Liberator - Warfare History Network
The Halifax and Lancaster here a similar quirk in statistics. You were more likely to survive being shot down in a Halifax, you were less likely to be shot down in a Lancaster but for Harris you needed more Halifaxes than Lancasters to drop the same amount of bombs and he didn't know survival rates until after the war.Great link! That was not what I was expecting. I'm still a B-17 fan but point we'll taken. It also backs up the views of some of those old posts. Thanks.
