I don't want to be picky but why doesn't your son do it yourself? It's been more then a week and we still haven't seen him...

As for the project, I'd suggest Me 262 "Schwalbe" rather then Me 163 "Komet", but it's up to him. :thumbright:
 
i'd say, of the two, the Me-163 simply because the Me-262 already gets a lot written about it..........

and pisis Susan's explained that she is simply coming onto this forum on behalf of her son in case we're all, you know, a bit like that :-\" and no, i'm not talking about being Canadian ;)
 
Yes Pisis she is just looking out for son based off of the kind of wacky people are on the internet these days. There is nothing wrong with her wanting to protect her son.

Having said that Susan we are all serious history buffs here and many military veterans and your son would be safe on this website. Us moderators and regular long time members would make sure of it.

Now as for the topic I would probably go with the Me-163 as Lanc said only because it gets less attention than the Me-262.

We can hook him up with facts, stats and photos of the Komet.
 
but as for the Triumph and Tragedy? tough one with the Komet, Triumph in the advance in technology perhaps and well the tragedy's obvious, the fact it kinda sucked....

failing that, in an effort to get a stronger single aircraft triumph/tragedy how about an aircraft that perhaps wasn't very good on one front, but was fantastic on annother, struggling to think of examples off my head but for example the Buffalo perhaps, not so great for the americans but the Finns used them very well, and using an aircraft used by annother nation will also teach them about the other nation's role in the war, i'm sure there are far better examples of non US (the reason i'm trying to find non-US examples is because it might be more interesting for Americans to hear about foreign aircraft they might know little about) aircraft used by many nations, one of which flunked with them, the other very successful, just a case of looking harder than me to think of one :lol:
 
Yes, I understand that, but in 8th grade I think he is old enough to not be protected by his mommy anymore. And I don't mean that as an offense. Maybe I'm going a bit off topic here but as I work with the American students, I see mayn of them are much more naive then the same old people from other countries.

Susan, you're really not helping him that much by avoiding him to access the site. And if he wants to watch porn, he will do it anyways, if this is the reason. :D

I mean because of this education, many of Americans have quite weird attitude, they aren't self-reliant...

But it's just my perosnal opinion though and I don¨t want to make any offense.

:thumbleft:
 
not really re-assuring her pisis ;) we should respect her wishes, and help her with her request, i'm quite enjoying thinking of ideas, although we've been at this for a while isn't it about time we decide something final so he can actually start work on this thing :lol:...........
 
You might want to take a little side trip over the Pensacola and visit the National Museum of Naval Aviation at the Naval Air Station Open everyday but Christmas. There are some very helpful folks there and a rather extensive, albeit specialized, library (that's where all my stuff is earmarked to go when I'm ready to check out). If you go, give my Dad's name a pat for me when you see it on the von Tempsky wall (you'll know the wall when you see it).

Regards,

Rich

Click to expand...

I fully agree with you, even about the Komet.

Not really aircraft but another interesting one would be the V-2 rocket. It was a huge step in technology and led to the space rocket program but the tragedy would the be the use against civilian targets.
 
We haven't been able to get on for a while and haven't read all the posts, but let me explain...though I have been using the word "I", my son is sitting right next to me. He was the one who came up with the two types of planes ideas - I'm sorry if I gave the impression I was doing too much on this. TO be honest, this is so not my area of expertise - I don't understand half of your suggestions :)

I sincerely appreciate your concern, but in no way could I begin to help him too much on this project - it's a lot out of my league :)
 
Hi, my name is Tucker. Thanks for you suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the Spitfire. Can you help me find resources?

I don't want to bother you, I was wondering if you could help. This is a neat site. My mom is right, she couldn't help me with this. :lol:
 
fair enough choice i guess but what's the triumph and tragedy gonna be?

and the best thing you can do is come up with the frame work, an idea what you wanna talk about and include, obviously you'll have to do a lot of work but we can help you a little too..........
 
If for some reason you cant find something specific on the spitfire, Just ask I have lots of info on the spitfire including a flight and parts manual on a model of the spitfire. Just ask and I will see if I can help also
