You want a paradox, how about the fact that Italy, Germany and Japan lost the war but are in better shape now than most of the winners? Certainly far better off than they'd have been if they'd won.
 
ok c.c lost 200+ posts which is a lot but you can probably trace 200+ posts that were pure spam to him, but i have at the most, 60 messages of pure spam and the japs had worse names than the germans m8 they needed america to come up with nicknames like "Kate" and Betty and Zero (after we were having recog probs in dfs we captured some jap planes and decided, boys names for fighters (Zero, Claude, Tony) and girls names for bombers (Kate, Betty, Helen) and so on and so forth)

Its sad that you can quote figures like that did you count them all yourself or did C.C give you a hand? 8)

And as far as Japanese plane names go...Magnificent Lightning, Flying Dragon, Milky Way, Storm Dragon, Shooting Star...thats just a handful of the beautiful names the Japanese gave their aircraft..the best the yanks could come up with was 'flying fortress' ahhhh how poetic
 
Mustang, Mohawk, Skytrain, Thunderbolt, Lightning, Warhawk, Kittyhawk...they aren't very inventive are they...
 
Well I don't know..Mosquito, Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon...We had a love with City names, annoying bugs, some kind of dragon and storms that we don't encounter...
 
My point is: Germansrgeniouses clearly thinks Japanese names were non-existant and i'm saying not only did they exist...but they were the best names given to planes during WW2 - anything the Japanese produced was modelled on their way of life - hence the way their planes looked, sounded and functioned - right down to the suicidal kamikaze bombers
 
first of all, its GermansRGeniuses and i thought you meant zero and such, i had forgotten about those and what good is "magnificent lighting" if the plane isnt too good (although im pretty sure it was, but again if i cant remember the names how should i remember the planes?) oh, well my point is: I made a mistake. and those spam figures are an estimate guessed by me, and if you dont believe check out c.c's last posts in this thread so to you bronze!

calm down mate - You made a mistake - thats cool (and very cool that you admitted it - thankyou 8) )
As for the posts I'm sorry all those posts have been deleted and there really is not much point in getting heated up about it because they can't come back - however i would say that if you don't want to lose any more in future (and theres no reason why you should) just keep your heavy-duty spamming off the site and you (or anyone else) won't have any more problems with it...surely you can accept that there has to be some sort of limit on the amount of spam we can allow

By the way the 'Magnificent Lighting' WAS a good plane... on paper because it had its first flight a few days before the war ended so it didn't get a chance to prove itself in combat...but on paper it looked good but as we all know on this site...that doesn't mean it was a good plane!

p.s sorry i spelt your name wrong - i was in a hurry and my spelling isn't very good -even when iam taking my time
 
right, with the Brit. names, the general pattern was that hawker used some form of storm, fairy used fish/birds and everyone else just used place names...........................
 
There's Stirling, as in Stirling Bridge where William Wallace completely betrayed chivalry and slaughtered those innocent horses, smart move.
