Paradoxes (Things That Contradict Themselves) Of WWII

The Kawasaki NIK2-J Shinden-Kai George 21 could fly 370 mph and up to 35,300 feet It was probably the best fighter the Japanese had to bring down the B-29's . There were 480 Georges built and the Japanese did not have high octane aviation fuel. They uses a fuel extracted from pine tar and mixed that with their gasoline to get a 87 octane fuel. When WW2 ended they had some F4U Corsairs escort some Georges to another base . The Japanese pilot's airplanes were fueled with 100 octane fuel and they pulled away from the Corsairs. The Corsairs could fly 417 mph. So if the Japanese had 100 octane fuel available for their airplanes the B-29's would have been in serious trouble. As it was the Georges and Raidens accounted for more B-29's shot down that we have been told of.

I was stationed at Yokota AB Japan in 1969 . One of my friends worked as an EOD (exposive ordinance Disposal) He told me that he had just came back from disarming the guns on a B-29 they found when a rice paddy was drained. He said the aircraft was 30 feet into the mud and when this news was leaked there were a whole bunch of High ranking Officers flew in to visit the crash site. I never saw any news items in the Stars and Stripes and none of the Japanese papers English editions. I often wonder why that B-29 attracted so much attention. The fact it had guns meant it had to have been one of the earlier B-29 missions beofre Lemay had ordered them removed. Anybody else know of a B-29 wreck recovered in Japan in 1969 ?

There's Stirling, as in Stirling Bridge where William Wallace completely betrayed chivalry and slaughtered those innocent horses, smart move.

Do I sense sarcasm? Wallace did what he had to, and won, by god!

Of course, being mostly Scottish, I have a particular bias for him 8)

Bronzewhaler, We have a 56th WRS board available on Yahoo.com. The address is http://polaris.umuc.edu/~lwashbur/ If you have anything more about that B-29 crash in 1969 I would like more info about that. Anybody else interested in the RB-57F long wing should visit the site. I have lots of pictures of the RB-57F that I took while stationed there from 1968-1970

where's your sence of patroism?? *god save the queen*

bronzewhaler82 · Apr 16, 2004

I think we should ditch Tony 'Fecking' Blair and put the Queen back in charge...she'd sort this fecking country out in 5 mins flat 8)

Then straight after she'd sorted us out she'd amass our army, take us across the Atlantic and invade the US (we did it once, we can do it again, at ANY time ) once we had control we'd execute that moron Bush (did everyone see the dimwits latest TV appearance...made a complete fool out of himself...how the yanks could elect a monkey like him is beyond me )

INDEED! bush is a retard! God Save The Queen!

I don't like Bush, but that 'making a fool' was complete crap, how was he supposed to answer..'What mistakes have you made, and what have you learnt?'..The incident isn't even over, and secondly what's he supposed to say...'Never to be President again'...It was a stupid question..I would have said 'Not to allow fools like you to ask me stupid questions'

Tony Blair does a better job, a little more articulate and even more believable than Bush...it's not hard though..

he fixed it, he actually lost but he had it fixed so he won 8)
