Hard to imagine how rough things were 83 years ago.
I hope they came thru it all.

The P-XX has given The Forum a greater credibility than all other aviation websites. Our studied analysis and sober commentary has brought a higher standard to aircraft discussion. Our understanding of such an important and significant plane and its impact on world history surely has elevated, not only the aviation community, but civilization itself.

Not a good politician then......................................................Mandatory requirement "Believe your telling the truth - Know your telling a lie."

Just joshing.

Rep. Santos and I had a similar conversation with Ambassador Sergey Lavrov during the peace talks between Russia and Japan. I helped the then current President earn the Nobel Peace Prize.
