I did not live through that carnage, but though as a child of the 1940s, I can still recall seeing some of the left over building debris.

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.

Representative George Santos has told me that I am the most honest member of Congress he had ever met when we were serving under President U. S. Grant's administration.

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.
