No Defiant, no basis of creating OTUs, of which the Defiant provided numbers for. No Defiant, no stop gap night fighter available in numbers
And any Defiants in OTUs in the spring of 1941 didn't have radar.
Better than nothing but not quite the standard of training one might have wished for.
The Blenheim might have been slow but at least it offered a more complete training mission.
Only 8 Squadrons used them during the Blitz. They started with 3 and ended in May with 8 squadrons.
I blame them for keeping up the experiments for so long after they should have been seen as rubbish.
But don't try to gaslight me with claims that the radar equipped Defiant was a success (one plane shot down?)
The Brewster factory was in Long Island City which is part of Queens. Any which way you look at it - Queens, NY is on Long Island.NOPE! All part of the same land mass but two different cities/ counties!!!!! You're talking to someone who grew up there!!!
Sorry Jake and my fellow current and former New Yorkers will agree with me. Although the same land mass, Long Island starts at the Queens east border!The Brewster factory was in Long Island City which is part of Queens. Any which way you look at it - Queens, NY is on Long Island.
Scotland and England are on the same island, are they the same!?
Or who is answering it! LOL!Actually, yes...depending on which question is being asked.
And again, Queens is part of a land mass in geographic construct BUT WITH political considerations! Besides the Pizza is better in Queens!They are both part of the British Isles (which is a a purely geographic construct without political considerations), as well as being part of Great Britain (England Scotland and Wales), and the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Naw - Just talk to a NY Islanders fan!Just to add to the confusion, there are separate national football and rugby teams for England, Scotland and Wales, and in rugby there are also the British Lions and Great Britain (depending on whether you're a fan of League or Union).
Confusing isn't it?
As with Long Islanders!I'm sure the Scots among us would tell a different story but that's the current state of things.
Hey, Staten Island Pizza is right up there but then again more than half the people living there are from Brooklyn anyway!I explained it all before and Brooklyn pizza RULES!
Sorry Jake and my fellow current and former New Yorkers will agree with me. Although the same land mass, Long Island starts at the Queens east border!
Scotland and England are on the same island, are they the same!?Do we say Farnborough is in Wales because they're on the same landmass?!?
The westernmost end of Long Island contains the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn (Kings County) and Queens (Queens County). The central and eastern portions contain the suburban Nassau and Suffolk counties. However, colloquial usage of the term "Long Island" usually refers only to Nassau and Suffolk counties.
As is saying Long Island City Queens is on Long Island!The equivalent of saying Queens is on Long Island would be that Farnborough is on Great Britain.
As is saying Long Island City Queens is on Long Island!
YepIt is on the island of Long Island, but not in the "economic region" of Long Island.
YepNow, a person who is from a part of Long Island that is not part of New York City is a Long Islander, those from the parts of Long Island that are a part of New York City are New Yorkers?
YepBut is a person from the state of New York also a New Yorker. Meaning that a Long Islander is also a New Yorker?
