WWII aircraft ready time

[plan_D]

I'm completely with GrG on this one. Just because they fought for Nazi Germany, it doesn't make them a Nazi. Erwin Rommel wasn't a Nazi. And I pointed out that the war was against the Axis because so many people forget that there were more than Germany.

HOWEVER, Von Braun (The rocket scientist of the Third Reich) was a National Socialist. And was part of the SS.

Your still a moron with ur last comments...

"The Swastika is a Hindu symbol dating hundreds of years back..."
While this is may be true, Nazi Germany still used it as a symbol and is remembered as such... Not a hindu symbol....

"If a Pole flew for the British in the BoB, is he British?"
Probably the dumbest statement I've ever seen here...
Hes a Pole fighting for Britian.. If it were Nazi Britian, he'd be flying for Nazi Britian...

And for the freakin 3rd godddamn time, the word Nazi can be used 2 ways... Nazi as in political affiliation, and Nazi as in the country's political stance...

American is a democracy, but not all Americans are democrat...

I was using the slang term Nazi for this discussion, not the political stances of indiviual pilots and whatnot...

 

[plan_D]

Yes, so Germany was a National Socialist country but not all Germans were National Socialist. Simple.

 

[lesofprimus]

This is true and an obvious statement... I did not say "Of the Nazi Party", just Nazi, slangwise...

 

[plan_D]

You could have just said Jerry, Kraut, Bosch or something.

Goddamn...

What it's remembered as doesn't change what it is.

You changed the subject about Britain, I meant "does a Pole become British if he flys for them?," since you said "If he flys for NAZI Germany hes a freaking NAZI"

If you paid attention, I said "Communist, democrats, etc." et cetera is basically "and more" when translated from Latin. Democrat was an example.

I never said anything about using "Nazi" as slang, so I don't know why you have to reiterate it three times.

Oh, and for the record, yes, I am a smug little bastard.

[plan_D]

Hah!! I like it.

 

[lesofprimus]

I'm 38, so I think i know the meaning of ect... Next time I need some help, Ill make sure I ask u 4 it...

Ur comparison makes no sense then... Ur pole/brit statement concerns countries, while mine was political...

Not all Germans were Nazi.... True...
Not all Pilots were Nazi.... True...

I was making a broad general statement when I said "has a pic of a nazi aircraft in his siggy."
The slang version, not the political one...

If a plane is manufatured in Nazi Germany, it a Nazi German Aircraft...
If it was designed for Nazi Germany, its a Nazi German Aircraft...

Those are general statements...

The Nazi Party decided to exterminate millions of people...

That is a political statement...

"If a German pilot is flying for Nazi Germany, HES A FREAKIN NAZI..."
That statement I made was politically incorrect... I should have put "HE'S PROBABLY A FREAKIN NAZI..."

Or maybe to make u feel better, "THERE'S A 75% CHANCE HE'S A NAZI..."

Point is, I was makin a joke concerning the Israeli kid usin a Nazi German Aircraft for his siggy...

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

No...


You're joking, right?


I think I've just become become flabbergasted.

Lightening, would a carrier be able to have the same launch resources at the end of a tour with supplies runing low and the planes worn down as is the crew?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

even on a carrier the conditions and will vary..................

 

[Lightning Guy]

It wouldn't be constant . . . but there wouldn't be an extreme amount of variation. The crews aboard American carriers were incredile. As an example, over Iwo Jima the Enterprise kept planes in the air for a continuous 175 hours.

 

[lesofprimus]

Yea there are some really interesting things to read about carrier ops... Some really unreal people doing an impossible job...

A carriers hanger bay was filled with some of the best mechanics in the world... Aircraft readiness was very high throughout a whole combat cruise...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and they became very good at removing chrashed planes off the deck and putting out fires quickly, they had to to get the next plane down.................

 

[MP-Willow]

And think that is all done by guys who were 18 or so years young 8)

They also few that you too. But I would hope after 175 days they got some down time!
