    Europe under extreme duress

    The RAF and RN went from the standard roundels to a blue and white marking in the Pacific during WWII. Turns out the red dot in the middle was problematic for IFF.

    Stupid Questions about Naval Aviation (Part 3)

    On every H-60 I see on the ground, or flying, the horizontal stab always seems to be just hanging in the down position. Does it provide pitch authority or is it just hanging there?

    Bottom line, the weapon systems we are sending to Ukraine are doing what they were designed, procured, and produced for. Kill Russians, and break Russian stuff. Without killings NATO troops, we are near , or at making the Russian military an ineffective conventional force. Rob. I agree, any...

    I took the Booth escape tour with Ed Bearss about 15 years ago. On a side note, Mary Surratt's boarding house is now a Chinese take-out place and the spot where the conspirators were hung are now tennis courts on Ft. McNair.

    Netflix recommendations?

    Just watched the first two episodes of "Masters of the Air". I enjoyed it. They got a lot right. The only nit I have to pick, is in episode two. When they are attacked by Luftwaffe fighters, coming off target, they say that they are Ju-88s. Didn't know that medium bombers were sent up against...

    CMV-22B Osprey Rollout

    VSTOL is difficult. Go back and look at the AV-8A class I mishaps from the late 70s, early 80s. The Marine Corps will fix any issues the 22 may have, and the Air Force will follow. The loss of life is tragic, but it's nothing new in the technological progress in military aviation.

    Europe under extreme duress

    The RAF had the problem of Typhoons being frag damaged when shooting down German V-1s. The solution was to have the Typhoons fly beside the V-1, and use their wing tip to flip the V-1 over, thus disrupting the V-1 gyro and it departing and crashing. My be some single engine turboprops could be a...

    Good article. I think it's a little too "Frog and the Scorpion". I don't think it fully addresses the "why", and the Russian endgame. I lean towards the Russians re-taking the ingress chokepoints in the former Warsaw pact, and the defense of the Motherland as the purpose of this CF, and Ukraine...
