Yeah, I mean, to be called a troll for asking for clarification of an ambiguous post seems like a rush to judgment. But I guess I’m the outlier here.

Are you seriously telling me that top image is NOT a painting?

It wasn’t necessarily a high-stall speed. It was the high speed approach and landing that caused many of the issues. The aircraft itself was really fickle. Landings and take-offs required that the pilots fly inside a very small performance window. It was also exceedingly suseptible to anti-aircraft fire. Like the…
You're thinking of the B-25
that sounds definitely like it makes more sense, but I can’t seem to find anything else one way or another

There’s just something so much more impressive and real feeling about WWII prop planes. Most of the equipment made during that war just feels realer to me, like a machine made by people in factories with their hands. Not long after you stop seeing rivets on planes and tanks, stop seeing the engines on planes, stop…

Thank you Tyler.

Anyone who has seen one of the Iowas in person or has heard a broadside knows that these ships project power. The thing that makes me smile is that all 4 of…

Air Force Veteran here.
How can the government/military have so much money available for weapons systems and so little for the care of veterans? I’m not trying to be snarky, I genuinely want to understand what causes that and what (if anything) can be done to fix it. The fact that we have homeless veterans is astonishing and appalling after…
Globes, maps have always been so cool to me. I really love the universe maps that Nat Geo sells. If I had a house, I would decorate it with maps and charts galore.
