The Germans couldn't seem to focus on one good plane, they wanted a "war winner in a box".

The 262 was a mean machine when it finally got up to speed.. if it didn't flame out.. or run out of ammo.

Yeah, it's almost confusing.Ah, the de Havilland Sea Vixen*. Only the Royal Navy could manage to commission an aircraft that looks both beautiful and somewhat unsightly at the same time.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Re: The Longest Bombing Mission Ever
Regarding the QANTAS talk earlier, this just came out:
QANTAS falls 2 places in safety rankings.
QANTAS falls 2 places in safety rankings.
http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-new ... 2cm44.htmlQantas only ranks 13th in the world in terms of airline safety according to a European group of airline safety enthusiasts, a far cry from the previously prized number one ranking immortalised by Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man.
Its trans-Tasman rival, Air New Zealand, ranked as the world's second-safest airline in the same rankings, behind only Finland's national carrier Finnair.
Qantas's chief rival in Australia, Virgin Australia, was ranked ninth.
