LOL! Afternoon, ma'am.
From what I hear Lurch Kerry has his Florida lawsuit ready to go before any votes have been cast. Wonder if he'll try to get the military absentee votes thrown out this time too?

From the narrative:
This automatic dive-control system is likely derived from purchased Junkers Ju 88A dive bombers
There was another sight that stated that they indeed did buy JU-88's from the germans, and used that plane as a basis for creating this one.
I guess it came back to haunt the Germans in the end.

The accommodation was centered on a large and comfortable cockpit under a framed, glazed canopy. LOL. Sounds like a commercial for a vacation get-away.

The six pounder was a high velocity gun, fired only AP shot as I recall. Superior penetrator to the M4 75 mm. I think, except when the 75 mm was fitted with the Littlejohn adapter and it's special ammunition. APDS would have worked, don't know if APDS was actually issued before the surrender.

Ah, my estimate of you is again unshaken.
Using steel APC ammunition meant heavy, large, and comparatively low velocity projectiles, but they could get the job done, as the Russians made clear. Tungsten was in too short supply for munitions, at least in rear echelon opinion!

Lurch Kerry has his Florida lawsuit ready to go before any votes have been castAnd the sadder thing is that people will buy into it again. I swear ct, it's beyond me how such masses of people can be so stupid. Sheeple, all of them. Arrggh.

I saw a program about the Hollywood director and producer Roger Corman, who has specialized mainly in B horror movies. He talked about the scene where the frightened woman walks alone down a dark hall until suddenly the killer or monster appears. The audience always screams. He said it gets them every time. They never figure out its coming.
