Hi Snippy! I'm back. Oh man, what a week. I just had a few friends over and computer problems earlier. LOL! It could be worse.

brrrrrr!! My fear of flying made reading this give me the willies! But it also makes me want to read the whole book, "Wot! No Engines?" to learn more about the men who flew in those ODD-looking gliders!

Thanks Phil. :-)

Hi one more time, y'all. Had to check out Phil's post before I turn this over to my hubby. Now I've gotta scoot. :-( Don't y'all get too wild tonight. LOL!

"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit" -Army's magazine of preventive maintenance

My favorite, just the right sense of warped humor.

hehe....I liked that one a lot too, SAM, for the same reason.

Nice to know I'm not the only person with a macabre sense of humor.

IMHO it would have failed because the 8th Air Force could not have susutained the losses it was taking and survive. The escorts to and from the target brought the losses down to an "acceptable" level and whittled away at the German Fighter arm.

I completely agree, Sam.

If they believe power comes out of the barrel of the gun, we say, after you, Abbas. . . .
