"Nobody's skills at breaking up bomber formations had improved, and neither side could brag about a clearcut victory over the other. But at least it had given the pilots something else to argue about."
Fighter pilots arguing! I'm shocked..SHOCKED I say. This is so unlike your basic fighter pilot, normaly they're so laid back and unaggresive.
(note: this is what is known as sarcasm)

PBS had a series awhile ago called "racing the sun" about the developments in civilan aircraft. If you get a chance it's pretty good.

Sam, I too am Catholic and have noticed this trend. Sadly, I think the problem boils down to too many of our priests and bishops being members of the professional religious class without first being Christians familiar with and obiedient to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.
I would like to hope this will change for the better; I'm not sure that it will as it seems that for much of his life the Holy Father has been a force against modernism and liberalism in the church.
God only knows what the next pope will bring.

Bump for reading Hurricanes vs Spitfires on my lunch break...Thanks snippy.
To: snippy_about_it; SAMWolf
Thanks for a very interesting thread. Dowding was sure a visionary - he is mainly responsible for the RAF being able to take on the Luftwaffe.
My goodness, the Spitfire was a beautiful airplane.

Thanks ms_68. We've done some threads where Kosciuszko was mentioned. Nice pictures.
