    Sirhr - I was thinking of Yeager when I wrote that question. If you are an American, you have to love Chuck Yeager. The other successful method of defeating a 262 were to draw it into a maneuvering contest and take away its speed advantage. The P-51 was way more maneuverable, but the 262 pilots...

    The Me 262s were towed to the runway by horses to preserve fuel. The jets - they like to drink the fuel. In war torn Germany in 1945, fuel was a precious commodity. Assuming we are ripe for another question - How did allied pilots successfully fight the 262 (There is more than one right...

    YES! A flak train! Best part is they killed the shit out of them. The gunners aboard the aircraft apparently had the advantage killing many of the AA crews. Good on them. The armored flak train was nicknamed the "Caterpillar". It had 10 wagons and one engine. It had 36 light and medium AA...

    Guess we need to get back on track. This comes from the "back when it was hard" section. If you know anything about the air war in Europe, you know about the raids on Ploesti. If you don't, you should read up on it. Operation Tidal Wave, one of the first big raids on the oil refineries at...

    Sirhr for the win on Roderigue Hortalez y Co. It was a shell company created in 1775 to funnel weapons and money to the American revolutionaries from our friends in France and Spain.

    Being "gazetted" relates to English military history and being published in the London Gazette. If you were promoted, it was published in the gazette. If you had a military action of note, mentioned in dispatches, it may also result in you being gazetted. Pretty sure I'm right, so what is...

    You got it Sirh! The way I understand it, THE Zammurets was just one of their armored trains. Its history is an interesting, and short, read. If you have time, here's a link for your perusal: https://medium.com/war-is-boring/a-r...a-db3e3180b50c Enjoy.

    A macuahuitl is a wooden club with obsidian blades. Its sides are embedded with prismatic blades traditionally made from obsidian, famous for producing an edge far sharper than even high quality steel razor blades. The one pictured is a modern "ceremonial" type. Assuming I got it right, the...

    It's and its are two of the most commonly confused words in the English language. However, understanding the difference between these two words is crucial for successful communication. It's is a contraction for it is or it has. For example: I think it's going to snow on Monday. It's been a...
