@9241937 Thank you, my friend. The theory came from a Sociology/History professor during my sophmore year at Wichita State. He also made light of actions committed by both sides during the war which could be considered horrible and for whatever reason, but stated that they were not on the same sc...

@18tangles Thank you for your reference. I'll see what I can do on my end. What information I have is basic- and not detailed- info on both the Hurricane & Spit. The only book on the Battle/Britain by an actual Hurricane pilot is DUEL OF EAGLES by the late Peter Townsend of 85 Squadron & it's mos...

@TrunksStrife Which is against his code against killing, unless it was accidental (?) or he had no other choice. But it was written in the 60's so it must not have mattered too much then. Thanx

@cavalierfan1995 or a time-out stool.

Does anybody who was around at the time the MMC was big know what Roy"s primary function/purpose on the show was? I can remember him as a characture artist on some of the episode but that's all. Thanx.

I used to watch this & Dr. Kildare (Richard Chamberlin) as a kid, even drawing the opening symbols on my blackboard. Ah, those were the days.

@mgk22 The CCA, from what I uncovered, ceased to exist as of 29 Sept 2011 when its rights & seal were sold by Comics Magazine Association & Authorship to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, as well as Marvel pulling out in '01 & DC in '11, due to changing times since its inception in 1954. I'm gu...

@altfactor Me, too. It had a much sleeker look to it. And its shape enhanced its name of Phantom Cruiser.

@USSWISCONSIN64 Yep. It was flown by Richard Bong and named in honor of his future wife, Marge. He said, after her photo was painted on his plane, that " it looked swell and a lot better that the naked women painted on his fellow pilot's planes." I believe he scored all 40 of his victories in a...

@QuitePossiblyANinja That wasn't possible for 2 main reasons. First, the US was (and still is, I believe) the only known source of helium at the time. Second, FDR didn't trust Hitler to use it for non-military purposes so he didn't want to sell any to him. Even if he did, he needed Congress perm...

@XCougar85X Also possible is that he may know that a Spitfire 1 or Hurricane 1 didn't have self-sealing fuel tanks; or if they did, they were very poorly-made ones, based on captured planes from France.

These riddles are just as corny as the TV show's were.

@jethou1 My understanding is that flipping a V1 was preferred to shooting at it unless you could maintain a relatively "safe" distance for either .50 cal MG or 20/40mm cannon. The V1 carried a 1-ton warhead like the V2, but what the blast radius would be I don't know for sure. Most pilots- from a...

If this previews Green Lantern: The Animated Series, it has potential like Batman & Superman. One thing though: has GLs ring vulnerability to yellow been modified to fit the series? Jordan's ring shouldn't have been able to affect Sinestro like it did in this clip; or am I thinking in the old com...

@coltperc What you've told me is good enough. That the 262 couldn't hit Mach 1- then or now with today's technology & knowlage- and survive without cracking up says plenty. Thanks again for your time & input, my friend.

Ok, when do the good guys come to the rescue? Or is that the American voter next election?

@Carycomic Historicaly speaking, whatever became of the Arizona Rangers? Were they disbanded or did they, like the Texas Rangers, become part of- or are - the state police/troopers?

@tomburley Good enough. It is indeed theoretical, and fortunately Fighter Command was able to hold out long enough to let weather, tides, Goering's inability to crush Fighter Command, & Hitler's desire to crush Stalin take over. If you are able to obtain a copy of INVASION 1940- which is where I ...

@F139 Thank you. The bulk of my data comes from 2 main sources: FIGHTER by Len Deighton and THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN: GREATEST AIR BATTLE OF WW2 by Richard Hough & Denis Richards. The rest is from WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES by Michael Korda and an out-of print issue of WINGS magazine article entitled F...

@PrivateMetalhead If they do , I sure hope that it's way better that that Saturday morning cartoon that was made about it. That was lame as ever. Thanx.

@wildmanchris200 you're right on that one. Even if he did shape it into a mirror, it would still be green and the yellow beam would've cut through it and nailed him, unless he can will his ring energy into natural glass and reflect the beam.(Which I don't think he can.)

@Mattie123 As I understand it flyboys was loosely based on the Layfaette Escadrille and their exploits. Whether or not the events depicted are true is irrelevent from a cinematic point of view. The point of the story was to show what the air war in WW1 was like & the perils the pilots- on both s...

@hildegarde07 Peter Cullen. By any chance related (other than last name) to the late Bill Cullen of TV game show fame? Thanx.

An aerodynamic lawn dart at the end. Hope Scott wasn't seriously hurt in the crash. Good try on the second launch, though.

@Oldbmwr100rs Good enough. I've understood that an air-cooled enginge was "superior" to a liquid-cooled for the same reasons: easy to main & less tendency to sieze up if hit. As far as fuel consumption goes, combat WILL make a big difference from cruise speed; both of which I'm after, but I can f...

@ChefDavid210 Thanx for your data. Would I be wrong in assuming that the 6-pounder is close-at 2.24 inches- in comparison to a GATO-class US sub's deck gun at @ 3-inch as far as anti-ship strafing goes? Thanx again.

@whitesprite blow me.

@GuyFawkes501 Yes, this was a real show from the "Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure". He was one of the "special guest" super heroes. Boomerang used to show them in its "Boomeraction" feature on Sundays (here in Ks, anyway). There is a DVD called "DC Heroes: The Filmation Adventures" , a 2-disc ...
