Coolest aircraft made during WW2

There are no permenant lines so that alternate land sets could be made and layed down over the water base color. Originally we would lay down low tack adheasive narrow black tape but found that on a map that large, the zones are obvious and you really don’t need them. The next stage that we never got around to was an elevated plexi layer to place the aircraft on.

this one is funny too.

This is about 5 minutes of color footage from WW2 aircraft.  Some of it is in action, some looks to be training.  Check it out, was pretty interesting:

Would you give $ to state and local governments which didn’t fulfill their responsibilities?

Katrina Death Toll guesstimates seem to have been a lil off…

Recall Mayor Nagin’s # of 10,000 in Nawlins alone…

EXCERPT
THE death toll from Hurricane Katrina has risen to 1069 after Louisiana officials raised the number of confirmed fatalities in that state to 832.

…218 dead in Mississippi and 19 deaths confirmed in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee…
END EXCERPT

It is just one more photo/fact as I have seen evidence here and on other websites about Bill and Hillary Clinton, Democrat Senators and previous Democrat US presidents doing the same thing. Every time the Dems complain the news media shows the picture again. The Dems hurt their own cause by continually bringing it up. It needs to be dropped.

Hahaha… but seriously, did you know way back in 1942 when the government released a video of Pearl Harbor a lot of parks were censored (like pictures of ships knelling over and sinking and how much we goofed up). Makes you think?

I did some research on the net and found out that the movie was released on VHS in 1986 under the name “State of Division”, so you may be able to find a video of it under that name instead of “Death Race”.

Here’s a brief summary without spoiling anything:

Two American P-40s go on a mission in Africa to bomb a minefield, and one of them gets shot down and has to make a crash landing. The second pilot lands to rescue his buddy, but a German tank and soldiers show up and a stray bullet takes out something or another so that the plane can no longer take off, but can still taxi along the ground. The remainder of the movie is about the Afrika Korps chasing the two pilots and the plane across the desert, and it has a great ending that I’m not going to tell you about… :grin:

It’s really good for a TV movie - on http://www.imdb.com it has a rating of 8.3 out of 10.
