Coolest aircraft made during WW2

This story brings out my charitable side. I would like to assume the burden of storing these pieces free of charge to all parties involved. I would be willing to provide safe storage of these pieces indefinitely. If need be I would even cover the financial cost, of having the proper documentation drawn up, to tranfer ownership to me. In his advanced years the owner shouldn’t have to deal with the strain of fighting the government. My charitable act would also save the German tax payers money.

Thanks for answering Worsham.
Maine? Interesting. Would have been Massachusetts then. They did go far away (almost Canada, like Marc suggested).

Ironically it’s the alcohol tax that pays it lol case I beer is $42 in Ontario.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.  Occam’s razor would suggest the simplest versions of truth are the most likely to be true.  This article is a counter claim to the Christian Science Monitors article about the GPS system being spoofed and the drone being owned.

For those with an interest in information technology in particular and other fascinating technology/science stories will really enjoy this site, it’s been part of my daily read for a decade at least.  The British humour/vernacular is an added bonus.

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.

Another memorable commander was Günther Prien, commander of the U 47.

He went into the port of Scapa Flow with his sub….

Yes… one would imagine if the Germans had had their 300 U-Boats that Donitz wanted if not for Hitler.

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.
