Can damaged Aircraft Carriers land planes?

@Wittmann O’Connor was aggressive. I believe he would have gambled to capture the prize of Tripoli.

Had O’Connor not been halted by events in Greece would the British have captured Tripoli?

I have not seen the movie. Have any of you? Giving away no spoilers, what did you think? Is it a must see?

@The-Pripet-Martian said in What are you reading:

@ABWorsham4 The more I read, the more I learn that American neutrality pre-Pearl Harbor was extremely nuanced, to say the least. Very interesting stuff.

No doubt, escorts were taking an active role in the Battle of the Atlantic. American made jeeps, trucks, tanks and planes were operating in North Africa, firing munitions fabricated in the States.

@The-Pripet-Martian I have read two books concerning Atlantis, The German Raider Atlantis and Ship 16. I’ll look for this book.

False Flags doesn’t cover Atlantis much. It covers the lesser known raiders and supply ships.

I didn’t realize the US Navy actively hunted for the raider Komet. The raider entered the Pan American Zone in the Pacific near the Galapagos Islands sinking 3 Allied vessels.

@ABWorsham4 Currently I’m reading False Flags, Disguised German Raiders Of World War 2.

I just finished *The Battle For North Africa *by John Strawson.

@Wittmann The War in the East was more brutal, inhumane and vast than most of us can comprehend this day in age.

How are you all doing?

If you recognize someone as looking like Albert Kesselring in a drive thru, you might be a WW2 junkie.

@Wittmann The family plays the base Catan game with the expansion. It’s a game my wife will play.

@ABWorsham4 I’m currently reading H.W Schmidt’s With Rommel In The Desert.

It’s a great read. Its interesting to see the war in the desert from a staff officer and company commander’s view.

Can IPC credit get lend to China to fund the war effort?bolded text

@Wittmann 1862 just ended.

@barnee I’m reading The Civil War, A Narrative by Shelby Foote.

I’m back reading about the War between the States.

Here is a good question. How many British and French troops would be needed to have a real impact in a C.S.A victory.

Theoretically had the British had a force to defend Canada and aid the Army of Northern Virginia, how many troops would that take.

Had France landed an Army in Mobile Alabama to make a play for New Orleans how many troops realistically could take part in this operation.

Leo’s opinion matters greatly in this topic.

I’m looking forward to Godzilla.

@Wittmann I took the family to watch the film. It was great.

I’m currently reading The Road Past Mandalay by John Masters.
