Medium Historian At Large
@one0nine.bsky.social
WWI/WWII air war historian and author (Luftwaffe/USN/USAAF), guitarist/bassist, irrepressible liberal, fluent in sarcasm.
Feel like some enterprising developer should be able to use that field to make an exclusion filter to mute any account posting from Russia, Turkey, India, etc.

That might be the funniest thing I've ever seen him say... that's absolutely hilarious.

Also...HE'S NOT WRONG.

A hunch: she's wily, and can see the rage bubbling against the entirety of the GOP. She's getting TF outta town on her own terms before the GOP can torpedo her, will build her brand locally in GA, and maybe prep for a Governor run.

I still don't trust it though.

I absolutely LOVE the process of research. There's a visceral thrill in poring over historical documents and coming across information that's not been seen in God knows how many years, then being able to contextualize that info- sometimes it fundamentally changes our current understanding of events.

Thanks for that, I couldn't remember whether it was the T-Stoff or C-Stoff which was the REAL nasty stuff

No, the whole "go boom/turn to goo" aspect was definitely not a high point. As an airframe design though, the 163 was apparently a delight to fly... well balanced with excellent flight characteristics when it wasn't actively trying to kill you

Oh, just wait until you go to turn around to get something out of the back seat and pull a muscle in your chest which you didn't even know existed.

I mean, getting older is better than NOT getting older, of course, but man, I'm not digging the "random pains for stupid reasons" part of the game

The later Me 263/Ju 248 held much more promise but was hamstrung by competing priorities, material shortages, and bureaucratic incompetence (practically an RLM trademark). The biggest issue with the 163 was the tanks in the cockpit- if those ruptured, the fuel would DISSOLVE THE PILOT.

I will say his Vietnam series a few years back (with Lynn Novick) was pretty damn good, from my personal perspective. Less hagiography/more facts, and LOTS of perspective from Vietnamese participants, both north and south. I was extremely impressed with it.

yeah that would be a quick path to unconsciousness for sure
