If the UK can be forced to accept some kind of armistice after May 1940 (assume Churchill is dead, for that...) and if Germany doesn't attack the USSR... maybe Hitler & co can stay up, if they don't declare war on anyone. Specially on the US, when Japan does (if?) attack. Otherwise, it becomes a...

Otoh, it would be steady job... :D

Right... sorry, read the pds not kgs /shame

A Comet? That monster on a Comet?! But the P-15 weighs over 5 and half tons...

Angled deck in 1942?...

Either India or Pakistan (or both...) would end up invading it.

If Italy doesn't join in, how many troops & aircraft would France be able to redeploy from the italian border? Would they be able to make a diference in May 1940?

The original Soyuz is only 6 years (more or less) younger than Gemini I, and yet the latest models keep going and going. I don't honestly see any real problem in seeing constant upgrades for that model. It could serve as a basic crew taxi.

In 1940? Before going to Russia? Wouldn't need ASB...

Well... that's the problem, isn't it? "With hinsight" we can even make Hitler win...

Simply fact is that, in 1941, the Uk just did not have the troops & equipment to send to the Far East, at least in the quantities and quantity required. What tank units it had were stuck in North Africa, either using tanks that were little more than 1940 leftovers or rushed US lend lease, and...

The extra flatops in the Indian Ocean would only work when enough Corsairs/Seafires and Avenger/Barracudas were available to fill them, with properly trained crews. Otherwise they would swarmed and sunk. When they do the RN can start doing air raids like Operation Meridian sooner.

Star Trek (1995)- the story of a group of aspiring music artists, on a long trek across the Andes for a publicity stunt. The jouney soon turns tragic, due to infighting, bruised egos and poor planning. And thats even before the Inca mummies start to show up. Star Trek the Wrath of Khan (1997)...

Sure.

Every nation has it's quota of such men. But none of them come of an organized, government-led effort to deliberately set them up to die as the only way to achive success... even Htiler balked at that, right until the very end... Anyway, it's irrelevant. The discuss was on air-air, and the...

Yes, vs the IJN (and army fighters) the FAA would have no chance in air-air. I mentioned saving Force Z because those ships were attacked by unescorted long range bombers; otherwise the RN would loose two capital ships and a carrier. Only if the carrier was chock-full of Martlets it would not be...

I think it would, if the CO made the decision to return to Singapore ASAP; the japanese bombers were undescorted, so I'm pretty sure Fulmars and Martlets would tear them up enough to make it work. But if the CO makes the bonehead decision to keep going and try to intercept the landings, then...

If the RN kept using fleet CVs forASW work, sooner or latter one would end up like Courageous. Until then... The chase of the Bismarck would be simpler, with at least one extra CV for the hunt; one would probably reinforce the Med, causing even greater havoc in Taranto. Assuming no losses (or...

Well, the soviet model worked perfectly; they actually ran multiple sucessfull ops in 1941/42, at least one of each had a massive influence in the latter Stalingrad campaign.
