  1. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    That was the role it took with U.S. carriers. The A-4, unlike the A-7 had a very solid secondary role as a subsonic fighter, a role that the A-7 would have been hard pressed to equal. The Skyhawk was also more compact, a major consideration since all the countries mentioned were using "light"...
  2. Mad Bad Rabbit

    If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    Switzerland. "Sorry, we nationalized all your gold and redistributed it to the proletariat. Good luck invading us to get it back."

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    And then become surprised when expectations do not match reality, even with the Francophones being less Catholic than assumed (but still enough to set a cat among the pigeons).
  4. WI: extinct Celts, extant Goths

    "And here's the starting five for your very own Boston Goths! At point guard we have..."
  5. Britannia Rules the Stars-REDUX

    Is this chapter part of the normal timeline? And why is he called Windsor? Didn't Great Britain fight alongside Germany? There shouldn't have been a reason to rename the family. But a glorious way to go
  6. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    That would be a thorough Saudi-screw and a British betrayal of them of the first order. @galileo-034 even thinks that "status quo ante bellum" would be viewed as a major British betrayal of the Saudis, unless the Hashemites can win back the Hejaz militarily, which he deemed unlikely in the...
  7. Lusitania

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    I am certain that many in the south were under the belief that the French speaking Catholics were all ready to yank the chains of the papist overlords and give up their uneducated ways to become English speaking Protestant Americans. All they needed was to be shown the path to salvation and...
  8. Communist Sudan: What Would It Look Like?

    What if the 1971 Sudanese coup succeeded and resulted in Sudan becoming communist? What direction would the country take and what would it look like today? How would it interact with other nations, especially its neighbors?
  9. Under what circumstances would NATO or the Warsaw Pact have actually gone to war with each other?

    Containment was a bipartisan approach that started with Truman and ended with Bush I. Regan believed a war was winnable and wash perfectly happy to push towards it. 40 years later we are still paying off the deficit that Reagan initiated. At the time I assumed, and still assume, Star Wars was...
  10. Different EU centre-right parties/groups

    That's also why I was thinking about collocating the PoD fairly early in time, in order to have different party systems in the constituent countries to start with soon after WW2 rather than a later break-up within EPP. An example could be having a strictly Catholic christian democratic party in...
  11. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    No. The Corsair, for all its virtues, is a much larger and modestly "hotter" aircraft. Loaded up for strike, the Corsair is over 10,000 lbs heavier than the Skyhawk and has a somewhat higher stall speed on takeoff.

    A New World Wreathed in Freedom - An Argentine Revolution TL

    The yellow L is really the only innovation I've brought to the idea: the large capital L as the party logo is inspired directly from the Colombian Liberal Party, and as you astutely note, the Phrygian cap inside a cockade with the UP colors is a nod to the party's own ties to the revolution of...
