This is an amazing response and a brilliant way to view MacArthur imo. I've always been deeply interested in MacArthur for some reason, and I would agree with @Bob in Pittsburgh if the claim was simply that Eisenhower was a better president than Mac would be. However I think a lot of the...
Wikipedia says ~1,400 aircraft total, but that was up to 1943, so fewer than that, though I'm not sure how many. Maybe 1,200 - 1,300 aircraft. And they're mostly going to be more modern aircraft than what's available out east too.
Humphrey Marshall (KY)
Louis McLane (DE)
James Turner Morehead (KY)
Alexander Contee Hanson (MD) if you butterfly his early death.
Unfortunately I'm having more trouble with Deep Southerners, though after '32 or so you can probably just start using Whigs.
I remember that Addams family cartoon. I had an idea for Addams Family halloween speical set in that Cannon. The Addams Landry machine breaks down shortly before halloween so they go to the Landry mat. The addams leave in find out that landry mat machines cleans clothes instead of driting...
Well, would it be too idealistic to see an Ed Brooke Presidency in the 70s or maybe 80s then under a GOP ticket if things turn for the better?
Anyways, that idealistic idea aside.... It would be quite interesting to see how things play out racially for both parties in such a timeline. I could...
How much AirPower is saved by ending the fighting in North Africa? Can those aircraft go east, also I think the Japanese and Italian aircraft had some similarities lighter weight and more manoeuvrable.
That isn't a SMG. by definition. SMG use a pistol caliber round. They are designed for up-close and personal action. As an example, one of the most popular SMG rounds, the 9x19mm (9mm Lugar) has 1.8" drop from 25 to 50 yard (which is significant) and more than a FOOT at 100 yards.The 7.63mm (30...
Hedge funds (like Long Term Capital Management) are not claiming to have complete calculability on their investments, nor is that what the Black-Scholes Pricing Models claims to have for derivatives investments. You cannot credibly claim the failures of hedge funds taking too much risk in...
Walt's successor in the original American Magic was his nephew Roy E. Disney.
Then after Roy retired there was a revolving door that included Barry Diller and Jerry Bruckheimer before Zack Snyder took over towards the end of the TL.
Around the same time Zack Snyder took over the Disney...
A great deal depends upon US public opinion. Pearl Harbor created a united and highly motivated populace in favor of pursuing the war to the finish. If we entered on some other basis, the sentiment might have been less robust and we might have been more open to something other than...
Dumb question for asking but is it possible for the Spanish colonies in the Americas to technically be administrated as a Crown of Mexico, much like how there was a Crown of Castile or Aragon? Semantics but just asking.
In my mind, I can imagine downtown Lethbridge looking like OTL Calgary's downtown core with a strip of historical buildings similar to Stephen Ave. The view of the river valley from the High Level Viaduct would be quite impressive too. :cool:
...to be used "only to prevent or protect the ultimate fallback" (and in his other discussions with Truman and others, wasn't keen on its use even then*). Weintraub also makes the point that the 'radioactive belt along the Yalu' idea first came from Al Gore Sr, Mac just pinched the idea in a...
Truman in NC in 1948:
“Nowhere in the United States this year have I seen a single exhibit of that famous North Carolina farm invention — that product of ingenuity and hard time, of personal despair and political mockery — the Hoover cart….First you had the Hoovercrats, and then you had the...
