  1. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    Front and mid upper removed, plus anything associated to reduce weight, whilst the rear turret was reduced to two guns from four. Some of the crew seating went with the radio operator getting a wicker chair. The 'Grand Slam' carriers were usually accompanied by a pair of aircraft with...
  2. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    The first and most obvious candidates are the countries that had a carrier and then lost that capability: Canada, Argentina, Australia, and the Netherlands. Of these, Argentina is right out due to post-Falklands economic weakness. They didn't have the dosh to operate their surface fleet, let...
  3. The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    I'm going to deal with food first, although I won't rule out doing something else within the same TL in the future. Part of the format that I like here is being able to write with the intent of allowing you to tease out information from what is written about food. I don't intend on answering...
  4. Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Because it had a crappy and unrepresentive government.
  5. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Title of Elvis’s 1964 autobiography, where he describes being stationed in West Berlin in 1960, and seeing people fleeing East Berlin gunned down in the barbed wire that was there just before the Wall. This event changed him deeply, and inspired his proud anti-communism, while the Army...
  6. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)
    Threadmarks: Announcement

    Been quite busy with RL stuff, so probably no update this week. Sorry.
  7. Mad Bad Rabbit

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Stalinism (aka crony communism) rewarded crooks and liars and punished honest people, hard. Tell Planning Committee the real output numbers for your factory? Your quota gets doubled next year. Lie about them, exactly meet quota, and sell the extra on the black market? Get rewarded with Party...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Either work really. Though George of Gloucester has a ring to it.
  9. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    👍 Considering the lengths Richard went to OTL to marry Anne, I can't see him accepting a different bride if she's still around.
  10. Map Thread XX

    Good point... My reasoning was (bearing in mind I've never been to New Hampshire, but I did some research while making the map) NH already has some autonomy in USA, and it is produces more energy than it needs already.
  11. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Looks like Enterprise has a bit more life in it. Will this tl be like Eyes and Right side up and come to an end at the present day at the time of writing or will it go past 2021?
  12. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Seeing as how Smith was one of the biggest advocates of Jim Crow IOTL, that explains a lot. Given Canada's size, resources, and population, I'd expect them to have a lot of influence in the Empire. Also, what happened to William C. Durant? In Our Fair Country, you mentioned that he emigrated...
  13. Cinco de Mayo
    Threadmarks: Queen Min

    "...the Taedong Valley was perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the surge of foreign missionaries, but not just due to it emerging as the cradle of both French Catholicism and Anglo-American Protestantism; Pyongyang's proximity to China and the mouth of the Taedong made it a flourishing hub for...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    My favourite armoured car of WW2 is the AEC (I, II and III) He's a chonky boy OTL it leverages a common turret with the Valentine and used the Matador artillery 4 x 4 Tractor chassis Here with no Covenantor tank we might see it produced in greater numbers - and maybe in serial production in...
  15. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    ...Or you could go the way I suggested and marry Edward to Marie of Foix while Edmund marries Brittany? And George getting Bedford would make sense. Also unless you're killing of Isabel Neville earlier here Anne to Richard wouldn't happen, and for George's marriage *maybe* Margaret of Scotland.
