  1. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Yes, if it can kick-start the Italian designs. Just like Curtiss D12 influenced the small revolution in the field of V12 engines.
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Another very good update. Dill's reticence is very well placed and he hit's the core issue on the head in the last paragraph, will permission be given to send the Australian 6th and 7th divisions, if not then the whole plan is suddenly undone. You also have Dill wanting clarification on what...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    ...long time by French standards. Barthou succeeded him, but he was murdered in October by Croatian Fascists who assassinated the king of Yugoslavia. *Williams wonders what might have been if Barthou had not been killed (p. 143). Probably not much, French political instability would have...

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon

    Thanks for reading! I've always wanted to see a Wet Workshop Skylab, and so here we are. Notes for Interlude 4: actual image credits (as linked) go to No Shortage of Dreams for the first, and Astronautix for the second. All thanks goes of course to KAL for writing this one up, and to @e of pi...
  5. A French New Zealand

    In a timeline where Britain still has the Thirteen colonies, I can see them not prioritizing the settlement of Australia and New Zealand as much depending on the butterflies.
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I also like the dramatic music, when all you can see is guns being fired slowly at an indistinct horizon.... Back in the main TL, nasty political situation is nasty. With hindsight, the idea that Greece, let alone Yugoslavia, would last very long if the Germans got serious, or that the Turks...
  7. Janis Joplin survives

    Janis could have been born again, so to speak, and uses her amazing voice to record for the gospel market as well.
  8. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    Which is one of the reasons why the other factions really saw khosrow II little dream as a wierd notion in wanting to imitate and have the same lands as him ( probably a reason why they disliked when they rejected heraclius last peace offer when even that would have been a major victory )
  9. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    I can picture Bush Senior doing better vis a vis Rwanda and Somalia. I always viewed Bush Senior the best president foreign policy wise as he had much experience previously as ambassador to the UN in 1971 and then Nixon's ambassador to the PRC the following year. You also have to give him...
  10. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Going to be honest I’m kind of lost in what is going on in this thread.

    The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    I've mostly left out the areas I think will be the most difficult, especially canada, greenland and the magallanes (which I'd like to work on myself), but any work on pacific islands and new zealand would be very much appreciated EDIT: if absolutely anyone would want to help with lakes that...

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon
    Threadmarks: Interlude 4: Skylab Stays Soggy

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps - Interlude 4: Skylab Stays Soggy Contrary to what many might assume today, the final design of America's first space station was not the one that Skylab's designers would have preferred. Skylab was originally envisioned very similar to how we know it today, as a "wet...
  13. Lutheran Henry VIII

    Instead of creating the basis for the Anglican Church, but maintaining a lot of Catholic style, Henry VIII becomes a full Lutheran monarch (and uses said Lutheranism to solve his Great Matter, of course). What would've happened to England? Would this make England even richer down the road? What...
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The Houston-Dallas has more of a shot, at least the private sector has to worry about costs.
  15. WI: Queen Elizabeth II was gay

    She grew up in an era where this was unacceptable. She'd play the part of a straight person, marry and have kids, as countless other gay men and lesbians from her generation did. Knowing her character, and specifically her devotion to duty and protection of the crown, I doubt that she'd even...
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'd assume that Turner, Time, Warner, and Gulf & Western are the top contenders. I think Charlie Band could get hired by Time to launch a studio.
  17. WI: Queen Elizabeth II was gay

    All one needs to do is look back along any royal line and the number of "brother like" companions fairly fires off skyrockets. How is it phrased? Ah, yes... "Close your eyes and think of England" Heir & a Spare... and we're done with that, thanks for stopping by.
  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    To be fair CalBear stated if Molotov hadn’t made the peace deal with the Reich he would have gotten killed by one thing or another in the chaos. I’d argue that Stalin had the. I’d argue Stalin was the most responsible for the USSR’s loss with his purges and wasteful offensives. I doubt Molotov...
  19. The Pale Horse: The Northwest Montana Insurgency and its Aftermath (1987-2002)

    >See also _First_ Northwest Insurgency I am reminded of “My war gone by, I miss it so.” For what who will be his “Chechens” that will result in him finally shitting himself in fear under a coordinated fire plan? While it is out of scope: journalists who love Sarajevo night life and quick UN...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Scotty carrying a dead man to the Bridge never made any sense to me- Scott knows Kirk knows the consequences of Command why show him a body? Nephew or not? Also abandoning his post for an emotional outburst? Charges there Mister. I would encourage you to shake up all the movies radically not...
