    Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Ford was a cheap bastard. Why pay fitters to rework each brand new piece made, when you can make each part to spec, every time? less fitters taking files and polishing cloths to every bit off the line, speeds assembly and most important, time saved. Time was worth more than money to Ford RR was...
  2. The Forge of Weyland

    But thats reasonable. they are some days at least away from understanding what has happened, as are the Germans and ofc the French have to talk to the British to get a full picture. They have to assume that the Germans have adequate reserve. its only when its fails to show up in a few days that...

    Yes, lets reprimand Elliot. In the meantime, Goering is thinkering what medal to give to people that designed Rapier, Dagger, Taurus, Tiger, along with people that shoved the whole seleeve valve project down the throats of different companies wasting both time and money, and whether the medal...

    Thank you for that article, was very interesting, does seem to be very little used.
  5. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I'll make an update dedicated to this next. Kennedy is distrustful of the military, but most people bringing up the military conduct of the war are Republicans (like Nixon) who want criticize Kennedy - the narrative is that President Kennedy only gave the military limited resources to conduct...
  6. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    A fact often left out is that even if Pakistan agreed to get rid of the training camps, it might delay the swarm of fighters but they would just come farther away. People call America crazy for their role in Afgan soviet, Britain flat out had special forces fighting the soviets and sabotaging...
  7. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    King Harold Harefoot died in March 1040. With the new King Harthacnut needing to intimidate his new vassals into going along with the more autocratic rule he was used to as King of Denmark, an upgrade in engine power seemed like a good investment at the time?

  9. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    In his novel Space, James Michener asked why there were no Catholics among the first two classes of astronauts (Bill Anders being the first), despite the fairly large number of those in the US and the relative absence of legal barriers (unlike, say, black Americans). He settled on the answer...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Uhh... how can I put this? Um... NO! Here is a series of lectures by a professor on the subject (pay attention to these videos, in this order to see the details). It's a good listen, you should check it out. Also these smaller videos.
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    To many Generals in the past it was better to reduce your force by 10% than have 100% of your force mutiny or desert.

    Ford of England <will start mass production of Merlin any moment now>: we need the darned tolerances to be much finer! 3 other factories in UK, already mass producing Merlins: are we a joke to you?

  18. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    If the evacuation failed and 9/10 of the BEF was captured... That would not force Britain to make peace. But it would be a huge morale blow. It has been noted that Britain had not considered making peace even when the destruction of the BEF seemed unavoidable. However, that was also before the...

  20. AHC: Fletcher Class refitted with RIM-24 Tartar and Mk13 Launcher?

    The Fletchers were just too small for a DDG conversion. In 1955, a Gearing-class destroyer (USS Gyatt DD-712) was converted into a DDG (DDG-1). It didn't work too well and the ship reverted to DD-712 in 1962. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Gyatt.
