  1. WI palletizing or standard standard cargo containers between the Wars

    So after WW1, the UK wanted to have a way to ship more goods easier and quicker. Someone got an idea to load them all on a standard pallet and the pallets needed to fit in a container that could be quickly loaded/off loaded at the docks and place on flatbeds of trains. How long if the UK...
  2. The Bomber will not get through

    I am exploring an idea. What if in 1938 the proximity fuse was able to go in to full production in the UK, France and Germany? How would that have changed the start of the war? Would the RAF still be building hundreds of heavy bombers if they knew that the chances of their shoot down with...
  3. AHC: Have Japan as the 3rd country to send a man in to space

    Any POD after Vostok 1 and Freedom 7 have Japan decide that they will have enough of a space program to be the 3rd country to have a maned space program. How would that effect JAXA and NASA working together? Will they use a capsule or the HOPE space craft? Bonus points, they have a smaller...
  4. Canadian Hornet/Super Hornet and F-20

    I was thinking about the CF-188 and the F-20 and some ways that Canada might have had rebuilt or built them. From people that have more knowledge then me can you give thumbs up or down on the following ideas: - For the CF-188, Canadair (under a license and with McDonnell Douglas) builds...
  5. What if HMCS Bonaventure was a Centaur or Audacious class carrier.

    How different would the Royal Canadian Navy had been if their main carrier was something bigger the what they got. I am thinking one of the canceled Centaur's or they look to the future and see that Jets will be the future and go with a Audacious. Could that happen? If they did build it would...
  6. WI: The Midway and Malta Class carriers were a single design that was built in both UK and US

    Idea: During the war The US and the UK are looking for a replacement/next generation carrier. The design teams work together to design a "victory" carrier that can be built in the UK and US ship yards are using at least 75% common parts. Couple of thing, - there was a single design team with...
  7. What if Russia lost the Alaska panhandle to Britain before they sold it Alaska to the USA?

    As the title says: Lets say, during the Crimean War, a Royal Navel squadron sinks/capture a Russian ship or two in that area and do a bit of "fighting" and capture a fort in the area. All and all not much fighting be enough to get noticed back in London and Moscow. During the Treaty of Paris...
  8. AHC: The USSR builds and launches the equivalent of Sea Dragon

    Your challenge is to have the USSR in the 60's or early 70's build and launch an equivalent to the Sea Dragon. This can be for a moon shot or a very large station or both. How would the US react? Could they have used the Black Sea as a launch point or would have been some place else?
  9. Question other aircraft for the Canadian Air Force

    I have been thinking on other air craft that the RCAF could have had, looking over the list I see a bunch that might have been and could have been a better buy or just different in the long run for Canada. This is just more modern planes: - WardAir's DC-10-30, I see that they had 3 DC10 that...
  10. Affects on Vietnam if Manpads were in use

    How different would the US use of helicopters and close air support be if Manpads were in use during the Vietnam War?
  11. AHC: Keep RCN with a carrier and fleet aviation

    With any POD after WW2 have the Royal Canadian Navy/Maritime Command have at least 1 carrier and experience with fleet aviation up to present day. You can't stop the Canadian Forces unification.
  12. World Cup Finals

    What if in the last 2 World Cup finals, 2014 and 2015, the score at 1/2 time was the same but after 1/2 time both Brazil and Japan were able to reverse the score and they had to go to penalty kicks. What would the fan thoughts be? How much more exciting would the games have become?
  13. AH Challenge: Have Japan be the third nation to send a person to space

    As the title says. Have Japan as a 3rd nation before China to send someone in orbit. Bonus points, what they are using is still in use today after the shuttle was taken offline.
  14. ACW with cartridge rifles

    What if just before the ACW, the States armies started to move to a cartridge based rifle and cannon and early machine guns? How bloodier would it be? Would WW1 style trench warfare start?
  15. AHC: have Boeing Skyfox kits used to replace most T-33 and CT-133

    Have in the late 80's a major push for updating old training aircraft and have the Boeing Skyfox becoming a major conversion for all the old T-33 and CT-133s out there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Skyfox Bonus Points: change it from Boeing to Bombardier/Boeing partnership.
  16. What if Japan Surrendered before the USSR declared war

    What if Germany was able to hold until July 1945. The USSR was going to declare war 90 days later. The bombs go off OTL and Japan surrenders on the same dates. Officially Japan and USSR have a neutrality treaty. What happens?

  19. Nazis see themselves as the defenders of God

    What if during the rise of Hitler, part of the message was "The Party and The Church". You have Hitler seeing himself as new Holy Roman Emperor. When the war comes you have the Nazis fighting "In the name of God" They have that as a central theme of their propaganda. They make the Jews out...
  20. What if: No Pill
