  1. WW1 Airborne Fleet Raid

    I have heard tell that GB/the RN was considering an airborne raid on the German Fleet in its home anchorage using primarily torpedos. But that the war ended before they could finalize the plan and assemble the assets needed to conduct it. Assuming that either the war lasted a bit longer of the...
  2. Dumb Titanic Idea?

    So we get a LOT of Titanic ideas on here and I had one but I am not sure if it is possible or if I am missing something as I am NOT a expert on Titanics construction and design. My idea for a drastic Point of departure is that during the breakup of Titanic is that she breaks ina slightly...
  3. Iowas, Montanas and No Alaskas

    So what if somehow the US gets the real specs for the Yamato early on. Maybe they get the idea that three or 4 f them on being built and more are on order. At the same time the US believes that Japan is also building “Super Cruiser”. Or at least so-called up Cruisers. Could we see the US Navy...
  4. No Great Purge in the USSR

    So what would have changed with no Great Purge or Great Terror in the USSR? Better Military equipment? I know at least a few aircraft designers and engineers working on military engines were purged. Better Military command at the start of WW2? Stalin being Assassinated? Less fear by your...
  5. What is the US pushed the priority on Development in WW2

    I have always wondered, could the US have adjusted priorities and gotten various weapons into production sooner? I know a lot of folks from back in the day would comment that a project was slowed because the priority was given to production of current systems but could this have been adjusted...
  6. AHC: Tortoise Vs Rabbit. (X15 instead of Mercury. )

    So the X15 was slowly increasing the technology/ability to fly higher and faster. So much so that it was nosing up to being a spacecraft or space plane. When Nasa and the Kennedy administration got into the space race it became evident that a capsule design would be (arguably) faster and easier...
  7. The ultimate (impossible ?) NFL alternative timeline.

    In honor of the big game today..... and of Calvin Johnson getting into the hall of fame. I have a question about an alternative history. At what point (if any) after say 1975 and with what POD would it be possible (if it is) to get the Detroit Lions into the Super Bowl as something other...
  8. Get the US and GB & Co to do better in the Pacific...

    We see a lot of get Japan to do better in the Pacific thread (very hard to do). So how about a how Do we get the US and GB & Co to do better. The POD(s) can be pre 1941. But basically Japan does what they did up to and including Dec 7 1941. The outcome of Dec 7th does not need to be the same...
  9. US Aircraft Engines

    What US Aircraft Could have been a success (or at least gone into prod if the engines had been better? We see a lot of test aircraft and more then a few production aircraft such as the original P-51. That were let down by engines. We see this a lot with prototype aircraft from around WW2 but...
  10. Two vs Three a minor change with big results?

    So on a foggy morning that would turn into sheer hell as guns fire and shells explode. Shrapnel flies and fires burn as ships explode or sink and the RussIan’s slim chance end in the disaster that will forever be know as the Battle of Tsushima. We turn our attention not to the Battles Ships...
  11. An Education in Terror

    it is a nice early Fall Tuesday day in the US. People go about their business as usual. Children are back at school. And across the United States people feel confident and safe as they go about their daily lives. On the East Coast people are beginning to consider what to have for lunch as...
  12. Alternate 9/11

    Note, this is an idea for an alternate terrorist attack. However I wonder about posting it, as it may offend some folks, alternately it may upset folks as it could "give terrorists ideas" And being as I have not heard this idea before, that last point may be valid. So if this offends or is a...
  13. EMP

    I have done some research but I can't find a simple place to learn about EMPs. Either the info is to basic or it is way to technical. Basically I am thinking about a few different timeline ideas but not sure how the would work out as I don't have good info to go on. Any ideas were I can get...
