Mr. Bellows:

I don’t know how I missed this article in 2007.

Yet another superb piece on a topic that was completely new to me.

Nobuo Fujita did not retire in Oregon. He died in Japan, but was made an honorary citizen of Brookings shortly before his death when the town heard that he was near death.

In Boris Chertok’s four volume history of the Soviet space program (Rockets and People)he talks about the plundering of German technology and the revelation he got from it. They contributed little or nothing to the war effort. All the resources the secret weapons required to develop were a tremendous drain on the system and produced little of value in return.

AH-HA! that would make sense. only a stupid narrow-minded insolent canuck would take that ribbing seriously. come on canadians, get off it already! we love you guys. you are like our little brother. always whining about how you are mistreated by the larger siblings, glad to have us protecting you from the bullies on the block. but you cant wait to grow-up and be just like us. let’s see, twice our land mass yet 90% live within 200 miles of the U.S. border. and the entire population is less than that of the bankrupt state of California!!! I married a Canuck. she moved here, not me there. says something about the place Eh?

Oh Alan. I’m afraid your poetic license has expired. Time to renew it.

Are you SURE there have been no submersible aircraft carriers since? I have heard rumors of some US attack subs with submersible aircraft for SEAL teams for example....

Dave Group said: "During World War I, Germany had plans to build a massive airship that would cross the Atlantic and bomb New York. It was only partially built by the time the war ended. The French ended up with it, named it the Dixmude, and shortly thereafter lost it in a storm over the Mediterranean."

Thanks. That sounds like the French.

st33med said: "Problem is it would be really impractical and slow sub for a hanger to go in it. If they let it stay outside, the water pressure would break the plane like a 1066-candle cake going splat into the ground:). Not to mention that, if they did find a way to have it withstand such pressure, it would possibly make the submarine stay on the surface because of it's wings.

So good luck to the military!"

I think its 1106 candles... Keep it up with the Military information Thanks,
