I second that!!

And from my humble experience no dog has been in that kitchen let alone a brigade of wolfies.

So are we agreed, the Brewster Buffalo was the best for the US in 1940?!

Ah, that turns out to not be the case - on all three points!

Nice set of dogs you've got there Bill - must be a nightmare cleaning up after them though, there's got to be hair bloody everywhere!

This one was Alpha Wolfhound - none of the males or females screwed with her more than once. Unfortunately she would never stand for a male and I didn't have the heart to do AI on her

Yeah, sure, but W/O the extra armour and 80 gallons of gas, but WITH the self-sealing tanks, an R-1820-56 and a 4-bladed prop....then, yeah, I'd probaly take it.

Renrich,

Thanks for the info...of course, as we all know, it was more about superior tatics than a/c that helped us win the air war (and the inception of the "pilot rotation" idea didn't hurt, either).

They were wardogs a couple of thousand years ago, but they are not aggressive toward people.. I haven't checked lately but the last time I checked there was no recorded case of a wolfhound killing a human being.

The last time I checked the CDC database both the Cocker Spaniel and Dacshund WERE on that list.

They are Death to coyotes and deer, however - all their instincts to chase down those critters are fully intact
