Country:  | Yes, that is a good point. Also, technology wise the Germans definetely are on top. The Messerschmitt Me262 was a brilliant aircraft, but Hitler didnt realise its potential soon enough.

The US and/or Britain also had crucial technological leads in manufacturing, radar, high octane avgas, computing gunsights, gee suits, long range navigation aids, carrier technology, transports, blah blah blah.

| I hope that guy was trying to be funny, otherwise I'd say he was worthy of a 24 hour suspension for stupidity.

I think we should redeem him if he voluntarily hits himself in the head with a claw hammer.

Udvar Hazy Center is great. Went there on vacation a few years ago when I got back from Iraq.

Your certainly right about that. Did you know that his position was not even a miltary rank but a political appointment. Of course the problems with the Luftwaffe were not soley his fault. Hitlers interference in the development of the Me-262 was a prime example of the ineptitude of German leadership and their lack of understanding of what real air power is.
BTW it was Adolf Galland not Rudolf!
About the Japanese Suicide bomb. A friend of mine is designing one for CFS1. Its not ready for release yet. But, I tested it and its a fun plane to fly.
And I thought maybe you guys might like to see a pic of one of the german sicide planes.

Country: | there were NO German suicide planes, this is a bogus V-1 experiment. It was talked and even in the planning stages. If anything suicidal it was the stupid Rammkommando Elbe mission and the last of the silly missions against the Oder bridges to keep the Soviets out | |
