Shes not that kind of dancer actually, she's a shadow dancer infront of a white screen at one of our local Casino Clubs in Biloxi... Funny (or sad) thing is she's only like 5'5" and I'm 6'6"...

Giant freak man.

How are the casinos recovering? My wife and I went out there last July and several were still being repaired. I think only a couple were actually open. I couldn't believe how devastated the coast still was.

The casinos for the most part are now re-open... Some still dont have hotels, but the revenue-generating casinos are cashing in...

Greetings y'all
Just coming into this forum recently so quite late adding my piece here. I voted Alies mainly because I am American and VERY proud of that, despite the trained chimp we seem to have put in the White House,,,,,
That said, I'd fly almost any aircraft in WW2 gladly. I come from a family that has a long military history and I wish that I could have fought in that war, which I was born LONG after, and meant something to history, instead of leading a boring life that so far has helped noone.
Being half-French, I'd STILL not fly the planes France had at the start of the war though.
BTW I read maybe half the posts here before I wrote this, and there seems to be a couple strong minds about American and British national pride. I think all involved nations made great contributions to the war, on both sides. The production ability of the US, and Britains Commonwealth meant, thankfully, that the Axis nations contibutions failed, but they did do a lot too. I find the Nazi's aims and hatred sickening, but most of the rank and file soldiers and airmen fought with as much honor as any other nation, and their aircraft were terrific. I'd love to be in an Fw 190 as much as a Jug or Lightning, or Mossie or Spit, or a Zero, or a Raiden ,,etc etc, the list goes on. Thanks forf an educational and entertaining forum to see what other parts of the world think.

In a totally off-topic side note, or rather question, I've been trying to add a small pic to my signature from my PC and always get the message "unable to save picture" and if I try one from online get told it's too big. What am I doing wrong?

It has to be the right format. JPG is the best. The right pixel size and you have to put the right address in.

I'd fly for whomever / wherever I was born. I'd have been pants at it it but I'd have had a go.

In fantasy-land (where else?) I'd have flown a Tempest over Europe in late '44/ early '45 with a full load of cannon/rockets taking on 'targets of opportunity'.

My last choice would be any bomber, last in the stream, holding steady on the final run-in to a heavily-defended target

to all who had a go

Been following this thread for awhile and decided to put my two cents in. I'd fly for the Axis though as an adventure I'd try flying for Finland. Inferior planes (Buffalo), understrength and against Russia and they still came out with Aces! Waiting for it on CFS or IL2.

Axis for sure. And I'd fly any of these planes (that actually got used) in this order:

Fw 190D
Bf 109
Frank
Me 262
George

I simply can't imagine flying/fighting for someone else, much less choose to fly for Axis rather than US...

My preference would be USAAF with USMC a close 2nd and would prefere a lot of 'bubba's' from Texas so I could understand the guys in the Squadron

Did they interview the dead pilots also? I've often wondered about this poll as the GAF didn't prevail against the US in a war the RAF chose to quit (Daylight Strategic Bombing)? And German Night Fighters were still taking big tolls of RAF bombers at night all the way to the end.

Not trying to be argumentative but I have heard differences from that opinion depending on whom and where they fought.

Any examples cited as to why, for example, the US was easier to fight than RAF from late 1943 forward?

Drgn I don't exactly know what you mean "by a war the RAF chose to quit"? The RAF didn't quit, just switched priorities as per Casablanca. Granted, they realized with their resources they were getting hit badly during the day and they stopped daylight attcks but with the entrance of the US, the two forces spilt their time.

Maybe coincidence, maybe not that this decision to cease daylight operations came about the same time as US came onboard but I don't think they quit at all. In fact if it wasn't for the British fooling around with the P-51 it might not have progressed much farther or wouldn't have entered combat so quickly with a new engine to be decisive.

and what do you mean by easier to fight? I'm sure the Jagdflieger would disagree with you on that point.
