Big Frank" Valesh went through no less than eight B 17s, and named them Hang the Expense I,II,III etc. Seemingly a waste of tax payer money - trashing 8 B 17s! It wasn't. Those bombers died bringing their crew home. The Oshkosh Air Show often has B 17s flying in the show. I saw a few and heard them fly. Simply marvelous. Loaded Weight - 54,000 lbs.

O PS tem de dizer mais e desmitificar tudo, mesmo tudo, porque os Portugueses já sabem que anda por aí um burburinho. Ensurdecedor, que só nos querem intimidar. Força Costa, acho que nunca foi. Basta falares sem medos o que nós, ou muitos nós sabemos que este governo esconde. Jornalistas não querem informar. PS: Isto não é uma intervenção policial, é uma acção criminosa a. Já lá vai mu...

The October 14, 1943 air raid on Schweinfurt is an American story, and should be remembered as an example of how Americans perform when they must. The men of the Eighth Air Force were children of the depression called on to fight a Second World War. They did so without complaint or sense that they had done anything special, and did not talk of it afterwards. I think that is enough. Ira C Eaker - Commander Eighth Air Force.

Battle of the Frontiers - A Thought
Battle of the Frontiers. John Willis Palmer Interview. Before the lights went out Europe was envied and emulated throughout the world. Technology, the sciences, financial and military might, trade and names like Freud, Krupp, Pasteur, Garibaldi and others who lead in their fields or by example. The Battle of the Frontiers was a loss of innocence. After enthusiastic, patriotic declarations of war, reservist were called to the colors and shortly afterwards the battle began. Is there something wrong with us?
