Loving this. What about a bomber version of the Arrow V?

I think that the Anabaptists would have continued to be a "fringe: sect as they were rather against the idea of a "State" or official religion, were often hunted down and killed by authorities on both the Reformers (Lutheran, Calvinist, etc.) and the Roman Catholic church. Persecution started...

I rather like the F-106, but I feel it would NOT have been a good aircraft for the RAF in its existing operational form. It is a LARGE fighter - I walked around one on display at the AMC Museum at Dover AFB - may have been difficult to work with on UK bases. Also, I seem to remember that it...

Definitely keep going! It's kinda scary & against what I believe, but it's good reading! Bobindelaware

BUMP! Bobindelaware

One very disturbing scenario was Phillip Wylie's TRIUMPH, in which a nuclear war between the USSR and the US (triggered by a soviet invasion of Yugoslavia) led to massive exchanges that killed everyone in the Northern Hemisphere except for a small handful in a SuperShelter in Connecticut...

I'm not in DC, but I've been wearing hats for about 12 years now. I had a severe case of sunburn on my bald head and it was miserable! And to make things worse, I developed a precancerous growth on my forehead, so hats were in order. My favorites? Fedoras (Black, dark brown, medium brown), a...

the photos are outstanding . . . even if the story is depressing (so far) Bobindelaware

What he said. And keep it up with the models over on the WhatIf pages! Maybe you can post some here? Bobindelaware (Bobbo)

OOC: So, who really cares if it is ASB? Let's just continue the thread . . . IC: I remember getting evacuated in one of the last flights from Dover AFB, we (about two hundred civilians) were originally headed for Denver, but something happened to the plane's electronics. We wound up in...

I tend to agree with you, in addition, the Continental United States also has a lot of "retreat room" similar (but smaller that!) to what the USSR did in WWII (OTL) and could absorb a lot of territory being occupied. OTOH, though, a LOT of the population and manufacturing centers are on the...

ASB, Weird, just plain different, overused, who cares? Still sounds like fun!! Bobindelaware

I agree. Too often we look at Carter & see a bleeding heart Liberal. However, it's important to remember that he was a Navy Veteran with experience in Nuclear (missile??) subs & probably understood - as much as anyone could - the effects of nuclear war. Bobindelaware

Well, Jerry was a bit of a weirdo, dated Linda Ronstadt (lucky sod!), was in California Left-Wing La-La land & generally strange. I think he was a vegetarian, too. Bobindelaware

WC Amen, AMEN, AMEN!! And maybe the USAF bought some instead of RCAF buying worn-out F-101s? ANd for my 2 cents worth, in International Motorsports: 1958: Stirling Moss wins the WC in a Vanwall 1959: Rich playboy Lance Reventlow hires Colin Chapman (who's struggling to keep his Lotus...
