Hey Scruffy, there will be a change to the Discord server access very soon, so just keep an eye out for that ;)

2021-11-23 19:13:02 +0000 UTCSo this is a dumb question sorry! I don't think I ever joined the discord server, is it possible to still sign up? Edit: whoops, think this is a higher tier privilege! Leaving this up in case anyone else was wondering

2021-11-18 18:55:16 +0000 UTCYou should post the questions & responses without the noise portions of the Q&A. This is what Drach does with his naval history channel. Overall you did a fine job, thank you.

2021-11-18 18:54:24 +0000 UTCQ&A: Captain Eric Brown RN holds the record for most aircraft types flown at 487, but was there somebody on the opposite side during WWII with a similar record? Maybe a test pilot who flew most, if not all captured allied aircraft types? In any case, could you discuss a bit what kind of things were generally gained by test flying captured enemy aircraft during WWII?

2021-11-18 14:45:32 +0000 UTCQ&A: Were there planes (from 1914 to 1945) that shaped doctrine or were all planes in this time shaped by doctrine? Regarding this question, where does the Ju87 fit in and what changes in design or doctrine were the outcome? (like from divebombing to CAS)

2021-11-17 08:49:20 +0000 UTCQ&A You mentioned how the C-46 became a "force multiplier" because it freed up 2 C-47 planes; are there any other examples of such force multipliers in WW2 and/or through the Cold War era of planes and were any of those as pronounced as the C-46/C-47?

2021-11-16 23:54:23 +0000 UTCI nearly missed my own question live, tuned in maybe a minute before you started. That was a very in depth discussion on the B-18 and ASW, so I got way more out of my question than I expected. Thank you for that. You can definitely keep up with Drach on this Q/A game. My only follow up question would be a good book about the B-18.
