Channel Update - New Books

I have a funny story about my Fokker D-8 stick model that had only one glorious flight off the side of a cliff in California. How do i send you three photos for this.?

Great! Hopefully lots of first rate Hurricane sources in said books!!!.

Make a video about the F101 before the SR-71. Hardly anyone knows anything about the F101. An SR-71 will be one amoung hundreds.... (If you make an SAC video, see if you see anything of some SAC (long distance) Air Rescue service in the fifties/sixties. They may be pure fictional from the Blue Gemini novels. Or they may have existed as some underfunded allmost sucidal service with Dakotas...)

I think I reacted to "little" regarding the Skyraider, than you did yourself :-)

REJECTED- .... 1) -The elliptical wing of the Spitfire came from an idea, rejected earlier by the Germans. 2) - The Germans picked up on English ideas of the jet engine that were rejected by the English authorities at the time. .......... Looks like there’s a theme here. Ya think.?

Above, i have used rows of dots to try to make paragraph separations. I find it difficult to read text that is all bunched together. Also, the coding fights efforts to edit text. (At least it allows editing. ) ......... Can anything be done.?

You mention the Phantom, one of my top notch designs. ( i’m a painter; i think visually. ) what kills me about the Phantom jet is the downward-tilted horizontal stabilizers. ...... This leads to the QUESTION.: To what extent is the ‘look’ of a design element taken seriously.? The tail of the Phantom has a threatening look. Also the drooping nose has a predatory look. ..... And I think i heard that aspects of the Spitfire design were arrived at from gut feelings. Is it all math or does art come into aircraft design.?

Well done on the book purchases! The books you bought were all on interesting aircraft and seemed to be in good condition.
