WW1 Red Fokker Dr1 takes to the skies

Nah… this is a cat!

Of course we can never forget “One Eye” Saburo Sakai. He managed to go up against the best-trained pilots of all time and survive. Outnumbered and outgunned by Wildcats, Hellcats, and Corsairs, he still managed to rack 64 kills (though the Japanese military did not credit individual pilots with victory claims). Plus, Sakai was a man of character.

Well I bought the game and played till 4.40 this morning. I can just about deal with the crafting to get all the other stuff.

Contrary to my expectations naming stars, planets and animals is rather fun; I found one ugly big misshapen beast on my home planet and named it Imperious Leader.

@MrMalachiCrunch:

I was told the family history of the Churchill’s originated about that time.  I really should verify this but a cousin went to somerset house 20 some odd years ago to do some research on the family tree.  I was told the genesis was a French knight who was granted land in England after a victory in about this era.  Shortly after that the family tree diverged to my fathers side and Winston’s side!  Normally I would wish for English victories all the time but this once has a personal connection. Had the Saxons won there might never have been a Winston Churchill….or me!

Long live William!
I know more good things came of the invasion, than bad ones.
I was being naughty.

I see no problem signing your free will away to some computer who will put you in the perfect job for society, will genetically engineer your children to propegate the species and will determine the most efficient utilization of your resources.

No matter what kind of battle, it is the ordinary people who suffered a lot.

I remember reading about a balloonist in the 80’s who was trying to circumnavigate the world.

He crossed into soviet airspace over Romania accidentally and was shot down.

But that wasn’t the best part lol… the pilots who shot him down recieved medals for “bravery in the face of extreme danger”

L O L !

Another case where a balloon was mistaken as an “UFO”. Lol

Well Garg, those pilots WERE flying Soviet aircraft. Pretty brave if you ask me.

It wasn’t PERFECT. But they still have an EXCELLENT record, and I’m PROUD of their acomplishments as I’m sure the bomber crews they protected were.
