	Big Wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Big Wing, also known as a Balbo, was a air fighting tactic proposed during the Battle of Britain by Acting Squadron Leader Douglas Bader and 12 Group commander Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory.
		The Big Wing contrasted with the tactics used by Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, the commanding officer of Fighter Command's 11 Group, which was taking the brunt of the Luftwaffe attacks.
		Big Wing tactics in this brief period were practicable, and failings were in part due to lack of coordination with 11 Group and the absence of VHF radios to allow the wing commander to marshal his squadrons.

		The Big Wing contrasted with the tactics used by Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, the commanding officer of Fighter Command's 11 Group.
		The general view with hindsight is that the Big Wing's combat effectiveness was inflated by Leigh-Mallory and Bader and that Park's tactics (which included the occasional use of two- and three-squadron wings) were correct for the conditions he had to fight under.
		However, there's no doubt the Big Wing had a morale impact on the German aircrews, who were often told by their superiors how the RAF was down to its "last fifty Spitfires".

	Boundless: West Wing: Big Hearted and Wrongheaded (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There was one specific scene in a recent episode of NBC's The West Wing that most clearly illustrates the reason Hollywood and the critics have fawned over this primetime hit with big, warm, media hugs and a bevy of awards.
		At the center of the action, as always, is President Josiah Bartlet (played by Martin Sheen) a big, broad-faced, impressive man. On the small screen, he comes across as blunt, honest, and proud, speaking with a certain kind of authority drawn from both a lifetime of experience and a firm belief in unadulterated principle.
		This is The West Wing, in a nutshell-dramatic, gripping, and strikingly manipulative.

		Conversely the ratio of fighters deployed for actual enemy aircraft destroyed was lower for the Big Wing compared to Park's "tip and run" continuous disruption of raiders by smaller formations of fighters "staged" along the route of the raid - though they suffered greater casualties by being outnumbered more often.
		The most often quoted reason for the Big Wing failure being that there were "not enough enemy to go round" as the Wing had too high a concentration of aircraft in the same air space looking for targets.
		Leigh-Mallory's tactic represents a rare occassion when concentration of force does not produce a knock out blow.

		One of Leigh-Mallory's subordinates was the acting leader of 242 (Canadian) Squadron, Douglas Bader, who had flown as part of Keith Park's own Big Wings over Dunkirk just a few weeks earlier.
		Their arguments paint Leigh-Mallory as a malicious schemer who arranged for Dowding's dismissal and present the Big Wing argument as a conflict over the wider handling of the battle.
		Douglas Bader would eventually lead these new wings on massive fighter sweeps over France known as CIRCUS operations.

		But if a shuttle wing is gouged by insulating foam or some other debris during liftoff, astronauts still will not be able to fix a hole the size of the one that brought down Columbia.
		The Discovery astronauts will be able to repair cracks as small as a fraction of an inch, or plug holes in the wings as big as 4 inches.
		Anything bigger – the gash in Columbia's left wing was between 6 and 10 inches – and the shuttle crew will have to move into the space station until shuttle Atlantis can be launched to rescue them.

		The modern right wing, in the opinion of Conason, is not the bastion of virtue and defender of the common man it claims to be.
		Big Lies is not so much an exposé on the vast right-wing propaganda machine, but rather an extensive political tract of, to paraphrase Orwell, "conservatives b-a-a-a-d, liberals g-o-o-o-d." It's similar to the Al Franken-Michael Moore-Molly Ivans books you see in the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble.
		Big Lies is full of them, so I'll confine myself to some of the most obvious.
