 BBC - WW2 People's War - A Boy's War Chapter 1
Even the few motor vehicles on the streets were limited to one nearside headlight from which all but the narrowest of beam had been obliterated by a slatted metal mask attached to it.
While on the subject of motors it might be of interest to know that with a shortage of petrol some vehicles had a rack fitted on their roofs on which sat a large inflated ‘bag’ filled with town gas, which fed the modified engine.
When the Luftwaffe had vented their spleen on that city, it was then the turn of Bristol which was not far away.

But today our aircraft is in the shop for engine overhaul, and we are on standby, crewing a brand new ’17 that will fly only if another aircraft cannot.
We are already damaged, mostly on the right side of the aircraft, but we are led in a great, graceful circle back over Neuburg, and the anti-aircraft guns take their second crack at us.
All of this – from the moment our aircraft peeled away from the formation to these moments just before our getting to the ground – all of this has taken no more than a half-hour that is both a lifetime and a momentary flash.

Two thirds of enemy aircraft shot down during the battle of Britain fel to the Hurricane.
They forced the Luftwaffe to defend, forcing them to fight under conditions not in their favor and exposing them to the numerical onslaught of the Allies which overwhelmed them.
As the allies continued to mass produce pilots and aircraft, German war production was slowing and their best pilots were being replaced with poorly trained recruits.

 History: February 24
Guido von List lectures on the ancient cult of Wotan and its priesthood to the nationalist Verein, "Deusche Geschichte." List claims that this extinct religion was the national religion of the Teutons before it came to be destroyed by Christianity.
One such German aircraft was the Focke-Wulf Ta 152, whose blueprints were purchased by the Japanese in April of 1945.
The development of the Ta 152 (the Ta stood for Kurt Tank, the designer of this aircraft) came about as the Luftwaffe saw the threat of high-altitude bombers and reconnaissance aircraft which could be fielded by the allies and which would prove difficult, if not impossible, by current Luftwaffe interceptors to engage.

Even before the war it was becoming apparent to some aircraft designers that propeller driven aircraft were nearing the limits of their possible performance.
280 aircraft were completed before the end of the war (and another 800 were found in various stages of completion in the factories), but only a handful actually saw action, in the hands of regular pilots.
History: One of the most radically different aircraft of WW2, the short endurance (eight minutes under power) but very high performance Komet was developed by Dr Alexander Lippisch, a long time advocate of the tailless concept.

 The P38 (C.C. Jordan; MakinKid; CDB100620)
The P-38 was a complex aircraft, and required time in the cockpit to learn to operate it well, but in the hands of a skilled pilot, there was very little it could not do.
As a strafing aircraft, the concentration of guns in the nose was devestating, assuming you could bring them to bear.
Then there were those who had motored along in whatever they had been flying, doing OK until one day they got to plant their feet on the rudder pedals of a Mustang and suddenly they realized that THIS was what they were born for.

 Standing Fast: German defensive doctrine on the Russian front during world war II
A few new motorized infantry divisions were activated in the year between the fall of France and the invasion of Russia, but not nearly enough to provide defensive security for the panzers or to take up the slack between the mobile units and the trudging infantry forces.
However, in 1941, the number of motorized divisions was too few and the scope of operations too great for this to occur in practice.
Manstein's XLVI Panzer Corps (the 3d Motorized Infantry Division and the Waffen SS Totenkopf Motorized Division) was detached from Panzer Group 4 and brought on a circuitous rearward march to strike the enemy's western flank on 19 August.

During much of the war the Mosquito was one of the fastest aircraft in the sky on either side, and one of the most manoeuvrable - in mock combats it could climb faster and turn more quickly than a Spitfire.
De Havilland conceived the idea of a wooden aircraft to take advantage of the underused resources and skills of the furniture industry at a time of great pressure on the conventional aircraft industry, and shortages of steel and aluminium.
Special Luftwaffe units formed to fight the Mosquito attacks were rather unsuccessful, and the Luftwaffe considered the Mosquito a superior implementation of their own "Schnellbomber" concept.

Some 8,000 units were manufactured by Junkers in Germany during late World War II and powered the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Arado Ar 234 aircraft.
These setbacks were the principal factor delaying the Luftwaffe's introduction of the Me 262 into squadron service.
One interesting feature of the 004 was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7 kW) 2-stroke motorcycle engine hidden in the intake.

 Flak WW2 88 mm Anti-Aircraft Gun
The rapidly improving performance of military aircraft, mainly their engines, meant that newer aircraft would fly at much higher altitudes and speeds than World War I aircraft.
During the World War I, various adaptations of existing artillery pieces offered reasonable performance, but were not able to reach the altitudes of the new aircraft, nor could they put up enough rounds to be effective against craft that moved by them much more quickly.
As early as 1939 the Luftwaffe, now in charge of anti-aircraft defenses instead of the army, asked for newer weapons with even better performance.

It was as though he'd been set on a course from the time he was born, a course that was laid on the stars and led through the dangerous places of the sky.
You could think of the lonely kid who always had his eyes on the sky and heard the pulse and throb of aircraft motors even when he was dreaming.
He was sitting in a rear part of the plane close to an emergency hatch and during that brief moment before the plunge the superb reflex actions that had made Beurling one of the greatest living fighter pilots helped him go right on living.

Typical of Republic aircraft, it was the heaviest prop fighter ever built (10 tons) In an overhead view it looked like a glass milk bottle, thin at the tail and thick at the nose.
Swept wings mounted far back on the fuselage, transverse coupling between wing and horizontal stabilizer while under high Q forces caused the F-101 to tend to pitch up and throw the aircraft into a flat spin that was all but uncontrollable and/or unrecoverable.
Well, John’s father was Ed Burton, Chief Design Engineer for Douglas Aircraft and basic designer of the DC-3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, the SBD Dauntless and the D-558-2, so airplanes and aviators were our natural habitat and why we hung out at the Burton home over on Bundy Drive.

 Wish list for the DEVS - SUBSIM Radio Room Forums
I think the DEVS learnt a lot from SH111 and some of these ideas will find their way into SH1V anyway, but I would suggest that a small group of trusted moderators from SH111 compile a document that includes a list of desired additions and improvements to enhance SH1V prior to its 2007 release.
It's not possible to please all of the people all the time, but it is possible to prevent having to issue 4 or 5 patches in the first three months of release of SH1V.
That list of unwanted features is great, though, if all that can be fixed for SH4, I'll be one happy gamer.
