Happy Doolittle Raid Day, America

[MadBurgerMaker]

No since I find the celebration of battles to be bad taste.

Quiet, you.  The Battle of Flowers holiday is the best.

[CountDeMoney]

No, not a holiday.

Fortunately we do not celebrate battles which I think is in bad taste.

Fuck you, you America hater.

Those Mitchells were pretty versatile.

I liked the ones with the 75mm cannon in the nose.

The flight and ground crews did a lot of experimenting with adding weapons. Some had multiple .50 caliber machine guns fitted into the airplane's nose, for a more devastating strafing attack.

Should have added those laterally like in Vietnam.  There wasn't enough German planes to intercept them, they could just blow the shit out of Wehrmacht at their leisure.

They did that anyway. All those Slargoses being chased down and strafed by Thunderbolts gives me a murder boner.

[Eddie Teach]

We should make the anniversary of Manzikert a worldwide holiday.

The 75mm in the Puffs were useful for more for illumination starshell than HE.  The HE rounds just weren't accurate enough to hit anything even if they could be aimed.
