Re: Interesting Aircraft: Dornier 335 Pfeil As a long time lurker, this is the thread that got me to register and post. There's a reason that Crimson Shadows is a game. This is a Dornier con job. The performance numbers come from the sales department by way of the Making-Things-Up-With-Math Office. Look at the _weight_ of the plane (and reports on its flying qualities) and you will see another story. If you want a really high performance late war twin-engine fighter, look at the De Havilland Hornet, Grumman F7 or Kurt Tank's Ta154. Admittedly they look boringly conventional, but there is a reason that all the production fighters have the same configuration. Well, except for the North Amrican P-82.

Re: Strange "UFO" Granny got one of those for Tweety once. It didn't end well for Sylvester.

Re: Democratic Republics in Fantasy Worlds? Long time lurker first time ...blah blah special interest in the subject blah blah. Want a period specific republic that isn't one of those classic corrupt trading states? Look up the "Dittmarsch Republic."
