    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I managed to obtain Adolf Galland's autograph on a copy of his book "The First & The Last".
    He was out here many years ago doing some aerospace work.

    Maybe a "History" forum would be better.

    That was a very interesting read. Recently I also read "Stuka Pilot" by Hans Rudal. I highly recommend it as well. As a kid I read and loved "reach for the Sky".

    I read it a few times in high school, great read. He would have been an interesting man to have met.

    The German pilots dominated the "aces" list because they were pushed very hard by the generals. Eric Hartmann in fact survived the war and I think he migrated to USA after the war!!!

    I think that the British pilots had to go through a far more rigorous/credible process to confirm what they "said" was a kill, actually was one.
