#OTD in 1995, an F-14 Tomcat from USS Abraham Lincoln exploded due to the catastrophic failure of an engine after conducting a supersonic flyby of USS John Paul Jones. The pilot and radar intercept officer ejected and were quickly recovered with only minor injuries.

Ten surprising (but true) facts about WW2 in the air in Europe.

1) Reading their highest level meetings about the Air War, the Germans were a lot more worried by the B-17 than they were about Spitfires from 1943 onwards >

2) The Mosquito was THE most discussed Allied aircraft in RLM conferences in Berlin and at Görings lodge, Karinhall.

3) The P-47, famed for being a safe ground attack plane actually has very little armour plating. Less than a Spitfire IX by weight. The big radial engine and vast array of turbocharger piping and the turbo being judged to be adequate substitutes for it.

4) German radar had a very difficult time picking up the Mosquito, due to the combination of very high speed, (usually) high altitude and low overall metal content. Göring subjected General Wolfgang Martini (in charge of German radio developments) to a lengthy harangue because of this.

5) Göring called German radar scientists "Nincompoops" for not keeping up with Allied developments. Erhard Milch patiently reminded him that the Nazis had long ago banned all amateur radio clubs for security reasons, thus later robbing them of a generation of skilled radio-youngsters.

"Er hat Genie, und wir haben Dösköppe."

Said Goring on 8th October 1943.

6) Nearly all the top British aero engine development scientists and engineers were invited to talk about their work in Berlin in October 1938 to a huge delegation of German engineers doing the same job. All accepted and went to Germany to present their latest thoughts on military aero engines, including Jimmy Ellor from Rolls-Royce, and Roy Fedden from Bristol (Sir Harry Ricardo had done the same in 1937).

7) Allied knowledge of German synthetic fuel developments was so extensive because British and American firms had built, and also underwritten (insured) many of the plants themselves. So we already had the plant blueprints.

8) One American report in 1945, stated that Ernst Udet had been "eliminated", this was almost certainly a mistake.... probably, but was no less strange than the fact the British press reported him dead months before he actually died.

9) German Secretary of State for Air, Erhard Milch turned up to an Air Ministry meeting claiming to have recieved an anonymous tip off letter outlining all the technical failures of Luftwaffe policy, the letter co-incidentally praised Milch. When asked to produce the letter in the meeting, Milch casually said he had already burned it. He had probably faked the entire story in order to criticize the regime without risking his career.

10) Although Germany lost thousands of engineers and technicians by sending them to the front with conscription. America actually did the same thing, rendering their R&D activities at the central research facility of Wright-Field much harder, because many of their best people had been put into the forces.

They say it's the World Cup, but it's not even a cup. And you couldn't fit the whole world into a cup anyway, obviously that's not possible. We would notice. They don't tell you that.
