A few photos I took at the Museo Storica Aeronautica Militare when I visited back in November (thanks to a case of the Japanese cold back in July leaving me with a spare vacation week).
Fiat Cr.42Intended as a transitional machine, it ended up being the most produced Italian aircraft (1674 built) and served on the front line in Italy until 1943 (ie probably to the end of Italy's war).A bit closer to home a collection in Sweden gathered enough funds to buy 11 of these for the Finnish air force during the Winter War. That war ended before they were delivered though, and Finland wondered fi they could perhaps have the money instead, resulting in the Swedish air force buying them from the Finns and putting them to work as recon aircraft, their sue as fighters being rejected due to lacking performance. However when the US stopped deliveries of the Seversky EP-1-106 and Vultee Vanguard things had to be re-evaluated and Sweden ended up buying another 60 for use as fighters based on that being just about the only thing anyone was willing to sell. And that's by and large why Sweden has kept SAAB in the fighter making business ever since.
IMAM Ro.43Designed for use on the Trento and Zara class cruisers, it also ended up serving on Littorio and Vittorio Veneto. This is only surviving one.
How do we have an air force and whatever the guys who shoot the ICBMs are? The constitution doesn't mention airforce or space force, it mentions Army, Navy and Militia. Shouldn't the air force, the ICBMs dudes and space force be divisions of the navy like the marines are? There are no limitations on the navy. Article I section 8 clause 13 just says>To provide and maintain a Navy;and then doesn't elaborate
>>64695561Constitutionally they are. Originalism isn't literalism. Congress can raise armies, can raise and spend money for the common defense, and pass all laws necessary and proper to secure those ends. That confluence of enumerated powers puts to bed any question about the legitimacy of the branches.
>>64695576Just amend the constitution when you need to do so. That's what amendments are for.
>>64694607You wouldn't believe this but they weren't sure ICBMs were a workable thing. In 1776, they settled on "arms".
>>64695262Why isn't is part of the organized militia?
>>64695734Why call a constitutional convention just to provide for the existence of the air force when you can simply reinterpret the constitution in such a manner as to allow the existence of the air force (which by the way is the explicit manner in which the constitution is designed to function)?
>>64675599what's the best game you can think of that's =>$5 on the steam sale?

>>64695442SPAS was already big in 80s action movies
>>64695601This. It was big in action shows before modern video games. And not just low-budget B-tier stuff either. The SPAS was in Terminator, RoboCop, Jurassic Park, Bad Boys, La Femme Nikita, Miami Vice, Star Trek DS9 and Voyager, Beverly Hills Cop....it was fucking everywhere in 80's and 90's movies/TV.The problem was people thinking it was good simply because it looks cool on screen.

I've been living overseas for a few years, and I'll probably need to move to China soon. I really want to join the Air Force as soon as I get back.Am I fucked for anything needing a clearance? My wife is Chinese, too.
Does the army do anything better than the AF? Debating between just these two at this point.
>>64695317Yes, the army has 19k and 19c; otherwise, no.Though, the Air Force is the least...everything branch for the enlisted side. The officers do all the actual cool jobs in the AF.
>>64694978Yeah you're cooked.>>64695317Better opportunities for choosing your own adventure, for lack of a better term. The pathways to go to SOF, commission, become a warrant officer, go to a cool duty station, or go to a cool school are a lot more obvious and easy to apply for. Also, from what I've seen, the Army has the best tuition assistance policy of any branch.
>>64693068While what >>64694865 said mostly rings true, >>64693381 is also true. Airborne units are mostly high speed.
Were bombers instrumental to WW2?
>>64693947>finding him and putting enough gunfire into the plane to force it to land in Chinese held waters where the Admiral was killed or captured.Was it ever cross referenced with Japanese sources? Also anything interesting with a bat or GB/GT weapons?
>>64690368>defenseless fishermenTotal war isn't very nice and involves un-based things but that's what Japan wanted.Commerce raiding isn't fishing boats though, it's freighters.
>>64694253It was Vice Admiral Yamagata who was intercepted, he was on his way to be promoted to full Admiral and to be assigned as Naval Undersecretary. Can be a bit of a hassle to research, as the algorithms see you looking for a Jap admiral getting intercepted and shove Yamamoto stuff at you.>Also anything interesting with a bat or GB/GT weapons?Lots of early teething issues
>>64695183Thanks, this stuff is wild.

Which is best for executions?Sword? Or axe?
>>64695743Islam is for the sons of Ishmael.
>>64695741I suppose the difference there is this is generally considered an oddity and very bad thing in western white culture. Ignoring the arguments to be made about how many people are actually white and not da jooz. Compared to the regularity the muslim rape gangs form in the UK.
>>64695789No
>>64695762>when it came time to decapitate Anne Boleyn for example they had a master swordsman come from France specifically to do the job.Imagine somewhere in teh future.
>>64695762Common criminals were usually hanged with a rope, because it was easier, everyone could perform it from the crowd and the hanging body served as grimm reminder for everyone. Nobles were beheaded, either with a sword or an axe, because it was a quicker way to go and the reason why professional executioners became a thing was because the families of condemned noblemen paid good money for them for a quick chop, so their relatives were spared from a painful death at the hands of a drunk man at arms with a dull blad. In some places, nobles were strangled to death with a silk cord, because they believed that spilling noble blood was a sin, but hanging was also humiliating, so they were killed in the gayest manner possible.

>>64694278Popular Mechanics, number one source for future predictions won't happen if they say they do and will certainly happen if they say its fake and gay.
>>64687720>Railguns, US Shipbuilding and a 35,000 ton bad idea?Yes, it is a bad idea. The FF(X) is Trump's Death Star which is just a "scary big weapon" to satisfy his enourmous ego, but ultimately just impractical in real-life warfare. But as we know, Palpatine was wrong and Admiral Thrawn was right with his idea of having a numerous fleet of small but fast ships that could attack, counter-attack and retract with ease.
>>64694240So they went to the trouble of building a carrier, getting an exemption for it in the Washington Naval Treaty, and doing substantial flight ops off of it (for the time). But somehow they were still completely against naval aviation until "the British showed them?"Sure, bud.
>>64694278Watching a LazerPig video that featured this exact article 2 hours before the post was made. That's how he found it.
>>64694359>and will certainly happen if they say its fake and gaylol, any example of this? Something they said was unrealistic and then just came here to stay?

>>64691319yes, but their airforce is considerably less retarded than the rest of the country, india's is not.also AWACS intergration.the fact that chinks are still harping on about it as if it's this great victory against le west is pretty embarrassing.

Not much of a statement besides that the flight time was a little under three hours, they mentioned it 'flew along the flight orbit set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea' which typically means they did something fancy like draw a pair of figure eights or something like that to show off.The statement was very short and there were only two images, usually this means that the next day there will be another announcement with significantly more detail when they know it didn't go wrong.The long flight time is why the launch images are at early dawn but the impacts are in daylight.1/2

Paper mills are solid economically; besides always having a domestic market if you have low labor costs and a print shop you can always get export products. Looking at the pictures alot of print work and stuff like wall paper will be done under the labeling of other nations.

If you save them ignore your browsers warnings, open image in another tab then you then open them in paint and save as .jpeg if you want to use them. Don't screen shot, most of them are frame captures from hi def motion cameras and you will lose details not to mention they will not fit on your screen unless it is x-box hueg.
