• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Frozen B-29 ... to see

Saw that documentary when it originally aired some years ago. Very good doc...shame the B-29 went up in flames.

During the opening monologue about the B-29, something jumped out as me as just wrong.

"The pennicle of the B-29's service came when the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and ended the war."

Hello...Bocks Car dropped the bomb on Nagisaki...and only after that bomb did Japan surrender and the war in the Pacific come to an end.

OBIO
 
I saw that doc too, was a tragic story. All that effort, one chap died and then to loose it to a fire. Such a shame.
