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.

In 1945, 4 USAAF P47Ds made a train strafing in my village Killing
many civil people. ( Actually the train was supposed to carry
german troops).
My father was a child and he told me many times this fact.
He was very impressed by the loud roar of the 4 planes diving toward the convoy. Hundreds of 12,7 mm cases where everywhere
along the railway and like the other children he picked up lot of them as memory. I'll post a pic of one of them (Now I'm unable to do it
via smartphone). In conclusion the P47D for my is like a part of
my land, is a memory of my father and indirectly of my story.
The 4 aircraft took-off in Toscana ( out of Florence ) northbound
and before the train they dropped bombs near Sondrio.
If I'll have the time I'll post more details of this mission.
I've found also the name of the pilot leader (21 years old).
