• 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.

Daveroo

Members +
tonight on the smithsonian channel was a fairly interresting show on the island of tinian,they were searching for "dumped" remains of fatboy and tallman (or whatever they were called) nuke bombs that may have been dumped in the sea at the end of WWII,i did not know they seeded the islands with trees and plants after the war to discurage future use..and i never knew that a few B29s ( 15 of them? ) had reversable props...
 
I'd like to watch that show. I don't get the Smithsonian Channel (never heard of it before), but perhaps it will show up on one of the educational channels.
