It's about the German program to build long range bombers by Messerschmitt, BV, Horton, etc. that would reach across the Atlantic and hit American cities.

Perhaps the main reason this did not happen is that American and British bombers were destroying German production facilities.

But let's take all of that out and assume that the Germans had had the full resources to build as... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (N Sengupta) http://nfisgetoutthevote.yuku.com/topic/3938 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 23:46:09 GMT <![CDATA[ Cancelled Aircraft That Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled? ]]> http://nfisgetoutthevote.yuku.com/topic/3939/t/Cancelled-Aircraft-That-Shouldn-t-Have-Been-Cancelled-.html Which planes, such as the XB-70 or Me-263 perhaps, do you wish had made it into mass production and how well do you think they would have done?

I think that one of the Iowa class battleships fired something like 4000 main gun rounds in its career. Is that a record? Did many battleships ever fire more than a handful of volleys? Did more than a few ever fire more than 100 rounds?

And what about carriers?

What do you think is the Greatest Tank of All Time?

There are several aspects to this question. Feel free to put forth your nomination and defend it based on these and any others that you can think of.

Aloha,

Out of which planets does our solar system consist of?
Is there a specific boundary of our solar system and why was this chosen?
Not too long ago scientists did discover Sedna, about 8 light hours away from the sun (the earth is only 8 minutes away from the sun) when will we find another one?
