![]() I am sure that if we took the time to look in the long past, we could find long lists of Saxon, Hungarian, Turkish, Tatar, Bulgarian, Polish, whatever, people that committed crimes and were punished in what we call today "Romania". Would you be so generous as to call them "part of Romania" as well? Or shall we pick only the people that we can "admire" for something? Never mind Garibaldi... Denes asked you a very direct question that you conveniently skirted around. Miklos Horty MUST be Romanian based on your "logic". He was born in Baia Mare in "Romania". Why don't you open an exhibition about the great achievements of this great "Romanian" and his great contributions to the nation? Trust me, it is safer to avoid using others to prop your own self-esteem simply because for every "good guy" there are thousands of "bad guys". I am out of this off-topic discussion and I will return only when we are talking about aircraft. Radu |

I could have bet you would like to have the final word on that. ![]() A final specification: you forget that the history itself is making a selection, separating the “rascals” from the “heroes”, since it is not (nor could it be) a strict natural science like, say, the physics or the geology. And the culture (as in multi-cultural) is rather concerned with the bright minds then with the unknown illiterates. The visibility and notoriety are, fortunately or not, concepts central to the history and the culture. As for the term “multiculturalism” in itself, please do not answer me, but do a search for its meanings, which seem to (obstinately) escape you. It was not invented nor defined by me, please take my word for it. ![]() My best wishes, see you around here |

The life or the airplane pilot is within the limits set by the design approach of the engineering team, and sometimes by the limitations of the economic power of his country. If his country could not afford to install six machine guns per plane, but only two or four, that left the pilot fighting one handed. If the designer did not provide a big fuel tank, the pilot had no choice but to turn his plane and to land - or to drop out. If the fuel tank was not provided with a self sealing rubber layer, the pilot was in a flying bomb. If the plane was armored and sturdy, it could take more than 250 direct hits and still not going down. If the engine was air-cooled, it could sustain more hits and still function, compared with a water cooled engine. I think the pilot really mattered when an inferior plane had to face a better one. Or when lesser numbers had to face more opponents. And most important, when facing unpredictable unique situations. Like Saburo Sakai, who needed to fly five hours back to Rabaul, after an airplane bullet scratched his head and the blood spill left him half-blinded. I do not remember to vote, either. |

I was watching Discovery about Hell Cat and i realized that much of its power was not revealed. It is tactically one of best fighter plane according to me. I would go with Hell Cat.
