I've read a book before that stated pilots of the P-47 who flew the P-38 would not go back to the sluggish/slow jug. The P-38 was designed as a fast level flyer, and quick-climber, which it did well.

I will never forget the stories my grandfather told me. He was old - having served in the Great Patriotic War had worn him down over the years. Yet I don't think the war itself is what had wrinkled his face and weakened his stride. I think it had to do with something he told me when I was young.

One day, when I was resting on his knee as grandchildren are prone to do, I asked him,

"What was the war like?"

"Well child, I didn't really fight in the war," he said, "I took part in the negotiations with the tzarists."

I quickly lost interest, opting to play hoop and stick on the lawn instead.

I was not until years later that I reflected on his words. There weren't any tzarists in WWII, they had been pushed aside much earlier. Or so I thought. When grandfather died, an old chest was among the items he had willed to me. Nobody could find a key to the lock, so it was cut open. Inside were large stacks of documents, and I slowly picked through the old, brittle papers over the course of many winter nights.

I was astonished at what the documents described. They told how the Tunguska Event of 1908 was actually a thermonuclear explosion carried out by the research division of the Tzar government. The yield - 30 megatons - was so great that the Tzar Nicholas II began to feel very powerful. He ignored his advisors, and entered the Great War against the wishes of his nation. He thought he could use the nuclear bomb to maintain his grip on power if need be.

Eventually, his most trusted associate, General Poplavski (who is almost unknown to this day) betrayed Nicholas, and tried to make a bid for power. Poplavski was the man in charge of the nuclear weapons. At the same time, the revolution was already underway. It turns out that neither Poplavski nor Nicholas were competent enough to maintain their grip on power, and their fighting only weakened opposition to the revolution.

When the new Soviet government was established, Poplavski was still at large with a following of loyal military officers. The general still had control over the nuclear weapons, and the Soviet government began a large campaign to negotiate with the rogue Poplavski. The Soviet Union did not want Poplavski to launch nuclear attacks either on itself or on other countries, as the new Union was weak and did not want to make many enemies. To reduce global suspicion of the internal affairs of the Soviet Union, the KGB sent many spies to the United States to create the impression that the Soviets were seeking nuclear technology. This way, the UN would not suspect that rogue tzarist generals were holding the Soviet Union hostage with nuclear bombs.

About 30 years later, my grandfather had the idea to offer Poplavski a large tract in Siberia in exchange for cooperation. This offer, the most generous yet offered, was accepted. In celebration, the Soviets detonated one of their low-yield bombs on 29 August 1949. There still remained, however, many irate officers of Poplavski's who claimed the negotiations were invalid. The Soviet Union was unable to attain true rival status to the US until each one of those officers was reigned in. It took many years to do so, which is why the claimed Soviet stockpile did not surpass that of the US until the 1970s.

about as on-topic as looseleaf's anecdotal annoyance

ah well, it's all for naught now that i explained it

things are ruined when u explain em

unless...

at the louvre there is a little sign that says "mona lisa"

maybe some artist could say that the little sign is the work of art, and that u should look at the painting if u cant figure out what the sign means

so, um... maybe this post is where u should start, and then read my earlier post to make sense of this here message
