Now its working. Before I just got a little red crossphongn wrote:Odd, for most people it was working. I changed the host to SDN, though.
In regards to that fic(Only up to chapter 4 atm): Australia as a military power. Hmm, interesting. Do they actually do anything?

I'd like to know what the plot is before I emotionally invest myself in this literary experience.

Lord Halifax succesfully executes a coup in 1940, deposing Churchill and agreeing to Nazi demands (no bomber command, defensive fighters only, etc.) Fast forward to 1947 when the US decides that it is time to finish of the Nazi menace.CaptainChewbacca wrote:I'd like to know what the plot is before I emotionally invest myself in this literary experience.
Fairly right wing fic based on if Britain was taken out of the war with Lord Halifax coup in 1940. The right wing stuff isnt very subtle at all.CaptainChewbacca wrote:I'd like to know what the plot is before I emotionally invest myself in this literary experience.
Nor is it really that long.

One part of me was shuddering with horror at the idea of wiping out an entire western country for the deeds of a tiny minority of Nazis. All those beautiful blond women...
The other part was sniggering. So long, Krautheads!

the part about making bombers that go faster then missles at the end was funny. imagining bombers going 15000 mph would be cool (for ICBM speeds)

There where many other pusher designs after WW1, the B-36 and some other planes made use of it because the engines don't distrube the airflow over the wings nearly as much, thus giving better lift.Isolder74 wrote:

i dont think they would be in the speed range of an ICBM. unless they have a titan rocket strpped on the roofphongn wrote:It isn't that the B-100 can go faster than ICBMs, but that they are in that range and that they can maneuver.
