A very detailed and fascinating narrative in six parts by Kristin Ann High in the Avalanche Press site, about the German battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau history, actions and fate in World War Two: http://www.avalanchepress.com/scharnhorst_1.php

Researching about old ASW systems: About the Be-6 Madge, most of the data get here, after a painful, long and sometimes funny work with automatic translator (the acronyms in Russian are most of times "translated" in absurd in other terms, in other not-related acronyms or in impossible full texts phrases, "noncircular" should be omnidirectional, "machine" on this context is clearly "aircraft", and not "car", and a lot more): http://www.airwar.ru/enc/sea/be6.html Maximum height 6100 meters/médium. Máximum speed sea level = 203 knots. Máximum speed médium height = 224. Cruise speed sea level = 135. Cruise speed médium height = 140. Máximum range, unload…

One Soviet Defector Shoved Japan Into the Superpower Struggle (War is Boring)

Reading a lot about the 50's and 60's warplanes, I've find this curious and hilarious incident previouly unknown to me, in http://www.vectorsite.net/avjavlin.html The incident as relation with the little known Beira Patrol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beira_Patrol http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JI...55/ai_87146676/ Not mentionated in the interesting site http://www.britains-smallwars.com/main/index1.html The incident remembers me also about sci-fi tales with syntetic bugs or microorganisms eating materials as plastics or metals, and getting out of control. I remember also the actual search of bacteries for eating chemical, oil, or radioactive waste…

Digesting the new planes in the DB. I think these sites are worth of mention: About the Buccaneer, SAAF and other SA planes (on this site they're great ideas and data for the DB. The data values I think were obtained directly of the SAAF, and illustrated some obscure data no habitually represented): http://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/a...uccaneer-s-mk50 IPMS of South Africa: http://img.ipmssa.za.org/index.php/knowled...neer-smk50-saaf Splendid site about the Buccaneer: http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/0_Contents.html

A deployment map on a very interesting site: http://www.anti-aircraft.co.uk/Bloodhound_map.html

It's not only the Horn of Africa pirate crisis what remember us the importance of boarding parties also in modern times. Casually I was looking today this photos of the DE-1074 USS Harold E. Holt in the Mayaguez incident, and I think it's worth of sharing: http://www.navsource.org/archives/06/06021074.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayaguez_incident

I recently borrowed Air War South Atlantic a 1983 book written by Jeffrey Ethell and Alfred Price from the local library. As I mentioned in the H4 folder, I need a recommendation on the Allied Submarine campaign versus Imperial Japan. Any suggestions please.

A very interesting site, not very updated, but with many very in-deep articles (In Brazilian Portuguese): http://sistemasdearmas.com.br/ As example, towed decoy systems: http://sistemasdearmas.com.br/ge/der1rebocados.html
