    McDonnell Model 28 "Navy Fighter with TG-180 engine" (24 October 1944)

    http://aviationarchives.blogspot.com/2022/04/mcdonnell-aircraft-model-28.html Note - the McDonnell Model List says TG-100 engine which is wrong - that was a turboprop.

    USS Johnston Found in the Philippine Sea

    Saw this article earlier. The USS Johnston DD-557, has been discovered at a depth of over 21,000 feet. As many know, she was part of Taffy 3 during the Battle of Samar. Her officers and crew showed insane amounts of courage in fighting off Kurita's much larger force before being sunk.

    Planned 1944 attack on Suez Canal with Biber midget subs?

    Has anybody come across any more information on this plan? Presumably the units involved would have been the K-Verband and KG 200, over half of the surviving BV 222s having been transfered to the latter (II./KG 200?) from Lufttransportstaffel 222 in June 1944. There should have been around 9...
