Quote:Thanks for that info, that I did not know... yeh. Guess when the russkies got a hold of the B-29? Oh and btw, it's not that they held it for a while, no. They never gave it back, period....Soviets acquired the downed B-29s in 1944, when the USSR wast still a neutral. Superforts were flying through the CBI theater long before the Navy captured Pacific islands close enough for overwater attacks.
The Portuguese and the Swiss didn't give birds back, either (because they repainted and used the machines themselves).
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
