Interesting stories. Regarding the Czech Spitfires, one of the pilots was Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin who would have been the first to achieve Mach 1 in the X-1 but wanted a reported $150,000 in 1947 money to do it so that opened a seat for Chuck Yeager who DID go faster than the speed of sound and the rest is history.

survival against all the terror that was being arranged against THEM from day one and even before. Why can't you see the facts of what was happening in the Middle East? And specifically to the Jews? Did your parents teach you this insane hatred, was it handed down through the generations like it usually is? Why not get educated with the truth and break the hateful cycle?

@VanHoucke .. the Jews and Israel know, having learnt the hard way, that they can only depend on themselves …

Mr van Houcke, I rather think The World is about to see Global Nazi Terrorism for what it is: Nazi Terror aimed at ALL the peoples of the Planet. Just ask what the Russian People have just faced in The Donbas: A Nazi attack planned from right at the heart of the German secret service. The Nazi-infiltrated BND literally planned to start World War Three using Ukraine. Thank goodness The Nazis have failed. I am an old timer too. I watch Antisemites like you project the worst aspects of the Hatred in your character onto The Jewish People. You cannot stand the fact that Your side murdered 50 million white folks in World War Two: A very basic psychology. You murdered the best whites, ‘for Lebensraum in The East for The Ethnic Germans’. Hitler’s own words. Goebbels said at the end: ‘Our grandchildren will finish what we have started.’ The result: The Nazi Terrorist murders in 2014 in The Donbas which started the Ukraine War. We know. And now so do the people of the World. We have also monitored who had a hand in the Twin Towers 9/11. This is all to come. It does not look good for Global Nazism.
