"The only bad question is the one you don't ask."
I never want my show to be excluding listeners with unexplained acronyms or jargon concepts. I try to explain things as I go… but maybe some stuff sneaks by! Send me your questions! include your name (how to pronounce it) and where you are from! Until next time! - Bryan

It's the third in my Thunderstorm series and we've finally arrived the P-47 Thunderbolt!

...Soooo... why did the RAF have a fighter with NO forward firing guns??? Today I look at Boulton Paul's Defiant and the concept of the "turret fighter".
