RE: A video of bombers that were forced to dogfight with fighter aircraft, and lived to tell the tale!
haha! oh my gosh smithlabs, great video! wow. totally amazing and i'm thankful that they can use computer animation to demonstrate what happened.
These were Real MEN that climbed into those planes! I like the animation too, especially where the pilots themselves have direct input!
I had read about the B17. They were the misfits, the crew that was at the end of the list for aircraft, for various reasons. They found this B-17 (tail number 666) in the scrap, because it was so very shot up; but they could get their hands on it!
So they dragged it out of the scrapheap, and rebuilt it, instead of sitting on their hands and waiting for a plane. They got it flight worthy, and found they were still at the bottom of the list for missions! So they started taking the crap missions no one else wanted to fly.
This mission was one of those, and they did it so well, that they were pulled out of aircrew hell and removed from the shit list, and put back on rotation.
This was the MOST decorated air mission of WWII, and there were TWO CMHs awarded!:'(well sir that was amazing but maybe you should consider doing some writing and tell everyone about it instead of playing video games all day. some or most wouldn;t be able to take the time to watch that video.
I like to write war History, BUT, it is very poorly reviewed. I will try again, but usually it is a Yawwn to steemit. If I find a better category to sort it under, maybe then I will try again.
:'(sir smithlabs...what is poorly reviewed? you mean your posts don't get the attention? do you use the "history" tag?
I used History, and I had two people drop me. Not a real problem, I am a big boy; I will just keep on posting.
I just have odd tastes in my posts I guess. That is okay, I just need to find people as crazy as I am to read them, ROFLOL!
:)no no no sir smithlabs you don't have odd tastes. Your problem is your lack of followers, that's why I suggested to slow down on the posts and concentrate on contacting people and you will gain the followers and many of them will like what you post and stay with you.
what do you mean, two people dropped you? how did they do that, just stopped commenting?
WOW, I replied, and it did Not work?The engagement league has helped me add followers, and I am happy about that! All they need do is to un-follow on my page, and they disappear. I recently had hippiewithagun un follow me; for paying my real estate taxes...sad to see, I like the kid.
I wonder if steemit can keep up? The main thing that give me confidence is their recovery ability when crashed. Are they floundering? Steem dollars are pretty weak right now. I was told that I must break 500 steem to be a minnow, so I guess I am pond scum. BUT I have been worse than that before, ROFLOL! They tell me I should post 3 to 4 times a day....
So I will keep posting my pond scum and hope for the best. Even at it's worst, it is still better than FB!
:)sir smithlabs..how do you even know if someone has unfollowed you? I probably lots of those.
And who told you to post 3 or 4 times a day? I've read alot of material from successful members but I've never heard that. But I mean if that's what you like to do then that's fine.
yes 500 sp becomes a Minnow, why don't you just buy enough steem to get you to that?
for now we're both lowly plankton or redfish but pond scum sounds more colorful and I've been called worse too! lol.
