RE: A strange pacific war tale

<r> As best I can piece together, <br/>
the story first appeared in<br/>
print within a book&nbsp; written<br/>
by this fellow, Col. Robert L. Scott.<br/>

<r> I&nbsp; found some hits that relate roughly similar stories<br/>
all of which concern a solitary P-40.<br/>

A strange pacific war tale

<t> Read this quite a few years ago<br/>
and the story lodged in my memory.<br/>

RE: The Peschanka Bone Fields: Did/Do They Exist?

<r> I was browsing a war relics site and saw pictures of a Russian pilot who had been flying a lend-lease Hurricane.<br/>
He was shot down and crashed into a swamp. His body and flying gear were so well preserved by the muck<br/>
that he looked as if he died only a few days ago instead of 60 odd ...

RE: Damage Report in East Front 2?

<t> you might want to check the options->details setting.<br/>
It has a low and medium setting that can be ticked.<br/>
If its on low you wont see the damage box. Ticking medium<br/>
should allow you to see the damage box. At least thats<br/>
how it works in the Matrix east front game.<br/>

a panzer battalion sized force in Army Group South and<br/>
