That shit’s wind chill. Been that way here for a week here in Iowa. Big deal. Suck it up buttercup.

Here’s Baudette & International Falls, MN actual temp. No wind chill. Fortunately, minimal to no wind blowing so wind chill temps are the same.

Neither one of you is a fuckwit. There's just a world of differences in increments of progression of improvements in aircraft produced. Yeah, he's right, the V-1710-135 was used in the P-63 King Cobra. It's not just a single stage supercharger, it had that and a turbocharger. As you mentioned Soulezoo, politics (and ignorance) played a big part in not further developing more increase in power to gain performance. A lot with the V-1710. The P-37 was one of the original variants of what was to become the P-40. It had a supercharger, but it was canned as the War Department saw "no need" for it. People talk like the P-40 was a POS because it didn't have high altitude performance. It could have, but the powers that be shut it down without having any idea of what we really needed. Add to the fact the "Bomber Mafia" was in charge and shut down a LOT of good ideas, because they didn't think we needed it. Kind of ironic they got duped into thinking they were the 'schnitza' when in reality, the commanding generals of WWII used them as bait to draw German fighters up.

In any case, there is a world of information people need to look up before posting on what aircraft had what in WWII. Two of the best resources I've found are "Jane's: WWII Aircraft" and "JG26-Top Guns of the Luftwaffe" (chronological account of what was used where and what against). The JG-26 book also gives the German account of Robert S. Johnsons narrow escape from death from the German side. ("Thunderbolt")

Progress was made so fast in WWII, it just boggles the mind. We went from open cockpit 1000 hp engined aircraft to pressurized 3000 hp engined aircraft in that time. You really have to break down which variant you are talking about along with which engine it was fitted with.

Cloth covered biplanes are still in front line service at the start of WWII, and unlike most people I count the winter war as the starting of it, but here or there biplanes served pretty deep as front line combat aircraft. If in may of '41 you send biplanes off to put a world of hurt on "the most advanced battleship in the world" that is a front line unit. Before that they put a world of hurt at taranto, this was the world third largest and a very modern navy at the time IIRC.

The american planes did well in the USSR, and they (the commies) went to great pains to down play the aid. There the air war did not reach as high as it did in the west. For the most part it was all ground support on the east.

@diggler1833 i really hate to hear that. Even tho I am not in the country I cannot fathom loosing a farm animal. I could never be a farmer. I just remember how hard it was to put down our GSD on the Mrs.’s birthday.

It is somewhat more common than people think, but you can run cattle and be a fan of animals at the same time. Every loss effects more than the ranch bank account.

I only run 90 production cows, but it allows me to know the unique personality traits of all of them. They are all 'bag broke' (will come to feed by just calling them). They aren't pets, but I do interact with them daily.

When I first got to my Uncles farm I was about 8. We were moving the cows and I asked him what one's name was. He said she didn't have a name, so I asked if I could name her. He said sure just don't get to close because soon Canada Packers would be coming.

The most dangerous animal in the world is a pet bull. You never know when you day will come. Especially in breeding season.
