Aeroplanes really are wonderful, are they not? I, personally, am fascinated by even the most unconventional of aircraft designs (which usually happen to be German, extraordinary innovators - the Germans!) The following is most certainly a revised list yet some planes that I'd highly recommend that you learn about:
Unconventional Aeroplanes[edit]
Other Intriguing Aircraft[edit]
- Arado 234
- Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde
- de Havilland Comet
- Fairey Gannet
- Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
- Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit
- Supermarine B.12/36
- Supermarine Spitfire
And not only aircraft are fantastic - the Sparviero-class patrol boat is wonderful! Love a good hydrofoil...

Tip Of The Day[edit]
Pic Of The Day[edit]
The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.
