Top Five fighters of WWII and why
Macerinus replied to Northern Neil's topic in Historia in Universum
Hmm... P51d yes, FW 190 maybe, P47 debateable, Vought Corsair debatable. Which other piston engined fighters outperformed the Supermarine Spitfire? It depends very much on the period in WWII. The Hawker Tempest MK.V outperformed the Spitfire MK.Xs and XIV's easely. The FW190-D9 was a magnificent fighter. The late war Soviets weren't bad either, like the Lavockin La- 5 and La-7 or the Yakovlev Yak-3 These are all late war developments, In the early war period, The Messerschmitt Bf-109 D and E series definetly ruled the skies. If the Dutch Fokker G.I and the French Dewoitine D.520 could have proven itself longer in combat they would certainly have been magnificent. And of course let we not forget the most brilliant of them all, in capable hands, the Mitsubishi A6M-2 and -3 Zeke, what is lacked in armour it made up in beauty and extreme manouverability I can't think of any American fighter that really did it -

Macerinus replied to Viggen's topic in Archaeological News: Rome
It doesn't look very drinkable Why on earth would one want to open it? -
Wow, that is amazing... ....would love to have something like that as a wallpaper on my computer

Why does everyone call them Nazi's and not just Germans?

Gallo Roman Museum wins European Museum of the Year Award
Macerinus replied to Viggen's topic in Vacatio
Although it is on the other side of Belgium it shouldn't be to difficult by train I think, or about 2 hours by car, though the motorways around Brussels can be tricky How can we set this up easily? Open a new thread and add a poll with some dates? Cheers, Macerinus Erwin -

This is a most interesting website. I've seen animations like this in the Roman museum in Xanten, which is worth a visit. Interesting to see how quick the Rhine changes it's route over the years Thanks for sharing
