Initially, the USAAC expressed no interest, but during subsequent discussions with McDonnell some revisions were made and on May 5, 1941 a formal proposal was submitted to the Army. The project was given the company designation of Model S-23-A and called for a single-seat long-range fighter with a pressurized cabin. An unusually heavy armament of six 0.50-inch machine guns and four 20-mm cannon was proposed.

See:

McDonnell XP-67

Too bad it went through such "hell" getting proper engines and such.

Yer next I guess!

Good one C

Try this on for size....

Tojo, convicted war criminal who attempted suicide with a pistol, failed in the attempt, was saved by US blood transfusion, stood trial, and took the step through the trap door after the Far East Tokyo War Crimes Trial.

Hideki Tojo is correct. I can't compete!

Hideki Tojo , 1884-1948, Japanese general and statesman. He became prime minister after he forced Konoye's resignation in Oct., 1941. His accession marked the final triumph of the military faction which advocated war with the United States and Great Britain. As the most powerful leader in the government during World War II, he approved the attack on Pearl Harbor and pushed the Japanese offensive in China, SE Asia, and the Pacific. His military coordination with Nazi Germany was weakened by mutual mistrust and divergent Russian policies. At home, the Japanese government asserted totalitarian control. Tojo resigned in July, 1944, after the loss of Saipan in the Marianas. In Apr., 1945, he recommended that the war be fought to a finish. He attempted suicide in Sept., 1945, but he was arrested by the Allies as a war criminal, tried, convicted, and executed.

I follow your lead..

That one was pretty obscure, so I'll post the answer and pass my turn on.

It is a Soviet GAZ-67B, an in house produced 4x4, 4-seater, from 1943.

Molotov is signing

jemimas_special2 · #58 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 12:38 AM

Atta boy Jon!

Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov signs the Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Pact while German Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop and Soviet leader Stalin look on under a portrait of Lenin, August 23, 1939. News of the Pact stunned the world and paved the way for the beginning of World War Two with Hitler assured the Germans would not have to fight a war on two fronts.

Your up Shooter Mcgavin

Haha, ok here is one....identify the type of tank (duh!) and the location. I found this today and it was just too awesome not to post it up!

Hint: it is easier than you think!

jemimas_special2 · #60 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 12:47 AM

Alright Jon, I must warn you.... I am not very good at this. I wanna say a Soviet T-34.... and no clue on the location. Some tasty hints would be much eaten on

JagdtigerI · #61 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 12:58 AM

Hint: German tank

...if your still hungry your certainly entitled for seconds

jemimas_special2 · #62 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:03 AM

Panzer V "Panther"?

JagdtigerI · #63 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:03 AM

Correct! Again, the location is easier to find than you think!

jemimas_special2 · #64 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:08 AM

Germany?

JagdtigerI · #65 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:09 AM

Hint: use Google as your search engine

jemimas_special2 · #66 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:17 AM

GOOOOOOgle is my friend....most times anyway. I've been cruising the google superhighway, and can't find that pic or a lead! It's easier than I think huh?? how about some more mashed potatoes

JagdtigerI · #67 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:17 AM

Consider the 'status' of the tank

is it active, sidelined........destroyed (hint hint)

jemimas_special2 · #68 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:35 AM

Normandy??

JagdtigerI · #69 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:38 AM

Correct! I thought it was easier than it looked because given a random destroyed Panther tank it would be near to impossible to determine where it was. But, if you searched "destroyed panther tank" on google images, it is on the first page.

But anyway, good job, your go!

Indeed, not a pretty sight, the Malmedy massacre

jemimas_special2 · #72 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:48 AM

Wow!,,,, Obi Wan Kanobi.... I am but your humble apprentice

Haha good one Jon. Geez

The bodies of 81 American soldiers from Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, killed by Waffen SS troops, Dec. 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge near the Belgian town of Malmedy

Your go again... lets see, this time it should only take me two or three times.... hopefully

JagdtigerI · #73 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:55 AM

Hey, I'm just on a lucky streak, you'll see

Here is one of my fav pics from the war

jemimas_special2 · #74 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 01:57 AM

Defence of Stalingrad!

In the summer of 1942 German General Paulus advanced toward Stalingrad with 250,000 men, 500 tanks, 7,000 guns and mortars, and 25,000 horses.
Progress was slow because fuel was rationed and Army Group A were given priority.
At the end of July 1942, a lack of fuel brought Paulus to a halt at Kalach. It was not until 7th August that he had received the supplies needed to continue with his advance.
Over the next few weeks his troops killed or captured 50,000 Soviet troops but on 18th August, Paulus, now only thirty-five miles from Stalingrad, ran out of fuel again.

I must agree.... We had a thread a while back pertaining to pics that capture the war.... this is definitely one of them. Good one

JagdtigerI · #75 (**permalink**) August 11th, 2009, 02:01 AM

There you go Mark....you don't need two or three tries!

Haha, your go!
