The train ride from Taipei to Hualien (Karenko) is lovely, running along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. If you are short on time, take a one-day...
Yes. I still live in Hualien. Nice to meet you.
Greetings to Taipei from Hualien. Yes, I still live here. :cool: Re: Never Forgotten run by Michael Hurst. I am the one who found Karenko Camp for...
Yes. I gather that much now. You really found a "stumper" here. Congrats! Maybe a relative of the Swedish Stridsvagn 103 chassis?
I'm not getting any closer than a soviet A-20 chassis, and that's still not it! Argh...
I'm still not convinced that in-flight refueling shouldn't have been considered, even if only on a limited basis. I think there might have been...
@Biak - Nice list! Suggested additions/mods: 1) The B-26 Marauder was called "The Widowmaker" and "The Baltimore Whore"... I believe it was the...
Hmmm.... found something on it: "By 1934, Alan Cobham of Britain had established the firm Flight Refueling Limited (FRL) to develop the small but...
CAC - Thanks for thinking so hard; don't hurt your self! I have never heard of any attempts to develop in-flight refueling during WW2. I thought...
You guys are chocked full of good info! As an engineering type, I will have to agree with mcoffee that Hastings was an imbecile (ok, too harsh;...

TOS - I looked at that, too. But, the drive and idler "wheels" don't match the chassis design. The drive sprockets look to be more of Allied type...
Kid, you are onto the right things... However, I agree with gunbunny in that Shirer is... in a word... BORING! Though it's a classic and a must...
A BETTER PIC! THANKS! I'm digging around for adaptations of a Brit 17-pdr or US 90mm M3 to an Allied light tank hull in mid-war... but am coming...
Well... It's not a very large or clear photo, but I see now that it only has the outter road wheels. Hmmm....
It's an incompleted Pzkpfw V with a prosthetic extention used as a decoy?
I'll followsuit. WELCOME, dampking! Some specific items worth purchasing (at very reasonable cost for used ones) to initiate your...
@luketdrifter - I think you have it backwards... It seems that, due to economic concerns, they have cancelled Detroit! Not just the team, the...
I'm stumped. The closest I can come to it is a Soviet T-24. Those are a very unique set of road wheels and suspension on that thing. Is it a...
Oh my... Germany LOST??? Ach, du Scheiße! Why didn't anyone tell me?
