Boeing to build new F-47 fighter jets WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced March 21 that Boeing will build the Air Force’s future fighter jet, which the Pentagon says will have stealth and penetration capabilities that far exceed those of its current fleet and is essential in a potential conflict with China. Known as Next Generation Air Dominance, or NGAD, the manned jet will serve as quarterback to a fleet of future drone aircraft designed to be able to penetrate the air defenses of China and any other potential foes. The initial contract to proceed with production on a version for the Air Force is worth an estimated $20 billion. The 47th president, who announced the award at the White House with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Air Force…

When Adolf Hitler and the “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” (NSDAP – Nazi Party) came to power in 1933, they had in large part captured their victory by using the brute force of the “Sturmabteilung” (SA – Hitler’s private army of brown-shirted revolutionaries, Party meeting guards and blatant street thugs). Later, Hitler was led to believe that the SA was conspiring to overthrow his new regime and replace him with their brown-shirt commander, Ernst Rohm. In response, Germany’s new Fuhrer orchestrated a vicious and swift attack that culminated in the murder of many top SA officials, including Rohm, along with other non-SA adversaries. This three-day-long purge in 1934 would come to be known as the “Night of the Long Knives”. The killings eliminated many of Hitler’s old enemies, and downgraded the Sturmabteilung…

Jumpy Jeep Q: Iowna1952WillysM38. I have always found your tech tips to be helpful in repairing it. The transfer case jumps out of gear in 4-wheel drive.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to write. The most probable causes of your jeep slipping out of front wheel drive could be a weak shifting fork lock spring, a badly worn front bearing, too much end play in the drive shaft, and/or a bent shift fork. The latter is often caused by trying to force the…

In early March of this year, Paris train service was halted into the City of Lights after an exploded bomb from the Second World War was found near Gare du Nord station, one of Europe’s largest and busiest train stations with more than 220 million people passing through it annually. All Eurostar international service to and from the station was halted, while about 200 people were evacuated from their homes nearby. The 500kg bomb was discovered by workers buried about two meters at a building site about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) north of the station. It was unclear when the bomb may have been dropped, but it was near the rail yards that had been regular targets for British and American bombers during the war before Paris was liberated in…

Lying in the southwest region of England is the county of Dorset. Covering an area of just over 1,000 square miles, Dorset is 20th in order of size out of the 48 counties which make up England. Bordered by Somerset to the north and Devon to the west, it has a wide and varied military history stretching back more than 2,000 years from the Romans, through the Middle Ages and both world wars. It has battlefields dating from the 17th century, castles, military museums and airfields from WWII. It is this rich history which makes Dorset the envy of larger counties which cannot match such a legacy. A few years ago the world-renowned Tank Museum at Bovington in Dorset compiled a list of some of the county’s historical sites called…
