Kirk, methinks that thou art a closet Superman fan, for only the dedicated know that.

Here's your cookie. Well done.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

How many statues have been given the US by France? (CAREFUL: This is a trick question!)

SteveW1 · 09-09-2009, 04:58 AM

Me Thinks officially None, but the Statue of liberty was presented to the US by the French people in 1886 as a monument to celebrate the centenial of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.

As an Aussie i'm taking a stab in the dark here

Since we've only gotten one nibble ...

'NOTHER QUESTION:

Which Luftwaffe pilot has the record for number of Spitfires bagged? How many? If possible, pix, pls.

Jester107th · 09-25-2009, 03:46 PM

In air on on the ground? Both? And that must be some bag to fit the Sptfire in!

Edit: Was it Obst. Josef "Pips" Priller ? Second choice would be maybe Heinz Bär.

The Luftwaffe only counted AERIAL victories, not sitting ducks on the ground.

Yes, It was Pip Priller, but we're awaiting the count.

Meanwhile...

'NOTHER QUESTION:

Operation Mincemeat was a precursor to Operation Husky, but occurred nowhere near Operation Husky's planned objective.

What were BOTH operations all about?

Jester107th · 10-02-2009, 06:24 PM

101 victories. 68 of them were Spits.
