Your favorite WWII Aircraft

@RedOctober I was just ruffling your feathers with the VHS thing.

When I was I high school I had some friends and classmates that where into military history most of my class mates in English 4 where into the industrial trades so if you talked about engines and machinery you had their interest if you knew what you where talking about.The posh kids found my topic pretty drab I'm sure.

You might get a kick out of these, Mr Gearhead. At one point both the B-17 and B-29 were subjects of experiments with Allison engines.

XB-38



And XB-39

I know...


and I know exactly how that is. I'll get up to give a presentation on the products manufactured by Boeing and the class all slumps in their seats and they prepare for boredom...but I obviously didn't think it was boring if I did a presentation about it.

You have to find a way to engage your audience that is the trick to a presentation.

I know...i need to work on that better but my audience is 7 classmates and a teacher usually.

In a school with less than 200 kids, things can get predictable. People always predict that my presentations are about military stuff...and they are pretty good at predicting because I do those presentations whenever I get the chance...
