  5.  @Nila9579  it always amazes me the interest in these things? They're really more of a novelty item. Yet ,we keep getting this request year after year.

  7.  @Tomyironmane  there are a lot of reasons, but basically a left-handed aircraft approach was the norm. Thus the placement of the bridge Island.

  9.  @johnshepherd8687  if you want to use that standard? World War II is an extension of the Spanish Civil War.

  12.  @johnshepherd8687  that's a strange distinction you're making. You originally wanted to make this about a start point of World War II? Yet, the Spanish Civil War has more potential than does China.

  15.  @spartan5157  as far as a war prize? Kind of a service headache. The Royal Navy wound up supplying most carriers.... remember most of the world had to spend the next twenty years rebuilding from the war. Nations like the Netherlands and Canada or Australia really did not have the funds or manpower to maintain a carrier Force. Over the years they got out of the business. Plus Nations like France lost their overseas territories in Africa and Asia. Thus Less need for them.
