  1. Kinda different opinion from a work associate of mine who said the guidance computers were one of the most unreliable, nightmare-to-calibrate-and-then-KEEP-calibrated, dangerous bleeding edge tech he's ever been asked to service, and then be expected to work miracles with anyway, cuz 'Generals' Credibility at Risk'. That alone made it a hideously expensive prestige toy for the USAF.

  2. 'Area Rule' in the design is hardly a 'design influence'. That's like calling 'landing gear' a design influence'.

  3. Thank goodness for Lord Hardthrasher and the books he cites and references in his utter rebuttal of this piece of clap-trap. Hope I can still block this channel from showing up on my recommended list, because it really is pathetic. It did NOT nearly win the war, and the RAF had a completely adequate response in the Meteor.
