Very interesting and while this era is "so fresh" in many peoples minds it also seems a million years ago.

When you read some of the history it's really odd to hear of some of the countries still trying to fight a horse back war as would have been seen in the napoleonic wars.

It's sad to think that it takes a war to see many deveolpements in technology not just in terms of killing the other side but such things as developments in aerospace, plastic surgery, antibiotics - the list is endless and I am sure the blog Jase will be running will educate use all not just in the destruction of war but some of the positive things http come out of a fight for survival.

Thanks for sharing.

King regards

Tony.

Happy Modelling
