@jrradcliffe.bsky.social I think David Hamilton wasn't traded for Hunter Renfroe, he was traded for getting rid of Jackie Bradley Jr's contract. Renfroe was an unfortunate side effect like you get from prescription drugs.

ALT text fails to mention that when the crowd dispersed, they walked home faster than the tank.

I agree that there’s something there, it just seems sometimes from the book’s standpoint, Beaverbrook (et all) had more to do with direction of the war than the Germans did. I was hoping for more on the Canadian/Polish rift than what Fleet Street was up to.

I guess I was expecting something more akin to his "U-Boat Hunters" which tells a lot about the British-Canadian-American relations in command and how they were all right/wrong/arrogant.

Yeah, I eventually gave up on this one. I've enjoyed Milner's other work but this one seemed too focused on the media & perceptions rather than on actual relations between the allies for me.

Won't someone think of the "Ace" discourse? HOW WILL WE KNOW!?!?

I guess Brent Suter is an Ace now. I have no evidence to refute this.

USS MLM Enterprise

It also comes with Tennessee.

So you’re saying we should invest heavily in. 11-25.

The latest Claringbould/Ingman was great in it's lack of hot takes about the aircraft and just stated the record and the Lightning's score vs the IJN on the first strike of Bismark Sea was 3 to 3.

I LOVE those books.

I got that for Christmas and haven't gotten to it yet.

I think it was Gamble's Rabaul trilogy that first informed me that the legend of the P-38 didn't stand up to scrutiny, though the Letourneau's Operation KE also mentions they were awful against floatplanes like the FM1, IIRC.

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.

In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Lizza drops it as a cliffhanger in part 69.

Sounds great Justin, however I ain't made of money and I just now got the latest Claringbould/Ingman South Pacific book. Those ain't cheap (or available at the library) here.

Thanks Tariffs!

The Flatley bio talks a little about it from his training VF-10 aspect, but not a fleet wide doctrinal lens.

I'm really interested in Scratch One Flattop's after battle sections. One thing The First Team describes that I've I've always wanted more info about was Flatley and VF-2 survivors on the slow trip back to San Diego going, "Okay, how do we do THAT better?" As opposed to IJN's "More bushido!"

How about the reverse?

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

I hear Mountbatten did nothing wrong 'tho.

Dads is WAAAAY up there for me.

I found "Pendulum of War" by Niall Barr to be fairly enlightening if not comprehensive of the campaign as a whole. Any thoughts?

I'd steer clear of historical takes on accuracy of "The Wind Rises" on the Blueskeeters.

The Miyazaki people will come. And in force.

Don't worry, if they both make it, I'll be Chourio's human shield.

“Monty’s Functional Doctrine” covers the British move to Combat Command like formations well, but of course claims that it was a British innovation.
