Not just that far back, at least in these parts, wood heat was all a lot of people had until late 1950's/early 1960's. Wood heat was all my grandparents ever had, trees felled with an axe and cut into firewood with a two man crosssaw. Yes, it took a lot of wood but not really, as one or two large trees can yield many cords of firewood.

This is just too close to the truth of how our government works.

Thanks Dan, I got my history mixed up again!

Operation Vengeance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You may have been thinking of Doolittle's raid. The planes were B-25 twin engine medium bombers flown of the Hornet with Enterprise covering. The B-25's were modified.

Taking off a medium bomber from a carrier. CRAZY! There is film footage of the takeoffs and the first plane had the shortest "runway" and struggled into the air. Doolittle was piloting the first plane in the Follow Me tradition. Thankfully he did not fly into the ocean.

The planes had to launch early since they were spotted by a Japanese fishing boat which radioed their location. The mission was going to be a close one fuel wise as it was but the early launch caused most of the planes to run out of fuel and crash before they could get to their designated landing fields.

"30 seconds over Tokyo" was a book written by one of the pilots and made into a movie. In those days movies showed our service members as the heros there were and are. Not so much in the movies of today.

I agree - $215 might have worked.

Here is another link concerning the UN report screwup. It goes into some depth about the error and other problems in the paragraph that should have been caught by an editor. Another point made was that it was a 900+ page report.

Does this mean they will retract Kyoto and Copenhagen?
