This should be an easy one...not military related, but it is pretty close to home. There is a breed of dog, known in international circles as "The American Gentleman". What breed is this and what were its ancestors?

I had to cheat. As a kid I had one that was just a little different. It was called a " Screw Tail".
He was quite the goof ball.

We have one...a Boston Terrier. There has been one in our family for about 60 years or so. Wonderful little balls of energy with an appetite to match. Their ancestors are the English Bull and the English Terrier.

What was the largest plane to ever take off from an aircraft carrier.????
Maybe not the heaviest, but longest wing span.

New question!!

There was an American made auto named Nash.
Its ads featured what as the reason to buy one???

I'll hazard a guess on this one...Nash was unique in a couple of ways; besides it's ugly styling, they had reclining seats that would lay down flat, essentially turning into a double bed. This feature certainly had its advocates. Although most of the guys I knew back in the late 50's and early 60's wouldn't have anything except a Chevy or a Ford, seats from wrecked Nashes were known to be retrofitted to other automobiles...I never asked why.

I remember those seats in a Nash-Rambler station wagon. Great for camping trips. It was gone before I was a teen ager so never got to the lookout point with it. Probably just as well. :eek:

The C-130 Hercules holds the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. In October and November 1963, a USMC KC-130F (BuNo 149798), bailed to the US Naval Air Test Center, made 21 unarrested landings and take-offs on the USS Forrestal at a number of different weights.

I should know that one but the forgetter is working overtime. All I remember about them is that the starter button was under the gas pedal. Rather an odd setup but it worked.
