Sir JR2, You are incredible. You need to spend some time and write a book. A Biplane Called Destiny is wonderful. Funny to the bone, creative and an overall enjoyable read. I have no idea what line I would say I liked the most. There were so many.
"This is comrade Stalin�s very own custom made nite, nite blankie with its big red stars hand embroidered under water by gypsy slaves in Siberia. The blankie is one of several cherished items that have been rushed to him from his opulent apartments overlooking the Kremlin."
And this:
"The ranks of the attacking Russian horde are thinning. Every now and then a stray shell from the ground takes out a wing or holes a fuselage of one of the Red Air Force�s own planes. Down it tumbles in flames accompanied by tremendous huzzahs from the hopeful but painfully stigmatized anti-aircraft crews. These cries will immediately be followed by stifled groans of disgust when the error is eventually pointed out."
"Greater Siberian Political Reorientation and Patriotic Rejuvenation Facility"
And how about:
"He wishes he had more gas or at least another bottle of booze"
The story was in the best spirit of Old Dux's classic satire.
BRAVO!
SALUTE!
