Blogger’s Note: Aussie guts on show once again. An incredible display of what we call in England of “grace under pressure”. Of course, the same

China: List Unveiled of WWII US Anti-Japanese Aviator Casualties! (4.9.2024)
Margaret Kincannon, the daughter of a Flying Tigers veteran, believes that the example of cooperation with the Flying Tigers can be used today, “because if they could do it at that time with the differences in culture and language, then we can do it now.”
The Nanjing Anti-Japanese Aviation Martyrs Memorial Hall is China’s first international anti-Japanese aviation martyrs memorial hall. Its collection contains rich historical materials about the air forces of China, the Soviet Union, the United States and other countries that were jointly fighting against the Japanese invaders in China during the Second World War. The names of nearly 4,300 Chinese and foreign anti-Japanese aviation martyrs are engraved on the monument in the memorial hall.
USSR: Viktor Talalikhin Rammed Nazi German Aircraft! (7.8.2024)
Viktor Talalikhin was buried in Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery with full military honours. His name was forever listed among personnel of the 1st squadron of a fighter aircraft regiment with whom he served near Moscow. Streets in multiple Russian cities, including Moscow, Volgograd, Borisoglebsk, Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod, as well as the Podolsk Central Park, are named in his honour.
During intense fighting in the summer of 1941, Talalikhin’s selfless feat inspired millions. Soviet pilots rammed enemy aircraft on over 600 occasions during the war.
Shogun: Exposing & Resisting Disney-fication! (7.3.2024)
On the other hand, if US-born (Asian) actors – pretending to be a) Japanese and b) medieval – presses your buttons then this show is definitely for you. An extra treat is in store if you like random White (European) people pretending to be a) English, and b) Elizabethan. The fact Japan is currently (and deliberately) pumping nuclear waste into the South China Sea has much to do with the manner in which this mini-series has been received. This happens at a time when Japan continues to antagonise China by refusing to acknowledge internationally recognised boundaries – whilst not apologising for WWII atrocities! A positive US decreed media consensus has declared this piece of parody (and Eurocentric mimicry) to be universally a ‘great success’.
Croydon Aerodrome: The 1928 Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein! (20.4.2023)
His wife and his four employees all agreed that when returning from a visit to the toilet (situated at the rear of the aeroplane) during the flight – Alfred Loewenstein mistakenly opened the only door in the aeroplane – adjacent to the toilet – (whilst flying over the English Channel) – a misjudgement that caused him to fall 4000 feet to his death! The Pilot and Engineer were sat in the cockpit at the front the aeroplane and had no idea what was happening toward the back – certainly no alarm had gone off and there had been no sudden depressurisation of the interior! Incredibly, the British Pilot – Donald Drew – (once alerted to the situation) managed to immediately land the aeroplane on a nearby beach (under the direct control of the French military). After being released by the French military he then successfully navigated the aeroplane (and its occupants) to the airfield at Saint-Inglevert, Pas-de-Calais – also in France.
