Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *F-4, World* Not bad for a jet designed in the 1950s. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Though the F-4 was eventually replaced by more capable F-15s and F-16s, both frames drew on lessons learned from the F-4s service history. The F-4 Phantom was a beast of a jet. Despite early losses in Vietnam, the Phantom set sixteen world records and is still in service nearly sixty years after its first flight. *Beast* In an interview with an aviation website, Col. (Ret.) Charles B. DeBellvue, a former F-4 pilot, reminisced about his days flying the F-4 Phantom. “The F-4 was...

Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 10 hours ago

France's Insane Looking Cruiser-Submarine Met a Mysterious End
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *French Navy, * World War I and the inter-war period was an era of great innovation. Here's how France tried to invent a new kind of vessel (but it went very wrong). *Here's What You Need to Remember:* After the war, a French report attributed the Surcouf’s loss to friendly fire, though this has not been independently confirmed. One book written on the subject hypothesized that the Surcouf was hit by American bombers that didn’t recognize that large hull, mistaking the submarine for a Japanese or German Sub. After the end of hostilities during World War One, the vi...
