    At first, I thought I was looking some form of really agressive traffic control. If Hugo Gernsback backs it, you know it's on the way.

    Or as we now call it Helicops. As with much thinking at the time the hardware wasn't up to the concept. Our local (South Wales) unit even tweets it's call-outs, very nice to know what's happening when it passes by.

    They could have just employed a two-seater biplane to strafe gangsters, the rear gunner also engaging in some action. Simple and completely feasible for the time.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
