Here it is, the April Quiz!  This month, the quiz will be split into 3 sections, each containing 3 questions. The winner of each section will receive $20 Cash (U.S.), and the winner of the most sections will receive $20 Cash (there will be a tie-breaker question if needed). Also, there will be a 10th question that will be a bonus, also worth $20 Cash. That's $100 up for grabs for the April Quiz! I will post one section each Friday, with the bonus question following on the 4th Friday of the month (April 22).

This Quiz is about World War II:

4.  What was the fastest airplane to see active squadron service during WWII? (hint--this does not include experimental aircraft)

5.  Which member of the bombing raid on Japan of April 18, 1942, commanded SAC's first B-58 Wing after the war?

6.  What was the largest ship sunk during WWII? (hint--largest in terms of displacement)

That's the second section, good luck!

(I will not be on until Saturday or Sunday, so the first person with the correct answers in my e-mail gets the prize...if need be, I will e-mail you the ones you got wrong when I get back from New Orleans)

I didn't get an e-mail from you, Elan.  Where did you send it to?

Hmmmm, bloodandguts' e-mail went through fine to ghostsniper@battleteksquad.com.  Try resending it there first, and if that doesn't work just send me a pm on here.

Of course, my e-mail may just automatically be rejecting accounts from Austria (my wife is from Austria...lol).  Wink

Wee... I think I got it now.  Displacement figures were a bit sketchy, which is what messed me up at first.

Congratulations to bloodandguts on winning the second section of the April Quiz!

The correct answers are:

4. The Me-163 Komet, at 596 mph, was the fastest aircraft to see service during WWII.

5. Brig General Everett W. Holstrom commanded SAC's First Supersonic Bombardment Wing, a B-58 Hustler Wing.

6. The Japanese SuperCarrier Shinano, which after additional armor were added to it and the Yamato, still outweighed the Yamato by a good 200 tons.

Be on the lookout for Part III of the April Quiz coming next Friday![/size]

ah, that was close. I really thought the Yamato/Musashi were the biggest ships... at the wikipedia page of the Yamato they even give a higher displacement figure than for the Shinano

That threw me off originaly too, but also note that a) the Yamoto's is maxes, and b) its not the normal load, which is more like 68,000.
