Quoted from greg Choco Bo Joe is a lunatic.  I mean the guy shoved a knife up a dude's ass!  You bring up very valid points with the fog and flying and all that jazz, but I think it adds to the whole craziness of Choco.

Even if he's a complete idiot he would never survive the flight. I'm sure you've flown in an airplane at some point and probably above some clouds. They look like a giant soft down blanket. Fog is just a cloud that's on the ground instead of up in the sky. Imagine you're flying and looking down at that fluffy blanket, then try to decide where you're going to land. Impossible!

Quoted from greg And I wanna try to defend myself as best I can with the Corsair.  Well, I guess this is more of a question I'm proposing to you.  Would it be believable if they altered it so it could carry the bomb?  Or would it be better if they constructed a plane that already had the bomb compartment?  Would that be more realistic do you think?  I looked into the plane and found that it was developed in the late 30's and first flown in 1940 as a prototype, so maybe the steelworkers stole the plans or something.

I will check with my in house expert and I'll get back with you on that. He'll be thrilled to be asked.

Quoted from greg I'll be looking forward to seeing some more of your work. I hope it's as provactive as "Be My Valentine"!

That one has been revised and will be posted again.
Provocative?...........Nah, it read like a bedtime story.

Greg,

Did a little checking for you regarding the aviation stuff on your story. It gets tricky, so I don’t know if you want to change things or just stick with what you have. This is what he told me.

All nukes back then were big, even “Little Boy”, but more importantly they were really heavy. Therefore you can not just hang one under a plane, since most of them don’t have any hard points. Possibly, you could use one of the Navy’s torpedo bombers. The only planes with bomb bays were bombers apparently and those could not be flown by one pilot, but needed a whole crew.

He had a suggestion that may not be as sexy as an airplane, but it would have been believable back then and that would be to use a blimp. They would not have aroused suspicion and they can carry heavy loads.

Any other questions, just ask.

Hi Pia Tomson,

Thanks for checking that out!  I guess it's back to the drawing boards unless I can figure out a way to get around the physics.  I like that idea though of a blimp.  It's not as sexy, true, but you may be on to something there.  Maybe associate the Nazi involvement with the bomb to the Hindenburg.  I don't know.  I think that was a zeppelin anyway.

Well, this gets the creative juices flowing!  Thank you again for taking the time
