I'm just speaking from memory here, but as I recall there was an air-to-air launch mount for the Stinger. A few early prototypes of the Apache were paired with it in an attempt to attach a larger number of air-to-air missiles to the AH-64 (not to mention Stingers are hella cheaper than Sidewinders.)
Unless of course that isn't common knowledge, in which case I just made the entire thing up.
Ah - but did you notice the timeframe? The sole CA-15 first flew in March 1946! In any matter all moot really as the armament in most data lists is 6x.50in Guns.
> > "Kangaroos with stinger missiles?" Hardly! To quote Wikipedia: "The FIM-92 Stinger is a personal portable infrared homing surface-to-air missile developed in the United States and entered into service in 1981."
How could you postulate arming a 1946 Australian-designed fighter aircraft, the CAC CA-15, (that never went into production) with a Surface-to-Air shoulder-fired Infantry weapon? ( ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAC_CA-15 ) Oh, and, "although the CA-15 bore a superficial resemblance to the North American Mustang (P-51), the CAC design was not based directly on the US aircraft and had quite different performance objectives and dimensions . . . The sole prototype did not fly until March 4, 1946.[1] The CA-15's overall performance was clearly superior to existing single-engine, propeller-driven fighters. It was also faster than most first generation jet fighters."
Now, if you really meant the Sidewinder Air-to-Air missle . . . .
Agree to a point.... The British quick and dirty flying machine the spit fire clearly inferior to the German planes...but easy quick and cheap to manufacture and they got the job done, good enough.
I have never read so many incorrect points in one sentence regarding RAF and Luftwaffe equipment. You may have been half correct if you had used the name Hurrican instead of "spit fire".
He didn't actually give the go-ahead to a serious Nazi Atom Bomb project. He hated Jews, and after having the rudiments of the operation of an Atom Bomb explained, responded by calling it: "Jewish science! Foolishness!"

In the ORIGINAL 'Superman the movie' (1978), Superman startles a thief climbing the exterior of a building using suction cups. The 'cat burgler' falls whereon Superman dives after him and positions himself in the thief's path. When the falling thief reaches his waiting arms, Superman matches the speed of the thief's descent so as to avoid any problem of whiplash.
That's the only safe way to catch a falling human being.

Just think: Hitchcock's 'The Birds' could have been a really scary movie, if he had used giant birds instead of normal-sized examples.

Just as likely as it colliding with the USS Eldridge briefly appearing at 35,000ft during its return to Philadelphia Naval Yard, 1943.
