Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"
The thread changed to Tankers and their equipment. Yet, after 1944 the addition of the "Ace" air fire power was the deciding factor in the whole "tanker" game.- SHOWSOMECLASS

Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"
This thread was about the movie and certainly it evolved. Why did this thread die? Question is: Will the actors carry the sense of the tankers sacrifice, day to day grind, and common emotion?- SHOWSOMECLASS

Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"
Later after the initial breakthrough of St. Lo., fighter-bombers held a field day. First they bombed crossroads. Then they knocked out bridges. They smacked Panzer tanks, left them burning. When tanks took off cross-country, planes swooped down on them like vultures. On July 29, pilots hung up...- SHOWSOMECLASS

American infantrymen on Nov. 18 found themselves pinned down by artillery fire a few miles southeast of Eschweiler. Thunderbolts strafed and bombed positions not more than 200 yards in front of the line. They were so close, the ground controller said he was able to describe the entire action in...- SHOWSOMECLASS

The armored divisions also relied heavily on air support to compensate for what they lacked in firepower and armor. The Jabo's website stated that pilots of the 9th tactical command (9 AAF) frequently rode on the ground as controllers/spotters in tank groups. From the field he would call in the...- SHOWSOMECLASS

My wife and I travel to Europe in Feb.-May. I have leather jackets of all kinds. They feel, look and smell great. Yet on another note are seriously heavy to carry if it is too warm. If it starts to rain you are carrying a very heavy expensive jacket while you and it are getting wet. Cliche, I...- SHOWSOMECLASS

Well said Indeed. I might add that The State Governor, Legislator, Mayor or local New's commentator , "if recognized" will always get and expect great service.
