Didn't Custer die from an arrow to the knee at Wounded Knee?

... Custer died at the battle of "Little Big Horn", where he and his 7.th US cavalry were defeated by the Lakota, Arapaho and Cheyenne Indians.
(and he deserved it!)

Sorry for being a smart-ass, couldnt resist when I read this.
The above mentioned "die ignorant" was not meant as a personal insult or so.

We know that the man had this great vision. We all idolized him and loved his ideas and believed they were near future developments. The road proved to be much longer and winding than anyone could foresee.

Which is good news if you are of the mindset that in life that it is the journey not the final destination that makes it all worthwhile.. If not of that mind set (read x-gen att span) than you may not be willing to sit still (read are we there yet) long enough to see it too it's end

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.

More that a great vision I would say great ambition.

A man with the former should realize that a big project needs great resources... infact we're still here after 6 years (IIRC SoW's development started in 2006) and he has thrown in the towel.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
