Yes it is.

She is most likely the best known race driver in the world, but gives so little back with the biggest cry baby attitude out there, and is not that good of a driver to boot. But I would tap it given the chance, twice if time persists.

There is a pretty big age gap on that failed marriage.

Had not seen the German pics, but all of those pictures from Pearl Harbor have been around for a long time.

OK, how about this for having huevos?

Quote:
Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ....At first V1's were shot down by gunfire.
With the high risk of being blown up, some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of damage to wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the airflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing, causing it to topple. Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded the pilot to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple.
The thought of doing this at 450mph, 4,000 feet above the ground, at night, and being blinded gives me the willies.

But but but, it said they were newly discovered pics in a chain e-mail, so it has to be true!
A little searching found this: http://www.veteransaidbenefit.org/historical_war_photos.htm

Those are great photos of WW2 but I can't believe they were unprocessed for 70 years. I have processed 30 and 40 year old film and it is usually a waste of time. It is just too fogged from gamma rays and heat after that long.
