Good tires he mussed, but not great..........


At the time, most trucks were modified cars. Henry Ford realized he could profit from pickup trucks, so he took his Model T and lengthened the chassis, stiffened the suspension and changed the gear ratios. Intended for farmers, the Model TT could carry a one-ton payload and had a Ruckstell underdrive axle, which allowed the truck to haul loads over rough terrain and uphill. These features drew the attention of Allied forces during World War I, and 39,000 Ford Model TTs went to war, mostly as ambulances

I bet I could be Walter in my 911 if he was on the tractor in a heads up race! About the only way to beat him with a Porsche.

During World War II, fighter planes would come back from battle with bullet holes. The Allies initially sought to strengthen the most commonly damaged parts of the planes to increase combat survivability. A mathematician, Abraham Wald, pointed out that perhaps the reason certain areas of the planes weren’t covered in bullet holes was that planes that were shot in certain critical areas did not return. This insight led to the armor being re-enforced on the parts of returning planes where there were no bullet holes. This wisdom was also beneficially applied to the Skyraider during the Korean War. This shows that the reasons why we are missing certain data may be more meaningful than the available data, itself. In questions of aircraft design, don’t only listen to what the evidence says, listen also to what is not being said.
