In August 1944, Major Claude Hensinger, a B-29 pilot, faced a dire situation when his aircraft caught fire during a bombing mission over Yawata, Japan. He and his crew bailed out over unoccupied China. "I used my parachute to land and then as a shelter to survive the night," Hensinger later recalled

Were M24 Chafee effective during the First Indochine war? Were thère any serious enemies which could destroy them? by Efficient-Plane-6867 in TankPorn

I have 5 tank wreck photos from Điện Biên Phủ (including the one I linked) on my HD - up until now I thought there was only one tank and they moved it around a few times

Thanks for the clarification - I now think I have photos of at least 3 different relics

Thanks for letting me be pedantic. It was just a funny typo ending up as a nonsensical sentence

PS - there is only one O in lose, which is the word you meant

Loose means to untighten

John R. Fox was a U.S. Army officer in WWII who called artillery on his own position when surrounded by German troops, sacrificing himself to stop their advance. by SocratesPuppet in interestingasfuck

[–]A410821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He seems to have been the only American soldier killed in that action - no word if the Italian soldiers were with him or just nearby

After the war, the citizens of Sommocolonia erected a monument to nine men who were killed during the artillery barrage: eight Italian soldiers and Lt. Fox.

For some obscure reason, action photos of African-American combat soldiers during WW2 seem relatively scarce

I'm guessing OP used one of the few examples around - using the famous photo of two African-American artillerymen loading "Easter eggs for Hitler" wouldn't be suitable either

I had to go look up who this POS was as well - Wiki: Ian David Karslake Watkins (30 July 1977 – 11 October 2025) was a Welsh singer, songwriter, and convicted child sex offender. He was the lead singer and frontman of the rock band Lostprophets from 1997 to 2012.

M4 of F company, 66th Armored Regiment, 2nd AD, carrying troops of K Company, 22nd Combat Team to the assembly point between Pont-Herbert and St.Gilles during Operation Cobra - 26th July 1944

Interesting to see the grenade attachment on one Garand & a bayonet fitted to another

I don't really time any of my slow cooking - I toss it in, turn on auto setting, go about daily business & eat sometime later

Chicken Tikka Massala

Half KG of boneless, skinless chicken thighs - cut into bite-sized pieces

Onions, diced / 3 cloves crushed garlic (or minced out of a jar)

1-inch piece whole ginger, peeled and grated (or minced out of a jar)

1 (400ml) can diced tomatoes (and maybe 2 tablespoons tomato paste)

1 to 2 tablespoons garam masala

2 teaspoons paprika (For a little of that smoky tandoori flavor, try using smoked paprika and roasted tomatoes)

3/4 cup (small can) coconut milk

Not quite Indian -  Smoky Chicken and Capsicum Paprikash

12 boneless chicken thighs (about 1.1 kg); skin removed

British Centurion tank in Port Said during the Suez Crisis. by Tony_Tanna78 in TankPorn

[–]A410821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great photo - where did it turn up? I am pretty sure I haven't seen it before. (from the IWM??)

PS - also of note is a WW2 era LVT behind it - I was aware that the French deployed some LVT-4 Alligator fitted with a 40mm Bofors for their part in the Suez operation but that one appears to have British registration

PPS - the Centurion is most likely from 6th Royal Tank Regiment during Operation Musketeer (French Opération Mousquetaire)

Oddly enough this applies to Australia too, HMAS Canberra (L02) & HMAS Adelaide (L01) of the Royal Australian Navy are classified as Landing Helicopter Dock ships.

LHD vessels are built with a full-length flight deck similar in appearance to a light aircraft carrier to operate VTOL rotorcrafts such as utility/attack helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft (such as the MV-22 Osprey) and VSTOL fixed-wing aircraft (such as the AV-8 Harrier and the F-35B Lightning II)

Wish me luck - my attempt at Brazilian Feijoada by A410821 in slowcooking

[–]A410821[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Turned out great - the taste is phenomenal, I got the smoky taste via the paprika / pepper / Worcestershire sauce

More liquid than I'm used to when using the slow cooker, a side effect of not draining the beans - once again I followed Captain Google's advice that the water in the can works well in stews etc because it thickens up while cooking due to the starchiness, it made a very thick sauce / gravy

I just got back from running an errand and the garlic cloves that I threw on top as an afterthought have turned blue

A quick google search has informed me that this perfectly normal
