I thought this was quite an interesting thread...until the internet search engines overruled human intelligence.

Like I've said before, what if internet search engines leads to more human intelligence.  What is the difference in looking something up via a search engine or looking it up in a book?  Yes looking it up in a book takes a little longer and makes you work a little harder to get the info, but the end result is the same.  It has truly helped me to learn about some people that I may have never known anything about.  The guys like Cthulhu, 1Boner, Oldsport, and others do know quite a bit about these people and I applaud them for starting this and teaching some of us youngsters about history and people that we were definitely not taught in school or anywhere else.

Correctamundo!

Lydia Vladimirovna Litvyak , "The White Lily of Stalingrad"

1 of only 2 female fighter aces of WW2.

Supposedly took 8 109s to take her down.

She died at 21 years old.

I love the "supposedly" part.  Got her HSU in 1990 (A guy named Dzugashvili refused to give her one earlier).  There is some debate about whether or not she actually "earned" a HSU, but perception is reality.

Yeah, she'd doubtless be a front runner for Babe of the Soviet Union.  :aok

Possible answer to a previous query.   :D

You know, I think I recognize that mole on his chin.  :aok   He's doing Juliet's balcony scene in an effort to raise troop morale. (and get his bellybutton kicked) :D

While I continue to ransack my memorabilia to find a real, or ...ahem... at least a more convincing photo,  :D  personally autographed, of the late Mr. Robards in his Cracker Jacks, I thought this unique personage might tide us over.

Okay Gian, have at it and tell us who,   :aok
