Was there even a battleship at the same moment of time in the French, Polish and Finnish navies?   :confused:

i do these as a learning thing, to get the chance of those with more knowledge on the subject to educate the others who might not know much about the countries. like i personally dont know anything really about the french or polish airforce.

It is called research, do your own.

I guess you're talking about WWII...
France had the best of all of those things because it was a European power and not a tiny republic created in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War.

Although I guess you could say that Finland had some better pilots, and perhaps claimed more kills, since it was in the war longer.

yea, i could waiste 2-3 hrs out of a day looking up every link for each airforce, compare all there assets. pilots, kills,navy, planes etc.








or, i could just simply ask those who allready have what they know, and piece it together from there responces.

i'll take number 2  :rolleyes:

What side of the bed did you fall out of this morning?


Research is something I consider done after something comes to light that you want to know more about.  Is it really researching if you don't know what it is you're looking for?  How do you distinguish the relevant from the irrelevant and the potentially relevant?  I like these type of topics for this reason, it stirs the pot up and kicks some things up into the air that might appeal to individuals and they might take up further researching the topic that intrigues them.

This is hardly the place I would come to for history facts.  Nothing like the library for info.
