Excuse me for leaving out a letter & using a "z" instead of an "s" while typing this in between 0300-0400 this morning & our you always nasty little nit picker?
What the 'ell has a 747 have to do w/ a Condor being the main Airliner of the '30s for Lufthansa transporting passengers to their destinations?

The 747 has very much to do with the subject. When you mention an airliner, everyone thinks of modern day, the majority of Lufthansa's fleet intended for long-haul to carry maximum passengers is the B-747. Their currently buying the A-380, yet there are only about 3 airports that can currently support the HUGE aircraft.

So, next time please describe why your mentioning the airliner, first thoughts will always be modern day!:aok

In the context of AH, set in the 1940's, my last thought was 747. I certainly did not think modern day - it makes no sense in AH. I thought the 747 reference was really weird.

My belief exactly, he interprited it that way because he wished to.
We were discussing the "Condor", which just happened to have been the Primary Airliner during the '30s for Lufthanza before it had been Press Ganged into service as Long Range Bombing Missions of Convoys by the Luftwaffa.
