VERY much so, thanks for sharing it.
It has always intrigued me just how quick (the stuff of fiction
stories really if the proof was not there for us to see) technology
leapt in the 1930's. At the beginning of that decade the standard
aeroplane was still wood and fabric, by the early forties Germany
was "flying" intercontinental ballistic missiles........

Still doesn't help me find out why my Greyhound won't idle properly,
has the mechanics fooled too, perhaps I need a rocket scientist?
