Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

USS Attu lost a total of 26 aircraft in this storm from either being washed overboard, deliberately jettisoned to improve ship’s stability, jettisoned later because of excessive damage, or extensively damaged but retained for parts (salvaged).
