The A-10 and the Avenger Gatling gun

I thought I'd put this here as a reminder of what to click on as you might not notice it above. I suggest you read right through it and then you can come up with more informative topics that aren't someone else's work to help enhance the forum.
Note that the rules only allow up to six photo attachments per topic if you ever do find something.
Your goal in trying to assist people where possible is admirable in context. It appears that two hundred people have been helped in six years. Well done.

Sticky: Rules, Guidelines and Tips

General Savage, as "someone in authority" on this site, I must say that I too have no real idea of the point of most of your posts but I certainly worry when I see your words "I put the last line on my large informative post as bait to see who I could reel in." That's not why we're all here.

You say "I don't know why I go to the trouble ..." but what "trouble" do you actually go to that isn't for your own satisfaction? You'll see that lots of people on this forum do make a real effort to unearth information that others are asking about — they check research material, look up archive files and book references, scan documents and photos. Many of your posts simply seem to be saying "look at this thing that interests me" and really that kind of activity would fit better in a personal blog than on a forum.
