>>Daladier landing at dusk in le Bourget<< Thanks for that reference. I had not realized that the French signed the Munich Agreement, as well as Chamberlain, Hitler, Mussolini, nor that he was acclaimed by France for doing so. Daladier: "The idiots! If only they knew what they were cheering." Quite so. One of these days I will have to bone up on the history of the Vichy government. Suggestions for good books welcomed.

1/ The French air carrier is too wide for the Suez canal, you don't want it clogged, do you? Are you sure about that Epstein?? The Charles De Gaulle's beam is about 192ft, and the stated maximum for the canal is 245ft: members.aol.com Beam: Current maximum permissible beam 245 ft. Ships with beam over 245 ft may be allowed to transit the Canal under special request. If beam over 210ft the beam wind should not exceed 10 knots. intership-egypt.com Hawk
