You know you're a sad World War II buff when...

...you're watching Atonement, it's 1935 and the character played by James McAvoy watches a four engine monoplane British strategic bomber fly overhead, and you think "ooh, no such aircraft flew until at least 1939!"

...and you know you are a conspiracy theorist when you read that and think 'heh - that's what they want you to think...

Actually we had at least one design of four engined strategic bomber in WW I.

You should know better than to make such claims.

I shall amend the post to include the word 'monoplane'.

Would you like me to include 'propellor-' as well, in case anyone wonders if it was a Vickers Valiant falling through a time warp? :-P

:-) You're just cross because you're crap at being pedantic.

The Valiant would be after 1939 though.
