Pallets in fields

[stuckmotor]

Okay this is a first... I am commenting on my own post. So... uh, I apologize for previous post as it pertains nothing to the scientific pursuit, in this case pallets, of this thread. I just couldn't let the airmail story go. Steve, please get us back on track.... and BTW, why I am asking an economist to help?

Dragoneggs,
Your post was fascinating. Now I'm about to do a search to see what the Boeing Model 40 looked like.

Dragoneggs,

In the 1970's I lived near an airport. One day a much larger than normal biplane flew over and landed. I went to look at it and walked all around. Later I found out it seemed to match a Boeing 40 or something substantially similar. Never have been sure.

Hey Bruce... nice find! I haven't seen those pics. Thank you. BUT you continue to derail the thread Although... the origin of the Model 40 and the pallet are suspiciously close timeline wise.

Biplanes and pallets have a similar "bi-plane" design.

I knew I was overlooking something here. I am still trying to 'grapple' with the concept.

The position of the pallets undoubtedly sends some kind of signal to the Red Baron.

Don't discount the airplane angle. Folding wing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia shows pictures of folding wing airplanes which would look a lot like the a frame pallet.

sorry I was only using my hypotrochoids and epitrochoids to try and explain:ashamed:

I'm thinking'...

OK, let me expound on my previous post. For those who don't live near a military base. Every Marine vehicle and I think Army has the "pallets in field" emblem on the vehicle. The pic is of a Humvee.

I think there is some government involvement here!
