I have a particular interest in Japanese WWII aircraft.  The Arawasi blog is a great resourse for research and inspiration.  It can be found here.

Journalism fail

It seems that a professor of Journalism, transplanted from San Francisco to Iowa has written an article that seems to have offended the people who pay his salary.
