Oh btw, your update gave me an idea about the solution of a problem I had in the AAO-verse.
Glad I could help. I thought you had ditched Chamberlain already?

Oh? I'm curious to know what kind of trouble Mr Low will help you solve, then.
Huge metal walking machines. All I'm saying.
Giant robotic cartoonists from outer space?
I like the insight you gave into Chamberlain's mind at the end- he is very sympathetic in his own way, even if it's all too easy to condemn him knowing what we do know. I hope this means that there'll be more Anglo-French cooperation in the future- the world certainly needs some sort of force capable of standing up to Germany.
Returning to your previous reference to Italy as a near-fascist state, how does that work when De Gasperi (a pretty ardent anti-fascist) is prime minister?
No, I'm not trying to keep you from updating o
Aeronautics engineers took between six and eight years to train, and would not reach peak competence and productivity before two or three more years after that. There were productivity gains to be made by automatizing the production process, naturally, but not everything could be left to machines, and more advanced machine-tools would require to train skilled operators anyway.
"Goddard said that even sooner the day would come when Man could use rockets to wage war across incredible distances. That someone in Europe would be able to bomb Russia or America without battleships, airships, or four-engine bombers. And he was right. Do you understand, Jean? Sooner or later America will be denied the protection of its two oceans, so every help we send your way today to fight your enemies will be something we'll sorely miss tomorrow to deter ours. I am sorry, Mr Minister. I won't allow my country to squander away its defense for old times' sake."
Hrmm. I wonder about the expansion in aircraft production in WW2 America, then.
Can he please die in a fire at some point in the future? The argument is bad and he should feel bad.
What's the definition of "mixed feelings"? French aviation and industrial development - good; stronger French ties with the US - good; the rise of Lindbergh and the America Firsters - so not good. Particularly with Prof Goddard's rockets to throw into the mix - has the US AI been experimenting with rocket tech?
