It's a picture of contrails, taken in WWII. The debunkers claim that because they have pictures showing that lots of contrails formed in the 1940's, chemtrails don't form today. Non sequitor, in my humble opinion.I like the picture because it reminds me of some of the spacecraft fighting scenes in "Star Wars."

So the time period that saw the nuclear bombing of Japan, was beyond the capabilities and moral implications of chemtrail actvity?

No, but I think they were probably taking the more direct approach, i.e., bombing people. (Spray planes could have been shot down more easily than bombers.) However, from what I've read of the fuel used in WWII aircraft, the exhaust they produced could have killed people, too.

Don't forget , too, that the bombers in WWII (and today) made every effort to remain UNDETECTED. It's a bad thing to be seen from the ground with billowing contrails behind you.....just aim for the tip of them! In reality, the Allies flew up at altitudes that caused contrail formation for two reasons: flying at higher altitudes burns a lot less gas, and flying higher can put yourself out of the reach of all but the most powerful anti-aircraft artillery. If WWII bombers carried anything other than gas, bombs, and bullets, then I'd be greatly surprised and curious to learn how the planes made it to and from England on a reduced fuel load, less bombs, and/or less bullets.

Thanks, Delphi. Actually being able to crawl around a B-17 at an air show once gave me a new appreciation for the pilots who flew them in WWII.....They are a LOT more cramped than I thought! I couldn't imagine anything else could possibly be stuffed inside of one. There's no room for anything!As far as the contrails relate to tactics....even today, pilots who fly aircraft that are at the "pointy end of the sword" (fighters and bombers) are keenly aware of when they are "marking" or creating contrails. On a non-tactical cross-country flight or when flying some distance from a known threat, though, it's no big deal to be "conning." This in fact happened on a flight that I was on recently..... I actually thought of you on Saturday, when I was flying back to New Mexico from Florida. I was in a six-ship formation of F-16, and we flew right over NW Louisiana. We had to descend to hook up with a tanker for gas, but for almost the whole sortie we were at 39,000 feet and boy were we conning. I'm sure that it was impressive from the ground to see 6 aircraft line-abreast blazing a trail across the U.S.! Anyway, we hooked up with the tanker at 22,000 feet, and we did it right over Louisiana. So, we weren't marking overhead when we flew by. I was thinking of ya anyway. Mav
