In defense of sticker shock
There are faster ways to start an online fight, but not many. Say “$10,000 DAC” and watch audio-forum commenters descend like pigeons on a dropped hot dog, flapping and furious. They’ll tell you the designers are crooks, the buyers are dupes, and anyone not DIY-ing with AliExpress kits is a poseur.

ENEMY PILOTS SPEAK Voices from the other side
All too often American students of air warfare forget that enemy aircraftwhether Messerschmitts or MiGs-were flown by human beings with the same motivations and traits as Allied airmen. More often than not, the only difference between friend and foe was the paint on the airplane and where they landed. Therefore, we've assembled a variety of accounts from WW II Axis fighter pilots, men who were more than simply targets.

IN HIS MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
The relationship between archaeology and espionage is close. During the twentieth century, for example, both Britain and the United States recruited archaeologists working in some of the world's most sensitive locales as spies. Beginning in 1911, T. E. Lawrence excavated the Hittite site of Carchemish on the Euphrates River, from where he could keep an eye on the Germans, who were constructing a railway supply line between Baghdad and Berlin.
