The short time controls in fast chess reduce the amount of time available to consider each move, and may result in a frantic game, especially as time runs out. Thanks.

A note to Reid Mueller of Fairfax, VA

I have some information on Paxutent. As I understand it the Arados were pushed in the bay after evaluation and were visible at high tide. You would have to contact the US Navy I believe on their current disposition.

Just a note,
I am friends with Raymond T. Conlin. 89. A P-51 pilot with the 357th.
He was credited with a ground kill of an AR 234 in 1944. It was one of the first sightings of the aircraft. Just after striking it with some 80 AP rounds, he high tailed it out of the AO with a couple of 88s trying to knock him out of the sky.
Len Krenzler from Actionart is doing a rendition on the event, to be released sometime in the future.

Anyone have any information on the Arado 234 plane(s) that went to Patuxent(sp?) MD for analysis. I heard diffirent stories one had them going to Aberdeen MD the other to PAX. I heard that they bulldozed them after they were done evaluating them. Anyone care to comment. In another post on the site they said one was observable at low tide at PAX. Can the person who made the post elaborate and possibly provide more details. I doubt there is much left after 60 years in salt water.

Lt David Fox is my uncle, as is Edward Fox who corrected the name of the pilot credited with first shooting down an Arado 234 in Febrauary 1945.

For further information, please see this following article in the Memphis Commercial Appeal: http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/germantown/article/0,1426,MCA_1936_5556476,00.html

I hope this helps to clarify some of the details contained on your web page.

Sincerely,
Timothy Fox

Sorry, his name was actually David Fox, not Dennis as I stated in my earlier post.

I agree with Mr. Fox (any relation to Dennis Fox?): the first one shot down was indeed by Dennis Fox near Segelsdorf in Feb. '45. Mr. Fox is a former Memphian who now lives in Nashville. A recent local newspaper article indicated that he had seen pictures of the plane he shot down but never had seen it in real life after it was shipped back to the States. Does anybody know the whereabouts of that particular plane? The article indicated that he would like to see it. I would love to be able to provide some direction to this unsung hero. Feel free to email me (trichmond3256@bellsouth.net)
