Von Clausewitz was right, to an extent. I would also argue that "Warfare is economics, carried on by other means."
When you get down to it, whether religion or political philosophy is used to justify it, it's really all about the Benjamins.
In his book, "On War", Clausewitz stated that wars are fought for either economic or political reasons, Possibly a combitation of these reasons.
BTW, you can put religion under political!
The Boeing XF8B was an attempt to give the United States Navy a long range carrier borne fighter. At the time of her development she was the largest and heaviest single seat, single engine fighter.
Boeing called the XF8B-1 optimistically, the “five-in-one fighter” (fighter, interceptor, dive bomber, torpedo bomber, or level bomber). It was powered by a single 3,000 hp (2,200 kW) Pratt & Whitney XR-4360-10 four-row 28-cylinderradial engine, driving two three-bladed contra-rotating propellers. It would be the largest single-seat piston fighter to fly in the U.S. to date. She was to be armed with 6 0.50 in (12.7 mm) or 6 × 20 mm wing mounted cannons
Despite its formidable capabilities, the XF8B-1 was fated to never enter series production.
Looks like a posed picture, so nothing accidental about it. What SMG is that?

Here's a little quiz: can anyone see what's missing? Start at about 3:00 and take a close look at the guys in the vehicles.

They aren't unarmed...
I can see K98s, StG44s, pistols, G43s, etc... They're not flashing them about though.
Klink, i believe

Ok, trivia question.
How does a pilot earn the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. with only 9 air to air victories? (And yes, he really, really earned it the hard way, not through politics, but by a staggering level of skill).
Almost no steel helmets but absolutely NO Swastikas anywhere.

Wasn't he a Stuka pilot?
