(vii) On 6th August 1945 American Bomber B52 dropped bomb at 11:02

The B-52, developed from captured German data on swept-wing aerodynamics,
wasn't even a concept in 1945. The bomber that Colonel Tibbets named
after his mother was a B-29.

Anyway, WTF is this doing in this newsgroup, on August _second_?
