Who should be sent are the sisters from this little known elite female fighting arm of the Vatican called "The Sisters of Our Lady of Semper Fidelis!" Below are some training photos, smuggled out of Italy, of this ultra secret military force. When I wrote to the Vatican inquiring about the...

Hi Riddick, Welcome to KCA, What an exciting opportunity you have. I'm sure you'll be more than up to the challenge considering your back ground in farming and aviation.

A friend had given me a copy of "The Story of the War of 1898" by Peter Fenelon Collier that contains many color and black/white illustration plates. Unfortunately the copy I received has extensive damage and is in bad repair with many of the color illustrations missing. eBay has a few lis...
