In an attempt to achieve complete
political coordination with all facets of life, an entire Air Force base in
Texas had been converted to operate aircraft with only right wings! This was
done to apparently eliminate any dangerous left-wing tendancies that might
have cropped up in the future. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to only
lead to failures, with the planes not being able to hold a course and inevitably
spiral downwards. Turns out, you need both wings to maintain stability.
Pictures have been virtually
impossible to obtain, as the Daharta Air Base is massive and very inaccessable.
However, satellite imagery comes to the assistance! Here is the only image I've
been able to find of any of the planes.
Oddly, this had been attempted in
the past in the Soviet Union, where entire regiments were not allowed to march
with their right feet, right turns were made illegal, and tanks had the right
tracks removed. Had only somebody heeded the lessons of the past, much time and
effort could have been saved...deep in Daharta, Texas...
