The official AHF Inter-War quiz thread

A hint:

The sabotage I mentioned meant detonating explosives on a railway line.

Think it must be the so called Kwantung incident?

Esa K

(PS. The mentioned comic book should be Hergés Blue Lotus DS.)

[Tapani K.]

Well, the incident is named, AFAIK, either Manchuria Incident or Mukden Incident. But since it involved the Kwantung Army, I say our answer is correct; especially as you knew the comic book in question

Congratulations and please take over.

Tapani K.

[Esa K]

Thanks Tapani

...guess you too are a great fan of Hergé.

(...and, of course you are correct, its called the Manchuria or Mukden incident, just mixed it up the name with the name of the army involved.... )

New Q:

3/1 1921 - 2/7 1937. What is this time frame about...?

regards

Esa K

[Aufklarung]

Please confirm if that is day/month/year or month/day/year?

A

[Esa K]

It´s day/month/year

[Tapani K.]

Esa, are you referring to Amelia Earhart's flying career? From her first flying lesson to her disappearance.

regards,
Tapani K.

[Esa K]

That was fast, but what else to expect from what I have found here, a bunch of aviation enthusiasts.

Of course it is Amelia E`s career as a pilot it´s about.

So, back, from Esa K to Tapani K.

Esa K

[Tapani K.]

Thank you, Esa.

Once more a "who is he" -question:

This military commander staged a coup d'état and four years after the event he was nominated officially the ruler of his country. He founded a dynasty but his son, who succeeded him, was the last ruler of his line.

Tapani K.

[Esa K]

Is he Zogu - Zog I of Albania...?

a guess with regards from

Esa K

[Tapani K.]

No, no. I asked a question about him not long ago; I wouldn't be devious enough to ask about him again

Tapani K.

Reza Kahn ?

Regards, Juha

[Tapani K.]

Yes, Reza Khan, later known as Reza Shah Pahlavi. I was kinda hoping that I would be able post a hint today, but no. The hint would have referred to Reza Khan having been a commander of Cossack Brigade (some sources say division). I thought this might have been a suitably confusing hint

Anyways, Juha, well done and please take over.

regards,
Tapani K.

[Juha Tompuri]

Thanks Tapani,

A lucky guess just on time, before your "helping" hint.
A new one, and as surprise to everyone: name the plane

Regards, Juha

[Juha Tompuri]

It's German design
