Business<\/font> Lessons from the Legendary Fighter-Plane That Helped Win WWII!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/p>\n

An original Business<\/font> blog article by <\/font>Yonatan Maisel<\/font><\/a><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

WWII<\/a>: The Nazi invasion of Europe<\/a>. The British evacuation at Dunkirk<\/a>. The Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor<\/a>. Then "Operation Barbarossa<\/a>," the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Savage fighting. Cruelty on a global-scale.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

A world in turmoil!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hope of the free-world rested on the military and industrial might of the United States of America.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

And with the intervention of the United States, troops, tanks, artillery, warships, submarines and planes were unleashed against the Axis powers<\/a>.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

And as American power came to bear, her heavy bombers and those of the Allies, flew ever deeper into Germany on missions to pound their targets. The goal: Destroy the German war-machine and prepare the ground for a land invasion of Occupied Europe!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consolidated B-24 Liberator <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

But these bombers were decimated<\/em> by fast and agile German fighter planes. Unprotected, American bombers and their crews suffered unbearable losses.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Something was needed.<\/font> That something was a long-range, durable and deadly fighter plane with the range necessary to escort and protect the bombers deep into enemy airspace.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter the P-51 Mustang<\/a>!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

North American Aviation P-51 Mustang<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed and manufactured by North American Aviation<\/a>, the long-range P-51 provided hellish cover for American bombers. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Powerful, maneuverable and with intense firepower, they devastated German fighter planes which came up to challenge the heavy American bombers under their escort. The "D" version, equipped with a supercharged, British-manufactured Rolls-Royce Merlin<\/a> engine, and armed-to-the-teeth with six .50 caliber Browning machine-guns, truly was the king of the skies!  It was the P-51 which helped the Allies to achieve near complete air-superiority of the European skies.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The World of Business…<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

…is one fraught with many difficulties and challenges. The economy. Recession. Inflation. The abysmal and disheartening rate of business failure. And cut-throat competition for the next customer, client or project.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes in business<\/font>, flying solo can be a detriment. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the dog-eat-dog world of business, partnerships and alliances can help us to network and tackle challenges with "strength in numbers."<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are conferences, seminars, business lunches, forums, Chambers of Commerce and all sorts of places to meet. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

But business partnerships<\/font>, more and more can be formed and nurtured without ever leaving the home or office. Social Media<\/a> is a great place to start. Tools like Twitter<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> can make forming professional and business bonds<\/font> easy. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

They can result in cooperative and joint efforts and the sharing of ideas<\/font>. In these venues, tips and advice<\/font> are there for sharing. They are excellent forums for those two hallmarks of promotion: Marketing<\/font> and Advertising<\/font>. And people who can enhance and help to strengthen our businesses are just a mouse-click away! <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

If navigating the "skies" of business…<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is proving difficult by yourself…<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps what you need is…<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

A good wing-man!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
