Ok, thanks for the posts Essan and Nefermore.
You're welcome
The pre-1980s info is very convincing. Got anymore stuff like that? More pictures?
Escort fighters creating Contrails as they fly round a bomber formation
B17 Bomber stream
You can't stop and start a trail like that (ok, its done with diesel injection but it makes the point)
P51 Mustang Contrail
I'm sure theres many more
Quotes From WW2 Bomber Pilots on Persistent Contrails.
Jay,
Yes, we certainly did. Contrails were so thick that they became clouds. We often said that we created weather over Europe. They would persist for many hours, maybe days. We flew a different route coming back than going in partly to avoid the contrail clouds that we created. There are some pictures of contrails on my web site - none of these are shown to be very heavy but there were time when we were near the end of the bomber stream and the contrails were so dense that it was no dfferent than flying in clouds. A thousand or more
planes (4000 internal combustion engines) can make a lot of contrail at 25000 feet or more.
Hope this helps.
Willard Reese- 457th Bomb Group
My recollection is that the contrails persisted for some time. While I don't recall timing them, I would guess that they could be seen for fifteen minutes or more. At times, Germany appeared to be almost covered by contrails as far as you could see. Essentially creating a cloud layer which could possibly persist for hours I suppose. The bombers' in more or less straight lines, the fighters', usually above us, more random as they criss crossed or circled. A common sight was the escorts dropping their tanks and heading off after the bad guys.
The contrails also tended to create a cloud layer which restricted the visibility of the following aircraft. So, contrails represented a problem to us and were to be avoided if at all possible. The idea of poison clouds is obviously ludicrous to those who have regularly experienced them.

Questions to Neferomore:
Your explanation for the video posted at the beginning of this thread (as far as I can tell) is that it was a refueling operation.
How do you explain the 3 contrails?
It appears to me that the tanker was too far away from refueling the jets in the video in this thread. Was the tanker possibly out of range? And is it normal/possible for tankers to refuel 2 planes at once? Can you give us more info on that? Thanks.

So how do i explain away the planes i've seen, flying in parallel lines at the same time, like the video that was posted in this thread? Or the planes which take the same route for a week or so, coming back at intervals to spray, then rotating to a different route?
FROM 'CALIFORNIA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DRINKING WATER TEST RESULTS 1984 - 2006'
1) A review of all water tests in the State of California between 1984 and 2006 from results on this CD was conducted over a six-month period. Every water test result over -0- was analyzed and checked to find any unusual water contaminant data. The results of this search yielded some unusual statistics here in Mendocino and several other Northern California Counties.
2) It was discovered that Barium, Magnesium, Lead, Manganese, Aluminum, Iron, Sodium, and Specific Conductance (the ability of water to conduct a charge), were being found under unusual circumstances in our drinking water supplies. Unusual spikes were occurring in almost all drinking water sources in Mendocino County and in other counties throughout the State of California.
3) These specific spikes started in 1991, and have continued in certain specific years through 2006. The interesting part of these water spikes is that these contaminants almost always spike at the same time and in the same year. If, for example, Specific Conductance is high, then all or almost all the other test results are high at the same time.
4) Why do these contaminants only spike as a group and not, in the majority of cases, independently of one another? And why is every single public drinking water source showing some form of this spike pattern?
The California Air Resources Board Statewide Summary for Iron, Aluminum, Iron, Zinc, Manganese and Barium, also show positive air test results between 1989 and 2001. Our water test spikes appear to correlate strongly with California Air Quality test results. Why?
5) What impact do these spikes have on public health, the quality of our water, our air, soil and trees? What is the source of these pollutants? Industry, jet fuel emissions…what is happening in Mendocino County and in other counties throughout California? There are many questions and few answers. Why are the California Air Resources Control Board Air Testing Results correlating in some respects with our positive water test results?

The bombers are way slower than any commerically operated jet. The B-17 had a top speed around 220mph.
As far as I know at present there is only one military prop driven plane that can mach modern commerical jet speed and its the Russian TU-95 Bear Bomber, with a top speed of about 570mph

Also I am still awaiting replies on my previous question regarding cloud formation processes when con/chemtrails are formed. I find it funny that when in-depth questions are asked on this topic, they are not refuted but also not answered.

(I still haven't seen anyone explain why two planes at the same altitude can have one leave a contrail that disappears quickly, the other leaving trails that last hours).

something occured to me this morning concerning the explanation of the checkerboard effect chemtrails.
Ok, if was explaiumed that planes are waiting to land or whatever and creating contrails which moves along due to wind... BUT there is a hole in that theroy i think:
1) What if there is no wind?

2) Whenever i see (what i think are) chemtrails, the planes are normally (bout 80 per cent of the time) at a fairly high alttitude - high enough that you can just make the plane out with the naked eye, but this is not the case when an about-to-land plane is circling, they are lower and i NEVER see these planes leaving contrails.
