The push-pull Double-Lightning Dou-38A gave birth to the Dou-38B pusher and the Dou-38C tractor. None was built alas.

Where did the Lightning come from?
In fact, the first ones were made by Mother Nature 38 million years ago. Scientists called these molecules Lightolecula but this name is "modern", dated 1938.

Thanks!

And for the next ones, I would like to thank ericr's great topic http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=4100.0 that inspired me very much...
