  • So how did the Americans transport their equipment from the U.S. to Britain if it's shown the dragons have essentially destroyed human civilization and rule the skies?
    • Van Zan says that they patched a C-5 Galaxy together and just managed to make it across the Atlantic.
      • Yup, that is specifically mentioned. And if a big plane like that was fixed up to be able to fly there isn't even much a dragon could do to it. At take-off speed, it would probably already be moving over 200mph and would be going more than twice as fast in flight. I doubt the dragons would be able to fly fast enough to tangle with that plane once it was moving even if they could match its cruising height (which they wouldn't be able to do either).
        • So... how exactly could dragons have ruined the world in which they'd have to contend with fighter jets for aerial supremacy aagain?
    • Possibly a boat smeared in dead dragon bits? they do say dead dragon repels the living ones, as they were dragonslayers, it would make sense for them to know some way to avoid a unexpected attack.
