oh dear.

That is certainly... ominously euphemistic.

Do we know how the southern flanking force fared?

I am reminded of this: https://archiveofourown.org/works/832883 (the other stories in the series are also quite readable).

Was the foam issue in some way new for Columbia? Or had it basically been a possible issue for all the shuttle launches before then? In which case the easiest POD for Columbia surviving that mission is "the foam fell off slightly differently" (as it had for the previous 100-ish missions), and...

Well, at least that is going to help keep the TTL conspiracy theorists occupied (for a bit, anyway).

This is in no possible way an ominous point to end the chapter.

Is there a missing end to the sentence in the above footnote? (Post 63) Good stuff. I enjoyed your previous Venetian effort as well: didn't realise there was a new version until I saw it in the Turtledoves. I enjoy the economics and social changes, and how most of them seem to be coming about...

Is this (naval night flying operations) something even the French fleet had trained for at this time? I had the impression it wasn't a skill set much practiced (or even considered) by most nations until WW2.

I know my maths isn't always very good, but doesn't that add up to 110%?

Speaking of oil, how is Iraq doing? Was there the 1941 coup? I guess there hasn't been any driver for the UK to invade neutral Iran (and there presumably wont be unless the USSR does).

I could see football organisation after TTLs devolution going one of two ways: Either the surging separatist sentiment in each devolved region demanding its own league, or the FA totally ignoring the whole thing in a combination of bureaucratic inertia and "unionist" feeling. The spirit of this...

Hurrah! Go Alice. Though I also wouldnt agree with anything she seems to think is a good idea, your writing has made me sympathise, and indeed see her point of view, at least somewhat. Great stuff, keep it up.

So that seems more limited than OTL version? 3rd clause on self-determination is limited to those "forcibly deprived of [it]", 4th clause on trade does not mention equal access to trade, no 7th clause on freedom-of-the-seas and no 8th on general security and post war disarmament. I guess this...

Great stuff! Did the card suit symbols had some logic behind them? I felt a lack of any idea of who Tom King was, or what policies he stood for, other than invisible, which I suppose might have been the point? Hope you do choose to continue at some point.
