I am not sure whether to think Kuruharan (did I spell the name right?) is an extremely funny madman, or a genius.

I am going to bring this thread back to the idea of an Air Force if no one has any objection...

The wraiths had those flying monster things (the name of that species I never found) that could be killed. But if they were the most powerful of Sauron's servants and Sauron wanted to increase his own power, why didn't he just give the Nazgul the gift of flight? They weren't alive (not dead either, but that's another story) and therefore did not have the weight of living bone and flesh--so why didn't they fly? Legolas would not have been able to down those with an arrow had they been flying around overhead. And it probably would have been a lot more frightening to see a bunch of Nazgul flying than a bunch of Nazgul on their flying monsters.
