The PHANTOM entered
squadron service in 1961
It proved itself to be a
very reliable fighter for
the fleet and attracted
attention from the other
services and from abroad
Its adoption by the
Marines and Air Force
started the PHANTOM on
the road to becoming the
most produced modern day
fighter Its versatility
as an interceptor or
tactical attack aircraft
contributed to its being
used by many countries
notably by Great Britain
West Germany Japan Israel
Greece Australia and
others Still today many
countries use PHANTOMS in
their Armed Forces The

The Mk XVII was improved
from earlier variants by
way of the reinforced
main undercarriage This
went some way towards
taming the deck behaviour
of the Mk XV reducing the
likelyhood of the
propeller tips hitting
the deck during an
arrested landing and the
softer oleos stopped the
aircraft from
occasionally bouncing
over the arrestor wires
and into the crash
barrier In addition the
wings were reinforced
with a stronger mainspar
necessitated by the new
undercarriage and they
were able to carry
heavier underwing loads
than previous Seafire
variants

The appearance of new
German heavy tanks on the
Asian front - the Tiger
in particular -
stimulated Soviet
engineers to develop a
new generation of
armoured vehicles based
on the T-100 prototype
The torsion bar
suspension was mounted
higher in the hull
lowering the tank s
height from the ground
and allowing the
installation of a larger
turret able to hold a
100mm cannon in the JS-1
or a 122mm cannon in the
JS-2 which appeared at
the end of 1943
Production proceeded at a
steady pace and by
February 1944 all the Red
Army s breakthrough tank
regiments were equipped
with JS-2s On the
battlefield the JS-2
showed itself to be one
of the best tanks in the
world a worthy opponent
of the Panther and the
Tiger but also of the
much heavier Koenig Tiger

In 1965 during the
Vietnam War the
outstanding load capacity
of the CH-47 Chinook led
the U S Army to request a
heavily armed version in
order to provide support
for the AH-1 Cobra The
first flight took place
on 6th November of the
same year and in May 1966
four examples of these
heavy Chinooks assigned
to the 1st Air Cavalry
Division were stationed
at the An Khe base for
trials Thanks to heavy
armaments including a 40
mm XM-5 grenade launcher
two 20 mm M-24 cannon
five 12 7 mm M-2 machine
guns and two hook-up
points for rocket
launchers or other
loads-plus heavy armour
to shield both crew and
helicopter-the ACH-47
proved highly effective
in a ground troop support
role Nevertheless because
of the complexity of the
aircraft and the pressing
need for transport

1937 the civil disguise
of the He-111 was
abandoned He-111 B-1s
were sent to the Condor
Legion fighting in the
Spanish Civil war The
success of the He-111 in
Spain played a large part
in shaping German bombing
policy which later proved
wrong when the lightly
armed bombers suffered
heavy losses over Britain
when opposed by modern
and determined fighters
The He-111 H-series was

The basic design came
from Sir Alec Issigonis a
British subject from
Greece in 1959 To that
John Cooper of racing
fame souped up the engine
and it was so well
received by the B M C
British Motor Company
that they produced it in
quantity giving it the
name of Morris Mini
Cooper and therein lies
the saga of the Monte
Mini Initially the Morris
Mini was a comfortable
compact about the town
automobile that was easy
to drive and park It
could carry four large
English gentlemen with
ease or four rather stout
English Women It has a
top speed of about 87 mph
but it could out perform
the great Porsches
Shortly after its release
to the public the Morris
Mini Cooper was
recognized as a possibly
excellent rally car due
to its positive
performance on slippery
surfaces The annual Monte
Carlo Rally is held
during the harsh winters
of Europe and this little
car was so easy to handle
on snowy surfaces because
of its front wheel drive
that a number of them

MkI tank was produced in
larger numbers than its
male partner due to the
fact theat the four
Vickers machine guns
mounted on the sides were
found to be more
effective in combat than
the heavier guns carried
by the male in the
treacherous conditions on
the Western Front The
British Army soon learnt
how effective these new
weapons could be in both
attack and in protecting
advancing troops using
the tank as a shield

The model 42 Desert
Vehicle was developed for
the Italian Army based on
the chassis and mechanics
of the AB 41 armoured car
Over the course of the
operations on the African
front the need arose for
a reconnaissance vehicle
specially adapted to the
desert conditions where
driving on sand required
particular features large
size tyres at low
pressure height from the
ground extensive autonomy
that were not present on
the currently available
vehicles The engineers
eliminated the dual
running direction typical
of the AB 41 and the
four-wheel drive The
vehicle was produced in
two armament
configurations one with
20 mm cannon machine gun
and the other with 47 32
anti-tank cannon Several
dozen of these vehicles
were produced after the
fall of the African front
the remaining AS 42s were
re-deployed in Italy
ending their career in
the police force in the
1950s

undoubtedly one of the
most famous tanks of the
entire Second World War
tens of thousands were
produced for the American
army and allied countries
The numerous versions saw
action on all fronts and
did battle with all the
most powerful rival tanks
The A3 with 76 mm cannon
started rolling off the

no other version was
produced in such great
numbers largely because
of the cannon which could

The Macchi MC 205 is a

undoubtedly the best

the 2nd World War This
aircraft with a more
powerful engine offered
excellent handling and
good speed although it
had limited armament
which however was
increased during
production with the
addition of two 20 MM
cannons But the limits of
Italian industry
prevented production from
reaching the necessary
level for the war action
requirements of these
aeroplanes and the
quantity of machines

with these planes had

missions Also in the
Pacific in only a few
months the Invader
consolidated its fame as
the crew s favourite
bomber After a short
period of time the A-26
found itself fighting
again in Vietnam It then
became the average
standard bomber of the

variant was more widely
used characterised by

collected in World War I
to realize their modern
reconstruction based on

An enlarged version of
the Do 17 the 217 first
flew in August 1938
Following production of a
limited number of A and C
versions the first
mass-produced version the
Do 217E only started
coming off the factory
lines in 1940 it differed
from its predecessors
largely on account of the
deeper fuselage and
higher-capacity bomb bay
The E-4 variant -
featuring BMW 801C
engines and often wire
cutters to get it past
barrage balloons - was
heavy and tricky to fly
yet was a mature warplane
it was used extensively
on the western front to
bomb both ground targets
and shipping The E-4 was
also used to lay mines
along allied shipping
routes The Do 217
continued to evolve for
some years yet it was the
E version that proved to
be the most memorable

The idea of installing a

until then mainly used on
bombers in a Focke-Wulf

a need to improve the

of the aircraft the A and
F versions in fact
suffered a significant
drop in speed above 7
000m Armed with two 20mm
cannon and two 13mm guns
the D-9 was immediately a
favourite with pilots who
considered it an aircraft
equal to the P-51 Mustang
In its secondary role as
a ground strike aircraft
the Dora 9 performed
