I was wondering...(always a bad sign)... The Defiant proved quite effective for a short time, until Luftwaffe crews quickly learned its limitations. How good a fighter might the Defiant have proved if it had been designed from the outset to have a more conventional armament arrangement rather...

The Kronshtadt class (Project 69) were a class of battlecruisers ordered for the Soviet Navy in the late 1930s. In the Soviet Union they were called "heavy cruisers" or thyazholyi kreyser. Two ships were started, but none were completed due to World War II. These ships had a complex and...

Hi ???

I stumbled across this history in English of Hanns Klemm, the man and his company, and thought others might be interested. It includes a number of prototypes and one-off designs as well as referencing some unbuilt designs that I have never heard of before. History of Klemm Leichtflugzeugbau...

I know of a number of WWI and 1920s designs for fighter flying boats--various Macchi and Caproni designs and the Supermarine Baby and related racers, for example. I also know of a number of post-WWII designs for jet flying boat fighters like the Saro and even the Convair Sea Dart. Does anyone...

Hi, http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread320129/pg1

This image of this ship was borrowed from a site dealing in 1/1250 ships. I am interested in a three view of this ship. It is no doubt some kind of Pocket or Panzer ship project. Perhaps by Zenker. Any help in obtaining a three view or direction to a book in English or German which elaborates...
