    American experimental tank

    T34 Heavy Tank Developed in 1945 as a modernization of the T30 heavy tank. The vehicle was equipped with the 120 mm T53 gun and the new Continental AV-1790 engine.

    What's the situation of the Royal Navy if the WW2 broke out in 1944, not 1939?

    Ohama class original design

    The Ohama and her sister ship Okashi were laid down as target ships, successors to the Hakachi. Ohama was completed as an escort vessel, and Ohashi collided with Yamashio Maru and sunk before completion, but would have been given the same treatment. I can't find any illustrations of their...

    Does anyone have a copy of "Wireless for the Warrior" by Meulstee?

    I'm putting together an article on the Wireless Set No. 10, which deserves to be MUCH better known - it was the first TDM and PCM comms system in the world.

    Jean Bart aircraft carrier conversion

    I've read in a few places that there were a couple of proposals (one from the US and another by the French after the war's end) to turn the unfinished French battleship Jean Bart into an aircraft carrier (which were obviously refused). Tzoli seems to have made a mockup of how it might've looked...
