I've posted this on another forum but it is better to post many forums to see if anybody know anything about this, I've got hold an extract from a naval forum about possible modernisation plans for the Kawachi class Battleship IJN Settsu which was stripped from her armament after the Washington...

The development of the Hs 293 is covered, too, in "Die Geschichte der Henschel-Flugzeugwerke AG 1933 - 45" by Horst Materna. A series of enlarged versions of the Hs 293A was the Hs 293C, for which different guiding systems were proposed. The C-4 was a pre-version of the later Hs 294 glide...

Here is the Antonov OKA-38. Not only was it an obvious copy of the German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, it was also Antonov's very first aircraft (until then he had only designed and built gliders and motor gliders). On top of its OKA- designation, it was also designated as the ShS, and was developed...

From "Der Flieger", August 1962, maybe interesting for one or two, as one-offs and projects are mentioned, too.

Alongside the training and cargo gliders already in service at the outbreak of World War II, an idea that received more attention with the U.S. Army Air Force was the assault glider. Major Lewin B. Barringer, a glider specialist, on the staff of AAF, presented blueprints for such a glider in the...

Hi friends! Recently I discover this jugoslavian aircraft of the 1940. From what I understand, it was a light bomber stopped at the prototype stage. Unfortunately I have found very few pictures and no drawings: does anyone know anything more and have a 3-view? Thanks in advance for your answers!

Dear forum members, does anyone have any decent fotos or drawings of the Rheinbote missile? It would be great if somebody of you could help me out. Thanks a lot! luedo34

Hi All, Tried the search function and didn't find anything, Likewise tried searches on the net, zilch.. nada... I am after a drawing of the gloster F9/37 with the peregrine engines fitted, anyone seen any, or know of a link ? cheers Jerry

Can I also ask for the Vultee XP-68,the improvement version of Vultee XP-54

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...
