French two prototypes buildt in 1919... is said to be one of the best looking aircraft of the WW1. The name " Sesquiplane" means 'one-and-a-half wings.'"
Its sleek smooth streamlined wooden monocoque shell of tulipwood, was produced by winding thin spiral strips around a mould in a series of...
I'm on the scrounge.
Does anyone have a copy , or just the key text, of specification R.2/33 that they would be willing to share? Failing that does anyone know whether the text of the specification has been included in any article or book, most likely one about the Sunderland.
Thanks

I was looking for the history of the anti-aircraft guns of the US Army since 1918 but then stumbled upon an AA gun that I never heard of before. A little effort to find some information was done, but it's surprisingly quite scarce.
4.7-inch Mobile Gun, M1920E
The gun was supposed to be the...

It is unclear if she was still in service post-World War II, but if she was still around in 1948 it is debatable whether or not she would have been technically entitled to the HMAFV (His Majesty's Air Force Vessel) prefix, given that she wasn't a powered vessel.

Hello and welcome,
This is no longer the hub for all things Kriegsmarine, but a section of what was once a much larger thread that has since been broken up into various pieces for sake of organization, I suppose.
This is now the primary section as far as I am concerned. Links will be included...
Does anyone know anything about the 1932 Springfield Aircraft Company's "Cicada" NR 13 205?
It has a radial engine, semi-elliptical shoulder-mounted wings, circular fuselage cross-section, fixed landing gear with spats and a spectacular paint job resembling an insect. The single, open cockpit is...
