The projects drawn by Filippo Zappata, famous Italian designer known for the CANT Z 10XX and 5XX series, while working at Breda (circa 1942-1950) are one of the major problems of Italian aviation history. Breda archives were utterly destroyed when the aviation branch of the company went...

The Bristol 191 was intended as the Royal Navy ASW version of the Belvedere (Type-192) and was developed from the Type-173 with uprated engines and modified under carriage etc etc. According to 'Vanguard to Trident' (Eric J Grove) 68 had been ordered to fulfill half of the RN's ASW aircraft...

I've always been fascinated by the late WWII - very early Post WWII Attack a/c prototypes. While most seem to have fairly good info about, the Convair XA-41 being somewhat elusive, I can't find much of anything in print or online about the XBTC-2 (not the XBT2C, sort of a Helldiver II). Heck...

Messrs Buttler and Gibson have put out a blinder with Hypersonics and Missiles, and effectively completed the trilogy on the UK's teeth weapons in the air. Matched with Brown and Moore's Rebuilding the Royal Navy for sea stuff their works pretty much cover the UK waterfront. However, judging by...

These drawings can be found on the site Dutchsubmarines.com, albeit in multiple segments. The cargo submarine concept is a throw back to the WWI German concept - perhaps even the later the later "milch cow" u-boats? I do have to wonder if this design was prompted by the Dutch experience in the...
