    Welbum

    Hello all, been a minute I am not sure where to post this, but has anyone heard of the Welbum? It's in the same league as the Welrod, Welwand, Welfreighter, and Welman when it comes to British convert R&D at Station IX in WW2. I saw the name pop up while reading about the Welwand and I...

    Stukas over Panama ("Operation Pelikan") ?

    Stukas over Panama? In addition during 1943 plans were hatched to fly two Ju-87B stukas from St Martin Cay near Nicaragua to bomb the Panama canal. These were to be taken there by U-boat. I read this--on this very forum I believe--a fair wee while ago while hunting around Google for...

    CA class Midget submarines (Royal Italian Navy)

    An interesting midget submarine that became a vital part of an even more interesting operation of the Decima Flottiglia MAS that came close to fruition in 1943 (it was ultimately scheduled for December of that year, but events intervened). Development of the CA-class had begun pre-war, in 1938...

    LTV / Scaled Composites SOFTA (Special Ops Forces Transport Aircraft) proposals

    The Vought Archive at the University of Texas in Dallas contains quite a strange series of entries: This clearly indicates that Scaled Composites conducted a study in 1991 for the rapid prototyping of a SOFTA aircraft. Strange is the way the XC-142 seems to be associated to the same report...

    COMBATANT CRAFT MEDIUM (CCM), MK 1

    Because of a little disagreement over in Naval Projects, I did a bit more digging on this program and found some interesting facts that I thought merited a new topic (here for the moment, rather than Military, since the prototypes don't seem to have been built yet). The Combatant Craft, Heavy...
