I can't remember where I read about it. The story was in the end of World War I or in the early 1920s in the USA a very heavy bomb was designed, build and test. But the plane, for which this bomb was designed, never get into the service. Only after many years they build next bomber capable for...

Over in the Army Projects section of this forum I came across a thread on a declassified 1946 report of the U.S. National Defense Research Committee, Division 12, "Transportation Equipment and Related Problems." The report is a collection of scientific analyses and research on everything from...

I discovered the attached several years back while researching at NARA; I'm not an AFV guy, so I'm hoping the experts here can shed some light on it. The report dates from June 20, 1945. Does this tank project show up at all in "Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank" by R.P...
