    WINGS at SEA, Landing a Pusher-Prop on a Postage Stamp....

    A knotty design conundrum! Using some 'imagineering', what if the Curtis XP55 'Ascender' and the Kyushu J7W 'Shinden' went into production and both spawned navalised variants for carrier deployment. The thorny issue of deck landing arises; 3-point tricycle landing gear means the awkward...

    HMS Flat Iron

    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.

    Does anyone have a copy of "Wireless for the Warrior" by Meulstee?

    I'm putting together an article on the Wireless Set No. 10, which deserves to be MUCH better known - it was the first TDM and PCM comms system in the world. Sadly there is very little info on it, but I know that "Wireless for the Warrior" had a relatively detailed description including post-war...

Up to date, I found: * Romanian radio-controlled tracked mine, invented by general Ion Eremia * Hungarian acoustic-fused 44M...

    DUKWs with extension ladders at Pointe du Hoc (Overlord)

    Hi, just find an interesting modification of the DUKW amphibian veichle: maybe it is well known, but I think it deserves a thread. During Overlord preparations, they found that Pointe du Hoc needed to be neutralized by landing forces to prevent the Germans from using the guns positioned there...

    Ford B-24H RAF/Coastal Command??

    I'm trying to find any record of RAF/Coastal Command of the Ford-built B-24H. Thus far I've found small references to B-24H-15-FO 42-52776 going to the RAF as VB904. Also, B-24H-20-FO 42-94797 being drawn from USAAF stocks in the UK to the RAF as Liberator B.IV TT340. Any info on either of...
