hi there! lookin' for potential images / information about Aleksandr Pokryshkin's Yak-1 during 1941, specifically the paint scheme/camouflage and whether it had some particular symbols to it. much appreciated !

I'm reading letters from 1941 from a radioman who's part of a Navy submarine patrol aircraft based in Providence, RI, written to his brother, an air cadet based in Long Island. The Navy radioman implores his brother in a couple of letters to sign up for some sort of commercial duty with...

It may be of interest to know that on issue 109/2015 of “Ali Antiche” (“Old WIngs”, the magazine of GAVS, the Italian Historical Aircraft Friends Group: GAVS - Gruppo Amici Velivoli Storici - Magazine) an article was published, which describes a recently discovered document summing up the flight...

The discussion of the German best options for the Op. Barbarossa prompted me for this thread. From early 1941, what would be the best options for the Soviets to better withstand Axis invasion? It is not much about their equipment (it's much too late to do many of the changes), but about the...

A companion thread to Tomo's fighter thread. Which 3 bombers were the best available (in production and service/combat) for the Allies in 1941. They could be light, medium, heavy, strategic, tactical, torpedo or dive bomber. Or any other category of bomber I have missed.

What Allied fighter aircraft types should earn the medals in 1941? The series produced examples are contenders, ones that made it in service in that year? So no F4U, Spit IX, P-51, La-5 etc. The carrier-based aircraft can also compete, but CV suitabiity yields no points in this thread. The...

Hello, I am currently researching into the possibility of repainting a North American Harvard into RAF colours and finding it a little bit difficult to come up with the facts. The airframe we would like to paint her as, is a Harvard Mk.II that was based first in the Middle East in 1941 with...
