Last Monday completed 74 years the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, one of the most painful days of American History. I share with you here a link that brings a collection of dramatic photos, many of them rare, showing the devastation caused by the attack on the airfields of the island. Visit...

Researchers have been able to find an additional PBY in about 30 feet of water at Kāne‛ohe Bay, where a U.S. Naval air station once was. The large compliment of PBY Catalinas were mostly destroyed both in the bay and ashore, as the Imperial Japanese attack waves headed for Pearl Harbor. Due to...

I started working on this thread a while ago, while the discussion on the He 177 strayed into Norwegian waters, but it’s not supposed to take sides in that discussion. In any event lack of time and troubles uploading took a long time. It's principally based on Asmussen, John and Åkra, Kjetil...

What if... The Army tried Dauntlesses and Helldivers but not Avengers. Think of a Grumman Avenger with an R-2800 instead of R-2600 plus its armament of 4 500 pounders, 8 rockets and two 20mm in the wings like the TBF-1C and consider the power operated .50 turret. What if the 9th AF had...
