Hello, everyone. I recently encountered the Jumo 004E/D, but there doesn't seem to be much out there online about it other than it had a new fuel control unit, had up to 2,600 lbs of thrust (at least the E version), and was ready for production by the end of the war. Does anyone know how much...
On the 19th of September, 1962, the plane seen here was coming in for a landing after what seemed like a successful test run. A fire caused the plane to lose control, and the pilot had just enough time to eject to safety.
Supposing a wildly implausible situation in which Germany is stymied in 1940 leading to their defeat in 1941, what would a Franco-British war against the USSR in 1941/42 have looked like in the air as they fight over control of Central Europe?
The scenario, for those interested would be...
Why were the control surfaces on the Messerschmitt planes so small (as it is with most other german planes also) compared to their allied counterparts?
Anyone aware of what type of fire control directors would be on Naval vessels throughout the war? Or a good source for this info? I'm most interested in the Pacific, but any info would be helpful.
I'm thinking that Japanese capital ship had the type 95 director only on the 3x25mm mounts...
