I think if Italy were to stand up to Germany with Britain and France they would have won. Here is the historical scenario: The allies hold back and wait for Poland to fall. Germany has to now cover both France and Italy. Here Hitler has two options Italy first or France First because I could no...

This is the first video in the series, which is continuing with a new video each week for six years, as World War Two is described in realtime. The channel is called (appropriately enough) "World War Two," and is from the same folks who have done the "Between Two Wars" historical series on...

Here's a montage for our new digital book "SBD Dauntless in Detail & Scale". This is an updated and expanded edition of the long out-of-print hard copy "SBD Dauntless in Detail & Scale" covering one of the few combat aircraft to serve from the beginning to the end of WWII. The pivotal role the...

I found this today. Lots of info on the history of the Douglas El Segundo manufactoring plant and the Los Angeles Air Force Station. I used to work near here. I always wondered about this building. http://www.losangeles.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-130424-048.pdf

Michal Solarski is careful to mention that he's a photographer, not a historian. However, it was his fascination with history, specifically World War II's effect on the Polish people, that guided him to create his newest photography book: "The Airmen." Polish fighter pilots during WWII -...

Information from "The Day of Battle" by Rick Atkinson. "Two companies of Rajputana Rifles reached Castle Hill" "After the second day, resupply came only by air, in belly tanks dropped by A-36s from fifty feet, or by parachute." 500 A-36s built yet popular history books seldom mention A-36...

So gentlemen, Yesterday was our town wide garage sale and my father had two boxes that he was debating selling, after some thought we decided to not let them go and were trying to find some history as to how old they are.... The first set of pictures is a box for what looks like 9 shells...

Glad to be back on the forum after a long departure! This is my new painting of 'Hey Moe' for the last surviving member of her original crew. 'Hey Moe' was a B-24 H built in Tulsa, Oklahoma with the Ford nose. Aircraft serial number 42-51090 served with the 15th Air Force, 451st Bomb Group...

Dear members of WW2Aircraft, I recently started with a new independent online historian and collector's magazine, dedicated to the militaria and history of both Axis and Allied powers during the World War 1 2. Argunners is a central resource offering the latest militaria and war history news...

Just received this from a fellow RCAF member. It may be of interest. May have to cut and paste the web address. The history of Canadian Air Force. On Canadian Wings, published Jul 22, 2014, is a ten episode documentary on the history of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Starting from early...

Hey guys, I'm looking for the French operational history of F4U-7 BuNo 133710. I know its post-French history well (Baa Baa Black Sheep, Alberta Blue) and that its BuNo was often confused for 133714 due to its N number, but I cannot find any info about its French history, even photos, besides...

Rare photos of the SR-71 Blackbird show its amazing history

It's curious how this light bomber was built in number that exceeds that of its winning competitor, the Mitsubishi Ki-30, whilst there's poor evidence of its use. Wikipedia mentions it fought in "the Second Sino-Japanese War, equipping the 3rd, 6th, 10th, 35th, 45th, 65th and 75th Sentai. It...

Greetings, I am not sure where I can post this information, so I will put it up here and see what happens. I created a website about 4-5 months ago for a quick reference for flight sim pilots to get a little knowledge on what aircraft they were flying in flight sims. I know that in this day...
