How did the exact US Navy Pilot Uniform looked like (more specific in the Pacific area)? I could find this photo, but that’s all. Does anybody got a detailed list with a description of every item those pilote wore during ww2?

Hi everybody, I’m excited to be a part of this forum. This is actually my first post 🤩! I’ve got a question! Does anybody know at what speed a WW2-fighterplane is going down, after it was hit? And how long (minutes/seconds) would it take till it reached the ground and crashed?

Hi everybody I'm new to this forum, and this is my first post. I hope somebody can help me with some questions I have. I'm not familiar at alle with the Wildcat, USN and USAAF in general, that's why I'm reaching out to you guys. - What kind of Radio equipment did the Grumman F4F Wildcat have...

This obscure plane saw quite limited service during ww2. It was designed from the tri-engine ca.101, and despite the reliability risk of a single engined bomber (especially inline engines), it turned out to be a good decision. It was faster than the ca.101 and the ca.133. It mostly served in...

My cousins grandfather flew aboard a ww2 american Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber nicknamed "The O-Bitch-u-airy Mary". I recall that it was shot down over France and he survived but most of his crew, dear friends of his, did not. There was a photo hanging in his house of the plane and the...

Being looking around the net I have found a couple of MicroMir (МикроМир) 1/48 kits of the soviet UT-1 ( Яковлев УТ-1 ) training/aerobatic plane. All kits are of the same set of sprues basically. Also there is a PE set included. The differences are just decal markings and the PE sets ( depending...

I share with you an interesting collection of pictures showing one of the projects launched at the end of World War II by Germany as part of its war effort to try to avoid the increasingly Allied bombing. The big question remains whether this rocket plane had been built in greater quantities and...

Hi everyone, My name is Marius from Roumania. This week I found about where a plane crashed in WW2. I was at the site, and I found a lot of debris, but no identifiable. I also found someone a few pieces that were found at the crash site with many years ago. My request to you is if you can...

Does anyone in here have a file of the dates or months when the various units in the USAAF and USN/USMC converted to what aircraft? If so, I could come up with and post a file that shows the plane they were likely flying when they got whatever victory they got. If not, thanks for reading...

Too lazy to find it myself :-}

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.
