Minelayer units are escorted by German Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor reconnaissance planes, somewhere over the Atlantic or the North Sea, in 1941.

Kamikaze then and now, and how it came.

Japanese kamikaze spirit is probably coming from an obsession of "No unity, no country" since the 7th century when Kyusyu Island of Japan had been occupied by China together with Korean Peninsula.
As a trivia, Koreans beat Chinese back to the northern border of the peninsula to liberate Korea and Kyusyu a few years later. It was a historic victory of Korean diplomacy.

Martin-Baker MB2

I was always a fan of the MB3, particularly this photo which was edited to show a proposed blown canopy. The heritage from the MB2, particularly the tail, is noticeable:

One thing I particularly liked about the Martin Baker designs is that they were built from the very beginning to be simple to maintain and the cockpit was an ergonomic delight compared to contemporary fighters. It's just a shame that the MB3 never made it into production. I think it would have been a pretty capable aircraft.

It was considerably later than the P-51. First flight was in August 1942...but it had the 2000hp Sabre engine and armament was 6x20mm cannon. We are left to wonder what might have happened had the only prototype not crashed due to engine failure in September 1942, not just due to the loss of the airframe but also because it killed James Martin, one of the company's co-founders.
