I recently visited the United States Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, AL, and I came across the McDonnell Douglas Mark II Batwing. I haven't been able to find any information on this aircraft other than what was on the Museum's sign, and the only evidence of its existence on the internet is...

Designed in 1942 by the American Ordnance Company, an old-established gun-making concern of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the M3 half-track carrier, known as the 40mm Gun Motor Carriage T68 (GMC T68) and featured unusual gun layout. The guns were placed, one above the other, a configuration with an...

I just found this picture in an old Italian magazine: The caption says it is a special amphibian veichle to recover the Mercury capsule. The picture was taken during an exercise, using a mockup of the Mercury, with the same dimensions and mass.

I was looking for the history of the anti-aircraft guns of the US Army since 1918 but then stumbled upon an AA gun that I never heard of before. A little effort to find some information was done, but it's surprisingly quite scarce. 4.7-inch Mobile Gun, M1920E The gun was supposed to be the...

Once again, I've come across this 'official' Grumman 'Ranger' missile cutaway desktop model, which I've never seen or heard of before. On the page it's from, it states Grumman 'Ranger' Infantry Heavy Assault Missile (https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25262/lot/19/?category=list) Anyone know...

Hi, just find an interesting modification of the DUKW amphibian veichle: maybe it is well known, but I think it deserves a thread. During Overlord preparations, they found that Pointe du Hoc needed to be neutralized by landing forces to prevent the Germans from using the guns positioned there...
