Bell X-1
Country	USA
Type	Experimental aircraft
First flight	19 January 1946
Built	04

Photo gallery of a Bell X-1B, The Bell X-1, designated originally as XS-1, was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by the Bell Aircraft Company. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built during 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h; 870 kn) during 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h; 1,400 kn) during 1954. The X-1 was the first manned airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the so-called X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret.

Avro Vulcan B2
Country	UK
Role	Strategic bomber
First flight	30 August 1952
Built	136

Photo gallery of a Avro Vulcan B2, The Avro Vulcan (officially Hawker Siddeley Vulcan from July 1963) is a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Aircraft manufacturer A.V. Roe and Company (Avro) designed the Vulcan in response to Specification B.35/46. Of the three V bombers produced, the Vulcan was considered the most technically advanced and hence the riskiest option. Several scale aircraft, designated Avro 707, were produced to test and refine the delta wing design principles.

Italeri
Ref	36507
Serie	World of Tanks
Scale	1/35
Topic	Leopard 1

THE BOX CONTAIN: 1 MODEL KIT – 1 LIQUID CEMENT – 1 TANK GUIDE – 1 POSTER (42×59,4cm) – WORLD oF TANKS DECALS – 3 INVITE CODES – 1 BONUS CODE

The Leopard 1 was the main battle tank of West Germany, first entering service in 1965. On the one hand, this is a saga of perfect German engineering evidenced by its fantastic cross-country performance. On the other hand, this is only half the story. In truth, this tank was an international effort featuring a German-built version of the fantastic British L7 105mm gun which made this tank one of the deadliest machines on the planet. France and other European nations also had an impact on its design. Over 6000 tanks were manufactured and saw service in diverse conflicts at the hands of various militaries. Throughout its lifetime it saw a series of six upgrades from Leopard 1A1 up to Leopard 1A6. It was also used as a platform for many specialist military vehicles and was of particular use to army engineers. The legacy of this tank lives on to this day, with some arguing it was the greatest machine of its age.

Magach 7
Country	Israel
Type	Main battle tank
Photographer	Jian Zhen Wei
Localisation	The Latrun Tank Museum in Israel
Topic	Album of 13 photos of a Magach 7

Photo galery of a Magach 7, Magach designation refers to a series of tanks in Israeli service. The tanks are based on the American M48 and M60 Patton tanks. Magach 1, 2, 3 and 5 are based upon M48 tanks; Magach 6 and 7 are based upon M60 tanks.

The M60 Patton is a main battle tank (MBT) introduced in December 1960.[5] With the United States Army’s deactivation of their last (M103) heavy tank battalion in 1963, the M60 became the Army’s primary tank during the Cold War. Although developed from the M48 Patton, the M60 series was never officially classified as a Patton tank, but as a “product-improved descendant” of the Patton series. In March 1959, the tank was officially standardized as the 105 mm Gun Full Tracked Combat Tank M60.
