Howitzer 149-19

CountryItaly
RoleHeavy howitzer
In service1939–1951

The Obice da 149/19 modello 37 was a heavy howitzer used by Italy during World War II. It was intended to replace Italy’s assortment of World War I-era heavy howitzers, but its prolonged development and slow production hindered this plan. Despite orders for 1,392 weapons, only 147 had been built by September 1942. There were three models—the 37, 41, and 42—differing only in minor details. The standard tractor was the Trattore SPA TM 40. After the Italian surrender in 1943, the Germans continued its production with the designation 15 cm sFH 404(i). Despite having the same weight as the German 15 cm sFH 18, it had a superior range. The Italian army used it until 1974.

The Martin AM Mauler (originally XBTM) is a single-seat carrier-based attack aircraft built for the United States Navy. Designed during World War II, the Mauler encountered development delays and did not enter service until 1948 in small numbers. The aircraft proved troublesome and remained in frontline service only until 1950, when the Navy switched to the smaller and simpler Douglas AD Skyraider. Maulers remained in reserve squadrons until 1953. A few were built as AM-1Q electronic-warfare aircraft with an additional crewman in the fuselage.
