Officially known as the 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7, the M7 Priest is a self-propelled gun produced during World War II by the United States. Priest is the nickname given by the British, due to the fact that the machine gun placed on a rail gave the impression that the tank was equipped with a pulpit. It followed the English Bishop and they officially called it 105mm SP Priest. (The British liked to give names related to religion to their self-propelled guns (Priest - priest, Bishop , bishop, Sexton - sacristan), a tradition that lasted until the 1960s with the Abbot (abbot).)

Curtiss SB2C-5 Helldiver
Pays	USA
Type	Bombardier

The plane SB2C Helldiver built by the firm Curtiss et que ses équipages ont surnommé «La bête» (The Beast) est un avion militaire qui a évolué durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’usine Curtiss as well as Brewster's, received an order from the U.S. Navy in May 39 to provide for the replacement of the Douglas SBD Dauntless as a dive bomber on board the U.S. Navy aircraft carriers. The prototype made its first test flight on December 18, 1940 before being destroyed in an accident in the days that followed. This incident meant that the delay was compounded by numerous modifications to the original draft, resulting in a first serial flight than in June 1942. Its first war mission was apparently carried out on 11 November 1943 during the attack on the Japanese-occupied island of Rabaul.

Country	Germany
Type	Tank destroyer
In service	1944–1945
Built	415

Photo gallery of a Jagdpanther, The Jagdpanther (German: “hunting panther”) was a tank destroyer built by Nazi Germany during World War II based on the chassis of the Panther tank. It entered service late in the war (1944) and saw service on the Eastern and Western fronts. The Jagdpanther combined the very powerful 8.8 cm PaK 43 cannon of the Tiger II and the characteristically excellent armor and suspension of the Panther chassis, although it suffered from the general poor state of Germany in the later part of the war, which resulted in small production numbers, shortage in spare parts and poor crew training.
