Radioplane BTT
Land	Usa
Rolle	Zieldrohne
Erste Fliege	Unbekannter
Gebaut	7300+

das Radioplane BTTRP-71 ist eine Familie von Zieldrohnen, die von der Radioplane Company (später eine Abteilung von Northrop) produziert wurde.

MQM-57 Falkner: A variant of the BTT designated the RP-71, also known as the SD-1 Observer and later redesignated MQM-57 Falconer, was built for battlefield reconnaissance, with first flight in 1955. The Falconer was similar in appearance to the Shelduck, but had a slightly longer and stockier fuselage. It had an autopilot system with radio-control backup, and could carry cameras, as well as illumination flares for night reconnaissance. Equipment was loaded through a hump in the back between the wings. Although it only had an endurance of a little more than a half-hour, making it of limited use, about 1,500 Falconers were built and the type was used internationally with several different military forces, remaining in service into the 1970s. Over 73,000 BTT targets were built in all, and the type was used by at least 18 nations. Some may still be lingering in service.

Intelligent Whale
Land	Usa
Rolle	Klasse
Hingelegt	1863
Gebaut	1

Intelligenter Wal, ein experimentelles U-Boot mit Handkurbel, wurde 1863 nach dem Entwurf der Scovel Sturgis Merriam von Augustus Price und Cornelius Scranton Bushnell gebaut. Im Jahr 1864 wurde die American Submarine Company gegründet, die die Interessen von Bushnell und Price übernahm, und es folgte ein jahrelanger Rechtsstreit über den Besitz des Schiffes. Als das U-Boot von einem Gericht festgestellt wurde, wurde es am 29. Oktober 1869 durch einen Vertrag des Eigentümers Oliver Halstead und des Marineministers George M. Robeson an das Marineministerium der Vereinigten Staaten verkauft, wobei der größte Teil des Preises nach erfolgreichen Versuchen zu zahlen war. Im September 1872 fand der erste Versuch statt, der erfolglos blieb, woraufhin das Ministerium weitere Zahlungen ablehnte und das Projekt aufgab.

Convair F2Y Sea Dart
Land	Usa
Rolle	Wasserflugzeug-Kämpfer
Erstflug	14. Januar 1953
Gebaut	5

das Convair F2Y Sea Dart was an American seaplane fighter aircraft that rode on twin hydro-skis during takeoff and landing. It flew only as a prototype, and never entered mass production. It is the only seaplane to have exceeded the speed of sound. It was created in the 1950s, to overcome the problems with supersonic planes taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. The program was canceled after a series of unsatisfactory results and a tragic accident on 4 November 1954, when test pilot Charles E. Richbourg was killed when the Sea Dart he was piloting disintegrated in midair. The four surviving planes were retired in 1957, but some were kept in reserve until 1962.

Fokker D. XXI
Land	Holländisch
Rolle	Kämpfer
Erstflug	27. März 1936
Gebaut	146

das Fokker D.XXI fighter was designed in 1935 by Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker in response to requirements laid out by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force (Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger, ML-KNIL). The D.XXI was designed as an inexpensive, rugged, and compact fighter aircraft that would possess respectable performance for its era. Entering operational use in the early years of the Second World War, it provided yeoman service for both the Luchtvaartafdeling (Dutch Army Aviation Group) and the Finnish Air Force. Additionally, a few examples were constructed by the El Carmolí factory before it fell into rebel hands during the Spanish Civil War. Following the invasion and occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940, several captured Dutch D.XXIs were subsequently placed into service with the Luftwaffe.

USS Albacore
Land	Usa
Rolle	Forschungs-U-Boot
Gestartet	1. August 1953
Stillgelegt	9. Dezember 1972

USS Albacore (AGSS-569) was a unique research submarine that pioneered the American version of the teardrop hull form (sometimes referred to as an “Albacore hull”) of modern submarines. The revolutionary design was derived from extensive hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing, with an emphasis on underwater speed and maneuverability. She was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the albacore. Her keel was laid down on 15 March 1952 by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard of Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 1 August 1953, sponsored by Mrs. J. E. Jowers, the widow of Chief Motor Machinist’s Mate Arthur L. Stanton, lost with the second Albacore (SS-218), and commissioned on 6 December 1953 with Lieutenant Commander Kenneth C. Gummerson in command

Land	Schweden
Klasse	Kämpfer
Erstflug	Januar 1942
Gebaut	198

das FFVS J 22 is a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Swedish Air Force during World War II. At the onset of World War II, the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) was equipped with largely obsolete Gloster Gladiator (J 8) biplane fighters. To augment this, Sweden ordered 120 Seversky P-35 (J 9) and 144 P-66 Vanguard (J 10) aircraft from the United States. However, on 18 June 1940 after the German occupation of Norway, the United States declared an embargo against exporting weapons to any nation other than Great Britain.

de Havilland DH.60 Moth
Land	Großbritannien
Klasse	Trainer
Erstflug	22. Februar 1925
Gebaut	Unbekannter

das de Havilland DH.60 Motte is a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The DH.60 was developed from the larger DH.51 biplane. The first flight of the Cirrus powered prototype DH.60 Moth (registration G-EBKT) was carried out by Geoffrey de Havilland at the works airfield at Stag Lane on 22 February 1925. The Moth was a two-seat biplane of wooden construction, it had a plywood covered fuselage and fabric covered surfaces, a standard tailplane with a single tailplane and fin. A useful feature of the design was its folding wings which allowed owners to hangar the aircraft in much smaller spaces. The then Secretary of State for Air Sir Samuel Hoare became interested in the aircraft and the Air Ministry subsidised five flying clubs and equipped them with Moths.
