Galería de fotos de un Bachem Ba 349 Natter, The Bachem Ba 349 Natter (English: Colubrid, grass-snake) was a World War II German point-defence rocket-powered interceptor, which was to be used in a very similar way to a manned surface-to-air missile. After a vertical take-off, which eliminated the need for airfields, most of the flight to the Allied bombers was to be controlled by an autopilot. The primary role of the relatively untrained pilot was to aim the aircraft at its target bomber and fire its armament of rockets. The pilot and the fuselage containing the rocket-motor would then land using separate parachutes, while the nose section was disposable. The only manned vertical take-off flight on 1 March 1945 ended in the death of the test pilot, Lothar Sieber.

The final official German designation for the tank was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to just “Tiger I”. The Tiger’s development was started in 1937 by the company, Henschel. Mass production began in 1942 with a total of 1347 vehicles being manufactured over its production run. The initial model used suspension similar to that of the Panther. The hull extended over the tracks to accommodate the wide-ringed turret which could mount the infamous 8,8cm Kw.K 36 L/56. The Tiger first saw combat in the fighting for Leningrad and soon found itself featured in the majority of German armoured engagements. Even though production was discontinued in the summer of 1944, the Tiger I continued to see action until the end of the war. It was the first German heavy tank in WWII and soon proved itself to be extremely formidable against Allied and Soviet units which mostly consisted of Sherman tanks and T-34s at the time.

The CF-100 was the only Canadian-designed fighter to enter mass production, serving primarily with the RCAF/CAF and in small numbers in Belgium. For its day, the CF-100 featured a short takeoff run and high climb rate, making it well suited to its role as an interceptor.

El Panzerkampfwagen 35(t), comúnmente abreviado como Panzer 35(t) o abreviado como Pz.Kpfw. 35(t), fue un tanque ligero de diseño checoslovaco utilizado principalmente por la Alemania nazi durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La letra (t) significaba tschechisch (alemán: "Checo"). En servicio checoslovaco, tenía la designación formal Lehký tank vzor 35 (Tanque Ligero Modelo 35), pero era comúnmente conocido como lt vz. 35 o LT-35. Se construyeron cuatrocientos treinta y cuatro; de ellos, los alemanes se apoderaron de doscientos cuarenta y cuatro cuando ocuparon Bohemia-Moravia en marzo de 1939 y los eslovacos adquirieron cincuenta y dos cuando declararon la independencia de Checoslovaquia al mismo tiempo. Otros se exportaron a Bulgaria y Rumania. En servicio alemán, vio combate durante los primeros años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en particular la Invasión de Polonia, la Batalla de Francia y la invasión de la Unión Soviética antes de ser retirado o vendido en 1942. Fue utilizado durante el resto de la guerra por otros países y como tanque de entrenamiento en Bulgaria en la década de 1950.

Its first flight test was in 1954 and was deployed by the United States Army beginning in 1959, despite being still in the development stage.

Galería de fotos de un Lockheed SR-71 Mirlo, The Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird” is a long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft that was operated by the United States Air Force. It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division. Renowned American aerospace engineer Clarence “Kelly” Johnson was responsible for many of the design’s innovative concepts. During aerial reconnaissance missions, the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outfly the missile. The SR-71 was designed to have basic stealth characteristics and served as a precursor to future stealth aircraft.
