Galerie de photos d’un Stridsvagn m-38 Stridsvagn L-60 (Strv L-60), also known as Landsverk L-60, was a Swedish tank developed in 1934. It was developed by AB Landsverk as a light tank which included several advanced design features such as torsion bar suspension, periscopes rather than view slits and all-welded construction. The L-60 was progressively improved and four variants were created: L-60A, L-60B, L-60C (37mm gun), L-60D (new turret and 37mm gun and twin machine guns). The L-60 eventually evolved into the Stridsvagn m/38 and subsequent Stridsvagn m/39 and Stridsvagn m/40 and was adopted by the Swedish army as such.

Galerie de photos d’un Hawker Tempest V at The Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon, The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War. The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, the type originally being known as the Typhoon II, which was intended to address the Typhoon’s chute inattendue des performances à haute altitude en remplaçant son aile par une conception de débit laminaire plus mince. Ayant considérablement divergé du Typhoon, il a été choisi pour renommer l’avion Tempest. Le Tempest est apparu comme l’un des chasseurs les plus puissants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et a été l’avion à hélices le plus rapide de la guerre à basse altitude.
