The Automitrailleuse de Reconnaissance Renault Modèle 1933 (AMR 33 or Renault VM) was a French light cavalry tank developed during the Interbellum and used in the Second World War. Developed by Renault from 1932, the type was in 1933 ordered by the French Cavalry; a total of 123 would be built until 1935. The AMR 33 was lightly armed and armoured; though it was very fast for its day, it proved to be a mechanically unreliable vehicle, especially its suspension elements were too weak. It was therefore succeeded by an improved type, the AMR 35.

Le Polikarpov I-16 era un caccia sovietico di design rivoluzionario, fu il primo caccia monoplano a sbalzi ad ala bassa al mondo con carrello di atterraggio retrattile per raggiungere lo status operativo e come tale "introdusse una nuova moda nel design dei caccia". L'I-16 fu introdotto a metà degli anni 1930 e formò la spina dorsale dell'aviazione sovietica all'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale. Il combattente diminutivo, soprannominato "Ishak" o "Ishachok" ("Asino" o "Burro") dai piloti sovietici, figurava in primo piano nella seconda guerra sino-giapponese, nella battaglia di Khalkhin Gol e nella guerra civile spagnola - dove fu chiamato Rata ("Ratto") dai nazionalisti o Mosca ("Mosca") dai repubblicani. Il soprannome finlandese era Siipiorava ("Scoiattolo volante").

Galleria fotografica di un Hummer M1114, The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as the Humvee, is a four-wheel drive military light truck produced by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles previously performed by the original jeep, and others such as the Vietnam-era M151 jeep, the M561 “Gama Goat”, their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV), and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also used by numerous other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations. The Humvee’s widespread use in the Gulf War of 1991, where it negotiated the treacherous desert terrain, helped inspire civilian Hummer versions.
