De 85 mm luchtverdedigingskanon M1939 (52-K) was an 85-mm Soviet air defense gun, developed under guidance of leading Soviet designers M. N. Loginov and G. D. Dorokhin. This gun was successfully used throughout the German-Soviet War against level bombers and other high- and medium-altitude targets. In emergencies they were utilized as powerful anti-tank weapons. The barrel of 52-K was the base for the family of 85-mm Soviet tank guns. Crews of 85-mm AD guns shot down 4,047 Axis aircraft. The mean quantity of 85-mm ammunition required to shoot down one enemy plane was 598 rounds. After the war some 52-Ks were refitted for peaceful purposes as anti-avalanche guns in a mountainous terrain. Virtually every country behind the Iron Curtain received this gun after World War II for their air defense. In the Soviet Union itself, these guns were largely superseded by the 100 and 130 mm guns./p>

De Noord-Amerikaanse luchtvaart P-51 Mustang was an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. The Mustang was conceived, designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a specification issued directly to NAA by the British Purchasing Commission. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed and, with an engine installed, first flew on 26 October. The Mustang was originally designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine, which had limited high-altitude performance. It was first flown operationally by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. The addition of the Rolls-Royce Merlin to the P-51B/C model transformed the Mustang’s performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft, giving it a performance that matched or bettered the majority of the Luftwaffe’s fighters at altitude. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 60 series two-stage two-speed supercharged engine, and armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.

CountryGermany
TypeLight half-track gun tractor
In service1941–1945

De SdKfz, beter bekend als de Kleines Kettenkraftrad HK 101 of Kettenkrad kortom (waar Ketten "ketting" of "sporen" betekent en krad de militaire afkorting is van het Duitse woord Kraftrad, de administratieve Duitse term voor motorfiets), begon zijn leven als een lichte tractor voor luchtlandingstroepen. Het voertuig is ontworpen om te worden geleverd door Junkers Ju 52-vliegtuigen, maar niet per parachute. Het voertuig had het voordeel dat het de enige kanontrekker was die klein genoeg was om in het ruim van de Ju 52 te passen, en was het lichtste in massa geproduceerde Duitse militaire voertuig dat het complexe Schachtellaufwerk overlapte en interleaved wegwielen gebruikte op bijna alle Duitse militaire half-track voertuigen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De Jagdpanzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 162, was een Duitse tankjager gebaseerd op het Panzer IV-chassis en gebouwd in drie hoofdvarianten. Als een van de Kazemat-achtige geschutskoepelloze Jagdpanzer (tankjager, letterlijk "jachttank") ontwerpen, werd het ontwikkeld tegen de wil van Heinz Guderian, de inspecteur-generaal van de Panzertruppen, als vervanging voor de Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III). Guderian maakte bezwaar tegen de in zijn ogen onnodige afleiding van middelen uit de productie van Panzer IV-tanks, omdat de Sturmgeschütz III nog steeds meer dan toereikend was voor zijn rol.

Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) is a six-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle used by the USMC and US Navy. It is designed to replace the old M939 tactical trucks, and was first fielded in 1998, after the contract was awarded to Oshkosh Truck Corporation. The MTVR comes in several variants, for a wide spectrum of tasks. It offers a major improvement in off-road capability. The MTVR is often referred to as a 7-Ton as this denotes the vehicle’s off-road cargo capacity. The MTVR’s maximum payload on paved surfaces is 15 tons. The MTVR is the Marine Corps prime mover for the M777 howitzer, fuel and water assets, troops and a wide variety of equipment. Its wide versatility and off-road capability make the MTVR an integral part of the Marine Corps logistical backbone.

Fotogalerij van een Douglas C-47 Dakota, The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF designation) is a military transport aircraft that was developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front line service with various military operators through the 1950s. The C-47 differed from the civilian DC-3 in numerous modifications that included being fitted with a cargo door and a strengthened floor. During World War II, the armed forces of many countries used the C-47 and modified DC-3s for the transport of troops, cargo, and wounded. The U.S. Naval designation was R4D. More than 10,000 aircraft were produced in Long Beach and Santa Monica, California and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma City plant produced 5,354 C-47s from March 1943 until August 1945.
