Bildegalleri av en Fairchild PT-19A Cornell, The Fairchild PT-19 (company designation Fairchild M62) is an American Fairchild Aircraft monoplane primary trainer aircraft that served with the United States Army Air Forces, RAF and RCAF during World War II. It was a contemporary of the Kaydet biplane trainer and was used by the USAAF during Primary Flying Training as the introductory pre-solo phase trainer for introducing new pilots to flying before passing them on to the more agile Kaydet. As with other USAAF trainers of the period, the PT-19 had multiple designations based on the powerplant installed.

Bildegalleri av en Stearman PT-13D Kaydet, The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 10,626 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the United States Army Air Forces, the United States Navy (as the NS & N2S), and with the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civilian market. In the immediate postwar years they became popular as crop dusters, sports planes, and for aerobatic and wing walking use in air shows.

Bildegalleri av en Polikarpov Po-2, The Polikarpov Po-2 (also U-2) served as a general-purpose Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik (Russian: Кукурузник, from Russian “kukuruza” (кукуруза) for maize; thus, “maize duster” or “crop duster”), NATO reporting name “Mule”. The reliable, uncomplicated concept of the Po-2’s design made it an ideal training aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, psychological warfare and liaison aircraft during war, proved to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union. As of 1978 it remained in production for a longer period of time than any other Soviet-era aircraft. It is one of the most produced aircraft, and may be the most produced biplane with production possibly as high as 30,000 Po-2s built between 1928 and 1959.However, production figures for Polikarpov U-2 and Po-2 bombers and trainers combined are between 20,000 and 30,000. with production ending as early as 1952.

Den Fouga CM.170 Magister is a 1950s French two-seat jet trainer. The related CM.175 Zéphyr was a carrier-capable version for the French Navy. In 1948, development commenced at Fouga on a new primary trainer aircraft design that harnessed newly developed jet propulsion technology. The initial design was evaluated by the French Air Force (Armée de l’Air, AdA) and, in response to its determination that the aircraft lacked sufficient power for its requirements, was enlarged and adopted a pair of Turbomeca Marboré turbojet engines. First flying on 23 July 1952, the first production order for the type was received on 13 January 1954. In addition, the related CM.175 Zéphyr was a carrier-capable version developed and produced for the French Navy.

TypeHowitzer
I tjeneste1940–nå

Bildegalleri av en QF 25pdr II feltpistol, The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was the major British field gun and howitzer during World War II. It was introduced into service just before the war started, combining high-angle and direct-fire, relatively high rates of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece. It remained the British Army’s primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth of Nations countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s and ammunition for the weapon is currently being produced by Pakistan Ordnance Fac. The Mark II: montert på I-vognen var standardkanonen under andre verdenskrig. De ble bygget i Australia og Canada, men for det meste i Storbritannia. Leveranser (fra britisk produksjon) startet i begynnelsen av 1940 og ble først tatt i bruk med et kanadisk regiment stasjonert i Storbritannia i mai 1940. Ingen ammunisjon 25-pr Mk 2 på vogn 25-pr 1 gikk tapt i Frankrike. Denne pistolen avfyrte alle ladninger, 1 – 3 og Super. I 1942 ble en munningsbrems montert på kanonen for å eliminere ustabiliteten forårsaket når man avfyrte 20 lb AP-granaten med Charge Super ved direkte ild i lave høydevinkler. For å bevare kanonens balanse på tappene ble det også montert en motvektsvekt, rett foran seteringen. Betegnelsen på den modifiserte kanonen ble ikke endret. Til slutt ble alle våpen som tjenestegjorde i Europa konvertert på denne måten.

Den de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Møll er en 1930-talls dobbeltdekker konstruert av Geoffrey de Havilland og ble operert av Royal Air Force (RAF) og andre som en primær trener. Tiger Moth forble i tjeneste hos RAF inntil den ble erstattet av de Havilland Chipmunk i 1952, da mange av overskuddsflyene ble satt i sivil drift. Mange andre nasjoner brukte Tiger Moth i både militære og sivile applikasjoner, og det er fortsatt i utbredt bruk som fritidsfly i mange land. Det er fortsatt tidvis brukt som en primær trening fly, spesielt for de piloter som ønsker å få erfaring før du går videre til andre halehjulet fly. Mange er nå ansatt i ulike selskaper som tilbyr prøvetimer. De Havilland Moth-klubben, grunnlagt i 1975, er nå en eierforening som tilbyr en gjensidig klubb og teknisk støtte.
