Den Bristol blodhund is a British ramjet powered surface-to-air missile developed during the 1950s. It served as the UK’s main air defence weapon into the 1990s and was in large-scale service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the forces of four other countries. Part of sweeping changes to the UK’s defence posture, the Bloodhound was intended to protect the RAF’s V bomber bases to preserve the deterrent force, attacking bombers that made it past the Lightning interceptor force. Bloodhound Mk. I entered service in December 1958, the first British guided weapon to enter full operational service. This was part of Stage 1 upgrades to the defensive systems, in the later Stage 2, both Bloodhound and the fighters would be replaced by a longer-range missile code named Blue Envoy. When this was ultimately cancelled in 1957, parts of its design were worked into Bloodhound Mk. II, roughly doubling the range of the missile. The Mk. I began to be replaced by the Mk. II starting in 1964.

Den Northrop YC-125 Raider was a 1940s American three-engined STOL utility transport built by Northrop Corporation, Hawthorne, California. Deliveries of the YC-125 to the USAF began in 1950. These aircraft did not serve long as they were underpowered and they were soon sent to Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas and relegated to be ground instructional trainers until retired in 1955 and declared surplus. Most of the surplus aircraft were purchased by Frank Ambrose and sold to bush operators in South and Central America.

Den Sd.Kfz. 11 Annonser (Sonderkraftfahrzeug – special motorized vehicle) was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II. Its main role was as a prime mover for medium towed guns ranging from the 3.7 cm FlaK 43 anti-aircraft gun up to the 10.5 cm leFH 18 field howitzer. It could carry eight troops in addition to towing a gun or trailer. The basic engineering for all the German half-tracks was developed during the Weimar-era by the Reichswehr’s Military Automotive Department, but final design and testing was farmed out to commercial firms with the understanding that production would be shared with multiple companies. Borgward was chosen to develop the second smallest of the German half-tracks and built a series of prototypes between 1934 and 1937. However development was taken over in 1938 by Hanomag who designed the main production version, H kl 6.

Den Sønderkraftfahrzeug 8 ("Special Motorized Vehicle 8") var en tysk halvbandvagn som användes flitigt under andra världskriget. Dess huvudsakliga roller var som drivkraft för tunga bogserade kanoner som 21 cm Mörser 18, 15 cm Kanone 18 och 10,5 cm FlaK 38, men den kunde också fungera som infanteritransport. Cirka 4 000 exemplar tillverkades mellan 1938 och 1945. Det användes i varje fälttåg som utkämpades av tyskarna under andra världskriget, särskilt invasionen av Polen, slaget om Frankrike, Balkankampanjen, östfronten, nordafrikanska kampanjen, slaget om Normandie och det italienska fälttåget.

Den Bushmaster 2000 var ett litet passagerarflygplan som byggdes i USA i ett försök att återuppliva Ford Trimotors design. Arbetet började 1953 med att testa en vintage Trimotor och 1954 köpte Bill Stout designrättigheterna till den ursprungliga Trimotor. På grund av licensproblem med "Ford Tri-Motor" fick Ford 15-AT-D namnet Bushmaster 2000. Den 15 januari 1955 meddelade Stout och partnern Robert Hayden från Hayden Aircraft Corporation att de planerade att bygga 1 000 nya Bushmasters, men det skulle dröja elva år innan den första prototypen av den nya designen flög.

Polarsken (Russian: Авро́ра, tr. Avrora, IPA: [ɐˈvrorə]) is a 1900 Russian protected cruiser, currently preserved as a museum ship in Saint Petersburg. Aurora was one of three Pallada-class cruisers, built in Saint Petersburg for service in the Pacific. All three ships of this class served during the Russo-Japanese War. Aurora survived the Battle of Tsushima and was interned under US protection in the Philippines, and eventually returned to the Baltic Fleet. The second ship, Pallada, was sunk by the Japanese at Port Arthur in 1904. The third ship, Diana, was interned in Saigon after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. One of the first incidents of the October Revolution in Russia took place on the cruiser Aurora, which reportedly fired the first shot, signalling the beginning of the attack on the Winter Palace.
