Den Sikorskij H-5, (initially designated R-5 and also known as S-48, S-51 and by company designation VS-327) was a helicopter built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. It was used by the United States Air Force, and its predecessor, the United States Army Air Forces, as well as the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard (with the designations HO2S and HO3S). It was also used by the United States Post Office Department. In December 1946, an agreement was signed between the British company Westland Aircraft and Sikorsky to produce a British version of the H-5, to be manufactured under license in Britain as the Westland-Sikorsky WS-51 Dragonfly. By the time production ceased in 1951, more than 300 examples of all types of the H-5 had been built.

Den Culver PQ-14 Kadett is a modified version of the Culver LFA Cadet used as a target drone.

Northrop F-20 Tigershark
Land	Usa
Roll	Stridsflygplan
Första flygningen	30 August 1982
Byggd	3

Den Northrop F-20 Tigershark (initially F-5G) was a privately financed light fighter, designed and built by Northrop. Its development began in 1975 as a further evolution of Northrop’s F-5E Tiger II, featuring a new engine that greatly improved overall performance, and a modern avionics suite including a powerful and flexible radar. Compared with the F-5E, the F-20 was much faster, gained beyond-visual-range air-to-air capability, and had a full suite of air-to-ground modes capable of firing most U.S. weapons. With these improved capabilities, the F-20 became competitive with contemporary fighter designs such as the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, but was much less expensive to purchase and operate.

Harley-Davidson WLA
Land	Usa
Roll	Militär motorcykel
Period	Från 1940
Byggd	90000+ (krig)

Den Harley-Davidson WLA är en Harley-Davidson motorcykel som producerades enligt amerikanska arméns specifikationer under åren under och runt andra världskriget. Den baserades på en befintlig civil modell, WL, och är av 45 solotyp, så kallad på grund av dess 45 kubiktum (740 cm3) motorförskjutning och encyklistdesign. Samma motor, i ett något lägre tonläge, drev också den trehjuliga Servi-Car (G-familjen), vilket ledde till "solo" -skillnaden.

North American FJ-1 Fury
Land	Usa
Roll	Stridsflygplan
Första flygningen	11 September 1946
Byggd	31

Den Nordamerikansk fj-1 raseri is the first operational jet aircraft in United States Navy service, and was developed by North American Aviation as the NA-135. The FJ-1 was an early transitional jet of limited success which carried over similar tail surfaces, wing and canopy derived from the piston-engined P-51D Mustang. The evolution of the design to incorporate swept wings would become the basis for the land-based XP-86 prototype – itself originally designed with a very similar straight-wing planform to the FJ-1 airframe – of the United States Air Force’s enormously influential F-86 Sabre, which itself formed the basis for the Navy’s carrier-based North American FJ-2/-3 Fury.

Den Nordamerikanska FJ-4 Fury was a swept-wing carrier-capable fighter-bomber for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The final development in a lineage that included the Air Force’s F-86 Sabre, the FJ-4 shared its general layout and engine with the earlier FJ-3, but featured an entirely new wing design and was a vastly different design in its final embodiment.

Vought OS2U Kingfisher
Land	Usa
Roll	Observation flottörplan
Första flygningen	1938
Byggd	1519

Den Vought OS2U Kingfisher was an American catapult-launched observation floatplane. It was a compact mid-wing monoplane, with a large central float and small stabilizing floats. Performance was modest, because of its light engine. The OS2U could also operate on fixed, wheeled, taildragger landing gear. The OS2U was the main shipboard observation aircraft used by the United States Navy during World War II, and 1,519 of the aircraft were built. It served on battleships and cruisers of the US Navy, with the United States Marine Corps in Marine Scouting Squadron Three (VMS-3), with the United States Coast Guard at coastal air stations, at sea with the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy, and with the Soviet Navy. The Royal Australian Air Force also operated a few Kingfishers from shore bases.
