WWII German Mk-108 30mm Auto-Cannon Combat Effectiveness Against US Bombers and Fighters

A Devastating Weapon This explores the impact of the German Luftwaffe’s decision to adopt the MK 108 30mm autocannon as the main weapon for its World War II bomber interceptors. As the air war over Europe escalated, German forces faced growing waves of heavily armed Allied bombers like the American B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and the British Lancaster. These aircraft were tough, heavily armored, and defended by multiple gunners, making…Read Article

This Only Happened Once in All of WW2

The Soviet convoy moved confidently through the Yugoslav countryside, red banners flying in celebration of the Revolution’s anniversary. It was 1944, and with the Luftwaffe gone, the skies seemed safe. Then, twin-boomed fighters appeared over the ridge and dove toward the column. Confused soldiers waved red flags, trying to signal they were allies. The planes didn’t stop. Cannon fire erupted. Vehicles exploded. General Kotov’s car went up in fla…World War II · NišRead Article

Can The F-15EX Beat 5th-Gen Fighters?

After a series of accidents, catastrophes, and scandals, several brands in the modern era have lost as much public trust as quickly as the once-lauded Boeing company. Boeing now faces a significant uphill climb toward regaining the world’s faith and the confidence of American lawmakers. Last month, the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation released its extensive 2024 report, a nearly 500-page document outlining the testing, perf…Boeing · United StatesRead Article

Why This RAF Warplane Terrified WWII German Tanks And Nearly Killed Its Own Pilots

A Fighter Built from Urgency The Hawker Typhoon wasn’t originally built to attack tanks. In fact, its designers intended it as a high-speed interceptor to counter German bombers. But early tests exposed serious issues. During its 1940 trials, pilots experienced dangerous vibrations, carbon monoxide leaks, and unreliable engine behavior. At one point, there was talk of canceling the entire project. But the war changed everything, and instead of b…World War II · EnglandRead Article

When the Japanese Turned Zero Fighters Into Floatplanes During WWII—Nakajima A6M2-N 'Rufe'

Why Floatplane Fighters Were Needed During World War II, several countries experimented with turning land-based aircraft into floatplanes. This approach gave military planners more flexibility, especially in areas without airfields. While some nations used floatplanes mainly for scouting, Japan also saw their value as a way to provide fighter protection in remote areas. When land bases weren’t available, floatplanes could be launched from water …World War II · JapanRead Article

B-17 vs B-24: Which Was the Best American Bomber of WW2?

At the American Air Museum in Duxford, two legendary WWII bombers sit side by side—the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. Both played critical roles in the Allied bombing campaigns over Europe, but each brought a very different set of strengths—and reputations—to the fight. So, which bomber really had the edge? Performance in Combat The B-24’s high-aspect-ratio Davis wing gave it impressive lift and efficiency, allo…World War II · DuxfordRead Article

The ME 262's Strangest and Deadliest Variants

The Messerschmitt Me 262 wasn’t just the world’s first operational jet fighter—it was also one of WWII’s most heavily modified aircraft. As Germany scrambled for technological dominance late in the war, engineers turned the Me 262 into a platform for wild experiments and fearsome firepower. From massive cannons to rocket-powered interceptors, here are the strangest and deadliest Me 262 variants ever built. The Bomber Killer: Me 262 A-1a/U4 “Pulk…World War II · GermanyRead Article

Tinian Island WW2 Airfield Brought Back to Life

A Historic Island With Lasting Importance Tinian Island, part of the Mariana Islands, played a major role during World War II. Though only about 39 square miles in size, it became home to the largest airfield in the Pacific and a key base for launching bombing missions against Japan. In 1944, U.S. forces took control of the island and began building what would become the primary base for B-29 Superfortress bombers. These included the planes that…World War II · Northern Mariana IslandsRead Article

Rare Focke-Wulf Wreck Discovered in French Lake as Incredible WWII Relic

The Forgotten Trainer of a War-Torn Era While the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 is often remembered as one of the main German fighter aircraft of World War II, the same company also developed several lesser-known planes. Among these was the Focke-Wulf Fw 58, a twin-engine low-wing monoplane introduced in 1937. Built as a multipurpose aircraft, it played various roles during the war. Originally created as an advanced trainer for pilots and aircrew, it was al…World War II · FranceRead Article
