World War II, a time in history of great upheaval the world over. Found here in are some of the machines used in that time by the men and women who fought the battles, delivered the supplies, and transported the wounded. Look around and enjoy the historical information, the specifications, pictures and videos of the machines of war that were used in World War II.
The "A" class destroyers were supposed to allow for better crew accommodations for longer patrols but cost cutting prevented many of them from being included in the ships.
The first destroyers built after World War I were call the Prototype destroyers as they were supposed to be the designs of the future.
Here's the counters that come in Red Factories.
The Scott class destroyers were from the late World War I era and were used for escort duties.
Here's the counters that come in Le Franc Tireur #14 and Le Franc Tireur - Kampfgruppe Scherer.
Going to step away from aircraft and go back to ships.
The Shakespeare class destroyers were World War I era craft that were mostly used around the United Kingdom on escort duties.
A unique design, with two engines located in the fuselage and the propellers in the wings, the Umbra MB.902 had only a prototype built before the surrender of Italy in September 1943.
The Umbra T.18 fighter was only built as a prototype as it proved to be a very poor design during its flight trials.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.95 started out to be a transatlantic passenger aircraft but the few that were built during the war were converted to military transports.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.93 was to be a ground attack aircraft but was developed too late in the war.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.92 was a two boom design following the SM.91. There was only one prototype built and it was tested by the Luftwaffe who decided not to enter it into production.
Here's the counter listings for Critical Hit Annual Issue 4.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.91 had some similarities to the Lockheed P-38 Lightning but never got past the prototype stage.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.89 was still being evaluated when Italy surrendered.
A few of the Savoia-Marchetti SM.87 float plane transports were built before World War II. They were based on the SM.75 transport.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.86 was aerodynamically better than the SM.85 but only one prototype was built.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.85 was to be a ground attack aircraft but it performed so poorly it was withdrawn from service.
There were two Savoia-Marchetti SM.84s, one a transport that never went into production, and the bomber which wasn't well liked by its crews.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.83 was originally built for civilian use but was used as a military transport starting in 1940.
Few of the Savoia-Marchetti SM.78 reconnaissance flying boats were built but they were used in the 1930s by the Regia Marina.
Google has taken away my ability (not theirs of course) to make a few dollars from ads placed over my videos so I've decided to close my YouTube channel permanently and have removed links to those videos.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.75 was the first Marchetti design to have retractable landing gear.
Here's the listing of counters that come with Optional and Heretical and Off Board Artillery.
Here's the listing of counters that come with Partisan by Broken Ground Design.
Three of the large four engine Savoia-Marchetti SM.74 transports were used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica.
Originally used as civilian transports the Savoia-Marchetti SM.73s were taken over by the Italian military and used as transports.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.55 series of flying boats showed that Italy could design excellent aircraft in the 1930s. None were used in combat in World War II.
Here are the counters that come with Corregidor: the Rock.
Originally designed to be a civilian touring aircraft the S.A.I.M.A.N. 202 was used by the Italian military as a liaison aircraft.
The Reggiane Re.2005 was a high performance fighter that did very well against Allied aircraft, but it was only produced in small numbers before the surrender of Italy.
The Reggiane Re.2003 was to be a two seat reconnaissance bomber but only two prototypes were constructed.
