Type: Fighter
Crew: 1
Powerplant: Allison V-1710
Armament:
-4x Browning M2 .50 HMGs
-1x Hispano Mk. II 20mm autocannon
-Various rocket and bomb loadouts
Top speed: 414 mph(666 kph); The twin-booned and twin-engined P38 Lightning, developed by Lockheed Corporation and introduced in 1941, was a highly versatile and effective design. It was used extensively in both the PTO and ETO, employed not only as a fighter but also as a reconnaissance aircraft, fighter-bomber, bomber escort, and pathfinder. It was the first warplane to exceed a speed of 400 mph. | image tagged in wwii,history,fighter,plane,military,aviation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WWII AIRCRAFT OF THE WEEK: VOUGHT F4U CORSAIR; Country of origin: USA
Type: fighter(carrier-based)
Crew: 1
Powerplant: Pratt & Whitney R-2800
Armament:
-Guns: 6x Browning M2 .50 HMGs
-8x HVARs, or
-4,000 lbs.(1,800 kg) worth of bombs; THE CORSAIR WOULD COME TO GAIN A SOLID REPUTATION DURING WWII, LATER GOING ON TO SERVE IN THE KOREAN WAR. IT WAS INTRODUCED IN JULY OF 1942, WHEN THE US NAVY WAS EAGER TO SUPPLEMENT THE F6F HELLCAT, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL DECEMBER THAT THE VISIBILITY AND HANDLING ISSUES WERE RESOLVED AND THE CORSAIR WAS ADOPTED. IT FOUND A NICHE WITH THE US MARINES, PRIMARILY USED AS A BOMBER ESCORT AND FIGHTER-BOMBER TO REPLACE THE F4F WILDCAT. JAPANESE PILOTS QUICKLY CAME TO RESPECT THE CORSAIR AND ITS 11:1 KILL RATIO. | image tagged in wwii,history,aviation,fighter,plane,military | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WWII AIRCRAFT OF THE WEEK: HAWKER HURRICANE; Country of origin: UK
Type: fighter
Crew: 1
Powerplant: Rolls-Royce Merlin XX
Armament(MK.IIC):
-Autocannons: 4x 20mm Hispano Mk. II
-Bombs: Max. 2x 500 lbs.(230 kg); WHEN IT COMES TO WWII BRITISH FIGHTER PLANES THE SPITFIRE GETS ALL THE GLORY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE HAWKER HURRICANE INFLICTED 60% OF ALL LUFTWAFFE LOSSES DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN AND FOUGHT IN ALL MAJOR THEATERS OF THE WAR. THE HURRICANE WAS INTRODUCED IN 1937, AND WAS PRODUCED FROM THAT YEAR UNTIL 1944. IT'S OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE: THIS PLANE RODE OUT THE STORM AND DID A FINE JOB OF IT. | image tagged in wwii,history,aviation,fighter,plane,military | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

WWII Aircraft of the Week: Focke-Wulf Fw 190

WWII Aircraft of the Week: Focke-Wulf Fw 190 | WWII AIRCRAFT OF THE WEEK: FW-190; Country of Origin: Nazi Germany
Type: Fighter
Crew: 1
Powerplant: BMW 801 radial engine
Armament:
-Guns: 2x MG-131 13mm
-Autocannon: 4x MG-151/20 20mm
-Bombs: 1x 250 lb.
Top Speed: 405 mph(652 kph); UPON ITS INTRODUCTION IN 1941, THE FW-190 WOULD JOIN THE BF-109 AS THE BACKBONE OF THE LUFTWAFFE'S FIGHTER FORCE(JAGDWAFFE). ITS BMW 801 ENGINE ALLOWED IT TO CARRY HEAVIER LOADS THAN THE BF-109, ENABLING ITS USE AS A FIGHTER-BOMBER AND GROUND-ATTACK AIRCRAFT. IT WAS SUPERIOR IN MOST ASPECTS TO ANY ALLIED FIGHTER UNTIL THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SPITFIRE MK. IX IN 1942. THE FW-190'S PERFORMANCE SUFFERED AT HIGHER ALTITUDES, BUT OVERALL IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTER PLANES OF WWII. | image tagged in wwii,history,fighter plane,aviation,military | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Repost lol. Nazi Germany reminds us that some countries (and leaders) will take all they can until and unless opposed.
