The 6th Bomber Wing of the Luftwaffe remains a unit still relatively little known, owing to its comparatively brief existence. It was indeed formed with great difficulty following an order of October 1941, having been conceived to support KG 2 in its sporadic harassment operations against Great Britain. Its build-up was slow and laborious due to a lack of...

A German engineer, Hugo Junkers was the pioneer of all-metal aircraft construction and, from 1914 onwards, developed several models dedicated to air transport. As the culmination of this line of aircraft, the prototype of the Junkers 52, designed in 1930 at the request of the national carrier Lufthansa, was initially a single-engine aircraft; the Ju 52,...

In the first volume of this work, our study covered the genesis of the French armoured fleet in the period between the war of 1870 and the Fashoda Crisis on the one hand, and on the other the history of the first three battleships of this so-called "sample" fleet: the Brennus, Carnot and Charles Martel. With this second volume, we study the last three...

Since 1912, aircraft carriers have been in service with the French Navy. The seaplane tenders of the First World War were followed in 1928 by the first aircraft carrier, le Béarn. Obsolete, she was not committed to combat during the Second World War, but the personnel she had trained enabled the reconstitution in 1945 of an embarked aviation arm that...

Although the Vampire was designed and used as a fighter by the Armée de l'Air, this role was not to remain its exclusive domain for long. The arrival of American aircraft under the MDAP framework, and the progressive development of Marcel Dassault's fighters, overshadowed it — not least because they were more modern and simply better. A use had...

Yet the Russian Imperial Navy was an exceptional force, torn as it was between three principal theatres: the Baltic, the Pacific and the Black Sea, of which only the first two could be linked (at great difficulty), the Black Sea remaining...
