	World War 2 1939-1945 - www.1939to1945.com
		The Versailles Treaty of June 1919 required from Germany the surrender of all her considerable residue of World War I aircraft and aero-engines, and expressly forbade her either to manufacture new military types or to subsidise the construction of aircraft of any kind.
		The first-line aircraft strength of the R.A.F. in 1933 – two years before the Luftwaffe was ‘formed’ – was 850 aircraft; a series of re-equipment plans aimed ultimately to increase this figure to 3,550, with nearly another 6,000 aircraft in reserve.
		The front-line aircraft in service at that time, although numerically greater than those ranged against them by the Luftwaffe, were inferior technically, and this, coupled with the element of surprise in the German attack, led to their initial defeat by the enemy.

	The U.S. Aircraft Industry During World War I
		Dayton-Wright produced the British DH-4 under license during World War I. The Model 4B-5 was nicknamed the Honeymoon Express because of its cozy cabin for two.
		The United States did not produce any aircraft of its own design for use at the front during World War I. Nevertheless, the war served as an impetus for the infant industry and gave several aircraft companies their start.
		And in spite of their best efforts, compared to the total number of aircraft used in the war, the number of DH-4s produced in the United States and shipped to Europe was small.

		For most of World War I, Allied and German Forces were stalled in trench warfare along the Western Front.
		At the outbreak of the First World War, the German army executed a modified version of the Schlieffen Plan, designed to quickly attack France through Belgium before turning southwards to encircle the French army on the German border.
		The war in the trenches left a generation of maimed soldiers and war widows.

	World War Two Aircraft
		The Navy's Fighting Squadrons in World War Two changed frequently, and have always confused me. Based on Barrett Tillman's excellent book, I have prepared this summary table for them, showing deployments, CO, top ace, carrier, and number of aces.
		This book covers in detail the eleven U.S. fighter aircraft types produced just before and during World War II - with a combined production total of just over 100,000 aircraft.
		This study concludes with comparisons of the eleven types in terms of program milestones, aircraft drag, power available at various altitudes, speed, climb, rolling and turning, acceleration, and diving performance, as well as general evaluations by World War II pilots.

		From the moment World War II began--with the German invasion of Poland--to its end in 1945 with the American bombings of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, it was clear that aircraft would play a crucial tactical role.
		While it does have information on many of the key players of the air war and even some of the sideliners, the information it has is often incorrect even to the point of contradicting itself on the same page.
		It does mention some of the minor players in the war which is great, and the book is small enough to bring with you.

		During World War I, some aircraft manufacturers turned to this configuration in an effort to gain extra maneuverability for fighter aircraft, at a penalty of greater drag and therefore lower speed.
		Sopwith Triplane was the first triplane to see service during World War I, but by far, the best-known example of a triplane is the Fokker Dr.I, immortalised as the aircraft most closely identified with Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron".
		Recently, the term "tandem triplane" has been used for recent jet fighter aircraft that have canards in addition to normal flying surfaces (main wings and horizontal tailplanes) for increased manouverablility and/or increased lift for short takeoffs or landings.

	WORLD WAR I ERA AIRCRAFT MODELS (1914 - 1918)
		The aircraft models are made entirely by hand: From the handcarving of the fuselage, wings and tail section, to the sanding of the aircraft's contours.
		After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors, emblems, and insignias of the original historical aircraft.
		Finally, multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall glossy finish.
