Lynn Garrison pilots a French-built F4U-7 Corsair in formation with three A-7A Corsair II jets, July 7, 1967. The image highlighted the transition from piston to jet power in carrier aviation. The A-7 was nicknamed the “SLUF” — Short Little Ugly Fella — but it became one of the Navy’s most reliable strike aircraft.

Reportedly the LOUDEST AIRCRAFT EVER: fitted with an Allison XT40-A-1 turboprop engine of 5,850 shaft horsepower. One of the fastest single-engine, propeller-driven aircraft ever built! The prop tips broke the sound barrier, emitting such a loud noise that it reportedly made nearby ground crews sick.

A U.S. Army Air Forces B-24 Liberator lifts off from Eniwetok Island, April 1944, while Navy Seabees spread coral to widen the airstrip. These forward bases gave Allied bombers reach deep into Japanese-held territory. The crushed coral runways of Pacific islands often turned to choking dust clouds under heavy bomber traffic, coating engines and equipment.

The F4U Corsair, a favorite of U.S. Marine aviators, saw hard combat in both WWII and Korea. Its distinctive gull wings and powerful engine made it one of the most feared carrier fighters of its era. Japanese pilots nicknamed the Corsair “Whistling Death” because of the unique sound it made in dives.

As Luftwaffe resistance weakened late in the war, P-38 Lightnings increasingly flew as high-altitude bombers. Missions were coordinated with a special “Droopsnoot” variant carrying a bombardier in a glass nose. The Droopsnoot could guide formations of up to 40 P-38s, turning the fighter into a precision bomber.

German troops captured this Soviet KV-2 heavy tank on the Eastern Front in WWII. Armed with a massive 152mm howitzer, it was one of the most powerful tanks of its time. The KV-2’s huge turret made it an easy target, and its extreme weight often caused breakdowns in the field.
