Not to say that after the First world war, the British did not think about the problems of a future war, but their reasonable ideas are embodied in a metal surprisingly slowly. For example, the Admiralty issued an order for a new patrol and guards of the court only after their predecessors came almost to a complete standstill, having exhausted their resources. As a result, by the time of Hitler’s attack on Poland “mistress of the seas” had only six small patrol ships of the “Kingfisher”, and three were in the same building.
FRIGATES AND CORVETTES
Fighter FIAT CR-32. The plane, which will be discussed, for the five years preceding the Second world war, was a symbol of Italian fighter aircraft. Small, nimble, he observed the conflicts that arose in South America, in China, in Africa, in the middle East. And in Europe is also not without “Italian fighter”—so in most cases called FIAT CR-32 in various countries around the world.
August 11, 1933, adopted the worker-Peasant red Army adopted a new medium tank T-28. Production began at the Leningrad plant “Red Putilovets”, one of the oldest and most experienced companies in the production of artillery, tractors, locomotives.
Long-range bomber Tu-16. Large-scale development of high-speed jet bombers, long-range flight, which began in the USA after the Second world war, could not remain unnoticed in the Soviet Union. A year after the publication of American requirements for such aircraft (in late 1946) to the design Bureau of A. N. Tupolev, Ilyushin and Sukhoi began the design of machines with the same parameters.
The first time I saw “Polonaise” in the picture. He was standing on one of the Central squares of Warsaw, surrounded by a dense ring of spectators. Interest in the yacht and its captain, engineer and journalist Krzysztof Baranovsky was extremely well-deserved. The first among the poles and the thirteenth in the world, he skirted “an old cannibal” — Cape horn — solo.
By the end of the First world war the British Navy had a fair amount of patrol type “flower”, but at the end of the 1920-ies it became clear that these hastily built ships will be developed very quickly. Therefore, the renewal of the composition of forces escort and protection, the British started ahead of time.
The basis of the most famous British car company Jaguar Cars was firm SS Car Company, which in 1945 had to change its name — becauseone SS at that time, no one called benevolent associations.
Carrier-based fighter Grumman F3F of the company. In the early 30-ies of the American company Grumman was the undisputed leader in the production of fighter biplanes for carrier-based aircraft. The reason for this was the desire of the designers of this company to apply on their aircrafts with the latest technical achievements. The firm’s assets — development of the original scheme of the landing gear, enclosed cockpit and all-metal fuselage-monocoque with a smooth lining.
Japanese aircraft and engine firm Kawanishi Kokuki KK was founded in 1928 and produced mainly military aircraft, which later was widely used in world war II — four-engine reconnaissance flying boats Н6К and Н8К, as well as a fighter N1K1 float and ground N1K1-JSIDEN (purple lightning).
The hardest for Russia the First world war, followed by even more destructive for the country’s civil war, rejected the Navy powers for many years. The winning “red” had to use the pieces of the former “Imperial” power. This was the case with the submarines. In the 1920-ies in the system was gradually introduced surviving pre-war units, and not always the best. Rather, the best preserved, which can be put into service without a Herculean effort and cost. As for the future, the legacy remained a motley bunch of projects for the development of domestic “leopards” overseas “Holland” and “products” of the Italian Laurent, who were in very different stages of development. An important problem was that the cut for several years by the global military-technical thought Soviet Russia could not make good use of the experience gained in the development and operation of submarines in other countries during world war II.
