Flying boat Fairchild F-91. This small flying boat designed in 1934 by the American firm Fairchild, was calculated for mass production, but, despite its excellent flight characteristics, she never went into big series. The firm has managed to produce only seven units of the machine. However, the fate of these seaplanes were interesting enough. They had a chance not only to visit most of the continents of the globe, but also to participate in hostilities and, in particular, in the civil war in Spain.

Carrier-based fighter Grumman FF-1. Aircraft manufacturing firm Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation began work with the U.S. Navy in the late 1920-ies First, she collected the floats for seaplanes, and then began to build airplanes in their own projects, trying to use in their designs the most modern technology the First two seaplane G-1 and G-2, the proposed military was intended to perform reconnaissance tasks of the Machine all-metal construction was fitted with a retractable landing gear with a very original mechanism of their release, interested experts from the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy (BuAer): they rightly felt it necessary to use it on combat aircraft to reduce drag and increase speed flight, Especially needed in this chassis carrier-based fighter.
During the Second world war in the West, fighters, modified to destroy ground targets, became known as fighter-bombers. After the war they were further developed. This contributed to a widespread adoption of leading aviation powers on a much more expensive jet technology, the emergence of tactical nuclear weapons and the reduction of the fleet of combat aircraft. For nuclear strikes from low altitudes in fighter-bombers practiced bombing kupirovaniya, and cars equipped with special sights In this period, the fighter-bombers became the basis of tactical aircraft of NATO countries.
Hardly anyone would dispute that the twentieth century was for the engineers of gold in the literal and figurative sense. Discoveries and inventions made in those years will be used more by many generations of earthlings, and some of them will be further developed.
We left Britain in the midst of the “great war” as it was called by the British the First world war. Pretty pinched with German “u-bots” merchant fleet. But with huge military, which now has quite a prominent role began to play and the submarine. And the variety: the richest Empire could afford to actively experiment with a new kind of naval forces, which has gradually become almost a favorite.
CHEVROLET SPARK is the compact car class A. And exhibitions, and the streets are compact cars always become the object of attention. At the international auto none full-size luxury car does not attract as much public, how many small, almost like a toy car. In our country this car is a Korean car DAEWOO MATIZ, the bulk of which in Russia started mainly after running it in series at the factory Uz-DAEWOO Auto in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Shortly after the outbreak of the Second world war, the Germans faced a serious crisis in the anti-tank artillery. Their primary 37-mm gun Cancer 35/36 was completely powerless against the well armoured French tanks. Adopted after it adopted a 50-mm Cancer 38 also has not solved the problem. In France, she did not, as the first 17 guns to the Wehrmacht was only in July 1940, and the test of battle she had already take place on the Eastern front. The result was disastrous to penetrate the armor of T-34 and KV she could only close range. More or less this task was done only for 75-mm gun Pak 40 that began to enter the army in February 1942 and became the most massive German anti-tank gun of the Second world war.
Moscow car factory ZIS your Executive cars started to produce in 1936. The first such car was the limousine ZIS-101 created by the design team under the direction of E. Vazhinsky “explanation” for American car BUICK EIGHT 90. The limousine was equipped with row “eight” working volume of 5.77 liters and output of 90 HP transmission was transcutanat the car’s top speed was 115 km/h. ZIS-101 was produced until 1941, all were made 8752 instance.
The war for the independence of the United States have clearly shown that it is essential the people of the state of their own Navy. The American revolution pushed many outstanding personalities, including such outstanding military leaders as Admiral John Paul Jones. Especially remarkable was the victory in a single battle between his flagship, the “Bonhomme Richard” and the British frigate “Serapis” on 23 September 1779, which ended in favour of the former colonists. However, such bright scenes could not hide the picture of complete domination of the powerful British Navy. The British almost completely suppressed trade and freely maneuvered his troops and transport them along the coast. In fact, only the intervention of France in the war at sea tipped the scales in favor of the “rebels”.
From the point of view of war at sea the eighteenth century has largely been a century frigates. For over a hundred years three major powers of Europe were engaged in a military struggle, often in the most remote corners of the globe. The war of the Austrian succession, Seven years war, the war for independence of the North American States, finally, the Napoleonic wars… At every opportunity, England, France and Spain entered the confrontation, hoping the campaign to acquire overseas possessions of the enemy. Of course, when military action occurred over many thousands of miles from Europe, the importance of acquired fleet. And not only ships of the line, formed the basis of combat squadrons, but also smaller vessels — frigates and corvettes capable of a cruising operation as the composition of the group, and alone.
