In 1933 A. N. Tupolev proposed to make the Soviet analogue of “Martin”. He undertook this task, but decided it differently. His ANT-40 in no way resembled an American bomber. For maximum speed the fuselage is very compressed, completely abandoned corrugated cladding and outer charms of bombs.

BRM “LUX” WITH TWO DRIVERS
In the encyclopedic reference book “Tanks” Hagle, published in 1935, stated that “with the installation of the dual control of the military value of the vehicles… can be enhanced as they are able to reverse it, and no u-turns”. In the early years of construction of armored vehicles were produced armored cars with two drivers occupying the front and rear control stations. An example is the armored AMD White (“white”), adopted at the armament of the French army in August, 1917, or Landsverk-185 (“the land sverk-185”), produced in Sweden in 1933 and Later, in 1951, again, the French have created even armor tank destroyer Panhard EBR75 (Panar) with 75-mm cannon, which also had dual controls.
I-17
In 1933, after the purchase by the Soviet Union license on 760 HP engine “Islamo-Suiza” 12ybrs. N. N Polikarpov again returned to the idea of creating a fighter with a liquid-cooled engine. The planned armament of two synchronised ShKAS machine guns and two promising guns ShVAK (nonsynchronous) caliber 20 mm. To achieve high speed, the fuselage is compressed to the limit, causing the cockpit was very cramped. Flight tests of the first instance And-17 began in the fall of 1934, but due to the identified deficiencies was short-lived.
BARKAS UNDER THE “WHITE SUN”
The film “White sun of the desert” became a significant phenomenon in the life of our country — its popularity can be judged by how many sayings and winged expressions added to the lexicon of the Soviet people. Viewers memorable movie characters, ably played by P. Luspekaev, A. Kuznetsov, S. Mishulin, and other beautiful actors. It is worth noting that in this film in addition to animated wonderful actors played their roles and inanimate actors – one of them appeared in the film in the most dramatic of its time.UNDERWATER SHIPS AGAINST SUBMARINE SHIPS
In No. 12 last year, is dedicated to the development of the underwater of the pioneers in France, we elaborated on the competitive product engineer Mogh “pure” submarine “Z”. Although she completely lost comparative tests of the “dive” from Lobata, however, the Commission did not recognize the idea of traditional French submarine, conducting most of the time under the surface of the water, completely “buried.” And as a result of persistent Moga reward for persistence has received an order for a series of 6 units are named after precious stones.
THE DIRECT HEIRS OF THE NAMED
The Germans switched to the onboard booking their light cruisers almost simultaneously with the future enemy — the British. A long series of German pronaplucan ended in 1910, when the stocks of Bremen, štětina and Wilhelmshaven laid four essentially new ships. Although they still wore the names of German cities and had only 300 — 400 tons greater displacement than the previous “Kolberg”, the differences between new and old “statov” were much more than similarities.
BRISTOL “BLENHEIM”
SB was briefly the fastest bomber in the world. In June 1936 in the UK launched the “Blenheim” at about 30 km/h. This aircraft was created initially as a high-speed passenger type “142”, which had the engines “mercury”. But under the influence of his high flight data military was required to remake the car into a bomber. Prototype combat “type 142M” building did not immediately proceed to the serial production. BETWEEN “VICTORY” AND ZIS
Sixty-nine years ago, the Gorky automobile plant received the assignment to develop a new six-passenger model. She had to fill the gap between mass four-cylinder “Victory” and representative ZIS-110. He had planned to deliver a boosted six-cylinder engine GAZ-11. Its standard version has already been used on the truck GAZ-51. Designing and preparing to manufacture a new car, which subsequently received index GAZ-12 ZIM, conducted in a very short time. Just five years later, in late 1950, began serial production.MARTIN B-10/B-12
In the early 1930s in the US, the bombers appeared a new generation of high – speed twin-engined all-metal cantilever monoplanes with retractable landing gear. At the rate they are ahead of the then fighters-biplanes. The most successful was Martin 139.CROSSOVER-CLASS GOLF
The Dodge Caliber hatchback size class C. the Older generation were very familiar brand these military vehicles, which, along with lend-lease “Studebakers” and “jeep” roads have been worthy of the great Patriotic war, ending his difficult path in Berlin. We are talking about cars of the American company Dodge, the most prominent representative of which in our country was the famous Dodge 3/4 four wheel drive jeep, overgrown terrain, the capacity of which amounted to 0.75 tons.
