United States of America entered into the 20-ies of XX century, the only real winner. “The great war” is not only completely removed from the scene of one of main competitors — Germany, but much bled the other leading countries of Europe, formally including among the winners of the United States firmly occupied the place of “forge world” that had so long belonged to Britain. Now it was necessary to reinforce economic claims rising military power, especially in the sea. Here, however, things were not so rosy, the Americans have created a powerful battle fleet, laid an enormous series of destroyers — “flash-Decker”, but in the class of cruisers huge gaping gap. The only more or less contemporary were a dozen pieces of type “Omaha”, however, looked to be a drop in the vast sea of the British cruising force. They were approached to provide the linear action of the fleet, but gave in to old cruising tasks, such as the protection of their trade and a violation of the enemy. Seemed to catch up with the “mistress of the seas” in the game on their field in the coming two decades is not possible.

CRUISERS OF ITALY IN THE SECOND WORLD
By long tradition, the Italian cruisers, including heavy, have a sort of “whipping boys” in the field of shipbuilding. It’s hard to find a review or article 30-ies of the last century, dedicated to the naval fleets, in which “Italians” were not released would be another couple of dubious “compliments”. “Too easily built”, “cardboard”, “poorly protected”, “malovodie” finally just “unlucky”… meanwhile the engineers with the Peninsula created and built only two types of heavy cruisers, each of which deserves a few good words and in many ways superior to their rivals, contemporaries, at least, “on paper”.
THE GOAL IS THE PANAMA CANAL
Seaplane Aichi M6A Seiran. May 1945. Although Nazi Germany had already surrendered, but Japan is, however, provided the American army and Navy fierce resistance, both on land and at sea, thus causing their opponents a huge loss. Moreover, being in a critical situation, she not only conducted defensive operations, but were planning a counterattack on strategic targets on the American continent.

“PUMA” WHEELED
In the early 1980-ies of the IVECO group by order of the Italian army began construction of armored vehicle of a new family of wheeled APCS (4×4 and 6×6), received the official name of the Light Armoured Vehicle (AVL) 6634. The customer wanted to get some bigger machine and use it to solve a wider range of tasks together with fighters of tanks “centaur”.
THE LAST “CLASSIC” AZLK
The family car “MOSKVICH-2140”. The car “Moskvich” 2140 index was put into production in December 1975. Its direct predecessor is called the car “Moskvich-408”, descended from the conveyor of the Moscow plant of small cars (MZMA) in 1964, the exterior of which, so different from a car design index 400, 401, 402, 407 and 403, became the basis for all future models until 1986, when AZLK went from rear-wheel “classics” on the issue of front-wheel drive “Muscovites” index 2141.
“EAGLE” THE FIRST-BORN RUSSIAN FLEET
Will have to make a reservation at once — reliable information, which is not causing doubts and questions about the shape and design of the firstborn of the Russian Navy, very little. Therefore, we decided not to give ready answers to all the questions do not encourage readers to blindly take our word for it, but just described the situation for what it is known to us today. Model ship “eagle” had already been built, and authors hats off to the people who once took on a noble mission to show his contemporaries, looked like the legend embodied in the canvas, wood and metal. We also tried to make another small step in this direction and we hope that following us will be a bit easier. So, remember the “eagle” — it’s worth it…VOLKSWAGEN POLO
It just so happened that the global automotive industry, in practice, that any modernization of the car leads to growth of its technical characteristics, increasing the size, mass, engine power and maximum speed. As a result, for ten years, the once compact machine gradually moves from one size class to another.
“PETREL” — THE LAST HOPE OF THE LUFTWAFFE
The world’s first experimental jet aircraft is Not. 178 flew in Germany on 27 August 1939, Quite apart from him in “Gloucester” (UK) was established aircraft E28/39 with a turbojet engine (TRD), which took to the skies in may 1941, the Third aircraft with a gas turbine engine, patented F. Willem, soared in the United States. It happened October 2, 1942 the First combat aircraft with turbojet was Me.262, created under the leadership of V. Messerschmitt.
THE RESPONSE FROM CHAMBERLAIN
The first years after the conclusion of the London naval agreement of 1930, it caused a massive shift to the construction of light cruisers with 6-inch guns, were relatively quiet. The development of a new (or rather, a revival of the old) class was quite consistent and logical. Would the good old times when making each new project was justified primarily real needs of the fleet, but not artificial limits on the tonnage and caliber of the guns.
