Landships II

So what do you say? How do you like the changes? Which one of all of us will rise through the ranks faster

Now we are all Privates, but you could end up a Field Marshal

All the best

Here is a shot of two Ford machine gun platforms, U.S. army, c. 1916. The shot is from a "Kavanaugh war postal" titled 'Fords at the front'. By 'front', though, they mean MEXICO. (Sorry. I guess that would be the far left flank of the Western Front.) Anyway, have a look. [url]http://www.hunte...

Hi there, was just wondering if anyone had any photos etc of the Ford Model T in WW1, apart from the ambulance version. To be exact i'm looking for photos of the truck version, also known as the Ford Model T truck or Ford Model TT, introduced in 1917. I've read about large quantities of these used by...

I wonder if there is anything that can be done about this... In a lot of forums, new posts will be placed at the top of the page. Posts that have been inactive, progress lower in the list. In this way, a post that has long since been inactive, might get another post, and then will appear at the top of...

After some friendly suggestion have been made here, regadring possible improvements of the Forum, I will now try and change some things. I will try to enable VOLUNTARY registration and log-in, and some other such stuff. (That will also give us Avatars, I think - if you know what that is.) If the Foru...

As we all know, Spain first aquired Schneider CA-1s, and FT-17s, and various armored cars for their military. It wasn't until around 1926 that they decided to try and make their own tank. They sought to improve the existing FT-17 tank. 6 "Trubia" tanks were produced, and 3 saw fighting in the Spanish c...

Hello! I'm planning to build a diorama which shows the manufacturing of Mark IV tanks in 1/35 scale. I have got several photographs from the Bovington Tank Museum Collection and from books. Now I face different problems. Perhaps someone can help? What colour did the steel plates during the manu...

And the second one is Les mitrailleuses du premier conflit mondial (Machine-guns of the First World War)...

This cannon was purchased during WW1 by France and likely Russia. The French bought them because they were more powerful than the 1916 Trench Gun for possible anti tank needs etc., during 1917 and perhaps 1918. Can any one supply an image of this gun in French service ? I can supply an image of this gun on...

Hello Guys I just found some awesome new Marienwagenhttps://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c363/rigsby101/6a_1_bb.jpg

I knew that there some people taking colour in WW1 and I've an Australian book with a few shots of No 1 Sqdn AFC in the Middle East 1918 taken by Kingsford Smith but these are Fren...

Carrying on with Henrik D's question: As built, British tanks would have been issued with a 3 (then 4) digit War Department census number, so Flirt II would have started life as '2179'. After the end of WW1 the system changed and numbers had a T prefix, so Flirt II became T179. This was the numbe...

Hello, I've recently bought Emhars Mk.IV female and were planning on building one of the two British tanks, however there is no historical information on the markings provided. Does anybody know what subjects the markings are supposed to represent? Thanks in advance / Henrik ...

Hello Guys This is a correction to the Cadillac article. Ben Man has brought this to my attention. He was going to get a friend of his to take some pictures of the Cadillac Armoured Car, and he found this out. {"Thank you for contacting the Museum of Science and Industr...

I don't know if this counts as army, navy or airforce. In 1917 the no 1 squadron Australian Flying Corps took the fuselage of a Martinsyde 101 'Elephant' long range fighter/bomber and mounted it on some fort of raft or float (a bit like those things used in the Florida Everglades I suspect) and used it to...

I have been meaning to get "Tanks and other Armored Fighting Vehicles 1900-1918" by B.T. White for a long time. However, every time I found it, it was very expensive. I recently aquired a comparitively cheap copy of it, and I am very impressed by it! While by no means complete in the Tank section, it...
