I aquired this 1987 CCCP book online. It's a little floppy paper book a good 100 or so pages long. The fabrication of the book is quite simple, no glossy pages, thin paper.

It is mostly about the usual stuff. T-26s, T-34s, the same stu...

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.

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...

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.)

Hello Every One
Does any one have this new A7V book (Sturmpanzerwagen A7V by Heinrich Walle), or has any one seen it??.It seems expensive. 48? that?s over $100 in the U.S. How does it comparer to the Holy Grail of the A7V (The German A7V Tank and the Captured British Mark IV of World War 1 B...
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...
Hello guys I have ran across two equally great sites, the First is Le Guerre des Gaz (The War of Gases?) which deals with any thing you would like to know about Gas Warfare during the First World War. 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...
I spotted this site - take a look

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.

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...
