It was in 1934 that the German Army ordered Rheinmettal A G to develop

a new 3.7cm anti-tank gun. Rheinmettal ranked beside Krupp as the

biggest gun maker in Germany and already manufactured the first 3.7cm

anti-tank rapid firer in 1918. In 1935, Rheinmettal finished designing

the new anti-tank gun. The overall weight was 450kg. Having two

rubber-tired wheels, torsion bar suspension system and two rear trail

legs, the gun could be easily moved by only a few men. A gun shield of

4mm thickness was fixed for the protection of the gun crew. The gunner

was on the left side of the gun and could traverse it by 60 degrees

both ways, elevate by 25 degrees and depress by 8 degrees. The loader

was on the right side of the horizontal sliding breech block and the

gun could make continuous fire at a rate of 15 rounds per minute. The

3.7cm gun which was 45 calibres long had a muzzle velocity of 762

meters per second (when firing an armour-piercing projectile) and

penetrated a 48mm armour plate standing erect at a distance of 457

meters. The 3.7cm anti-tank gun was immediately accepted by the German

Army and officially designated Anti-tank Gun Model 35/36 (PAK 35/36).

In 1936, the Germans began to deliver the gun to the anti-tank gun

company of each division as its standard equipment. It is reported that

the excellent design of the then typical anti-tank gun exerted a great

influence on the progress of anti-tank guns in the Soviet Union, United

States, and Japan.

The Mc Donnel Douglas F-15 is an all-weather single seat American fighter, developed with the specific goal to gain and maintain air superiority. The F-15 Eagle has been designed during the ‘70s to provide to U.S. Air Force a modern and extremely high performance advanced fighter. The F-15C is representing the more modern version and it is nowadays largely used by U.S. Air Force, U.S. National Guard, and by the Air Forces of several Countries as Japan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 took part to the Gulf War in 1991 and it was able to guarantee the air superiority to Coalition Forces. It has been the most effective fighters with an impressive high number of enemy planes shot down. Armed with a 20mm. M61 gun it can use a wide variety of air-to-air missiles. Thanks to the two powerful Pratt & Whitney F-100 after-burring turbofans engines, the “Eagle” is able to reach the maximum speed of Mach 2.5.

Tu-134UBL is a training airplane developed by the Tupolev design office in the early 1980s, based on the successful Tu-134 passenger liner with twin engines in the rear. Unlike the standard plane, the Tu-154 UBL had a special nose and radome designed to simulate the supersonic Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 bombers. This aircraft has the task to train bomber pilots to navigate, land and fly on sensor readings in simple and complicated weather conditions. Simultaneously, the Tu-134UBL provides instruction and training for up to 12 cadets located in the cabin in 3 rows. A total of 90 units were built.

The Super Hornet is a re-designed version of the actual service Hornet wich will succeed it within a few years, because the planned A-12 attack fighter has been cancelled for economical reasons. The Super Hornet is being designed with a whole series of new technologies by using new component materials and an improved aerodynamic shape. Thanks to partially hidden air-intakes certain stealth features against radar have been obtained.

This is a cross-section of the popular San Francisco II. The model depicts a small section of the ships decks complete with hull detail and one mast.

This small and easy-to-handle helicopter, developed in the sixties,

proved to be a big technical and commercial success. Its reliability

and performance make it a valuable aircraft for civilian and military

operators of at least fifty different nations. This particular version

derives from the model 530 Defender and is in service with the U.S.

Army Special Forces which use it for reconnaissance and night

surveillance thanks to an infra-red night vision system, which together

with the helicopter’s low noise level make it a perfect and silent

“Night Fox”.

The Land Rover was certainly one of the most famous symbols of "Made in England" automobile production and is a real milestone in the history of off-road vehicles. It was born immediately after the war, with the first prototypes realized on 1947. It has been characterized by the 4x4 traction system and by a robust and reliable design able to tackle the most difficult and challenging trails. The aluminum body provide lightness but, at the same time, more resistance against corrosions and more durable in time. In 1971, when the III Series was introduced, more than 1,000,000 of Land Rovers has been produced. Available in two versions: the "standard " one and the "long wheel base". Thanks to its extraordinary versatility was used in both military and civilian duties, and was also produced under license by the Spanish Motor Company Santana during the 70s.

The Short Sunderland was one of the most famous seaplanes of World War II. It’s came into service at the end of 1938 to equip the Royal Air Force squadrons of Coastal Command. The Sunderland Mark III, introduced on the end of 1941, turned out to be the definitive Sunderland variant, with a huge number of units built. The Mk. III can be considered one of the most effective and successful weapons to counter the German U-Boots threat during the Battle of Atlantic. The flying boat patrol bomber Sunderland Mk III has been decisively improved, compared to the previous versions, with a revised hull configuration and the adoption of new patrol and submarines search equipment. Even the offensive load, which could included bombs, mines and depth charges, has been increased .The reliable 1,065 Hp Bristol Pegasus radial engines guaranteed a top speed of 336 Km/h and a range, essential feature to perform successfully sea patrol and research duties, of 2,800 km.
