Commonly known as the 'Gustav' because of the G suffix in its name, The Messerschmitt Bf 109G began rolling off assembly lines in February 1942 and remained in production until the end of World War II. The Bf 109G was mainly distinguished from its predecessor by the fact that it incorporated the Daimler Benz DB 605 A engine, a powerplant with a take off rating of 1,475 h.p. - 125 h.p. more than the DB 601E engine in the Bf 109F-4. Production of the Bf 109G was also undertaken by Germany's Allies, including Romania and Hungary. No reliable manufacturing statistics survive but it is estimated that a massive 23,000 Gustavs were built by the end of the war.

OV-1 Mohawk All Color Walk Around. The Grumman OV-1 Mohawk was the first turboprop aircraft to enter into US Army service to fill the role of visual, photo and electronic reconnaissance. It was very unique in its design, and it never received the recognition for its accomplishments in over 40 years of service. Originally planned for both the Army and the Marines, the OV-1was used just by the Army, though NASA had a test aircraft for testing jet engine noise. Civilian users included the US Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Service and US Customs, which used the Mohawk to track drug traffic.

The E-2 Hawkeye is the first U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft designed specifically to fill the all-weather airborne early warning mission. The E-2 is a twin-engine aircraft with antennae contained inside a 24-foot rotating dorsal dome. E-2Cs provided surveillance support during joint strike attacks against targets in Libya in 1986, and during Operation Desert Storm, the aircraft provided command and control support for carrier-based fighter aircraft. The Hawkeye provided similar support during the recent conflicts in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Considered the German Army s most important armored half-track in WWII, the Sd.Kfz.251 allowed the infantry to keep up with the Heer's fast armored elements. The vehicle came in 4 models and 23 variants, but the Ausf.D was the most produced model. In fact, Ausf.Ds represented nearly 70 percent of Sd.Kfz.251s built during wartime. The type's simplified design was the main contributor to this variant being produced in such substantial numbers, and the Ausf.D was the first of the 251s to have stowage bins built into the sides of the half track.
