WW2 Aircraft Encyclopedia
$1.99
World War II Military Aircraft is a mini encyclopedia of the most important and influential aircraft that were used during the Second World War.
This pocket compendium app contains 240 aircraft and lets you explore:
- the evolution of aircraft design, from the post-WWI Po-2 and R-5 biplanes to the Meteor jet fighter,
- the advancements in combat aircraft (from the CR.32 to the Ta 152), heavy interceptors (like the Do 335 Pfeil and the P-38 Lightning) and night fighters (including the P-61 Black Widow and the Defiant),
- the development of the bomber, from the Blenheim light bomber and B-10 medium bomber to the Lincoln heavy bomber and the jet-powered Ar 234 Blitz,
- the creation of specialized ground-attack aircraft (Il-2 Sturmovik and Hs 129), dive bombers (Ju 87 Stuka, SBD Dauntless and D3A), torpedo bombers (from the Swordfish to the Albacore), reconnaissance aircraft (like the Fw 189 or Ki-46), liaison aircraft (Lysander and Bf 108 Taifun) and trainer aircraft (T-6 Texan or Tiger Moth),
- the rapid growth in size and capability of the flying boat (from the interwar MBR-2 to the famous PBY Catalina and ending with the gigantic BV 238),
- the birth of the military helicopter (in the form of the Fl 282 Kolibri and Fa 223) and
- the replacement of civilian service transport aircraft with purpose-built military troop and cargo airplanes (including the C-47 Skytrain, Ju 52, SM.82 Canguro or Me 323 Gigant) and gliders (like the DFS 230 or the Horsa).
Each aircraft entry contains at least one archive image, a short text that summarises the aircraft's development and service history and a detailed specifications table offering place of origin and production information, crew, weight and dimensions data, armament details, powerplant and performance figures.
