During 1942 the Luftwaffe was tasked to find ways to halt the increasing tank threat on the Eastern Front. One such experiment ended in the Junkers Ju 88 receiving a Pak 40 75mm (7.5cm) anti-tank gun. It caused lots of damage but only to one side.

The Fiat G.91 is a hidden gem of the early Cold War period but its story, inspired through a quite rational NATO standardization program, is one of delays, compromises and ultimately falling far short of the initial exceptions. Shame really, it was a good plane.

Strategic bombing to win a war doesn’t work, we’ve figured this out after about 50years of trying to make it work. Whether the United States Air Force (USAF), the Royal Air Force (RAF) or many other Air Forces, strategic bombing was advertised as a war winning mission. However, behind this mission there was the desire to establish independence from the Army and Navy and decision-makers often interpreted reality to suit their needs. Join Chris as he dives deep into a story about independence, perceptions and technical and tactical innovation in air force history.
