European Air War - The Gen

Sorry Ed, accidentally knocked out a bit of your text when editing the post. Re ships etc. I'm sure you and Ray are right. Marginal differences between basic appearance of WW1 and WW2 ships etc. It doesn't matter. Minor differences in the material's echoes, low speed, and the lack of protection to ...

Ed - saw the pictures of these forts, and also wondered if we could set up something like that. Verdun being good example. I have no idea, but we can do what we did with the zeppelin hangar, or something similar; we can buy the skins or make them and stick them directly onto the structure like Rott...

United Kingdom HMS Furious HMS Argus HMS Campania HMS Engadine HMS Ben-my-Chree HMS Vindex HMS Nairana Germany SMS Ausonia (not completed as an aircraft carrier) Italy Italian seaplane carrier E...

I know it's a lot, but I've seen the objectives and an interesting one came to mind: to protect or destroy them, depending on which side you choose. It would be forts like Vaux and Douaumont. Fort de Douaumont was the largest, strongest, and most modern fort in the ring of defenses protecting Verdun...

I'm so sorry I forgot to mention this. During the first two years of aerial warfare, especially in conflicts like World War II, heavy machine guns were mainly used as defense against low-flying enemy aircraft. These weapons, usually between 12.7 mm and 20 mm in caliber, were mounted on fixed positio...

It's the best I could find, and I've also included a short description to help guide you Zeppelin hangars were constructed with a large internal structure made up of heavy wooden or steel beams and trusses, reinforced with diagonal braces to withstand wind and support the huge arched roof; the exter...

Antiaircraft Weapons At the beginning of World War I, antiaircraft (AA) weapons were scarce because aircraft were few and mainly used for reconnaissance; France had a few armored cars with 75 mm guns, Britain had some motorized 3-inch guns, and Germany was the most advanced with several 77 mm guns....

True, sometimes I don't remember. I also remember that the Royal Flying Corps operated seaplanes like the Short Type 184 during the Gallipoli invasion.
