Vimy, Vickers
Vimy, Vickers British heavy night bomber. Three prototypes of a new long-range bomber were ordered from Vickers in August 1917. and the first of these, designated F.B.27 (later Vimy Mk I), flew at the end of the following November. A three-seat biplane with a large biplane tail and powered by two 200-hp Hispano-Suiza engines mounted midway between the wings, the first prototype was armed with single Lewis machine-guns on Scarff ring mountings in nose and dorsal cockpits. The second prototype substituted 260-hp Sunbeam Maori engines and added a ventral machine-gun. while the third (Vimy Mk III), with 260-hp Fiat A. 12 engines, was ordered into production in March 1918. Meanwhile a fourth prototype (Mk IV) was produced with 360-hp Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engines, and this powerplant was used by the majority of production aircraft. Although an eventual total of over 200 Vimys were produced, by Vickers. Westland. Morgan and the Royal Aircraft Factory, only three had been delivered before the Armistice, and only one had reached the Independent Force in France, arriving too late to see operational service. However, the Mk IV combined the useful bombload of 1976 kg (4356 lb), carried internally and under the wings and fuselage, with an endurance of 1 hours (with a lighter load), and from July 1919 the Vimy served with several RAF units until replaced by the Virginia in 1924. After its withdrawal from front-line service the Vimy remained in service for a number of years for training, some being used as parachute trainers with Bristol Jupiter or Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar radials. while a few survived as searchlight targets as late as 1938. Developments included a civil passenger version and 60 Vernon troop trans-

The Vildebeest's armament

Modifications included a long-range fuel tank mounted below the fuselage in place of the torpedo, which gave the Vincent an increased range of 20 10 km (1 250 miles), racks for light bombs up to a total of 454 kg KMX) lb) under the lower wings and a message pick-up hook.

carrier-based scout and dive-bomber. This was the US Navy's first monoplane scout-bomber, and followed the long line of standard biplanes used by this service after the First World War. It also helped lay the basis for the newer combat types which served during the Second World War. The prototype XSB2U-1 was ordered from the Vought-Sikorsky division of the United Air-
on October 11. 1934. This was an all-metal low-wing monoplane with a two-man crew (pilot and observer/gunner) seated in tandem under a long greenhouse canopy. The aircraft was fitted with a backward retracting main undercarriage and the wings were designed to fold upwards for craft corporation

Fifty similar aircraft were sent to the Royal Navy and named Chesapeake, armed with four forward-firing guns. However, they were declared unsuitable for British carrier operation and subsequently transferred to the training role. France was allocated 20 Vought V-I5r>s. similar to the SB2U-1.

aircraft carrier.
A hangar was built on the forecastle, extending forward 23.8 m (78 ft) from the bridge and capable of accommodating six aircraft which could be hoisted to the 'roof, which formed a flying-off deck, through a hatch. A 58.8 m (193 ft)x 17.4 m (57 ft) landing platform was erected on pillars and webs abaft the after funnel, at the same level as the flying-off deck, to which it was connected by 2.4 m (8 ft) wide catwalks. Aircraft flown off would recover on to the after platform, overruns into the after superstructure being prevented by a permanent 'buffer net', and be transferred to the hangar via the catwalks and the hatch above the hangar. The original armament of seven 7.5-in (191-mm)
guns was reduced to four, mounted on the forecastle, the quarterdeck and on either beam: four 3-in (76-mm) guns on A A mountings were erected on a 'bandstand' between the funnels and four low -angle 3-in guns were located two on each broadside. Six fixed torpedo tubes (two of them underwater), three firing on each beam, were also fitted.

not allowed to rest for long during the next four years, for crises in China led to her being recommissioned on four occasions for trooping passages to Hong Kong, each round trip taking up to six months. In July 1935, after two years' service in the Reserve Fleet, she took part in the Silver Jubilee Review at Spithead. A year later, she was taken in hand to convert her to a cadets' training ship. The work, which took nine months to complete, involved the removal of two sets of machinery and the after funnel, all her

the erection of deck-houses for accommodation and lecture spaces for the 200 officers

maximum
speed of 24 knots. Vindictive served as a training ship from September 1937 until the summer of 1939, it was decided to convert her yet again, this time as a fleet repair ship, the deck-houses lending themselves to use as workshops and the seaplane crane on the hangar (which had never been removed) proving to be a useful asset. Completed in March 1940. she was allocated initially to the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow, but in July of the same year she was sent out to Freetown where the Royal Navy had a base without the necessary maintenance facilities.

were a rudimentary conning tower and an improved type of periscope. They had twice the range and could dive to twice the depth of the previous boats.
On November 17, 1911, they were renumbered B. 1-3. and were subsequently designated 55. 10-12. In 1912 they were sent out to the Philippines as deck cargo aboard the colliers Ajax and Hector to provide local defence. They led undistinguished careers and were sunk as targets in 1922.

Viper was intended to replace the Luftwaffe's earlymodel Sidewinder AAMs, using a new infrared seeker developed by Bodenseewerk and a solid-propellant rocket motor being worked on jointly by industry in Germany and Norway. As development progressed the missile was compared with the performance expected to be achieved by the similar AIM9L Super Sidewinder, and in 974 Viper was abandoned in favour of that missile. Boden1

But by ships had been authorized, a fifth having been rejected by Congress in 1976. Developed from the California Class, to which they bear a close resemblance, the Virginia Class introduced a number of major improvements in capabilities.

defence there are eight single 76-mm (3-in) A A guns, two of which are mounted forward of the bridge, two on either side of the ship, and the remaining two aft. These are controlled by four Argo directors of Italian manufacture one above the bridge with two in the wings, and a further installation aft below the second mack. The armament is completed by two triple Mk 32 torpedo mountings, fitted at

forecastle-deck level on either side of the bridge. The sonar is an SQS-23 of US manufacture.

quickly produced and issued to the Volkssturm (home guard) units being formed for the last-ditch defence of Germany. The Gustloff company of Suhl were given the task of developing an automatic rifle. The weapon which they produced was based on a 1943 design by Barnetske. their chief engineer, and it consisted of a rifle barrel surrounded by a tubular sleeve which carried the bolt at its rear end. This was carried in a casing in which the boltsleeve unit could recoil against a spring and in which
was
the trigger and firing mechanism. The tubular sleeve maintained an annular space around the barrel; in this sp ;( ce was the recoil
spring and, just behind the muzzle, four uas ports which led from the barrel into the annular space. On firing, some of the propelling gas passed through these vents and acted
on the forward end of the sleeve, resisting the rearward force being generated at the other end of the sleeve by the cartridge case
Due
to the frag-
mentary record-keeping in Germany in early 945, the actual makers of this pistol are not known. The Volkspistole uses a similar system of delayed blowback to that of the Volksgewehr. The barrel is fixed to the frame and surrounded by a slide which forms an annular chamber around the barrel. Vents lead into this from the gun barrel so that highpressure gas will serve to hold the slide, and thus the breech, from moving back for a short time after firing. The barrel is extended by a smoothbore tube; the purpose of this has never been officially explained, but it is possible that it would sustain chamber pressure so as to improve the delayed blowback action.

commissioned for first trials in September 1910. The layout of guns was similar to that in the Invincible, with two twin mountings on the centreline forward and aft and two winged out amidships. In all other respects she was a considerable improvement over the sketchily armoured Invincible. Instead of an armoured cruiser armed with battleship guns the Germans chose a ship with armour nearly as good as a battleship's and sacrificed weight of broadside by retaining the 28-cm (11-in) gun. Another important difference was the German insistence on a heavy secondary b.ittery. with ten 15-cm (5.9-in) guns on the broadside amidships. She devoted over 299f of her displacement to armour, as against less than 209f

The von der Tann was the first large German ship with Parsons turbines. Her designed horsepower was 43 6(X) for 24.75 knots, but she was forced on trials and developed 79 000 hp. making 27.4 knots.

When Admiral Hipper sighted his main fleet and turned north the port wing turret broke down completely, leaving von der Tann with no main armament. She was using bad coal, and at the end of the day her speed had fallen to 18 knots. She was hit four times: a 15-in APC from Barham hit aft at 17400 m 19000 yards) and caused 1000 tons of water to flood the ship, while during the main action a 15-in APC from Revenge destroyed a ventilation shaft. The other hits were 13.5-in (343mm) APC shells from Tiger at about 15500 m (17000 yards), one of which blew a hole in the forward barbette and jammed the turret. In all she had 11 killed and 15 wounded. The ship rejoined the Fleet in August 1916 but saw no further action. After surrendering in November 1918 she was scuttled at Scapa Flow on June 21. 1919. The wreck was raised in December 1930 and scrapped. (

Voodoo, McDonnell F-101 US fighter/bomber aircraft. This single-seat, twin-engined, swept-wing aircraft originated from a design produced by the McDonnell company which flew for the first time in 1948 as the XF-88. The development of this was cancelled in 1950. but began again the following year as a potential penetration/long-range escort fighter, to fulfil a requirement issued by SAC (Strategic Air Command). It was redesignated F-101 and no additional prototypes were built, although considerable changes were made to the basic design, including the installation of different engines. An order for 29 aircraft under the production designation F-101A was placed in September 1952. However, by 1954 SAC had decided that the F-101 was no longer required, and TAC (Tactical Air Command) took over the order with the intention of using the aircraft in the tactical fighter/bomber role. Fortyeight additional machines were ordered and the first flight of an F-101 A took place on September 29. 1954. Production Voodoos, as the aircraft were named, began entering service in May 1957 and eventually equipped three squadrons of the 81st Tactical Fighter
Wing.
Service duties included low-level fighter/bomber missions. The F-lOlAs were powered by two Pratt & Whitney 6749-kg (14880-lb) st J57-P-13 turbojets with afterburning the large wing-root air intakes being a distinctive feature. The engines were installed in the bottom of the fuselage, and a very good range was possible as the aircraft could be fitted with up to three drop-tanks. Range with two extra tanks was 3540 km (2200 miles). There was a fixed armament of four 20-mm (0.79-in) M39E cannon, and three Falcon air-to-air missiles could be carried on the external stores points instead of the droptanks. Rockets, bombs or a tactical nuclear weapon could be carried internally. Following rapidly on the heels of the F101 A was the F-101C. 47 of which were ordered, with a strengthened wing, especially for low-level close-support duties. The same powerplant was utilized, and there was an additional external central pylon which could carry a nuclear weapon. The four cannon

Four hundred and eighty of this variant were built, including some to TF-101B configuration as dual-control trainers for the USAF. Fifty-six CF-lOIBs and ten CF-lOIFs (dual controls) were built for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The US F-IOIBs began entering service with the Air Defense Command in 1959 and were the mainstay of the US home-defence system from 1961 onwards, well into the 1970s. During 1970-71 the remaining 56 Canadian aircraft in service with that air arm were exchanged for 66 later-model F-IOIBs having better MG-13 fire-control equipment, MB5 autopilot and the Canadian designation F101 F or TF-101F.

Production of the B.l version was completed in April 1959 after 45 aircraft had been built. Some B.Is were fitted with an ECM pod over the tailcone in 1961, and redesignated Vulcan B.l A. While B.l production was under way. development continued centred on a larger wing and increased-thrust engines, resulting in the Vulcan B.2. The new wing had a greater span, with increased chord in the outer sections, and had four elevons either side in place of ailerons and elevators. The new wing was flown on the second prototype aircraft on August 31, 1957, with the first production B.2 flying on August 30, 1958. The Vulcan B.2 was powered by four Bristol Siddeley Olympus 201 turbojets. each rated at 7710 kg (17000 lb) st, and the Olympus 301. of 9980 kg (22000 lb) st. appeared on later machines and was retrofitted.

The Vulcan's wing was constructed in the conventional two-spar stressed-skin manner. It had a basic sweepback of 50°. with a compound sweep on the outer half of the wing, which gives a 209£ increase in chord at the three-quarter span position. (This compound sweep is known as the Phase 2 wing.) The control surfaces of two ailerons and two

Vulcan, Avro medium bomber. Perhaps most famous of the RAF's three Vbombers, the Vulcan was the second type to enter service and by 1979 it was the only one remaining in RAF service as a bomber. It was originally designed to meet Specification B. 35/46 issued in January 1947 to take advantage of the developments in jet engines and nuclear weapons. It was the first large British long-range
the
bomber
to
adopt a delta-wing configuration,
which offered the best combination of high speed at high altitudes and long range with good load-carrying capability. Prior to the aircraft's construction, the delta-wing configuration was tried out on a smaller scale by four single-seat Avro707AB and one twin-seat Avro 707C one-third scale experimental aircraft. Designated Type 698 by the company, the first prototype Vulcan

The intended powerplant, four
elevators are mounted on the wing trailing edges, while rotating-flap air brakes are located in the centre section near the leading edge. The engine bays, main undercarriage bays and fuel tanks are located in the wing. The semimonocoque fuselage, of circular section with a large dielectric panel under the nose, blends into a conventional fin and rudder, but there is no tailplane. The two main units of the tricycle undercarriage consist of an eight-wheel bogie, while the nose gear is a two-wheel unit. A large ribbon-type brake parachute supplements the wheel brakes. A standard V-bomber crew of pilot, copilot, two navigators and an air electronics officer are carried.
The Vulcan
carries no defensive armaalthough it has been progressively fitted with various electronic countermeasures resulting in an enlarged tailcone in the B.I A and B.2 versions. The Vulcan can carry conventional or nuclear weapons in its large internal bomb bay.

lowing on the decision to buy a licence to build a Fiat-Laurenti design to gain experience and to break the Vickers monopoly, the Admiralty took out a licence to build four submarines to a Schneider-Laubeuf design. As they were to be built by Armstrong Whitworth they were known as the Class. Two slightly different types were built. W. 1-2 and W.3-4, the latter with a shorter but beamier hull. A 3-in (76-mm) AA gun was added in all four in 1916. They were found to be awkward and the Schneider-Carel diesels were unreliable. In August 1916 they were

They did. however, differ from the earlier ships in having a combined HA/LA director on the bridge. On completion the ships joined the Home Fleet and were eventually formed into the 27th Destroyer Flotilla. At the end of 1944 all eight were refitted for service in the Far East. Modifications included the fitting of between one and five 40-mm guns, the ships with two or more losing part or all of their 20-mm (0.79-in) guns.

Walleye-equipped aircraft has a monitor on which he can see the view from a television camera mounted in the weapon's nose. He steers the camera, by means of a joystick, so that cross-wires are placed over the target and the bomb is then released to home automatically on to that point. In the larger, extended-range version the weapon can be dropped from one aircraft and then locked on to its objective by another, using the data link to carry video signals in one direction and positioning commands for the camera in the other.

RAF used the Walrus extensively in the airsea rescue role in which it was most successful, often alighting near enemy coasts in mine-infested waters to pick up survivors.

Walther small-arms. The Walther WaffenfabMehlis, Germany, was founded in 1886 for the production of sporting arms. In 1908 the company produced its first pocket automatic pistol, the Model 1. Improvements were gradually incorporated into the basic design, and in 1915 the company produced a military pistol, the Model 6. It was an attempt
German

rik of Zella
to fulfil the
demand
for pistols
which had
arisen during the war. and was simply an enlargement of the Model 4 pocket pistol, chambered for the 9-mm (0.354-in) Parabellum cartridge. Thus it was a fixed-barrel blowback with the recoil spring wrapped around the barrel and inside the slide. To give the barrel a reasonable length, it extended in front of the slide, and an extension piece was attached to the slide to conceal the recoil spring and carry the foresight. As might be expected, the 9-mm Parabellum stressed the blowback design to the limit, and the German army were not happy with it. Relatively few were made and it was never offered commercially.
Apart from the Model 6. Walther pistols had acquired a good reputation for sound workmanship and reliability, and in the 1920s the company decided to make a bid for the police market. This resulted in the Model PP. or Polizei Pistole of 1929 which retained the usual Walther fixed barrel with axial recoil spring, but it was given an external hammer, a double-action lock. The whole design was streamlined and refined to the point where it made virtually every other pocket automatic obsolete overnight. Produced in 7.65-mm (0.301-in) calibre the PP was an immediate success and became the preferred police pistol throughout Europe in the 1930s. Versions in 0.22-in (5.59-mm), 6.35 (0.25 in)
mm
and 9-mm Short chambering were produced, though the 6.35-mm version was soon dropped. Production continued during the war, being taken for military use; after the war the patents covering the various features were still
valid
and Walther were able
to negotiate
a licence agreement with Manurhin of France, whereby Manurhin made the PP and other Walther pistols. This arrangement enabled the Walther company to re-establish itself in Ulm. and in the mid-1960s production of the PP returned to the Walther factory. The Model PP has been fairly widely copied. The first copies appeared in Spain in prewar days and were unlicensed due to the peculiar Spanish patent laws of the time. Postwar copies have been made by Femaru in
Hungary and Kirrikale in Turkey. A copy is made in East Germany, and the Soviet Makorov leaned heavily on the PP for its inspiration. The PP was followed in 1931 by the PPK which stood for Polizei Pistole Kriminal. meaning a pistol to be carried by plain-clothes men. It was simply a smaller version of the PP. chambered in the same

Walther then turned to a completely new locked-breech design which appeared in 1937 as the Model AP (Armee Pistole). Barrel and slide rode in the pistol frame, the front of the slide being extensively cut away to expose the rear of the barrel. On firing, both recoiled together for a short distance locked by a wedge beneath the chamber. This wedge was then cammed down to unlock the slide, and struck a buffer in the frame to halt the barrel while the slide continued to recoil. On the return stroke, impelled by two return springs alongside the slide, a fresh round was chambered and barrel and slide were locked together again. Firing was done by an internal hammer, a double-action lock was fitted, and the

was chambered
for
the

Parabellum cartridge. Some 200 or so Model AP were made and. after testing them, the Army Weapons Office declared a preference for a pistol with an external hammer, on the grounds that an internal hammer gave no immediate indication of whether or not it was cocked. Walther therefore reworked the AP design, giving it an external hammer and calling the result the Model HP (heeres pistole). It was put forward for military test and also placed on the commercial market, retailing at $75. The army approved the HP. subject to
some small modifications to simplify mass production, and it was adopted as the Pistole 38. The total number of P-38s made is not known, but is believed to be in excess of 1000000. As well as being produced by Walther. they were also made by Mauser and by Spreewerke of Berlin. It was also adopted by the Swedish army in 1939 as their P-39 but only about 2000 were shipped before the outbreak of war put an end to the export business.
When the Bundeswehr was set up in the 1950s they selected the P-38 as their standard pistol, and in 1957 production began again at Ulm. The new model, known as the P-l. is identical to the prewar version except that the slide is made of light alloy and there are small changes in the firing pin and safety catch. It is also sold commercially in 0.22-in. 7.65-mm Parabellum and chambering.

In the early 1960s the company developed a submachine-gun. the Walther MP-K or MPL. the difference being a matter of the length of the barrel. The weapons are of pressed and welded construction with an overhung bolt and a folding metal stock. They are quite compact, blowback operated, and incorporate an ingenious sight which uses an open notch for snap-shooting and an aperture for more careful aiming. They have been evaluated by several countries, but apart from being adopted by various police forces

Armament comprised a forward-firing Vickers machine-gun and a ring-mounted Lewis in the rear cockpit, while 263 kg (580 lb) of bombs could be carried below the lower wings and fuselage. After it was selected for production, an initial order was placed for 25 Wapiti Is with revised tailplanes. The allmetal Wapiti II retained the Jupiter VI, and ten of this Mark were followed by 430 of the 550-hp Jupiter VHI-powered Mk IIA. the most widely used version, which served at home and in India and Iraq.

equipment. Production orders were placed after the success which was achieved in trials. Subsequently, 142 were built as PO2Ws (later WV-2s), based on the L-1049, powered by four 3400-hp Wright R-3350-34 or -42 engines and carrying a 26-man crew. In 1957, one of these was converted to WV-2E standard, having a large 'dish' radome above the fuselage; however, the Grumman WF-2 was considered a more promising design. ECM equipment was changed on some Warning Stars and these were designated WV-2Q. Eight were modified for weather reconnaissance as WV-3s, carrying different installations and an eight-man crew. Supplemented by USAF RC-121s, the WV-2s gave earlywarning cover across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1962, redesignation was as follows: EC-121K (from WV-2); EC-121L (from WV-2E); EC- 121 M (WV-2Q) and WC-121N (WV-3). Some of the EC-121K.S were redesignated EC- 12 IP and R in 1963, with the introduction of more modern equipment. The USAF, too, decided that the Constellation would make an ideal system. Ten

C-12ICs (long-range transport variant of the L-1049) were converted initially known as RC-121Cs and later as EC-121Cs. (The AEW role was originally known as 'radar picket' duty, hence the 'R' prefix, which later gave way to *E' for electronics.) Again these were distinguished by the double radome layout and they began operational service with Air Defense Command in late 1953, patrolling the West Coast area of the United States. May 1954 saw the initial delivery of a batch of 72 RC -12 IDs (later EC- 121 D) for Atlantic patrol with 55 Wing of the ADC, and were identifiable by the addition of wingtip fuel tanks. I
Further electronic equipment, including a computer, were installed in 1962, to collate information for NORAD/SAGE (North Air rican Defence/Semi-Automatic Ground Environment); after further modification these aircraft were redesignated EC-

Edinburgh Class but the design was modified at an early stage to provide an all-turret main armament with two 7.5-in (191-mm) turrets on each side of the upper deck amidships in place of the main deck broadside battery of 6-in (152-mm) guns. The extra topweight involved in this change gave the ships a slow, steady roll and they proved to be very good gun platforms and exceptional seaboats.
Twenty-five were ordered by the Italian air force and delivery was completed during 1977. Orders for this variant have been quite extensive, and the general designation given to export models is SF.260MX, but the last letter is changed, in most cases, according to the name of the recipient country: Belgium

However, like all the armoured cruisers of this period they suffered from very weak deck protection and carried a virtually useless anti-torpedo-boat battery of light 3-pdr guns. On completion they joined the 5th Cruiser Squadron of the Home Fleet but this was redesignated the 2nd Cruiser Squadron in 1909. On the outbreak of war they moved north to Scapa Flow to become part of the
Grand Fleet. On December 30, 1915, Natal blew up while at anchor in the Cromarty Firth to untook part in 1916 during

This is equipped with two or four underwing pylons for up to 300 kg (660 lb) of stores (if flown as a single-seater) and a cockpit stores selection/delivery panel. The Warrior can be used for low-level strike, forward air control or support, armed reconnaissance, liaison
and weapon training duties. Armament is considerable for an aircraft of this size, and tends to vary, depending on the mission involved. A typical load comprises two Matra 7.62-mm (0.30^in) machine-gun pods and two pods of six 68-mm (2.7-in), nine 2.75-in (70mm), or 18 2-in (51-mm) rockets. Export orders by early 1979 were: Dubai police air wing (one SF.260WD), Irish air corps (ten
SF.260WE), Philippine air force (16 SF.260WP). air force (12 Tunisian SF.260WT). and Comoro Islands air arm (eight SF.260WC).

But unlike Britain, the US delayed ordering the heavy gun mountings until it became clear that Japan would not ratify the treaty and that both the Italians and the French were building 15-in (380-mm) gunned ships. On June 21, 1937, permission was given to change the armament of the new battleships to three
(406-mm)/45 cal mountings, after keel had been laid. Fortunately the weight of a triple 16-in was roughly the same as that of a quadruple 14-in, and so only minor alterations had to be made to the 6 16-in/45barbettes and turntables. The cal had a maximum elevation of 45° and fired a 1225-kg (2700-lb) shell with a muzzle velocity of 700 m/sec (2300 ft/sec), giving a maxirange of 33 740 (36900 yards). triple 16-in

North Carolina (BB.55) was laid down at New York navy yard in October 1937 and she commissioned on April 9, 1941. Her sister Washington (BB.56) was laid down at Philadelphia navy yard in June 1938 and she commissioned on May 15, 1941. They set a new standard for appearance in US capital ships, with a flush deck and two thin funnels set well back. The protection comprised a flat armoured deck across the top of the main belt, which was inclined behind a prominent antitorpedo bulge at an angle of 15°. As in the case of other US capital ships of the period the published figures of armour thicknesses were exaggerated, and it was reported that the North Carolina had 152-mm (6-in) decks and 406-mm (16-in) belts. In fact the maximum thickness of deck was 140 (5.5 in), including the supporting mild-steel deck, and the belt did not exceed 305 (12 in). The most radical feature of the new design was the big increase in speed from 21 to 27 knots. In service both ships achieved their designed speed but suffered badly from vibration. They were, however, economical steamers, good for 13 500 nautical miles at 15 knots or 3400 nautical miles at 27 knots. North Carolina was the only battleship involved in the invasion of Guadalcanal in August 1942 as she was escorting the f;tst carriers Saratoga. Wasp and Enterprise. She fought in the battle of the eastern Solomons and claimed seven Japanese aircraft. On September 15. she was torpedoed by the

On
April 6, 1945, while fighting off an air attack off Okinawa, she was hit underneath a 5-in gun director by a shell from a nearby 'friendly' ship. In September 1945 she was present at Tokyo Bay for the surrender of Japan, and then returned to the US. After less than two years she was put into reserve
and never recommissioned, but after being stricken in June 1960 she was bought by the state of North Carolina and towed to Wilmington, NC to serve as a war memorial. Washington served for a while with the British Home Fleet in 1942, and covered several convoys to Murmansk. On May 1, 1942, she sustained some damage from exploding depth charges when HMS King George V cut the destroyer Punjabi in two, dead ahead of her. In September 1942 she joined Task Force 17 for the Solomons campaign, and two months later played a major role in the Battle of Guadalcanal. About an hour before midnight on November 13 Washington and South Dakota were stalking a Japanese force on radar, but as soon as the two battleships opened fire a short circuit in one of the South Dakota's 5-in gun mountings caused a total loss of electrical power. She blundered towards the Japanese line and was illuminated by searchlights at 4600 m (5000 yards). The captain of Washington wisely kept his searchlights switched off, and while the Japanese concentrated on South Dakota, closed to within 1800 m (2000 yards) before opening fire.

Washington served in most of the landings across the Pacific, but without doing more than bombard shore targets and defend the fast carriers against air attack. On February 1. 1944, she was seriously damaged in a collision with the battleship Indiana while operating off the Marshall Islands. Her bow was badly damaged, and repairs took three months, but she was back in time for the Marianas campaign in June. Her last operation was against Okinawa in MarchApril 1945 as she returned to the US for refit. After VJ-Day she repatriated troops from
Europe, and was finally decommissioned in June 1947. She was never brought out of reserve, and was stricken in I960 and scrapped.

The large open-sided hangar deck was poorly protected, the vessel's only armour being a 25-mm (I -in) hangar deck and 51 -mm (2-in) waterline belt, and aviation fuel tanks were integral with the main structure. Two large inboard lifts connected the hangar and flight deck and there was a small deck-edge lift. Two catapults were flush-mounted in the forward flight deck and a third was mounted athwartships in the hangar, capable of firing on either side through the forward side apertures.
More powerful machinery had

Wasp had a less fine hull than Ranger and needed the extra 21 500 shp to reach the designed speed of 29.5 knots. More fuel was therefore needed for a smaller radius of action, and this was provided at the expense of aviation fuel stowage, a positive disad vantage in view of the US Navy's commitment to extended operations. Wasp was laid down at the Bethlehem Steel yard at Quincy in April 1936, launched on April 4, 1940, and commissioned prior to completion on April 25, 1941. From the autumn of 1941 she was employed on neutrality patrols in the Atlantic, and she remained there after Pearl Harbor, engaged mainly in ed, as
training aircrew. In late
March 1942 she was
attached to the British Home Fleet, her main task being the ferrying of 94 RAF Spitfires to the Mediterranean, whence they were flown off to Malta. On return to the United States, Wasp was transferred to the Pacific Fleet; she left San Diego on July for the southwest Pacific, escorting a convoy bound for New Zealand and Guadalcanal. A machinery breakdown en route was repaired while under way. Wasp launched her first combat mission before dawn on August 7, 1942, her 16 Wildcat fighters and 15 Dauntless dive-bombers carrying out some 300 sorties on this and the following day as part of the preparation for the invasion of Tulagi and two other small islands in support of the US Marines.

Wasp, Westland British ASW and antiship
by Saunders-Roe (Saro)as the Sea Scout, the design was taken over by the Fairey division of Westland, when Saro was absorbed in 1959. A small all-metal 1
light helicopter, the P.531 was designed for antisubmarine (ASW) duties operating from small platforms on ships of frigate and destroyer size. As the design was refined, two separate versions emerged: the naval Wasp, and the Army's Scout. Although the original P.531 had first flown on July 20, 1958, powered by a 1050-hp Bristol Siddeley Nimbus turboshaft. the first preproduction Wasp
made
its first flight
on October
28, 1962.
The
Wasp differed from the P.531 in having four undercarriage legs with castoring wheels in place of a skid undercarriage (which was retained on the Scout) and a folding tailboom. Production Wasps, designated HAS.l, are powered by a Nimbus 103 or 104 engine rated at 710 hp. The first Wasp unit was the Initial Flying Trials Unit (700W Squadron) which formed at Culdrose in mid- 1963, disbanding on March 4, 1964. The first operational (and main) Wasp unit, 829 Squadron, commissioned as the Headquarters Squadron for all Small Ships Flights the next day. It moved to location at RNAS Portland in November 1964. Wasps are also on the strength of 703 Squadron at Portland and 706 Squadron at Culdrose, for training purposes, while they are also operated by Britannia Flight at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. In addition to the two preproduction aircraft, 98 Wasps were produced for the Royal Navy. A further 36 Wasps were produced for export: 13 going to the Royal Netherlands Navy, where they are designated AH-12A, 17 to the South African Navy (although the last aircraft of the second batch was never delivered), three to the Royal New Zealand Navy and three to Brazil. Brazil has since taken delivery of a further three ex-RN Wasps. The Wasps operate from their parent vessel, acting on its sonar response, at up to 10 nautical miles, delivering homing torpedoes

The (the German air ministry) studied von Braun 's report and awarded a development contract for Wasserfall, design studies of which were completed in early 1943. More than 25 designs were tested in wind tunnels at up to 3200 km/h (2000 mph) but work proceeded only slowly, the first fully successful flight (with the third prototype missile) not taking place until March 944. A total of 25-27 Wasserfalls were fired, of which ten were failures, and development 1
was officially abandoned in February 1945. The Luftwaffe's Flak Training and, Research Section 700, which was responsible for evaluating competing SAMs, estimated in 1944 that 600 batteries of Schmetterling and 900 of Wasserfall would be needed to defend Germany against bomber attacks from the west, with a total of 670 batteries doing the same job on the Russian front. The same unit estimated, however, that only three Wasserfall batteries could have been operational by the end of 1945. Wasserfall was built entirely of steel because light alloys were in short supply, and
was big and heavy. It had to be launched vertically, and a primitive computer was required to ensure that the round was launched in the correct direction and gathered by the associated optical or radar tracking devices as quickly as possible. Beam-riding guidance was proposed originally, but the technology was not sufficiently the missile
advanced at the time; a visual command system was therefore adopted initially, with radar planned to supersede it later. Wasserfall was powered by a Peenemunde P IX liquid-propellant rocket motor burning Visol (vinyl isobutyl ether) oxidized by SVStoff or Salbei (fuming nitric acid) to produce 7800 kg (17 160 lb) of thrust for 42 seconds. Enemy bombers would be tracked optically or by radar, the Einlenk computer would process this information and aim the optical or radar missile tracker, the round would be launched and come under ground control within six seconds. The initial all-optical
system was known as Burgand and used the Kehl-Strassburg command link to operate graphite vanes in the motor exhaust and steering surfaces on the fins.

wartime ahead-throwing ASW weapons which could cope with the new generation of submarines tvpified by the German Tvpe XXI. Weapon Alpha probably originated in a US Navy Bureau of Ordnance study of counters to the Type XXI conducted in 1944-45. It included general specification for two future weapons, denoted A (which became, via the military phonetic alphabet. Able and then Alpha) and B. A would be a 113-kg (250-lb) charge fired by influence and time fuzes at ranges between 360-730 m (400-800 yards) and mounted in a revolving launcher. The rate of fire would be the maximum possible, and the charges were to sink at 12 m/sec (40 ft/sec) so as to minimize errors in fire control due to the dead time between firing and approach to the target. Weapon A would clearly be rather large, and a Weapon B was proposed for smaller ships, with similar performance but a 23-kg (50-lb) explosive charge. In fact Weapon B was abandoned in 1946 as cost-ineffective, especially compared to existing Hedgehogs which could fit aboard escort vessels.

Range was selected by varying launcher elevation, and the use of a time fuze (ie a depth setting) required a fire-control computer linked to a new depth-determining sonar. SQG-1. The launcher.

Webley &
British small-arms. The firm of Webley Scott started in the 1830s in Birmingham when two Webley brothers set up as makers of parts for gun locks. They combined soon afterwards and in 1853 were advertising themselves as manufacturers of percussion revolvers. These were made in several styles, including a plain military model. With the lapsing of the Rollin-White patents, metallic cartridge revolvers were made and in 1867 the firm was lucky enough to get a contract to
supply the Royal Irish Constabulary with a solid-frame revolver of remarkable durability and reliability. It was a success and was adopted by other police forces all over the empire, setting an example for simplicity and robustness of its components. This feature was to remain a Webley hallmark for all their revolvers, and it made them ideally suitable for service in remote parts of the world. The RIC model went through many variants and different calibres, but the brothers were looking for improvements and were not afraid to buy other men's ideas. The Pryse patents for a hinged, selfextracting frame were bought in 1877 and a new line of revolvers put on to the market without delay. They were made in all calibres
and all
all barrel lengths and formed the basis of the military models that were to follow.

Hammerless of 1909 and finally, in the 9-mm (0.354-in) of 1909. This last was a step in the right direction, though the two small-calibre models were made and sold in reasonable numbers. The 9 remained in production until 1930 and it was followed in 1912 by the first largecalibre automatic of the Webley design that saw military service. This was a powerful and heavy locked-breech pistol of rather angular appearance and a somewhat finely made locking system. It was adopted by the Royal Navy, and later models were also taken by the Royal Horse Artillery, and at the same time the Royal Flying Corps, who were looking for a light automatic for the observers of two-seat aircraft, ordered a quantity with a light wooden shoulder stock. The army preferred the revolvers, and very large numbers of these were turned out during the First World War.

Welgun British submachine-gun. The Welgun was one of many British attempts during the Second World War to produce a very small and light submachine-gun. It was called for by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) which were at that time in Welwyn, hence the first part of the name. It was designed and built by BSA in Birmingham and the first military trials were in early 1943. From then on there seem to have been several trials, in all of which the Welgun fared quite well, but it was never adopted, not even for the SOE. The design used some Sten components. The barrel, magazine and return spring were Sten, but the design was most compact. The spring was around the barrel and two long plates ran forward from the bolt to a ring in front of the spring. There was a stop just in front of the breech and rear movement of the bolt compressed the spring against this stop. The plates had serrations on them, and these were gripped to cock the weapon. The Sten magazine fed vertically upwards and the
was enclosed in a tubular jacket. The mechanism was veiy simple, almost crude, and the safety was an external rocking bar which held the bolt either open or closed. A simple folding steel stock was fitted. The bolt had a floating firing pin actuated

Wellesley. Vickers-Armstrongs British bomber. When the British air ministry issued
its
G.4/31 specification for a general-
purpose bomber, one of the contenders was Vickers with a conventional wire-braced Type 253 biplane, first flown in August 1934. Its fuselage incorporated the patented geodetic structure pioneered by Barnes Wallis during his days as the Vickers airship designer. This comprised a basket-like structure assembled from large numbers of small
channel sections of rolled or pressed
light
riveted together by X- or T-shaped joint pieces. The idea was to save weight and also facilitate repair; it also offered an alternative to the modern stressed-skin structure alloy,
which British companies were reluctant to adopt because of the high tooling costs and their lack of experience.
Though the Vickers 253 was adequate the company boldly decided to follow the advice of Wallis and build a much more challenging G.4/31 prototype, entirely on their own risk, using almost the same fuselage and tail but a totally new long-span cantilever monoplane wing, giving of geodetic construction, reduced drag and considerably greater range. The resulting Type 287, named Wellesley, flew on June 19, 1935. It also had a much more powerful version of the Bristol Pegasus engine, the Mk XX rated at 925 hp on the new 100-octane fuel, and fully retractable main landing gear. The bombload of 907 kg (2000 lb) was housed in streamlined nacelles on underwing pylons; armament comprised two 7.7-mm (0.303-in) guns, a belt-fed Vickers in the right wing firing ahead and a gas-operated Vickers K aimed from the rear cockpit. Performance of the Wellesley was so good that in September 1935 it was substituted for the biplane, and the Weybridge factory delivered 176 in 1937-38. All were built as Mk I. but a few were modified with a greenhouse canopy over both cockpits and designated Mk II. Another non-standard trio were modified for the

until after its end. It is possible that the Wellington's total of over 180000 offensive sorties is a record for any type of aircraft. B N (later Sir Barnes) Wallis naturally chose the geodetic method of construction pioneered with the Wellesley in planning the twin-engined long-range bomber to meet the air ministry specification B.9/32. He made the fuselage of oval section, with bulbous nose and tail. The integral centre-section of the wing carried conventionally built nacelles for the two 825-hp Bristol Pegasus radial engines, outboard of which were attached the long-span outer wings that gave high cruising efficiency and good field performance at high weights. Doped with silver over its fabric covering, the Vickers 271 prototype K4049 was flown at Brooklands on June 15. 1936. With potential greater than that of other bombers then flying in Europe, large orders were placed, and Shadow factories were built for the Pegasus engine and for the airframe, with main assembly centres at Chester and Blackpool. Deliveries began in early 1938. The Vickers 415 Wellington I had 1000-hp Pegasus XVIII engines, Vickers turrets at nose and tail each with twin 7.7-mm (0.303in)

180 Vickers (soon to be Vickers-

These were the chief RAF heavy bombers in the first two years of the Second World War. After learning the hard way that unescorted were suicidal, these daylight missions Pegasus-engined Wellingtons provided the backbone of Bomber Command's early night raids on Germany. In April 1941 they were first to drop the 1814-kg (4000-lb) bomb, which few other aircraft could accommodate. Early Wellingtons also laid sea mines and flew many other kinds of mission. Popularly known as the Wimpey (from J Wellington Wimpey. Popeye's friend) the Wellington quickly established a pre-eminent reputation for reliability and toughness. Its unique structure flexed in all directions but proved able to hold together after seemingly catastrophic battle damage, and was easy to repair. Later in the war the surviving Mk I as crew trainers, and as or XVI unarmed transports. In January 1940 a small number were hastily converted as DW.I (Degaussing Wellington) exploders of magnetic mines, with a fuselage generating set feeding very large current pulses through a horizontal conductor coil of 14.6 m (48 ft) diameter fixed under the wings

Hercules III; a year later came the Mk IV with Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasps. Eventually there were 400 Mk lis and 220 Mk IVs, all of which were operational, but the obvious engine for the future was the sleevevalve Hercules, coming into very large-scale shadow production at Accrington. Various Hercules rated at 1375-1675 hp were standard in most marks from 1942 onwards. Standard
Bomber Command aircraft were the Mk III, which introduced the four-gun tail turret (1519 built), and Mk X, with more powerful engines and improved propellers and many other details (3804 built). These aircraft remained in the front line with Bomber Command to the end of the war. flying with heavy loads in the same bomber streams as the later four-engined heavies. After the war the Mk X remained in service rebuilt as the T. 10 and T.19 trainers until 1953. Though none saw operational service the Mks V and VI were the chief British extremealtitude bombers of uje mid-war period. Respectively powered by special highaltitude versions of the Hercules and Merlin, they had a grotesque whale-like appearance caused by the upswept nose carrying a drumlike pressure cabin with a small Perspex
dome
for the pilot's head. Later some of the 63 VI were used without pressurization as Gee trainers and in electronic research with Oboe and other equipment. Many other Wellingtons were used for diverse research and special duties until the late 1940s. Several were the chief testbeds for night-fighter radars, making the first flights of AI.IX, and SCR-720, while others flew the first Elint (electronic intelligence) missions. In late 1944 other Wellingtons acted as the first (airborne warning and control system) platforms in guiding the night interception by Mosquitos of flying-bomb-carrying Heinkels at very low level over the North Sea.

After 1942 the chief production Wellingtons were Coastal Command reconnaissance versions. First came the GR.VIII, basically a Mk IC with ASV.II 'washing-line' radar and, usually, a Leigh searchlight. Following 394 of these came the Mks XI (180 from Blackpool) and XII (58 from Chester/Wey bridge), with Hercules XVI engines and the new ASV.III radar in a radome under the unarmed nose (occasionally a manually aimed 20-mm [0.79in] or other gun was fitted). Two torpedoes could be carried in the weapons bay, and usually a Leigh light was fitted in a retractable mounting immediately aft of the weapons bay. The Mk XIII reverted to the old ASV.II radar, with nose turret, but the definitive maritime version was the GR.XIV with ASV.III. retractable Leigh light.

It was a remarkably successful weapon in its 0.32-in (8.13-mm) form, and it has been said that no other silencer has equalled it for efficiency. The pistol itself was quite crude and was plainly never meant for extended use. but one could hardly expect that of an undercover weapon. A steel sleeve extended over barrel and breech, with a slot for the ejection of the empty case. On this sleeve were two simple sights and a knurled small magazine with a cap at the back. plastic coating formed the butt, and the trigger was a piece of bent metal. It was only a single-shot weapon and the slide had to be manually worked for each shot. The silencer was just 10 cm (4 in) long and contained metal and rubber discs which trapped the muzzle gases before slowly venting them from the muzzle opening after the bullet had gone. There was no flash and no bang, and the bullet was subsonic so that there was no crack from a Shockwave. The official name for the Welrod was Hand Firing Device Mark I, and it was also tried in 9-mm (0.354-in) Parabellum and 0.45-in (1 1.4-

Wellington/Winchester British hovercraft. These two major types of hovercraft were developed by the British Hovercraft Corporation at Cowes. Isle of Wight, to meet an anticipated military market. The first to be developed was the SR.N6
Winchester which was adapted to a military role from the civilian transport version. The first military Winchester was modified for radar duties, carrying radar and communications equipment. This craft was purchased by the Royal Navy for its Hovercraft Trials Unit formed in 1974. The craft has been extensively tested in the amphibious assault role carrying up to 30 fully equipped troops or 3 tons of cargo at speeds up to 70 knots up to a range of 200 nautical miles. Since the initial converted SR.N6 a number of military versions have been developed around the basic SR.N6 design. The Mk 2/3 has a roof loading-hatch and strengthened side decks for carrying loads up to 0.5 tons and operates in a logistic-support role. The Mk 4 version has been supplied to the Iranian navy.

Wespe (wasp) was developed by Alkett early in 1942 using the chassis of the PzKpfw II tank; the hull was lengthened, the engine moved forward, and an open-topped superstructure built up on the hull to give a liberal working space around the gun. The standard field howitzer, the 105-mm le FH18M was fitted into the front plate of this superstructure so as to allow 17° of traverse each side of centre and 42° elevation. The driver sat in a separate

preproduction models built by Westland took to the air on June 20, 1958, and these were evaluated by the FAA in June 1960. Production aircraft were designated Wessex HAS Mk and powered by the 1450-shp Napier Gazelle 161 engine; an eventual total of 129 were built for the Royal Navy, plus 27 similar HAS Mk 31s for the Royal Australian Navy. The Wessex was the first helicopter to be designed specifically for the FAA in the antisubmarine role. A crew of four was carried two pilots, an observer and an underwater equipment operator. Armament was usually two homing torpedoes, carried externally. Eight squadrons of the FAA were equipped with this type, the first (No 815) serving aboard HMS Ark Royal from September 1961.

Anglo-Italian helicopter. Probably the basis for the most important new helicopter programme in Western Europe, the WG.34 was first produced as a detailed study project by Westland Helicopters in 1976-77 under a £10 million ministry of defence contract to define the Royal Navy's Sea King replacement (SKR). Announced publicly in September 1978. the WG.34 was at that time made the subject of a protocol agreement with Italy's
Agusta company. France and West Germany are likely to join the WG.34 programme, which also has obvious civil applications. In 1979 most details of the basic Royal Navy WG.34 had been settled apart from the choice of engine: two or three engines of an off-the-shelf type in the 1500/2500-hp class will be used with side-facing inlets, driving four-blade main and tail rotors of advanced design. The streamlined fuselage will not have a boat hull, and despite power and weight being greater than that of the Sea King the overall dimensions will be slightly smaller. Multiwheel landing gear will retract fully, and sensors and weapons will as far as possible be carried internally. Marconi

Whippet medium tank, formally called Medium Mark A. in service from 1918 to the early British
1930s. After the first tanks had appeared on the battlefield and shown their value, the War Office requested a design of a lighter, faster tank capable of assuming the traditional role
of cavalry, exploiting a breakthrough and pursuing the enemy. Since trench-crossing and wire-breaking would be taken care of by the larger tanks, the new design could be smaller and lighter so as to give better per-
William Tritton. Chief formance. Sir Engineer of the Foster company of Lincoln, who had built the first tanks, produced a design he called the Tritton Chaser. It was built on conventional motor-car lines, with the engine at the front, driver behind it. and a crew compartment behind that. Tritton's design had a revolving turret on top of the hull, but this was considered too complicated and was abandoned; instead, the superstructure was built up and four machine-guns were fitted, facing at right angles to each other and covering the entire area around the tank.
The original tanks lost a great deal of power due to their primitive steering arrangements, and Tritton gave his 'Chaser' two engines, one to drive each track. The driver's steering wheel was connected to the throttles so that as he turned the wheel one track slowed and the other speeded up; for straightahead driving the two engines could be linked by a clutch mechanism, but once this was done the vehicle could not be steered at all. It was a difficult vehicle to drive, to say the least. The track was of low profile, breaking away from the 'all-round' type used on the first tanks, and passing below the level of the hull top.
The Whippet, as it was nicknamed in was taken into use in 1918. being first used in action at Colincamps on March 26. However, the great breakthrough and pursuit was a long time coming, and the Whippets were used as general battle tanks, at which they served quite effectively. The Germans were sufficiently impressed to copy the basic design, placing a 57-mm (2.24-in) gun in the service,

Whirlwinds involved in rescue work were painted bright yellow and used both winch and scoop-net methods of recovery, achieving a high success rate in that field. A short-range tactical transport or groundassault type was flown in prototype form on February 28, 1959, designated 10 and having a 1050-shp Bristol Siddeley Gnome engine. This necessitated a lengthened nose section, which differentiated turbine-engined models from the piston-engined Whirlwinds.

requirements of high speed, manoeuvrability
and good seaworthiness which were necessary to counter the latest types of submarine which had very high submerged speeds. To obtain the first named feature, within a hull of reasonable size, a small high-power steam turbine plant was adopted which utilized double reduction gearing to obtain the maximum level of efficiency from both the turbines and propellers. Geared cruising turbines were also fitted for economy at low powers but these were disconnected when running at high speeds. The hull form was

Two prototypes were built, one powered by two 795-hp Armstrong Siddeley Tiger IX air-cooled radials and the other by 935-hp Tiger Xls. The former were chosen for installation on the first production batch of 34 Whitley Mk Is. which began replacing the Handley Page Heyfords of No 10 Squadron in March 1937. These had slight dihedral applied to the outer wings and armament comprised two 0.303-in (7.7-mm) Vickers manuallymachine-guns, one each in operated nose and tail turrets. A bombload of characteristically
3175 kg (7000 lb) was carried internally. The Whitley II was powered by two 845-hp Tiger VIII engines with two-stage superchargers the first time this type of engine had been used in an RAF aircraft. Forty-six of this version were built, followed by 80 Mk Ills, which retained the Tiger VIII powerplants, but the nose gun was remounted in a power-operated turret and an additional ventral 'dustbin' turret with twin 0.303-in Browning machine-guns was fitted. Further modifications included increased wing dihedral on the outer panels, a better navigation system, and enlarged bomb racks. The Whitley IV, which appeared in 1938. was powered by two of the new 1030-hp Rolls-Royce Merlin V-type engines, the maximum speed being increased by some 48 km/h (30 mph) to 394 km/h (245 mph) at 4875 m (16000 ft). The rear gun turret was altered to the power-operated type and contained four 0.303-in Browning machine-guns, mak-

aimer. Thirty-three were built, plus Mk IVAs with 1075-hp Merlin X engines. The main production version, the Mk V. kept the Merlin X engines but had the fuselage extended by 38 cm (15 in) to improve the field of view for the rear gunner. It also had redesigned tail fins and rudders, and fuel capacity was increased again to a maximum of 4405 litres (969 Imp gal). Total production of this type was 1466 aircraft. A Mk V was converted as prototype for the next model, the Mk VII. A number of Mk Vs were initially converted to this configuration to be used as general reconnaissance aircraft with Coastal Command. They were equipped with ASV Mk II radar and carried a crew of six, instead of the normal five. After the conversions, another 146 of this variant were constructed. Overall total of Whitley bombers built was 1914. The Mk VI was a project only, for using the Pratt Whitney Twin Wasp GR- 1830 radial in the event of delays in delivery of the Merlin. The Whitleys gave a good account of themselves in service until April 1942. and continued to be used thereafter as transports or glider tugs.

main material for construction, and fuselages and aircraft wings were invariably covered in fabric, Michel Wibault produced his revolutionary Type 7 CI in response to a programme for single-seat fighters inaugurated by the French still
the
ministry in 1923. Wibault's chief designer Martinet conceived an all-metal parasol highwing monoplane. The covering of the thick-
air
section wing comprised dural strips reinforced at each rib junction by 'pressed fold' skin joints, the whole scheme being a Wibault patent. The fuselage covering was of dural panels. The resulting aircraft was a great advance on most of its fabric-covered contemporaries. Powered by a 480-hp GnomeRhone Jupiter 9 Ad uncowled radial engine (built under licence from Bristol), the prototype .01 was flown by Wibault company pilot Gustave Douchy in 1924. The second prototype appeared in 1925 and had a wider-track undercarriage, oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers, a fin and rudder of higher and narrower aspect, and a fuselage and tailplane covering of finely corrugated dural sheet skinning. The wing profile was also modified. Official tests
of the second prototype were successfully completed during the summer of 1925. The machine was adjudged a success by service test pilots, who described it as manoeuvrable and robust. An evaluation batch, believed to be of six machines, was ordered at that stage, while a third prototype, named Rafale, was used as a demonstrator in Spain. The French Aviation Militaire ordered a large production batch soon afterwards. It is believed that the original order was for 100 Wibault 72s, which had strengthened wing bracing, but available records indicate that only 60 were in fact delivered. The Polish government was interested in licence production of the Wibault 73, a prototype powered by a liquid-cooled 450-hp Lorraine 12 Fb engine, but eventually the P.Z.L. company licence-built 25 Wibault 72s and three Type the latter powered by Wright radial engines. Only production of the Type 73 was a batch of seven delivered to Paraguay, three of which saw action against Bolivia in 1932. There was considerable interest in Wibault's advanced techniques on the other side of the English Channel, and he was appointed consultant to the British Vickers company, who built 26 Wibault 72s under the designation Vickers 121. Of these, 25 were sold to Chile and one to the RAF. The French navy was anxious to obtain an aircraft suitable for operation from its sole aircraft carrier Beam and a batch, believed to be of 18 aircraft, was ordered to equip Escadrille 7C1. Modified for carrier work, with strengthened rear fuselages and arrester hooks, they were designated Wibault 74. Final order was also from the navy, for 18 Type 75 photo-reconnaissance versions. The Wibault 72 gave good service to the 7s,

Also in 1940, a further 100 Wildcats with the R- 1830 engine were ordered by the British authorities as G-36B Martlet lis. An innovation on these was to be the wing-folding mechanism for ease of stowage on board ship. Delays in the development of this equipment led to the first ten being delivered
the end of issued a requirement for a new high-performance fighter for carrier duties. Grumman, at that time manufacturing the F3F-1, produced a design called the Model G- 16, following the lines of the biplane series which had started with the FF-1 in 1931. Although smaller than its immediate predecessor, the Model G-16 was to be powered by a single 800-hp Wright XR-1670 or Whitney XR-1535 engine, 875-hp Pratt which it was anticipated would give a maximum speed of 425 km/h (264 mph). Grumman was contracted to build a prototype designated XF4F-1, but during the design period the put in an order for a prototype monoplane fighter (the XF2A-1) from the Brewster company. As a result of this, the Grumman designers altered their Model 16 to monoplane configuration, to which the navy agreed, and produced a single-seat prototype designated XF4F-2 (Grumman G18), with the uprated 1050-hp Twin Wasp R1830-66 powerplant. This was a mid-wing monoplane, with a retractable main undercarriage, the wheels folding into the forward fuselage. Armament comprised two fuselage-

This flew for the first time on February 12, 1939, and a production order for 54 F4F-3s was issued in the following August; the first one flying in February 1940. In addition to the engine change, the tailplane was repositioned on the fin instead of being on the lower fuselage, and on production aircraft all four guns were housed in the wings. The eventual total of F4F-3s built for the US Navy was 285, including one F4F-3S floatplane and a few camera-carrying F4F-3P conversions. Coincident with the first USN contract was another from France, for 100 F4F-3s with the 1200-hp Wright R-182O-G205A powerplant. to be designated G-36A.

thirty-eight went into service and a further 3 12 to Great Britain as Martlet Vs (or, as they were to become in 1944. Wildcat Vs). As new equipment became available for installation in the Wildcat, it was difficult to keep performance apace with the increased weight. So it was decided to try the 1350-hp Wright R- 820-56 Cyclone engine in the XF4F-8 prototype, which had a lighter airframe as well as the additional 150-hp available for takeoff. A further prototype was built with a higher fin and rudder layout; after tests, this Wildcat type was produced in large quantities by Fastern Aircraft 4407 going to the USN as FM-2s and 370 as Wildcat Vis to the FAA.

Production continued until August 1945, by which time a total of 7344 Wildcats of all types had been produced. Much of their service with the
US Navy was
in the Pacific,
and with the FA A in the Atlantic theatre; they were responsible for the destruction of about 900 enemy aircraft altogether. Wildcats gave good reliable service, and they were not replaced on front-line duties until 1944.

small-arms. Oliver Winchester (1810-80) a prosperous shirt-maker who had some capital invested in the Volcanic Arms company in 1855. This company made a leveraction rifle which used an odd self-contained cartridge which was simply an elongated bullet with the propelling charge in the hollowed-out base. Due to the poor ballistic shape and small charge it was neither powerful nor accurate and the rifle failed to sell; in 1857 the company collapsed. Winchester, however, was convinced of the utility of a repeating rifle, and for just over $39000 he purchased the assets and stock, and set up as
was
the
New Haven Arms company.
Having no
mechanical ability, he then hired Tyler Henry, a brilliant gunsmith and engineer, to redesign the rifle. Henry first developed a 0.44-in (11.2-mm) rimfire cartridge and then rifle. Every rimfire cartridge made since then by Winchester has been marked 'H' on its base. The rifle used basically the same lever beneath the stock to actuate a toggle lock and withdraw the bolt as had the earlier Volcanic, and it also used the same tubular magazine beneath the barrel, feeding a fresh round to the breech with every stroke of the lever. Henry's contribution was to

appear to have given Winchester and the Henry rifle a golden opportunity, but in fact the Union Army were not disposed to such complicated devices as repeating rifles and bought very few. On the other hand, sales to State Militia units and to homesteaders in isolated
areas were sufficient to carry the
company through the war. In the years after the Civil War, many companies who had prospered from the conflict were unable to make the transition to peacetime and collapsed. Winchester, however, was astute enough to promote his rifle overseas to such countries as Peru, France and, particularly. Turkey. The latter bought rifles and ammunition to the tune of $1.46 million and used them to good effect against the Russians at Plevna, a useful publicity boost. In 1866 the company had been reformed as
2598
the Winchester Repeating Arms company and the product became the Winchester rifle. It was Henry's design still, but with the addition of 'King's Improvement' whereby the magazine was loaded through a port in the receiver instead of from the front end of the magazine tube. Essentially, the Winchester design had arrived at its definitive form, and although the company has made innumerable lever-action models since then, and continues to produce them, they are only superficially changed from the 1866 pattern. The most significant change came with the Model 1873, which introduced centre-fire ammunition to the Winchester range. Although Oliver Winchester had always sought to promote his rifle as a military weapon he had little success in that direction and it became primarily a commercial success. Lever-action rifles are, to say the least, inconvenient when fired from a prone position, and once the military bolt-action had been perfected in magazine form, military use of lever-action rifles almost entirely ceased. The only major adoption of lever-
actions after the 1870s was when Winchester sold 293 818 of their Model 1895 rifles to Russia in 1915-17, together with 174 million cartridges, but this can be largely ascribed to the general shortage of rifles at the time. Had supplies of the Mosin-Nagant been readily available, it is doubtful whether these sales
would have been made. In
an attempt
to
enter
the
bolt-action
military field, the Winchester-Hotchkiss was developed in 1883. This had been designed by
Benjamin B Hotchkiss (of Hotchkiss machine-gun fame) and Winchester bought the manufacturing rights. It was a bolt-action repeater with tubular magazine in the butt, chambered for the .45-70-405 US government cartridge. The US Army bought 750 of these for extended trial but eventually decided that the time
was not
yet ripe for adoption of a
magazine rifle. With that. Winchester more or less gave up hope for the army and concentrated on commercial work.

had agreed to adopt the rifle, but Lee had no facilities for manufacturing in quantity. Winchester therefore bought rights to manufacture, and, as a bonus, tried to push it on the commercial market. The navy's order amounted to 15000, and once that was completed the rifle was advertized as a sporting weapon. But its small calibre and unusual bolt told against it in the hunting market of the time, and no more than about 1700 were sold commercially. The First World War saw a vast increase in bolt-action

In addition, the Browning automatic rifle was made, and some 100 million rounds of .303 ammunition supplied to Britain. The company's commercial shotguns were also provided with bayonets and supplied as trench- warfare weapons, and 525 million .30-06 cartridges were turned out for rifle.

Among its unusual features were its very-long-span wing of refined elliptical planform, and a four-main-wheel undercarriage, with each wheel unit retracting into a separate engine nacelle. Later prototypes had two aft-firing nacelle barbettes, each armed with 0.5-in (12.7-mm) Browning machine-guns, and remotely con-

The prototype had a rearward-sliding cockpit canopy and was armed with two Hungarian 7.62-mm (0.30-in) Gebauer wingmounted machine-guns. It bore the serial V501. Flight testing came to an end on April 21, 1942. when pilot Sandor Boskovits saw the starboard aileron break away while at 3000 (9840 ft). Getting the aircraft under limited control he was able to jump and landed safely by parachute. Although there had been tentative plans to produce a cannon-armed series version, possibly powered by a liquid-cooled Daimler Benz 605 engine, no further development was undertaken after the crash of Boskovits' machine, and the Manfred Weiss plant built the Messerschmitt Me 210 under licence in its stead.

The Worcester Class departed from the Cleveland line of light cruiser development, and were rather an expansion of the Oakland Class of antiaircraft cruisers, incorporating the lessons of wartime experience. In place of the 5-in (127-mm) guns of the latter they were equipped with a new twin6-in (152-mm) semiautomatic dual-purpose mounting, of which three were carried fore and aft. This gave them a formidable antiship capability Another that their predecessors lacked. major improvement over the Oakland Class lay in the provision of four HA/LA directors for the main armament in addition to two LA DCTs. In place of the standard wartime 40(1.57-in) AA they were fitted with the new rapid-fire 3-in (76-mm) gun in five twin mountings on either side amidships, a further twin mounting above the bow and two single

Predictably there was a big jump in displacement of more than 4000 tons to accommodate the length needed for the extra turret, whereas the horsepower and armour thickness remained the same. Although not unsuccessful ships for their
day the Wyomings showed that the 12-in gunned Dreadnought had reached the limit of its development. Any increase in offensive power must come from a bigger calibre, and the experience convinced designers that they must go for the 14-in (356-mm) gun. The machinery was the weakest point of the design for, unlike the British, the US found their turbines less economical than the old reciprocating machinery. It was planned to build these ships with a combination of turbines on the inner shafts and tripleexpansion on the outer for cruising, but eventually a four-shaft turbine installation was chosen. This caused trouble when the machinery manufacturers objected to the official specifications, and in the following New York Class the row became public.

The first prototype flew on December 12, 1946, powered by a 2690-hp Rolls-Royce Eagle, but it had been decided to develop a turboprop for the production Wyvern and only 14 piston-engined Mk Is were built for test purposes.
Both the Rolls-Royce Clyde and ArmPython turboprops were tested in Wyvern Mk 2s in early 1949, and 20 were ordered with Clydes, but this engine had been abandoned in order to allow RollsRoyce to concentrate on other engines, and the Python was substituted for the TF 4 main production model.

British submarine. After the First World War naval officers still regarded the big-gun duel as the ultimate in naval tactics. This line of
thought prevailed at the 1922 Washington Naval Conference, and when an attempt was made to reduce the usefulness of the submarine prior to total abolition it was the size of gun that could be fitted that was considered the limiting factor, not the size or number of torpedo tubes. The idea persisted of a cruiser-submarine capable of scouting for the Fleet while at the same time capable of looking after any hunting destroyers by surfacing and attacking them with superior gunfire. Money for such a submarine was included in the 1921-22 Naval Estimates. Named X.l, the submarine was launched at Chatham dockyard in June 1923 and completed in I925. She mounted four 5.2-in (132-mm) guns in twin mountings in addition to a bow salvo of six torpedoes. Her massive twin diesel engines were designed to give her a top speed of over 18 knots, with an extremely long range at cruising speed.

The most notable operation was that carried out by X.5-10 against the German battleship Tirpitz in September 1943. The force of six midgets suffered a staggering 100% loss but managed to damage the hull of the Tirpitz seriously, her machinery being thrown completely out of alignment by the explosion. The surviving 'X' craft were all scrapped in 1945. 'X' craft carried

Trials with X.3 and X.4 showed that the best means of getting the midget to its target area was to tow it behind another submarine (usually one of the 'S' or *T' Classes). The 'X' craft negotiated the passage to its operational area submerged. The midgets suffered from a serious operational hazard resulting from the very low freeboard. This meant that the hatch could not be left open when the boat was surfaced and so a long air mast had to be fitted to ventilate the boat, the hatches remaining closed. The air mast was also used for safety for the officer conning the boat when it was surfaced. To prevent him being washed overboard, a fate that befell X.4 during the early

The missile was launched from standard underwing bomb racks, each aircraft being able to carry four rounds. The pilot would select a missile, run up its stabilizing gyro, aim at the target with his PKS-12 reflector gunsight and then press a firing button which uncaged the gyro, started the rocket motor, initiated the fuze-arming process, ignited the tracer candles and released the round. a

XE.1-12 The success of the midgets in northern waters prompted the Admiralty to consider the possibility of using midgets in the Far East theatre of operations. Climatic conditions in the Far East were vastly different to those in northern Europe, and the distances to be covered much greater. It was therefore decided to retain the basic internal layout of the 'X' craft, but make them slightly larger and provide them with some refinements. The most important of these new features was the provision of air-conditioning, a necessity for operations in the Far East. Externally the two classes differed slightly. In the 'XE' craft the casing was extended flush right up to the bows which provided extra stowage space which had also been found to be necessary. They were also fitted with two spring-loaded legs forward and one aft. These, together with a slightly positive buoyancy, enabled the midget to come to rest directly under the target which thus meant that the explosive charges could be much more accurately placed under the target. The midget XE.3 carried out a successful operation on July 31, 1945 when she laid charges under the Japanese cruiser Takao which sank at her moorings in the Jahore Straits off Singapore. Of a total of 12 craft ordered only five were completed (XE.7-9, XE. 11-12), the others being cancelled. Of those completed XE.ll was lost in a collision in March 1945 and the wreck scrapped. The remaining craft were all British midget submarine class.

the company proposed to the USAAC in September 1941 a four-engined bomber along the same lines, having no fuselage or vertical tail surfaces and carrying all loads and controls inside a huge wing. The army air corps ordered two XB-35 prototypes, 13 YB-35s for service trials, and planned to have 200 B-35A production examples built by Martin, but the production contract was cancelled in favour of Boeing's B-29 Superfortress. The first XB35 flew on June 25. 1946 (preceded by four N9 one-third-scale development aircraft), and was powered by two Pratt & Whitney R4360-17 and two R-4360-21 Wasp Major engines, all of 3000 hp. These were mounted in the 37 .6 sq m (4000 sq ft) swept wing and drove pusher propellers. There was pressurized accommodation for a crew of nine plus six relief members, and the planned armament consisted of up to 20 0.5-in (12.7mm) guns, in seven remotely controlled turrets, and a 23 224-kg (51200-lb) internal bombload. Two of the YB-35s were converted to turbojet power, these being redesignated first as YB-35B and then YB-49. First flight of a YB-49, with eight 1814-kg (4000-lb) st Allison J35-A-5s installed, was made on October 21, 1947. On each side of each group of four exhausts, on the trailing edge, small vertical stabilizing fins were added above and below the wing. The intended armament was this,

This, at least, the latest information, but it is known that decision, taken in order, as much as anything else, to underline the US commitment to standardization, is being hotly contested by various factions in the US. Not only is there considerable doubt as to whether the 120-mm is very much better than the 105-mm. there is also the question of licensing agreements, which would complicate the possibility of export sales of the XM1. Under the present agreement, any XM-1 sold to a European country would have to be fitted with a German-built 120-mm gun. and this would add considerably to the cost. Only is

Service tests on the 1-26 began in June by which time the new fighter had shown sufficient promise for a series of evaluation machines to be ordered. With considerable foresight a trainer/liaison twoseat version was also developed at that stage, designated UTI-26. The main differences between the evaluation aircraft and the prototype were the relocation of the oil-cooler intake to a position just beneath the nose, a careful refining of the ventral radiator bath with consequent reduction in size, a increased fin and rudder area, and transfer of the carburettor intake to the wing roots.

She was built to the plans of Emile Bertin and was launched as Von July 24, 1905, at Toulon arsenal. The design was single-hulled with a unique diesel designed by Bertin himself, and was intended to operate on a close cycle, running submerged using compressed air. It was a total failure and Y never completed her trials. Replacement of the closed-cycle engine with an electric motor was considered as a desperate measure in December 1907 but this idea was dropped and the boat was stricken in May 1909.

seven machines had been demonstrated over Moscow by air force test pilots during the display celebrating the 1917 October Revolution. Operations with a service-test unit revealed a number of weaknesses which were tackled on the production line at the Moscow factory. These included problems with the fuel system and the pneumatics for the flaps and undercarriage. Early production aircraft were designated Yak-1 after the designer and were armed with one ShVak 20-mm (0.79-in) cannon firing through the propeller hub, and two synchronized 7.62-mm (0.30-in) ShKas machineguns in the upper decking of the engine. The four fuel tanks were installed in the wings and were protected by layers of toughened corded fabric. Maximum speed achieved was 540 km/h (336 mph) at 4000 m (13 100 ft). Loaded weight was higher than anticipated, at 2820 kg (6217 lb). The design bureau soon evolved a lighterweight version with a reduction to 2600 kg (5732 lb) maximum and the more powerful 1260-hp M-105PF engine, but by the end of June 1941, the month in which Germany invaded the Soviet Union, 355 of the original production version had been completed. The assembly lines at the Moscow factory had barely begun to turn out the 'new' Yak-1, when it was evacuated to Kamensk Uralski, 1600 km (1000 miles) to the east, and production was inevitably interrupted. Once output got under way armament was revised, the 20mm cannon being retained, but the two cowling machine-guns being replaced by a single heavy-calibre 12.7-mm (0.5-in) UB weapon. Frequently six underwing launchers for RS-82 rockets were fitted. During 1942 a field modification to the Yak1
was introduced
to give the pilot a better
view to the rear. The aft fuselage was cut down and the glazed canopy given a raised, curved aft section. This decided improvement was introduced on series Yak- Is from the beginning of 1943. This version was designated Yak-IM and was the last Yak-1 to be produced, assembly lines going over to the new Yak-3 when a total of 8721 of all versions of the Yak-1 had been completed. The Yak-1 fought from the earliest days of the German invasion of the Soviet Union at which time large-scale re-equipment with the type was in process. Within four months the battle for

aerodromes in which the regiments of the city's IA-PVO defence organization operated. From then onwards. Yak- Is were committed to all the
major battles of the Soviet-German conflict. Many leading scorers flew Yak-Is and YaklMs. They included Guards Major P A Pokryshev who had destroyed 30 enemy aircraft by the autumn of 1943. Many regiments flying the type were honoured by being designated 'Guards' units. The French Normandie-Niemen regiment was formed in the
Soviet Union at the end of 1942 and went into action flying Yak-lMs the following March. The French pilots were very impressed with the type and insisted later, when the time came for a replacement type, on selecting the Yak-3. Final production Yak- Is and most Yak-1 Ms had wings with more pointed tips and span increased to 10.25 (33 ft 8 in).

Yak-3, Yakovlev Soviet single-seat fighter aircraft. Late in 1942 a standard Yak-IM fighter was modified by the Yakovlev design bureau to take a wing of entirely new design with area reduced to 14.83 sq m (159.6 sq ft) and span of 9.2 m (30 ft 2 in). While the rest of the structure remained of wood, the spars were of light duralumin. A number of other changes were introduced to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. These included the revision of the radiator bath and its relocation further aft, a one-piece windscreen and retractable tail wheel. Test pilot S N Anokhin reported a top speed of over 640 km/h (400 mph), outstanding manoeuvrability at low altitude and a remarkable rate of climb. No time was lost in building a series of prototypes of the new fighter. These were desigYak-3 and introduced additional nated changes, principal of which was the positioning of the oil cooler in the port wing root instead of under the nose. The result was one of the cleanest and most carefully profiled piston-engined fighter aircraft ever produced. All was set for success, the powerplant selected being the tried and tested M-105P engine in its latest developed VK-105PF-2 version, offering 1300 hp at 800 m (2600 ft), when the first prototype crashed after losing the whole outer section of the port wing. The development programme was thus put back and state acceptance trials were not finished until
October 1943. Before then, however, an

Series aircraft reached operational units in ever-growing numbers during 1944 and the type soon made its mark as a low-altitude intercepter and in support of ground troops. A member of the expatriate French Normandie-Niemen regiment has described the method adopted by Yak-3 units performing bomber or ground-attack aircraft escort duties. A few minutes before the Pe-2s or II2m3s went into attack, the Yak-3s would fly over the target area, destroying enemy aircraft on the ground, fighting them in the air or preventing them from taking off. When the Petlyakovs or Ilyushins arrived, the Yak-3s would provide close cover until the end of the mission. The French fliers took their Yak-3s with them when they returned to France in June 1945, having scored more than 100 victories with the type. As early as October 1943 a Yak-3 was tested with the new VK.-I07 engine, but it
was not until early 1944 that the new 1650-hp VK-107A-powered Yak-3U prototype was flown. The Yak-3U was extensively redesigned and was of all-metal construction, with fuselage and wings covered with a
light-
alloy stressed skin. Compared with the earlier engine the new powerplant was bigger and heavier, and in order to establish the centre of gravity correctly the pilot's cockpit of the Yak-3U was moved further aft. Nose weight was also saved by introducing a revised armament comprising two lightweight B-20 20-mm (0.79 in) cannon in the nose decking which saved a total of 35 kg (77 lb) compared with the ShVak cannon plus two heavy machine-guns of the Yak-3. Full scale pro-
duction did not commence until November 1944 and the Yak-3U was only in limited service when Germany surrendered. It was described in test reports as being superior in speed, rate of climb and manoeuvrability to any known fighter in the world. Experimental versions of the Yak-3 included the Yak-3TK with turbo-supercharger for the high-altitude interception role and the rocket-assisted Yak-3R. A total of 4848 Yak-3s and Yak-3Us were built up to the spring of 1946 when production finally ceased. The Yak-3U left front-line service during 1948. The Yak- 11 basic trainer of 1946 was evolved from the Yak-3 via the ASh-21 radial-engined trainer prototype known as Yak-3UTI which flew the previous year.

A
specialized
reconnaissance variant, the R-12, was tested at the same time and had the bomber's internal bay (capable of taking 200 kg [440 lb] of bombs) adapted to carry flares, and also had provision for an AFA camera. Soon afterwards the 1-29 fighter prototype took the air, armed with two 7.62-mm (0.30-in) ShKas machine-guns and two 20-mm (0.79-in) ShVak cannon fixed to fire forward in the
bottom of the fuselage. The bomb bay was adapted to carry ammunition for the guns. Only the BB-22 version was selected for development. Yakovlev's design had almost perfect contours. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of mixed construction and the wing was finely tapered with curved tips. The 960-hp M-103 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engines had long and carefully streamlined nacelles into which the main undercarriage units retracted. The tailplane had ovalshaped twin fins and rudders and the pilot's enclosed cockpit was located well forward, just behind the nose. In the original prototype
the observer had been located under a separate sliding glazed canopy, just above the wing trailing edge and built flush with the

signaled Yak-2, uas modified to locate the observer/gunner immediately behind the pilot under a continuous glazed canopy. The smooth fuselage contours were retained, however, as the canopy remained flush with the rear fuselage decking. Several examples flew over Moscow during the 1940 May Day
parade. As a result of VVS testing, the whole design was soon radically modified. The crew canopy was raised above the level of the rear fuselage but the single fixed forward-firing ShKas gun armament was retained, while the single ShKas for the observer was carried on a heavy standard mounting, instead of the previous lightweight pintle-mounted arrangement. The M-103 engines were replaced by I050-hp M-105s driving VISh-22 three-blade propellers. Each main undercarriage leg had twin wheels, but the original retracting tail-
wheel arrangement was retained, as was the internal bomb bay. There was provision for four bombs each of up to 100 kg (220 lb) to be carried on external racks located one either side under the wing between fuselage and engine nacelle and one either side just outboard of the engine. The pilot was protected by a 9-mm (0.354-in) armour backplate. The revised aircraft had a lower performance, but nevertheless went into production in 1940 as the Yak-4. Production terminated in 1942 when 600 had been completed. The Yak-4 was heavily engaged during the opening months of the Soviet Union, but inadequate against

Yak-7, Yakovlev and
two-seat liaison/fighter trainer aircraft. The two-seat Yak-7, derived from the M-105PF-engined version of the Yak-1, had a second cockpit with additional glazed panels located behind the pilot's cockpit. It had full dual control and was armed with a single 12.7-mm (0.5-in) UB machine-gun fixed in the engine canopy to port and synchronized to fire through the propeller disc. The radiator bath was moved forward to balance the weight of the instructor and was of more angular outline. The main legs of the undercarriage were greatly simplified, the inboard axle forks with compression scissors of the Yak-1 being eliminated in favour of direct attachment of the wheels to the oleo legs. This in turn enabled the two-piece undercarriage fairing plates to be replaced by single-piece units. Soviet

Both versions frequently operated with fixed ski undercarriages in winter. Alongside the two-seat aircraft was built the Yak-7A single-seat fighter, which replaced the earlier Yak-1 version during the first months of 1942. The Yak-7A could easily

Yak-9, Yakovlev Soviet single-seat fighter.
Most famous
of
Aleksander Yakovlev's wartime fighters and the type produced in the greatest numbers, the Yak-9 originated from an experimental modification to a standard Yak-7 fighter in the early months of 1942. Designated Yak-7DI. the machine had a wing in which steel spars replaced the original wooden box spars. As a result weight was reduced and more space was available for fuel tankage. Tests in mid1942 indicated a range increased from 820 km (510 miles) to 910 km (570 miles). Developed into the Yak-9 for series production, a number of minor improvements were incorporated in the design. Chief external differences compared with the Yak-7B were the fitting of a retractable tail wheel with twin doors and the aerodynamic refinement of the under-nose oil-cooler intake. The simplified, robust, wide-track, inwardretracting main undercarriage legs of the Yak-7 were retained, as was the raised, aftsliding canopy of the Yak-7B. As a further weight-saver, armament was reduced to the nose cannon and a single 12.7-mm (0.5-in)

machine-gun.
The operational career of the Yak-9 began in the autumn of 1942 and it made its mark in the fierce air battles at Stalingrad and over the Kuban. Yakovlev had maintained his policy of keeping the design as simple as possible in order to maintain production at a high rate without relying too heavily on

The need to increase range yet further led to the Yak-9D with 650-litre (143-Imp gal) 1360-hp M-105PF-3 fuel capacity and a engine which drove a VISh-105S propeller in place of the VISh-61P previously standard.

Yak-9 and its designer had not, however, been without its setbacks. Yakovlev and his colleagues were summoned to the Kremlin on June 3, 1943 and were reprimanded by Stalin because a number of Yak-9s had lost large strips of their plywood and canvas wing covering in flight and a number had been grounded as a result. The fault was soon traced to poor quality dope and strenuous efforts put matters right within a month, just in time for the great battles in the Kursk Salient. Many Soviet aces notched up high scores

Yak-10/12, Yakovlev Soviet liaison and general -purpose aircraft. Yak- 10 flew in prototype form in 1946. It was a three/four seat, parallel-chord high-wing Vstrut-braced monoplane powered by an M-ll five-cylinder engine in a helmeted cowling. Wheel spats were provided. After only 40 Yak- 10s had been built, production was switched to an extensively revised version, redesignated Yak-12. The Yak-12 had a less deep fuselage than its predecessor and, among other refinements, had a much more extensively glazed cabin raised above the level of the rear fuselage upper decking to improve all-round visibility. It retained the mixed wood and metal construction of the Yak- 10. Early production machines were powered by the 160-hp M-l 1 FR-1 engine and were followed in 1952 by the 240-hp AI-14Rpowered Yak-12R, which had a two-blade variable-pitch propeller. This version was also adapted for glider towing. The Yak-12M appeared in 1955. It was of steel-tube construction with wood and metal covering, except for the fabric-covered control surfaces. It introduced the extended metal fin which became a feature of all later Yak-12s. Licence production began in Poland the following year. The 1957 Yak-12A had entirely redesigned wings and a wire-braced tailplane. The wings had single-strut bracing and the cabin glazing was extended. Among other improvements were the fitting of automatic leading-edge slots in place of the fixed slats of previous versions. The Yak-12A has at Swidnik, also been built in Poland by the definitive Polish version being designated P.Z.L.101 Gawron. Soviet Yak- 12s have served widely with the VVS and DOSAAF, the paramilitary training and propaganda organization, largely for training or liaison duties.

Nevertheless the Yak-9U acquitted itself well and played a part in the final battles over Germany. The last of the Yakovlev piston-engined line was the Yak-9P of 1946.

Yamagumo of this class are characterized by their high freeboard, which is much greater than other destroyers. Like other Japanese destroyers built since the mid-1960s they have a pronounced sheer forward with knuckle at the bow. This design feature does much to cut down the amount of water shipped over the forecastle area in the rough seas of the Pacific.
The staff requirement for these vessels stipulated that they should concentrate on the A/S role and only minimal gun armament of two twin 3-in (76-mm) mounts is carried for self-defence. Antisubmarine armament conof an eight-barrelled Asroc launcher amidships between the two funnels, a four-barrelled A/S rocket launcher in B position in front of the bridge and two triple A/S torpedo tubes sited high up abreast the after funnel.

Yamato Japanese battleship class.
Work on the
super-
battleships of the Yamato Class began in 1934, in direct contravention of the Washington Treaty limits. The Japanese realized they
had not the industrial capacity to match the United States should war break out between the two countries. The design requirement therefore was to provide a class of ships which would outclass any other battleship then known to be under construction, and to maintain their superiority for a number of These ships were to outclass in speed, range, armament, and protection any ship that might be built in the near future and to be capable of engaging on equal terms other groups of warships. Experiments carried out on the hull of the incomplete Tosa provided much valuable information on which to base the design. A new bridge layout and fireyears.
was tested in Hiei. The design excelled in all that the Japanese set out to achieve. The main armament was unmatched, the 18-in (457-mm) guns mounted control direction
having been originally designed for a class previously cancelled under the terms of the Washington Treaty. The increasing growth of carrier air forces, not the least the experiments and trials being conducted in Japan, led the designers to specify what was at the time an exceptionally heavy armament. The initial plan drawn up in 1935 provided for a ship of 69 500 tons displacement, a length of 294. 1 (965 ft) and beam of 41 1 (135 ft) with nine 18-in guns in triple turrets all mounted forward of the bridge as in the British Nelson Class. Secondary armament consisted of 12 6-in (152-mm) (guns which

and 24
AA. Turbines producing 200000
horsepower were specified to develop a speed of 31 knots and a radius of 8000 shaft
nautical miles at 18 knots. To mislead foreign intelligence the ships were stated to carry 16in
(406-mm) guns.
The design, however, proved
to be
beyond
the engineering capabilities of the Japanese, turbines of such power not being available, and in the time specified for construction it
was unlikely
that such powerful turbines could be developed. The requirements were therefore modified and a maximum speed of 27 knots was then specified. Following the redefined staff requirement a further 21 plans incorporating various modifications on the original plan were drawn up. The final plan as accepted provided for a smaller ship of 62000 tons with a mixed propulsion plant of two turbine-driven shafts developing a total of 75000 shp and two diesel-driven shafts developing a total of 60000 bhp. Armament remained the same as in the original design but was sited on a conventional layout of A, B and Y turrets for the main armament with the secondary and light AA centred amidships. The diesels chosen were of the two-cycle double-acting similar type, but diesels mounted in other vessels had given problems and as protection around the engine room was to be of 203-mm (8-in) armour plate it would be impossible to remove defective
engines. It was therefore decided to replace the two diesels with two turbines identical to those already planned. This would then theoretically give the ships a total of 150000 shaft horsepower. This design was finally passed in March 1939. just two years and five months after the initial request for the design had been placed. As soon as the design was passed an order for two ships (Yamato and Musashi) was placed with the Kure navy yard and Mitsubishi of Nagasaki, respectively, under the 3rd Reinforcement Programme of 1937. Under the 4th Reinforcement Programme of 1939 two more battleships were ordered, the Shinano from the Yokosuka navy yard and

from the Kure navy yard. Work two battleships proceeded Yamato being laid down on November 4. 1937, launched August 8. 1940 and completed on December 16, 1941.

mention of 787, 798 and 799. Yamato and Musashi received continuous alterations to their armament during the war. In the autumn of 1943 the beam 6. 1-in turrets
were removed. They were replaced in what was hoped to be a temporary measure by 12 25-mm, the intention being to replace these by six twin 5-in turrets. Yamato received these in February 1944 when undergoing repair after being torpedoed by the US submarine Skate in December 1943. Both vessels carried varying outfits of light AA. at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 Musashi having 12 5-in and 115 25-mm. Musashi was finally sunk at the Battle of Leyte Gulf after being hit by a total of 20 torpedoes and 17 bombs. Yamato also received a number of hits during the battle and suffered some flooding. She returned home for repairs when she was given more 25-mm guns to give her a total of 146 25-mm. Yamato was sailed on a final suicide mission in April 1945. the plan being for her to run herself aground on the island of Okinawa to bombard US positions. Before she reached Okinawa, Yamato was sunk on April 7 by US naval aircraft after being hit by 11 tor-

A further difference from US practice is that the Yankees do not operate on a two-crew basis. This places severe restrictions on the number of boats on patrol at any one time. Most units of the Yankee Class are in the Northern Fleet, with about eight boats in the Pacific.

Yastreb Soviet torpedo boat or light destroyer class, A class intended to remedy the deficiencies of the Shtorm Class was started four years after the completion of that class. Known as the Ptitsi (birds) Class, they were diminutives of the contemporary Silny Class destroyers, but the first or Yastreb Group had to sacrifice the torpedo tubes and one gun to reduce topweight. Yastreb, Oryol, Berkut, Sokol and Voron were built by Gryf, Zhdanov yard, Leningrad (the builder of Kondor is not known, and one other was built at Zhdanov). It is not known how many of these were completed, but German sources claim that three were completed by 1944. A further eight were ordered for the Far East and Black Sea. Albatross, Krechet, Chaika, Fregat and Ortolan were built at Nikolaiev and then shipped to the Far East. Six unnamed vessels were laid down at the 61 built 1939-44.

10000 tons permitted by the Washington Treaty of 1922. In this the British were adopting the same policy as most of the other major naval powers but it was soon realized that the existing financial climate would not allow for the construction of sufficient numbers of these vessels to meet the needs of the Royal Navy. It was therefore decided to give consideration to the production of a smaller vessel which could serve as a trade protection cruiser leaving the larger type for work with the battlefleet. The first of these cruisers, York, provided under the 1926-27 Prolaid down by Palmers in 1927, launched in 1928 and completed in 1930. In design she was virtually a small edition of the 10000-ton with displacement type the restricted to 8440 tons by reducing the number of twin 8-in (203-mm) turrets from four to three, two forward and one aft, and
gramme, was
cutting down the hull structure by limiting length and beam and abandoning the flush deck in favour of a stepped forecastle. The machinery was of equal power, giving a slightly greater speed and protection was substantially improved by fitting 76-mm (3-in) side armour abreast the machinery and heavier internal armour to the magazines. The result was far from satisfactory as it did not provide a solution to the original problem of numbers. The ship was still too large to be built in quantity and was moreover inferior in gunpower and seaworthiness to the 10000ton type. Only one more was built before the Admiralty decided that the only real solution was the construction of much smaller 6-in (152-mm) gun cruisers. The second ship was York's half sister, Exeter, provided under the 1927-28 Programme and built by Devonport dockyard during 1928-31. She differed from York in having 30.5 cm (12 in) more beam to improve stability, vertical, instead of raked, masts and funnels and a modern streamlined bridge, of box rather than tier construction, which gave her a markedly different profile. As a result of these changes the Exeter's design displacement was 1 10 tons greater than that of York but weight savings during construction actually produced a reduction of about 240 tons in York and 160 tons in Exeter. On completion York joined the Home Fleet but transferred to the North America and West Indies station in 1934 where she became flagship of the commander-in-chief. After the outbreak of war in 1939 she was employed on the Atlantic trade routes until 1940 when she joined the Home Fleet. After the Norwegian campaign she transferred to

Salvage operations began but during the following weeks she was continually subjected to air attacks which caused still further damage. Following the German invasion of Crete it was decided that she could not be saved and she was eventually abandoned on May 22, 1941. In 1947 a

York, served initially in the Fleet and then went to the North America and West Indies station in 1935 where she remained (apart from a period in the Mediterranean during 1936) until the outbreak of war. In the first weeks of the war she was employed searching the South Atlantic for German raiders which culminated in her most famous action the Battle of the River Plate in which she was the most severely damaged of the three British cruisers which engaged Graf Spee on December 12. 1939. At the end of the battle her entire main armament was out of action, the superstructure was riddled with shell and splinter holes, she had 84 casualties and her speed was reduced to 20 knots. After temporary repairs at the Falkland Islands she sailed home where she was repaired and refitted at Devonport dockyard during February 1940March 1941. During this time her single 4-in Exeter, like

On completion of the refit she joined the Home Fleet but in mid- 1941 she transferred to the Eastern Fleet and was operating in the Far East when the Japanese entered the war in December 1941. Two months later on February 25, 1942 she was heavily damaged in action with Japanese warships during the Battle of the Java Sea and had to withdraw from the action and retire to Sourabaya.

on either side, to permit engine running and dispel gasoline vapour without the need for ventilation fans. The forward openings on either side marked the position of a fixed athwartships catapult which could be fired in either direction. The use of this was limited 1943 the catapult was removed from the only surviving unit, Enterprise. Two catapults were fitted at the forward end of the flight deck and nine arrester wires and three safety barriers were fitted aft. The catapult and arrester gear units were modified during the ships' lives to accept heavier aircraft. Designed to operate 80 aircraft, by the end of 1941 they carried a standard load of 72. By June 1942 they carried 79, including 25 fighters, 37 dive bombers and 12 torpedobombers. By 1943 Enterprise was carrying 78 of the heavier, later types, a score of them in a permanent deck park.

Yorktown was laid down on May 21, 1934, and launched just under two years later, on April 4, 1936. Commissioned in September she joined the Fleet early in 1938, in the Caribbean before proceeding to the Pacific. On the first day of the Battle of the Coral Sea, in May 1942, Yorktown's, aircraft sank the Japanese light carrier Shoho in an overwhelming 10-minute attack. On the next day she was hit by a 250-kg (550lb) bomb which started fires but did not affect her efficiency. She was repaired at Pearl Harbor in only four days and on May 31 she sailed to join her sisters. In the battle which followed Yorktown was severely damaged by Hiryu's dive- and torpedo-bombers, sustaining three 250-kg bomb and torpedo hits. Three days later she was taken in tow by a tug. At 1330 hours on June 2, however, she was hit by two torpedoes fired by the submarine 1-168. Flooding spread slowly and she finally capsized at dawn on June 7, 1942. See also Enterprise.

The extremely simple design was based to some extent on Ha 101 and production began in 1943 at the Kasado Iron Works. Hitachi shipbuilding company and Kudamatsu. They had no offensive capability and only a minimal gun armament for self-defence. They had a cargo capacity of 40 tons. Radius of action was 1500 nautical miles at 8 knots surfaced, and 32 nautical miles at 4 knots
submerged. They were manned entirely by army personnel and only YU 10 and YU 12 survived the war to be subsequently scrapped after sinking in a storm.

The
Japanese cruiser. Under the 1917 Programme a small cruiser, the Ayase, was projected. She was to have been fitted with experimental machinery but the project never materialized. The order was transferred to the 1922 Estimates and the vessel renamed Yubari. In the intervening period the design had been considerably altered and with the Washington Treaty soon to be implemented a new requirement had been defined. Designed by Vice-Admiral Y Hiraga, responsible for so many of Japan's revolutionary designs between the wars, Yubari set out to test the limits to which cruiser design could be stretched. Displacement was purposely restricted to 2900 tons and on this small displacement Admiral Hiraga attempted to design a ship that would have the speed and firepower of a 5000-ton cruiser. In effect Japan was attempting, even at the outset, to circumvent the Washington Treaty limits. If the design was successful Japan could build to her maximum allotted tonnage and have nearly twice as many cruisers of a certain firepower than the treaty reasonably provided for. At that time the standard armament of light cruisers was the 6-in (152-mm) gun, Japanese light cruisers usually having 5.5-in (140-mm). To achieve the maximum possible broadside Hiraga sited his main armament on the centreline, a total of six 5.5-in being carried in two twin turrets in B and X positions, and two

single mounts in open shields in and Y positions. By this expedient Hiraga achieved his aim of a broadside of six guns and at the
same time saving weight by having two of the guns in single open shields. Furthermore, he achieved a heavier weight of fire aft (a total

Obviously in a cruiser of such small size, Hiraga could not fit turbines of the same power that a 5000-ton cruiser carried. Nevertheless he managed to fit engines developing 57900 hp (as against the 90000 hp of the 5000-ton cruisers) on three shafts and thereby achieved his aim of obtaining the same maximum speed as a 5000-ton cruiser, namely 35.5 knots.

derived from the Bristol Britannia fourturboprop commercial airliner, though both Canadian types had considerably longer fuselages and greater engine power. As Canadair design number CL-44, its civil (CL44D) development concentrated chiefly upon the CL-44D4, in which the entire rear fuselage and tail unit swung open sideways for direct loading of cargo. This facility was not required in the CL-44G military transport
version (RCAF designation CC-106), which had a pressurized fuselage with conventional side-loading of freight through double doors in the port side. Capable of carrying a 27433kg (60480-lb) payload, the first Yukon was completed in August 1959 and made its initial flight three months later, on November 15. The powerplant comprised four 5730-hp Rolls-Royce Tyne Mk 515/10 engines, making it Canada's first turboprop-powered aircraft to attain production status. Range with maximum payload was 3800 km (2360 miles); with maximum fuel and reduced payload. this could be extended to 9090 km (5650 miles).

Z.26 was sunk by gunfire from the British Trinidad and the destroyer Eclipse during an attack on a Murmansk convoy on March 29, 1942. Z.27 was sunk by the British cruisers Glasgow and Enterprise in the Bay of Biscay on December 28, 1943. Z.23 was scuttled at La Pallice near Rochefort on August 21, 1944, after damage by RAF bombers, and four days later Z.24 was driven ashore by rocket fire from aircraft near Le Verdon. Z.28 was sunk by bombs at Sassnitz on March 6, 1945, and the surviving three fell into Allied hands in May. Z.25 became the French Hoche in 1946 and served until 1957. Z.29 was ceded to the United States but scuttled in the Skagerrak in 1946; Z.30 was used by the Royal Navy for various tests and was finally sunk as a target in 1948. In September 1939 a repeat order was placed for seven more ships of a slightly modified 1936A (Mob) Type; Z.31-34 from AG Weser and Z. 37-39 from Germania, Kiel. They were similar in general appearance, but only Z.31 was completed with the single C36 15-cm gun forward. After battle damage she was rearmed at the beginning of 1945 with a single 10.5-cm (4. 1-in) AA gun forward. Z.32 was driven ashore by the gunfire of the Canadian destroyers Haida and Huron off Ushant on June 9, 1944. Z. 37 was scuttled at Bordeaux on August 24, 1944. The survivors fell into Allied hands in 1945: Z.31 was the French Marceau from 1946 to 1956; Z.33 was the Soviet Provorny for about the same time; Z.38 became HMS Nonsuch and served in the Royal Navy until 1949.

In
same time as the design was finalized for the von Roeder Class, work began on a Type 1936A armed with 15-cm (5.9-in) guns. The rationale is curious, for 1936, at the
experience with cruiser-calibre guns in the S. 113 in 1918 had shown that they were too clumsy and slow-firing for destroyers. The explanation is probably that the Germans hoped to offset the Royal Navy's overwhelming superiority in destroyers and light cruisers by somehow bridging the gap. The other reasons were probably psychological; the Japanese, French and Italians had all built large destroyers and Germany would not want to be left behind. The clipper bow introduced in Karl Galster
was retained, but the machinery was no more successful and it was a standing joke in the Kriegsmarine that these destroyers suffered from rickets. The layout was similar, but with a twin mounting forward. Eight ships were

had been a failure in the Z.23 Class, partly because it took up too much internal space and partly because at 100 tons it put too much weight too far forward for good seakeeping. Accordingly the following I936B type returned to the single I2.7-cm (5-in) gun as in the von Roeder Class. In any case the growing need to find space for AA would have meant a reduction in the number of 15-cm guns.

prototype for a diesel-driven destroyer with greatly increased range. The hull was based on the 1938B project, but with a forecastle for improved seakeeping. A new 13.4-cm (5.3-in) dual-purpose single mounting was available and a new quadruple 3.7-cm (1.46in). The most advanced feature of the design V12Z 32/44 was the use of high-speed diesels, on each wing shaft and four on the centre shaft. An endurance of 1 3 500 nautical miles was expected at the cruising speed of 19 knots, but tests on the engines showed that little more than 5500 nautical miles would have been achieved in practice.

Although of smaller calibre the 4.5 fired a 25-kg (55-lb) shell, 2.3 kg (5 lb) heavier than that of the 4.7-in and in most respects it was considered superior. The mounting was simply a slightly modified version of the 4.7-in 55° single fitted in the 'S'

To compensate in part for the added topweight two single 20-mm (0.79-in) guns were fitted abafl the funnel instead of twins, as in the except in the Zambesi.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Zara, Fiume and Gorizia formed the 1st Cruiser Division, while Pola was the flagship of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron. In June 1940 Pola took part in a sweep to hunt for the cruiser HMS Caledonand HMS Calypso, and in the same month Zards division supported a raid on French shipping by light cruisers and destroyers. All four were in action at the battle of Calabria but sustained no damage. Pola was hit by a torpedo from one of HMS Formidable s torpedo-bombers while escorting the damaged battleship Vittorio Veneto in March 1941. Rear-Admiral Cattaneo was ordered to take Z«raand Fiumeback to try to get their sister in tow, but they were later picked up on radar by HMS Valiant one of the three battleships with Admiral Cunningham's Mediterranean Fleet. At less than 3660 m (4000 yards) Zara was suddenly lit up by a searchlight, and immediately hit by five out of Warspite's opening salvo of six 15-in(380mm) shells. Fiume was hit by all four 15-in shells from Valiant's forward turrets, and then the battleships turned their guns on the four destroyers, crippling Alfieri and Carducci. Finally the immobile Pola tried to scuttle herself but was torpedoed by the destroyers Jerxis and Nubian. The Battle of Cape Matapan was the most decisive naval engagement in European waters, and the British sustained no casualties. Gorizia was finally sunk at her moorings at La Spezia on June 26, 1944, after falling into

acoustic torpedo. Following the introduction of the T4 Falke in January 1943 the next version was introduced rapidly. Known in Germany as the T5 Zaunkonig (jenny wren), it soon became known to Allied (German naval acousintelligence as tic torpedo). There were two types of T5, one with a round nose and one flat, but both used an amplitude comparison system known as Amsel. Experiments had started as far back as 1936, and the speed of 25 knots had been chosen to avoid the effects of self -noise. The T5 had a capability against ships travelling at 12-19 knots. The flat-nosed T5 carried four magnetostriction hydrophones wired in alternating pairs, with a phase delay between the sets of pairs to a maximum electrical output for sound arriving at about 25° to the horizontal axis of the torpedo. The amplitude in each pair of hydrophones was compared by switching to a comparator at 100 Hz. and the rudders were then swung to steer the torpedo towards the side receiving more noise. The round-nosed T5 had a bakelite cap, which protected two hydrophones. Each was placed behind a baffled funnel to give maximum sensitivity at the same approximate 25° angle to the torpedo's axis as in the flat-nosed version. The funnels and the cap were fitted with glycerine and ethylene glycol to give the best acoustic transmission to the hydro-

phones.
The T5 has been credited with considerable success, and a post- 1945 report claimed that
6000 were fired in action. But although over 2500 runs were made during development only 640 were fired in service by U-Boats. The Germans claimed a hit-rate of 53%. but careful investigation of the records shows a true hit-rate of only 6%. The Germans were pleased with the T5 and went ahead with the Tl or Zaunkonig 2. The 1

ZB26 and 30 Czech small-arms. When the Zbrojovka Brno arms factory was set up after the First World War, one of its first objectives was to develop a light machine-gun, something which the armies of the world were all in need of. After an experimental model known as the vz24, the first production model was the ZB26, a weapon which has become one of the immortals. It was a gas-operated machine-gun in which the bolt was locked by tilting up into a recess in the receiver. Feed was from a topmounted magazine, and the finned barrel could be quickly changed by operating an interrupted-lug locking handle. So far as this basic design went, it was not much better than several contemporaries, but it was

allowed it to be used for sustained fire roles. After some experience with the ZB26 the designers made some minor changes. The surfaces of the bolt were changed to improve extraction and locking, the firing pin was altered, and the gas cylinder shortened very slightly. Both the ZB26 and ZB30 were sold in large numbers throughout the world.

was stricken in April 1913. Izumrud and Zemchug both left Libau with the ill-fated Pacific Squadron sent under Admiral Nebogatov via the Suez Canal to reinforce the Port Arthur squadron, and met the Japanese at the Battle of Tsushima on May 27, 1905. Izumrud suffered slight damage during the battle and used her speed to escape from the encircling Japanese cruisers. Despite a burst steam pipe and other damage she reached Vladivostok, but while trying to avoid the waiting Japanese ran aground in a bay some 300 km ( 86 miles) north of the port. On May 30 she was abandoned and blown up to avoid capture. Zemchug suffered 36 casualties during the battle but escaped southwards with Oleg and Aurora to Manila, where they were interned on June 7. All three ships were returned to the Russian navy in September and Zemchug returned to Vladivostok. In August 1914 she 1

They were armed with Skoda 120-mm (4.7-in)guns sided on the forecastle and poop and sponsoned in the waist. Zenta was the fastest of the class, reaching 21.87 knots on trials; Aspern was the slowest at 20 knots because her hull was sheathed with copper for foreign 1
service.
Zenta was sunk by the gunfire of a French squadron of battleships off Antivari on August 16, 1914. The two survivors were each given a 66-mm (2. 6-in) L/45 AA gun in 1917 but were disarmed at Pola the following year. Aspern became an accommodation ship and Szigetvdr was used as a target for the torpedo school. Both ships were allotted to Great Britain in 1920 but were scrapped in Italy.

rigid airship series.
Unquestionably,
the military rigids produced by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin company during the First World War were the most successful in terms of design, construction and performance. Between 1908 and 1918, a total of 104 were acquired for the German army and navy. Design policy was not afflicted with the crises which delayed the development of British military rigids. A reasonable construction programme was laid down and adhered to, so particularly in the war yearsthat schedules could be measured in weeks. By contrast, the history of the British wartime rigids was a kaleidoscope of changing policy, aborted projects, sudden, almost desperate modifications and late completion dates. One of the principal causes of these crises was the endeavour to shorten the design lead held by

the Zeppelin and Schiitte-Lanz companies. The Zeppelin rigid had few close competitors. One of them was the Schiitte-Lanz
whose hull members were constructed of glued wooden laminates. Theoretically, rigid
the idea had considerable merits, but in practice it was found that the quality of wood was inconsistent, and that the adhesive lacked the bonding properties necessary for such large structures. Only towards the very end of the war when it was too late did the Schiitte-Lanz company follow Zeppelin practice and begin the building of ships with metal frameworks. None of these were completed. Nevertheless, the 22 Schiitte-Lanz craft that

The gondolas were also watertight so that LZ 1 could take off from and descend on water. A four-cylinder Daimler gasoline engine was mounted in each gondola, and drive was transmitted through shafting and bevel gears to four 1.22 (4 ft) diameter propellers fixed to the hull on brackets. Control surfaces were primitive, and consisted of two pairs of rudders one pair at the bows and the other fitted against the hull sides aft. There were no elevators; attitude was controlled by the fore and aft movement of a lead weight slung under a girder walkway between the two gondolas.

short-range semirigid and non-rigid reconnaissance craft. Yet despite criticism, von Zeppelin began 2. with finance once again from work on private sources. Ludwig Diirr. who had joined the count at the age of 21 in 1899. was responsible for the design of the new ship and over a hundred of its far more sophisticated successors. 2 was smaller than the first 126.19 ship (414 ft) long but was vasdy improved. Triangular-section girder now replaced the weak longitudinals, the horse power of the engines was uprated, and the lead trimming weight dispensed with. Elevators were fitted to the hull. Despite the changes, the new ship had handling faults. In 1906 she was destroyed by a storm. After publicly announcing his abandonment of airship construction, von Zeppelin soon changed his mind. With further financing, this time from a lottery encouraged, surprisingly, by the war ministry and an interest-free loan from the Motor LuftschifTStudien Gesellschaft (airship study association) work on 3 started in May 1906. The ship was to prove a success; not only did she perform well during trials, but after modification was commissioned into the army. On her first flight on October 9, 1906 she carried 1 passengers and was airborne for over two hours. Von Zeppelin then proposed that the war ministry buy the ship for 500000 marks, together with two other craft as yet unbuilt. The dimensions of the new ship were identical with those of 2, but the gas volume was increased to 1 1 433 cu (403 600 cu ft). LZ Js engines were probably those salvaged from her predecessor. Modification to the ship was carried out during the summer of 1907. There was an extension fore and aft of the external triangular keel, and quadriplane elevators were mounted on the hull sides at bow and stern. It was these elevators which enabled the ship to make a dynamic or powered ascent. Later known more graphically as 'heavy takeoff', this meant that the ship could fly despite having a certain amount of negative

Based for most of her career at Metz, she was used for further crew training programmes until her deletion in March 1913. The success of LZ 3 marked the turning point for the Zeppelin company: the army had committed itself to the rigid airship as a weapon, and the navy were to do so in 1912.

formidable and was never to be surpassed by any other nation. At the outbreak of war the German navy had only one Zeppelin in commission, while the army could muster seven. A year later, the navy total had risen to eight, while the army had six Zeppelins in service. The ratio in favour of the navy was to increase dramatically as the army ships, mainly confined to bombing and reconnaissance missions on the Eastern and Western Fronts, proved vulnerable to fighter interception and antiaircraft Few of the lost ships were replaced. In conjunction with the navy, army Zeppelins took part in one or two raids against England. It was the naval airship division under the leadership of Korvettenkapitan (equivalent of commander) Peter Strasser who promoted the Zeppelin and the Schiitte-Lanz ship as a strategic bomber. That philosophy is vividly fire.

in a
memorandum
Strasser sent to
Vizeadmiral Reinhard Scheer. commanderin-chief of the German High Seas Fleet in
August 1916. "The performance of the big airships," stated Strasser, "has reinforced my conviction that England can be overcome by means of airships, inasmuch as the coun-
means of existence through increasingly extensive destruction of cities, factory complexes, dockyards, harbour works with war and merchant ships try will be deprived of the
lying therein, railroads, etc." Strasser, of course, like the later 'the bomber will always get through' partisans, over-estimated the capability of the rigid airship in terms of its bombload. He also ignored the problems of navigation to target and the relatively low standard of skill in the
kg ( 10 lb), 58 kg ( 128 lb), 100 kg (220 lb). 300 kg (660 lb). Incendiary bombs, wrapped in tarred rope and holding a thermite charge, weighed approximately 12.7 kg (28 lb). The bomb racks were fitted amidships on either side of the airship keel and the bombs were released by switches in the control gondola. The heaviest bombload carried was by L 31 (builder's number, LZ 72) during a night raid on England on September 23, 1916. The load comprised four 300 kg, 40 100 kg and 60 incendiary bombs, and the total weight was 4196 kg (9250 lb). The Zeiss bombsight was mounted in the control gondola, and the ship's first lieutenant (or second in command) acted as bombardier. It was a precision optical instrument, 1
but lack of training in its operation tended to diminish its value. As the war progressed, British fighter interception of the Zeppelin bombers became a greater threat. As a countermeasure the ceiling of airships was increased until the later ships the so-called 'height climbers' could

Earlier height climbers had to sacrifice as much weight as possible to reach their maximum ceiling and thus their defensive armament was sometimes dispensed with. Until 1917. two 8-mm (0.315-in) Maxim machine-guns were mounted in the control gondola, two in the after engine car, one in each wing engine car, two or three on the dorsal platform and one on the tail platform. After 1917, only two Maxims were carried in the control car and. even then, these might be discarded.

also failed to mention the increasing efficacy of British fighter interception. It is quite conceivable that Strasser, who was an intelligent and highly competent airship commander, was deliberately exaggerating the rigid 's strategic potential in order to acquire craft and so enhance the power and prestige of the naval airship division. During the First World War naval rigid airships staged 46 Baltic raiding operations and 306 North Sea sorties, 177 ships flying over England and causing over £lj million worth of damage. They also made numerous scouting flights 971 over the North Sea and 220 over the Baltic. In all theatres the total airships lost was 53. It should be pointed out that aeroplane bombing raids over England towards the latter part of the war were more cost-effective. Generally speaking, the bombs carried by naval rigids covered a weight range of 50

under development in 1945. The Wirbelwind quadruple 20-mm (0.79-in) antiaircraft tank had been prematurely discontinued because the 20-mm shell no longer did significant damage to modern aircraft by 1944, and the immediate replacement was Ostwind, a similar PZ IV chassis and open-topped turret mounting a single 3.7-cm (1.46-in) gun. But though the shell from this was effective, the firepower was not sufficient, and in order to obtain the best combination of shell effect and rate of fire, it was decided to fit a quadruple 30-mm (1.18-in) Flak cannon into the Wirbelwind turret, calling the result the (destroyer).

driven in the air and in water by the same propellers, with only a change of gear ratio on entering the water. Zombi was a 76-cm (30-in) weapon designed for submarines, and intended to be capable of homing to a depth of 305 m (1000 ft). Zeta was an air-launched antisubmarine torpedo. The fifth weapon in the programme was Dewlap, intended for motor torpedo boats. In retrospect it is clear that the Z-weapon programme must bear much of the blame for the chaos which overtook British torpedo design in the 1950s and 1960s. Detailed design work was allowed to proceed when many basic components had not been designed, let alone developed. For example, one of the leading authorities on modern British torpedo history has stated that the homing range of Zonal and Zoster could not have been more than 140 m (150 yards), and even with modern technology it would be hard to find a radio altimeter small enough to fit into the space allowed. Although ludicrously extravagant, the Z-weapon programme did yield some positive results. The propulsion unit was to have been an opposed-cylinder engine working on pure oxygen and methanol. Zombi, Zonal and Zoster would have used a three-cylinder, six-piston engine developing 900 bhp, and the work done on hollow crankshafts later proved useful. The Zweapons were terminated in 1949, and were succeeded by the more realistic but equally unsuccessful Pentane project.

revolutionary performance. Five main types emerged out of a much larger series of ideas. Zonal was to be a ship-launched antiship torpedo. It was launched from a tube and then became airborne, skimming the sea at about 500 knots. It relied on ducted propellers and was supported by a pair of folding wings. On entering the water the wings would refold, and Zonal would then become a 60knot active homer. Its air-launched counter-
plane, produced for the home market in 1935, was converted to a light bomber for the
forces of General Chiang Kai-shek in 1938. This export model had a single 400-hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior R-985 engine, and some of the cabin seats were removed to accommodate a movable machine-gun. A rack for 136 kg (300 lb) of bombs was

A ZB30 was obtained and added
to the test, with the result that the report of
the testing committee said that "The ZB gun is of such outstanding design, workmanship and material to warrant further serious consideration." The only drawbacks were that it was designed for a rimless cartridge and the position of the gas port, near the muzzle, was not suited to the British cordite propellant. In 1932 the ZB company produced a specially made model, which had the gas port moved down to a position midway along the barrel, a
curved magazine, and other modifications to suit the British 0.303-in (7.7-mm) cartridge. This was the ZGB30 model, of which only one was ever made. The ZGB30 was brought to Britain by Vaclav Holek, its designer, and fired. A test of 18 936 rounds was fired without malfunction, resulting in the company being asked to make ten guns for extended trial, at £175 each. These dispensed with the finned barrel, used a drum-type rear sight, and had an improved recoil buffer inside the butt, and were known as the ZGB32 models. After extensive trials of these, some small modifications were asked for, the most important being a reduction of the rate of fire to 480-500 rds/min.
These, known as ZGB33, were tested in January 1934, over 140000 rounds being fired through them before any malfunction occurred. As a result of this and other punishing tests, the design was accepted for British use in late 1934 and went on to become the famous Bren gun. Calibre. 0.303 in (7.7

ZK383 Czech submachine-gun. This was designed by the Koucky brothers of Czeskoslovenska Zbrojovka in the early 1930s. In general form it was much like its contemporaries, with a
wooden stock, and side-mounted box magazine. Internally, though, it had some unusual features; the barrel could be quickly changed, and the bolt had a removable weight which allowed the rate of fire to be changed. With the weight in place the rate was 500 rds/min, but removing the weight and thus lightening the bolt stepped this up to 700 rds/min. A bipod was fitted, and it seems that the designers had in mind its use as a light machine-gun for infantry squads. Variant models which were produced at the same time were the ZK383H, with a bottom-mounted folding magazine, and the ZK383P for police use, with a simple rear sight and no bipod. perforated barrel jacket,

Test flights showed poor performance but good flying characteristics, and it was decided to produce the type as the Zubr (bison) as a backup to the more advanced P.Z.L.37 Los. A Bristol Pegasus-powered version was designated P.Z.L.30B/I and was known as the P.Z.L.30B/II after being fitted with a retractable ventral gun turret.

Production deliveries of the Zubr began in 1939. The retractable undercarriage assemblies imported from France continually caused problems during retraction, and these were never resolved satisfactorily. As a result the aircraft usually operated with the undercarriages permanently locked down. During 1939 most L.W.S. 4s were attached to the 3rd Training Dyon as bomber-trainers. Based at Malaszewicze aerodrome during the early
German
Blitzkrieg in September 1939, many were destroyed on the ground. Several surviving machines were reported to have been impressed by the Luftwaffe as operational trainers. The Poles had found it impossible to use them operationally against the invaders as the temporary landing ground did not
permit the aircraft to take off while carrying a
bombload. Series L.W.S. 4 aircraft had a twin-gun nose turret, a semiretractable twin-gun dorsal turret and a similar ventral turret.

Four twin 127-mm (5-in) guns were mounted on the deck edges and the original light AA armament consisted of four twin 25(1-in) licence-built Hotchkiss guns.

However, it scored the only direct bomb hit of the day, on the battleship South Dakota. At the end only nine Zeroes and 14 torpedo bombers remained.
When the 3rd Carrier Division sailed for the last carrier battle, leaving the Inland Sea on October 20, 1944, Zuiho had embarked only about 20 aircraft. Most of these were launched on October 24, and only a few fighters remained to defend the Fleet in the Battle of Cape Engano on the next day. Zuiho received one bomb hit in the first attack but remained in company while the other carriers were picked off until, six hours after the first attack, she became the prime target for around 60 aircraft and was eventually sunk.

They were built in the Sudomekh yard, Leningrad, and Yard 402. Severodvinsk. The 'Zulu' Class had nearly twice the displacement of the more numerous 'Whiskey' Class boats, which were laid down at about the same time, and were even more heavily influenced than the latter by the German Type XXI. It appears that a number of the earlier boats were fitted with the closed-cycle Walther propulsion system on the outer shafts, but the Soviet designers were no more able to solve the problems with this system than the Germans, and the original turbines were replaced by engines. diesel-electric These problems caused considerable delays in the construction programme, and the 'Zulu' Class boats did not become operational until the mid1950s. The early boats also had one or two pairs of 25-mm (1-in) AA guns built into the after end of the conning tower, following
German
practice in the Type XXI, and some even had a single 100-mm (3.9-in) gun fitted forward of the conning tower (the 'Zulu F variation).

This was a bastard calibre, used only once in the British experimental submarine X.l. Because of its limited use it is one of the most

5.25-in (133-mm) This new calibre was chosen in I934 for a new twin dual-purpose mounting for antiaircraft cruisers and the new King George V Class battleships to be laid down in 1937. It was
a reasonably successful gun but the design of turret made the mounting difficult to operate and maintain, and it was never popular. In addition it was complex to manufacture, and two of the Dido Class went to sea with 4. 5-in (ll4-mm) guns instead. Only one
mark was made.

This was the standard calibre for light cruisers in the Royal Navy, US and other navies.

A quadruple mounting was even considered for the British Edinburgh Class in 1937, however, this never entered service.

This calibre remained standard for nearly 20 years, being adopted by nearly all navies. The British pioneered its use in the Collingwood back in the 1880s, but the first modern mounting was in the Majestic Class of 1893. Then the Albion and Glory introduced the prototype of the all-round loading hydraulic turret (more correctly a 'hooded barbette') which was virtually unaltered for another 45 years.

Already in use in the 1880s. this gun was popular in the US and Japanese navies before the First World War. The US favoured it as the secondary armament of battleships, often in a unique double-storeyed turret, but the Japanese restricted its use to armoured cruisers. 8-in was selected in 1919-30 for a of scout cruisers intended for the Pacific, to give a decisive range advantage, and it was this which led to the adoption of the 8-in limit in the Washington Treaty.

The older Mk 15 1927 model fitted in the Baltimore Class was provided with RocketAssisted Projectiles (RAP) during the Vietnam war, and using these boosted shells the USS St Paul hit a target 51 km away. The British developed a very advanced Mk I 8-in twin mounting for its Kent Class heavy cruisers, with 70° elevation to allow it to be used against aircraft. In spite of the fact that the Mk I suffered from many teething troubles it was a formidable mounting and in 1926 Kent achieved a round every 12.6 seconds (nearly 5 rds/min).

The reason was that the heavier shell at a low muzzle velocity gave better ballistics, while the bigger forgings of the new gun provided more rigidity. The 13.5in gun was first mounted in the Orion Class battleships.

15-in (38-cm) Early in 1912 reports of the US and Japanese plans for 14-in gunned ships convinced the British Admiralty that a further increase in gunpower was needed and so a 15-in/42-cal was designed for use at sea, although bigger guns had been built late in the nineteenth century. It turned out to be the most successful naval gun ever designed, with all the qualities of the

So highly was the design of this turret regarded that in 1940 when a new battleship was required the Admiralty had no hesitation in using four spare 15-in turrets for Vanguard.

In 1916 both the Japanese and the Americans started work on ships with 16-in guns, the
of this calibre since the 1880s. These guns materialized in the Nagato and Colorado Classes, in twin mountings, and marked a big increase in range and shell weight over previous guns. The British responded by designing a 16-in/45-cal Mk I in 1920-21, but unfortunately were swayed by exaggerated respect for German ideas on first
battleship design. Instead of the successful formula of the 13.5-in and 15-in the new gun fired a lightweight shell at high muzzle veloc-

The only drawback to the I 18-in was its relatively short barrel, and to improve the ballistics a 45-cal II gun was ordered in December 1920 for a class of new battleships. This was known for security purposes as the 16-in/50-cal, but work stopped on the project in 1922. Two of the existing guns were scrapped in 1933 and the third, linered down to 16-in, went to Shoeburyness and lasted until 1947. In 1919, as a response to British developments, the US Bureau of Ordnance started work on its own 18-in I, a 48-cal design, followed by a 47-cal A. Only the second of these was completed and the barrel still lies at the Dahlgren, Virginia, Proving Ground. It was linered down to a 16-in/56-cal piece for experimental work and then back to
