Titans Of The Second World War

Another look at the German Komet plane, a rocket powered plane that was the only one of its kind used in combat in the 20th century. It had its drawbacks- too fast for pilots to hit targets, and its fuels were dangerous. Few were made.

Here we have the engine of a Lancaster bomber plane.

And here we have the Lancaster. This one was shipped to Europe in March 1945, and was too late to see combat, but bombers like this were the backbone of Bomber Command, flown by the RAF, RCAF, and other Allied air forces. It is strange, but these things meant to destroy are also beautiful.

Here we have a model sized.

The bomb bay beneath is open.

A Jeep of the era is seen close by.

Another icon of the War, and another example of a beautiful plane- the Spitfire.
