    Review: Lightweight, Optics-Ready 1911 Operator AOS 4.25"

    Sherman Firefly — The British Tiger Killer

    This was the AFV's equivalent of a lightweight boxer with the punch of a heavyweight. German tank crews made the black joke that one German tank was better than 12 American tanks, but they always had 13 tanks. This variation is part of the long line of changes that the M-4 underwent over the...

    Why Charles J. Loring, Jr.’s Medal of Honor Was Kept Secret

    I remember reading about him 40 years ago. Speculation that he was injured in the attack run, and he knew he was not going to make it, or he did not want to be a POW again. Either way, he was a warrior.

    British Mark I Tank — World War I Changed Everything

    History is the guide to the future. The German Army began WWII with inferior AVFs. Their crews were better trained, and the Germans employed better battlefield tactics. By the end of WWII, the Germans were creating 70 monsters that where all but useless on the battlefield. Today's 70-ton...

    Training B-17 Flying Fortress Gunners for Masters of the Air

    Memphis Bell was a long line of Hollywood disappointments related to war movies. Once bitten twice shy mind set. Glad that this seems to be more realistic than Hollywood.
