🇯🇵While tanks can provide excellent offensive firepower, they can’t always be easily transported to where they are needed. In the case of Japan during World War 2, this was usually achieved by using ships and rail lines to transport them to where they were needed. Facing difficult terrain and disrupted shipping routes, the concept of a flying tank became a promising concept to the Japanese military hierarchy. An exploration of this concept would lead to the creation of the Maeda Ku-6 tank glider. Article by Marko P. with Illustrations by Godzilla

★During the early 1930’s, the Royal Yugoslav Army Air Force (RYAF) was mainly equipped with old and obsolete biplane fighters. The introduction of a new fighter was desirable, but its development was hampered by the resistance of leading military officials, and pilots who still believed in the superiority of the biplane. Once Ikarus commenced production of the new high-wing IK-2, it readily demonstrated its superiority over the biplanes of the prior generation. Article by Marko P. with Illustrations by Carpaticus
