Good shit OP
>>65200058I'm a planefag, so most of my stuff is airplanes. Feel free to post armor, guns, arty pieces, etc.
>>65199999Neat and CHECKED
>>65200033>Waste paper helped ahip themWere they using compressed paper instead of coal to power steam locomotives or ship boilers for transport?
>>65200240Probably packing material in crates for the parts and such.

>>65200086>Ten thousand Hellcats aloneJesus the scale of that fucking war is mindboggling.
>>65199999Drone war LMAO

>>65202161BAEshills go away.
>>65201522checked, Grumman stopped making TBF Avengers at Bethpage—handed that plane off to be produced as the TBM by Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors— so they could spend rest of the war building only F6Fs.
>>65201522I wonder how many didn't even get to do anything and sat un depots as replacements. Sure there's some land-based usage, foreign sales and training, but the US carrier force was not THAT big.
>>65202879Far fewer than you probably think. The US lost nearly 3000 Hellcats over the course of WWII, and that excludes ones that were simply worn out and rotated out for ones that weren't. WWII aircraft were not at all built to last.
>>65200099Saved.
Great thread OP, nice work
>>65201522Yep. And we sent shit to the Brits, the Chinese, the Arabs.
>>65205393The USA didn't even give anything to USSR until 1942. The Bongs kept them in the fight for two years. Hell, they started a completely separate war just to open up a land route into Russia to do it.
>>65205549lol
>>65205402Aid to the soviets started in the summer of '41, with lend lease starting in October of that year. Considering the soviets weren't in the war until June 22 of '41 it's not like the US failing to ramp up aid until 1942 is some big gotcha.
>>65204422checked,/k/ Catalog should be filled with threads like this, it's an Imageboard.photograph, picture topics are the core of this board's mission (not in reality-practice unfortunately)
>>65205402We had been selling aid to Britain, Soviets, etc until lend lease was signed in March of '41.Then we gave away almost $700,000,000,000 on faith.
>>65202879>>65203784Attrition for Allied carrier operations (especially in the Pacific) was high outside of actual combat engagement, thousands of planes were not lost to enemy action or fire. Just returning to the aircraft carrier was hazardous enough. Loss of fuel, missing the arresting cable, smacking the deck too rapidly/hard, striking other parked aircraft on flight deck, crashing the barrier, explosion of residual fuel/fire. That's where most of the airframe losses and casualties occurred.
>>65206219Its interesting how relatively low the losses from aircraft were while the ratio of losses to shot down tend to dominate discussions.
>>65206207It should be, but lack of replies and overall contribution by others is apparent.The people who cared were driven off the board by the war tourists/shills.
>>65207700Sorry, I'd add if I had anything. This is a legimately cool thread and it's a shame I don't have much to contribute
>>65205549>Early 20th century ATF recruitment ad
>>65199990Also this famous Israeli trade-show video selling weapons to India for all-time cringehttps://youtu.be/ktQOLO4U5iQ
>>65207448What does 'other lights' entail here? Also where can I find the source for this?
>>65199990How about civilian advertisements from military companies
>>65212410
>>65212413
>>65212417There are a lot of posters Erik Nitsche made for GD in the 50s and 60s
Holy fuck why are General Dynamics adverts so aesthetic
Bump
>>65199999>those digits>that weapon BASED
>>65205549>book agents To those not in the know, "book agents" were the OG telemarketers, and they often would knock on your door at two times of the day, that being early morning when you are either about to go to work or are relaxing, or during the early evening when you have just gotten off work or are just relaxing. Needless to say, these people were very quickly hated.
>>65218255NTA but I was aware of the reputation for door-to-door sales of things like encyclopedias, but the specific term 'book agent' is new to me. Probably not helped by a literary agent being a completely different occupation and much more common today.
>>65218255>they often would knock on your door at two times of the daylike door to door salesmen or solicitors?
>>65199990l
>>65209625On other flightsSource is in the filename naval aviation combat statistics - world war II if you look it up you should find a few sites hosting it including the nhhc, Its the navy's equivalent to the Army Air Force Statistical Digest: World War II >>65220987It took me a second to find where it was advertising war bonds.
I have a bunch of these on my computer, I'll post them when I get home if I remember.
Mostly F-4 and MDD stuff.
One for the Bongs.
>>65229054Very cool!
This one is my favorite.
And this is the last one, hopefully everyone now has a better appreciation of the F-4 Phantom II.
>>65230114Good posts.I'm now convinced to buy a F-4.
Turns out I had some non F-4 ads saved elsewhere.
>>65207766So this is before they got raped by import/export?
I have a brochure Northrop was giving out when they were trying to sell the F-18L, but I can't find where I saved the scans I took of it and I no longer have a scanner.
>>65232380I like this one. Good find!
I can sense the era when Convair was thriving.
>>65233045Convair in my eyes is one of the most interesting manufacturers. Even with their doomed CV990, they were an impressive technological powerhouse.
Anyone got the “in a world where Backfire bombers don’t exist” F-14 ad?
>>65234193That is a neat plane. Too bad it didn't work out.
>>65230114can it land on the DeGaulle?
>>65240844The F4 is not arrogant enough, the plane would just phase through the flight deck and hit the ocean.
Excellent thread
>>65200240>Two weeks laterNo, why would you think that
>>65241391
>>65241408
>>65241419My favorite one, stylistically
>>65241454Thanks for the contribution.Great stuff.
>threads about to dieHONK gonna slide a war tourist thread off
>>65199990https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddl-Hxbw3V0One of my favs. Pity it didn't actually live up to the ad's claims.
>>65243706This is a page full of lies.
>>65243377Very cool
>>65243355Good work
>>65243686>>65243689God I love this Thunderbirds-ass monster and I despise the Starfighter for what it did to it
Words can not properly express the rage I feel when I see billboards on my way to work that advertise AI slop as the next gen military tools.
>>65246883I can't even trust a clanker to make a competent picture, let alone make life-or-death decisions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85MDZfZr1agNot quite to OPs specs but it deserves an honorable mention.
>>65247596OP here.I approve.
>>65203671Looks like a fake vaporwave commercial whipped up in 2020s.No RIS matches either, except for the original photo which appears in contemporary news articles.
>>65248941Think I found where the pic came from.https://cl.pinterest.com/pin/general-dynamics-aircraft-company-advertisement--6825836926993268/
WTF are these adds for, Congressmen?
>>65248985Publicity in general. Gotta make yourself look cool as hell so the public doesn't bitch about their taxes paying for it.
>>65248919It's a shame the Cutlass turned out such a shitter, it looked really cool.
>>65248998I agree.I stumbled across Cutlass on Falcon Field in Arizona a few years ago that some guy was restoring. All I could think about was "out of all the planes you could dedicate your time restoring, why that one?"But good for him, I guess.
How has picrel not been posted yet?
>>65251153Because that pic is from DCS world.Failure to comply with OP requirements.
>>65251242
>>65248985Depending on the budget bracket of the product, either visiting NATO reps or El Presidente and assorted African warlords. Have a sample for the latter:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxXVuEaUg2k
>>65257263
>>65266150Reminds me of the Top Gear episode where Clarkson and May do a segment on Saab and specifically talk about Saab's auto advertising with their planes.I didn't think of bringing up Saab, thank you.
