U.S.

Curtiss-Wright

CW-21

Some were delivered to China, others to the Dutch. Some of the Chinese ended up with the Flying Tigers - I think at least saw combat with the Dutch in their East Indies against Japan.

Bismarck or Tirpitz. I guess the Germans had their own version of dazzle camo.

Bismarck is my favorite enemy ship - I never remember seeing a picture of her in dazzle camo - but I kind of know the class on sight.

Vought Kingfisher. It was used by the US Navy as a spotter in the 30's and 40's.

No... Right navy but before her time....

I'll give you a huge hint. This ship served as the British Flagship at Jutland

C'mon man. That's a Bismark class battleship, origin Germany.

The later war camo pattern means that it can't be Bismark because she was at the bottom of the Atlantic by that time so that's the Tirpitz.

HMS Iron Duke.


I always forget how new Prince of Wales was when she went down - commissioned in '41, sunk by the Japanese in '41.

Early Royal Navy dreadnaught. Iron Duke class (I think), but otherwise I don't know.

My favorite of all time, bar none.

Mr. Martin's bomber - the B-10 or Model 139/166.

Along with the previously posted CW-21 and a handful of other obsolescent aircraft, it gave the Japanese far more hell than they expected in the hands of hopelessly outnumbered Dutch aviators in the East Indies during late 1941/early 1942.

That's a unique creature. It's literally a half-track motorcycle. It's a German machine named Kettenkreffen or something of the sort. I can't remember the exact spelling. German fallschirmjager units used as a gun tractor for the most part but it was also used in Africa & Russia as a scout vehicle.
