Military History

A very surprising work in progress by Henry L. deZeng IV: http://www.ww2.dk/lwairfields.html http://www.ww2.dk/Airfields%20-%20General%20Introduction.pdf

Edward Saylor, 1 of last 4 WWII Doolittle Raiders, dies at 94 (Stars and Stripes)

A curious 1875 Brassey's article found casually about armoured and unarmoured warships. Only an historical curiosity: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Unarmoured_ships

Decima Flottiglia Mas and Operazione EA3: The Raid on Alexandria (Defense Media Network)

A deployment map on a very interesting site: http://www.anti-aircraft.co.uk/Bloodhound_map.html

At Fleet Sevastopol Info (in Russian, but the automatic translators are a miracle): http://flot.sevastopol.info/arms/

Probably very useful, about the Soviet/Russian designations debate, here a inverse table on Russian Wikipedia between Russian and NATO designations, on inverse direction of the usual: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Кодовые_обозначения_НАТО Also, USSR torpedoes: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F:%D0%A2%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%8B_%D0%A1%D0%A1%D0%A1%D0%A0

A very time-limited but very interesting Soviet/Russian Air Units OOB in 1991-1992: http://www.airbase.ru/squad/russia/ And later click on: Авиачасти Дальняя авиация СССР по состоянию на 1991 год (DA Long Range Aviation) Авиация ВМФ СССР по состоянию на 1991 год (VMF Naval Aviation) Авиация ПВО СССР по состоянию на 1991 год (PVO Strany Air Defence Aviation) 4-я Воздушная Армия (Польша, СГВ) по состоянию на 1992 год (4th Aviation Army in Poland) 16-я Краснознаменная Воздушная Армия (Вюнсдорф, ГДР, ГСГВ) по состоянию на 1992 год (16th Red Banner Aviation Army in Germany) 159-й гвардейский истребительный авиационный Новороссийский Краснознамённого орд…

Looking for Saint Petersburg air defenses I found this web site. I visited it some years ago for WWII German Air Defence and this part is new. Apparently very dense and of complex navigation, as the organization it reflects. Don't miss it, very useful for scenario design. Also the site dates go at least to 2009, not 1990 as the site entry states! As example: Entry: http://www.ww2.dk/new/newindex.htm PVO Strany air defences entry level by weapon type/task: http://www.ww2.dk/new/pvo/pvo.htm PVO Strany air defences by region/oblast: http://www.ww2.dk/new/pvo/pvostrany.htm Latvia, Estonia, Leningrad and Pskov air defences level: http://w…

The last Swedish ASW helicopters were retired in 2011, the events of October 2014 with mysterious submarines in Swedish waters showed the lack of a critical capability for a long time, as the future NFH90 ASW service entry is delayed probably to 2018-2020 (also Sweden losed retiring these HKP-4 a critical wood wildfire fighting asset). The HKP-4 will be ever worth of remembering (in Swedish): http://navyskipper.blogspot.com.es/2012/01/var-har-forsvarsmaktens-hkp-4-tagit.html

Whiskey on the Rocks 1981 incident, centered on Blekinge Museum near Karlskrona (in Swedish): Start (look for U137): http://80.78.212.10/08_00sok.asp Site entrance (not all researched): http://80.78.212.10/bmcd/u137/u137.HTML Images: http://80.78.212.10/bmcd/u137/galleri/galleri.html

Found casually when researching about Swedish ships (in concrete the elusive ex-Coast Guard Kbv 172/HMS Skredvisk): http://www.sinbadnavigation.com/flet.php?id=4

Researching about old ASW systems: About the Be-6 Madge, most of the data get here, after a painful, long and sometimes funny work with automatic translator (the acronyms in Russian are most of times "translated" in absurd in other terms, in other not-related acronyms or in impossible full texts phrases, "noncircular" should be omnidirectional, "machine" on this context is clearly "aircraft", and not "car", and a lot more): http://www.airwar.ru/enc/sea/be6.html Maximum height 6100 meters/médium. Máximum speed sea level = 203 knots. Máximum speed médium height = 224. Cruise speed sea level = 135. Cruise speed médium height = 140. Máximum range, unload…

Very interesting and useful site to planning historical scenarios. If you go to http://seavixen.org/893-squadron and click on "Correlation Squadrons/Ships", you will find UK carriers placement along the years (I did find this site just looking for those UK carrier data).

Of probable interest (see the author's CV). Including moves in and out Black Sea, actually a very cool pastime to see and identify warships in and out!: http://turkishnavy.net/about-me/

A few new entries and modifications on the netmarine.net site, dedicated to French Navy. As highlight images of the Naval Revue 2014 near Toulon: http://www.netmarine.net/g/dossiers/revue2014/index.html

An interesting document of the Royal Air Force Historical Society with some details about electronic warfare and V-Bombers: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/documents/research/RAF-Historical-Society-Journals/Journal-28-Seminar-Electronic-Warfare.pdf

A little museum, but with many rare and interesting ítems: http://www.baf.mil.bd/baf_museum/baf_museum.html
