Equipment

Aircraft Aircraft were still something new at the start of WW2, but it took little time for commanders to realize these machines were a requirement of modern warfare. |

Ships From the Atlantic to the Pacific, these floating cities performed duties ranging from, but not limited to, shore bombardment, aircraft launching, and transportation of men and supplies. |
