The Mörkö-Morane was a Finnish-engineered upgrade of the French Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 fighter during WWII. Faced with rising losses in 1942, Finnish commanders decided to re-engine their obsolete Moranes with captured Soviet Klimov M-105P V-12 engines (1,100 hp) and aerodynamic refinements.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/finnish-morko-morane-fighter-aircraft/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #FinnishAirForce #MoraneSaulnierMS406 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

The Blackburn firebrand was a carrier based strike fighter of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. Originally designed as a fighter, its low performance led to a redesign as a strike fighter.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/blackburn-firebrand/ #BlackburnFirebrand #TorpedoFighter #StrikeAircraft #RoyalNavy #FleetAirArm #fighter #fighterplane #plane #aeroplane #aircraft #airplane #aviation #aerialwarfare #military #navy #naval #navalaviation

Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica
