The Me 163 Komet was the only rocket powered interceptor ever used operationally and it had around 7.5 minutes of powered flight before the pilot had to glide back to land, which made every intercept a high speed one shot attempt.

They called it Whistling Death for a reason. When this aircraft went into a dive the sound alone was enough to strike fear long before it came into view.

The Grumman Wildcat wasn’t flashy but it was tough. It flew from US Navy carriers early in World War Two and survived battles like Coral Sea and Midway thanks to heavy armour and self sealing fuel tanks. A true Pacific workhorse.

This TBM Avenger with those clouds was just begging for a portrait shot. Made easy by getting low to include the drama with the clouds.

The Boulton Paul Defiant was a quirky WWII fighter with its turret gunner, designed to take on bombers from behind. It was a surprise in the Battle of Britain, for both sides. #BoultonPaulDefiant #WWIIAviation #BattleOfBritain
