				The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was an American heavy bomber that was originally designed in the 1930s but found intense use in the 1940s during the Second World War, specifically in the European Theatre of Operations. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The B-17 soon developed a reputation for being tough and durable.  It was quite capable of defending itself due to a heavy armament and became famous for returning from a mission even after sustaining heavy damage.  [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Requiring a crew of 10, this famous heavy bomber was armed with thirteen half-inch M2 Browning machine guns, could reach a ceiling of 35,600 ft, had a maximum speed of 287 mph, and had a range of 2,000 miles.  During the war the B-17 was responsible for almost one half of the bomb tonnage dropped by the entire allied forces in Europe, the majority of which was dropped during daytime raids running in conjunction with the British night time bombings.

Ok, here's the first one in a long time. I threw it together in about 20 minutes, so if anyone notices any mistakes, let me know.

Looks good :)

Just one small mistake, the Tag should use the exact unit key as in first post, it's AMERICAN_B17, not AMERICAN_B-17, else the mod will fail to initialize the text.

			<Text>
			As the Doughboys returned home at the end of the Great War, the 500,000-strong National Army was disbanded and the United States of America would sit through the interwar years with a relatively small Regular Army of about 175,000.  As war broke out in Europe for the second time that century, the United States attempted to remain neutral, again.  As the war escalated, it seemed that America would not be able to maintain its neutrality and would be drawn into another war in Europe.  So, a slow military build-up began. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			On "December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."  Overnight, America was embroiled in a war with Japan.  Four days later, Adolph Hitler declared war on the U.S.A., pulling the isolationist nation into the war in Europe, as well.  [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			In response to this sudden state of war, a new National Army was formed as a successor to the one that had been disbanded.  Armed with the trusty M1 Garand, a strong national pride, and a new helmet design (replacing the old British version), the American Infantry would engage the enemy all over the globe, from Tunisia and Guadalcanal to Monte Casino, Iwo Jima, and Normandy.

Is it missing anything important?
 
Is the AA Gun text good enough already, or would you like me to spruce it up and add some Second World War data?
 
Do you need help to make other text units ? Because I will have time to do this during this summer and I would be happy to help you improving the mod.
 
As a reminder, there will be more than 300 units, so help will always be welcome here :)
 
I've got some free time at the moment (as you can probably tell) so I can probably write up a few in the next week or so. Is there any particular list, or should I just pick the blank one's out of the text file.
 
1st rule of modding: do what you want to do :D

So pick those that you like and aren't in the text file, TIA :)
 
I've done the Matilda II and the Valentine. I think that means the British infantry tank line is done unless any of the others need redone. Might be a few errors I didn't catch, so feel free to tell me to redo it.

Matilda II

Code:
<!--CIVILOPEDIA MATILDA II-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_MATILDA_II">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Infantry, Mk II, Matilda II (A12) was a British infantry tank of the Second World War. It was a marked improvement upon its predecessors, the Matilda I (A11), boasting a 2 pounder gun, thicker armor and numerous other technological improvements. However it's massive weight, nearly twice that of the predecessor, made it slow and cumbersome.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				When war broke out in September, 1939, only two Matilda's were in service with the British Army. Nonetheless a small number of Matilda's did take part in the Battle of France where their thick armour proved a rude shock to the advancing German troops. Those tanks were later abandoned in the Dunkirk evacuation.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Nonetheless production of the Matilda continued, and the tanks were sent to the newly established front of North East Africa. It was there, against a poorly equipped Italian force, that it earned it's nickname 'Queen of the Desert'. Its incredibly tough armor proved too thick for the Italian tanks and guns, and helped drive the axis forces across the Libyan desert.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				However with the arrival of the Afrika Korps its luck began to change. It proved vulnerable to the Germans new anti-tank guns, and was ill suited to the mobile warfare that was taking place. For a time it still proved a match for enemy tanks, but as newer and more powerful Axis models arrived on the battlefield it began to give ground.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Its successor, the Valentine tank, began to arrive in late 1941, replacing the increasingly obselete Matilda. What remained of the Matilda force in Africa was largely destroyed in the summer of 1942, in Operation Crusader, where they helped win Britain's first ground victory against German forces. However it continued to be used in other theatres, largely in the pacific, where they proved more than a match for Japanese forces, and became the only British tank to remain in service throughout the war.

Valentine

Code:
<!--CIVILOPEDIA VALENTINE-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_VALENTINE">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Infantry, Mk III, Valentine was a British infantry tank of the Second World War. The "A" designation was withheld from the tank since it was a private design from Vickers-Armstrongs, however the source of the name "Valentine" is unknown. Many claim it's because the design was first presented on valentine's day, others that it was the middle name of one of the designer. Some say it was just a random codename used by the company.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The successor to the Matilda II, it was no huge leap forward in tank evolution. With a similar top speed, armour thickness and arnament(at least at first) it's main draw was its smaller weight, lower silhouette and reduced production costs. It began trials in May 1940, coinciding with the loss of equipment in Dunkirk. Keen to replace losses, the War Office appproved the design and rushed into production to replace losses. During the war 8,275 were built in the UK and Canada, making it the most produced British tank design of the war.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It first saw combat during Operation Crusader and was used extensively throughout the African campaign. During the campaign it earned a reputation for reliability and good protection. However, like many tanks of its time, it's two pounder gun was insufficient to counter enemy tanks. Later variants were fitted with the six pounder but this was delayed due to a need to replace losses from Dunkirk.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It was also used in the European theatre, but by 1944 it had been almost completely replaced by the Churchill (A22). It was also used extensively by Soviet forces, who recieved several thousand through the land-lease program. Serving from the Battle of Moscow until the end of the war its small size and reliability was popular among soviet troops.

I've thrown together a few more texts for the British tanks. I thought that would finish them off, but it seems you've added even more in the beta. Not that I'm complaining though. :)

By the way I didn't make an entry for the Crusader Mk III. Does it require an entry? Or can it just be merged with the regular Crusader entry?

Also the entries for the Cruiser Mk I to IV are pretty small since I couldn't find much to write for them. If anyone can find more information on them feel free to replace what I've done.

Code:
	<!--CIVILOPEDIA A9 CRUISER MK I-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_CRUISER_MKI">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk I (A9) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. It was developed during the interwar period and was th first cruiser tank to be produced. Although produced as an interim design until more advanced models became available, 125 were produced.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Despite the small number produced it managed to see combat in a variety of theatres. In France, Greece and North Africa its two pounder gun was lethal against early German designs, however its thin armor made it vulnerable to a variety of weapons. As German tanks with thicker armor reached North Africa it was rendered completely obselete.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A10 CRUISER MK II-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_CRUISER_MKII">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk II (A10) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. The successor to the original cruiser, it was originally concieved as an infantry tank. However it soon became clear that it was not suitable for that role, and was reclassified as a "heavy cruiser".[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Despite being originally concieved as an infantry tank it was found to be poorly armored, though its two pounder gun proved effective in the early stages of the war. Despite its many shortcomings it found service in a poorly equipped British Army. In France its cross country performance was critisized, however in North Africa its reliability was praised. Most of what remained of the Mk II's were sent to Greece. In contrast to its performance in North Africa over 90% of Mk II losses were from mechanical failures, though they were said to perform well against enemy tanks.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A13 CRUISER MK III-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_CRUISER_MKIII">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk III (A13) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. It was the first cruiser tank to incorporate the Christie suspension, with earlier models having had limited production runs in anticipation. However the Mk III had numerous design delays, and when it was finally produced it was also found to have numerous mechanical issues. Only sixty five were ever produced.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Most were lost in the Battle of France, though some served in the early years of North Africa and in Greece.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A13 MK II CRUISER MK IV-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_CRUISER_MKIV">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk IV (A13 Mk II) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. The culmination of the early, unnamed cruiser tanks it was essentially the Mk III with some additional armour fitted and a new machine gun.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Several hundred were produced, making up the majority or early British cruiser tanks. It saw limited action in France, though its rushed delivery meant it suffered numerous mechanical issues. It largely saw service in the early stages of North Africa where it was largely praised by troops though, like many tanks in that theatre, it proved vulnerable to german anti-tank guns.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A13 MK III COVENANTER-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_A13_MKIII">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk V, Covenanter (A13 Mk III) was a British Cruiser tank of the Second World War. Named after a Scottish religious faction during the War of the Three Kingdoms, it was the first British cruiser tank to be given a name.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Equipped with a two pounder gun common to British tanks of that era, its thin armor and high speed was in keeping with the philosophy of the cruiser tank. Its production was riddled with problems that continued throughout its liftime. Rushed into production just as war was breaking out, numerous issues meant the first tanks delayed production until after Dunkirk. A crippling overheating problem, one that was never fully solved, meant it wasn't sent to North Africa but instead kept behind for Home Defense. Pruduction continued even as better cruiser models became available and more than 1,700 were built.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Despite equipping several British Armoured Divisions it never saw combat. By 1943, just as new fronts were opening in which it could serve, the tanks were declared obselete due to its inability to counter new German designs. It was decided that tank's problems couldn't be solved without a major redesign and the tank was withdrawn from frontline service.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A15 CRUSADER-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_A15_CRUSADER">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk VI, Crusader (A15), was a British Cruiser tank of the Second World War. It was one of the major British tank designs of the war, serving mostly in the North African theatre.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It first saw combat in early 1941, just as Rommels Afrikan Korps was driving British forces back across Africa. It first equipped the 7th Armoured Division, also known as the Desert Rats, and took part in Operation Battleaxe, where they suffered serious losses. Despite this setback it would continue to serve in Africa in more successful engagements such as Operation Crusader and the Battle of El Alamein, and even saw action until the end Tunisian campaign.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Despite it's successful service several major problems were found with the Crusader. Overheating, the crippling fault of its predecessor, was still a problem in the African desert, as well as a proving prone to catch fire when hit. Furthermore its two pounder gun was quickly becoming obselete against new Axis designs, a common problem of British tanks at that time. When it became clear that the Crusader's replacement was being delayed the Mk III was introduced. Boasting a new six pounder gun, it greatly extended the liftime of the Crusader.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				However its importance in the British army eroded with the arrival of the American Sherman tank. With the completion of the African campaign its successor, the Cromwell, was finally available, and it was removed from combat. It continued to serve as AA mounts and tractor guns until the end of the war.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA A27M CROMWELL-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_CROMWELL">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M) was a British Cruiser tank of the Second World War. Named after the controversial English Civil War leader Oliver Cromwell it was a tank of the latter stage of the war, mostly seeing combat in the liberation of Europe.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Development of the tank was much delayed and production didn't start until 1943. Recognising the shortcomings of its predecessor, the A15 Crusader, it incorporated heavier armour and a new, powerful gun, the QF 75mm. Despite this increase in weight the speed which defined the cruiser tank line was retained with its famed Meteor engine, meaning that it was even faster than comparable Sheman designs while boasting thicker frontal armor. However its 75mm gun, while slightly more powerful than the Sherman's, had difficulty penetrating new German armor, and paled in comparison to the 17 pounder gun mounted on the Sherman Firefly.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It first saw combat during the Normandy landings. Although the tank was chiefly used in training roles a small number saw action in North-West Europe equipped to the armored reconnaissance regiments of the Royal Armoured Corps. After the war it continued to have a role in the British Army and was exported to several European countries. Several saw action in the Greek civil war, though they saw limited service and had very little effect on the overall outcome.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA M4 FIREFLY-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_M4_FIREFLY">
			<Text>
				The M4 Sherman Firefly was a British variant of the American Sherman tank. Essentially a regular Sherman tank with the gun replaced with the new British 17 pounder anti-tank gun, it quickly became a widely used variant within the British Army. It was the most common vehicle to field the 17 pounder during the war.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The idea of mounting a 17 pounder gun onto a Sherman tank had already been discussed within the British Army, but had been rejected several times in the belief that new British designs would surpass the Sherman. Eventually, after a long lobbying campaign by a pair of British officers, the concept was approved. This proved an excellent decision when it became clear that the new British tanks were to be delayed.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Several problems became apparent when adapting the Sherman. The gun itself kicked up massive amounts of dirt and dust, blinding the crew and revealing the tanks position. Its recoil and muzzle blast was hard on the tanks crew, in some cases causing night blindness. And although the gun proved highly effective in countering the heavier German tanks the Shermans regular 75mm gun was found to be better against 'soft' targets such as light tanks and infantry and had a higher rate of fire. These problems were never elminated since the tank was seen as a stopgap until better British designs became available.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Despite these problems production began in January 1944. By Febuary 1945 over 2,000 Firefly's had been produced, and were equal in number to the unconverted Shermans used by the British Army. After this production was scaled down as new British Comet and Centurion tanks came into service and the war itself began to wind down.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Firefly first saw action in Normandy. With British and Commonwealth forces facing the bulk of German armor in the Battle of Normandy the Firefly proved itself vital in countering Germany's new Panther and Tiger tanks, in some cases able to eliminate the Panther with just one shot. So powerful were the Firefly's that German anti-tank crews were instructed give them priority when attacking. In response to this new tactic, as well as underlining the importance placed on it by allied commanders, Firefly's were generally held behind regular Shermans and provided fire support against enemy tanks. This tactic may have been responsible for lower losses Firefly's suffered in comparison to other Sherman tanks.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It continued to be in use throughout the war, with Firefly's being used in the Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the Rhine, and a few serving with distinction in Italy. Post war it was largely removed from service, though several other countries continued to operate it.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA VICKERS MK VIB-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_VICKERS_MKVIB">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Light, Mk VIB was a British light tank of the Second World War. It was mostly out classed by the other tank designs of the war and led to the British Army largely abandoning the light tank concept during the war.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				When it was first produced in 1936 the British Army believed it was the best light tank in the world. In the years up to World War Two it was generally used in colonial policing duty where it excelled. During the peiod of rearnament it was the only tank that was ready to be manufactured, and as a result at the outbreak of war the Mk VIB comprised the vast majority of tanks in use with the British Army.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It was the main tank used by the British Expeditionary Force in the Battle of France, proving little use against superior German tanks and tactics. Most of those sent to France were abandoned after the evacuation of Dunkirk. Many Mk VIB's were sent to North Africa, where their high speed was used to flank Italian forces. Losses were high however and they were last used in East Africa in Febuary 1941. Several were later sent to Greece and a few even took part in the Battle of Crete.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Surprisingly some survived the war and were later used in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war under the Egyptian Army.

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA TETRARCH-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_TETRARCH">
			<Text>
				The Tank, Light, Mk VII (A17), also known as the Tetrarch, was a British light tank of the Second World War. It was the successor to the Vickers-Armstrongs Mk VIB. The main improvement was the addition of the two pounder gun, a weapon usually found on the larger Infantry and Cruiser tanks.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Less than two hundred tanks were produced overall. This was partly because the War Office wanted to concentrate on producing Infantry and Cruiser tanks but also because of the poor performance of other light tanks in the Battle of France. Those tanks that had been produced were soon pulled from service and the Tetrach as a whole was about to be declared obselete. This decision was halted in mid-1941 as Britain was begginning to assemble airborne forces. The Tetrach was identified as the ideal tank to be used in airborne operations. Successful exercises were conducted in which the Tetrach was landed with the aid a glider.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Tetrach finally saw service in 1942 in the battle of Madagascar, where they helped take the island from Vichy French control. It was last used in Operation Tonga as part of the airborne landings prior to D-day.

Thanks !

v.39 final may have almost twice the number of units than v.38... (oups, did I forgot to mention that on the paper you've signed ? :deal: )

By the way I didn't make an entry for the Crusader Mk III. Does it require an entry? Or can it just be merged with the regular Crusader entry?
Because of the way the unit initialization is "semi-automated" in this mod, for those that can share the same text, you have to create another entry with the tag for the new unit and the same text as the previous unit.

for example here is what I've done for the Crusader:
Code:
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_TANK_A15_CRUSADER">

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA AMIOT 350-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_BOMBER_AMIOT350">
			<Text>
				The Amiot 354 was the latest in a series of fast, twin-engine bombers which fought with the Armée de l'Air in limited numbers during the Battle of France. It was designed int the mid-1930s and the first orders were ordered in 1938, but production delays and ordered modifications ensured that September 1939 saw no delivered aircraft. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Eventually, the ordered number of this bomber reached 830, though ultimately only 80 machines were received by the Air Ministry and so it had no impact on the campaign of France, and disappeared less than six months after commissioning. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				But this medium bomber was a very modern aircracft, and could reach 298 mph (480 km/h). It had a range of 2,175 miles (3,502 km) and could carry 2,650 lb (1,200 kg) of bombs. Moreover, the Amiot 350 had 2 x 7.5 mm machine guns and one 20 mm cannon as defensive weapons. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA BA.65-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_BOMBER_BA65">
			<Text>
				The Breda Ba.65 was an all-metal single-engine, low-wing monoplane used during the Spanish Civil War and in the first part of World War II by the Regia Aeronautica. It was the only Italian ground-attack aircraft that saw active service in this role. It saw service almost exclusively on the North African front. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It could reach 270 mph (430 km/h) and had a range of 342 miles (550 km). It was equipped with 2 x 12,7 mm and 2 x 7,7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, and could carry 500 kg (1,102 lb) of bombs.
				This aircraft proved effective and was compared positively with the German Junkers Ju 87 Stuka during the Spanish Civil War. But when War started in North Africa, they suffered heavy losses facing the British fighters and most were either out of service or shot down by February 1941

		<!--CIVILOPEDIA BLENHEIM GREECE-->
		<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_PEDIA_BOMBER_BLENHEIM_GREECE ">
			<Text>
				The Bristol Blenheim was a British light bomber that was used extensively in the early days of the Second World War. This aircraft suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the war, because it stood little chance against the Messerschmitt Bf 109 during daylight operations; though it proved successful as a night fighter. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Blenheim had a range of 1,460 miles (2,351 km) and could reach 266 mph (428 km/h). It carried 1200 lb (540 kg) of bombs and had 4 x 7.7 mm machine guns to protect against fighter, and only one 7.7 mm in port wing. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE] 
				This bomber was faster than most biplane fighters in the late 1930s, but with the rapid advances in technology which had taken place in the late 1930s, the Blenheim was already obsolescent when the war was declared. It served in several countries, and 12 Blenheims were delivered to Greece between 1939 and 1940, and then more flew for the Hellenic Air Force in the Middle East.

				At the begining of the war, it was clear that the French and the British Armies didn't have enough materials to do a long war against Germany. So they turned to the USA for help providing war material. Despite the USA were a neutral nation, Roosevelt signed a pact to authorize to give materials to their future allies. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				So they started to send material and equipments by sea to supply the United Kingdom. But rapidly the KriegsMarine brought her submarines to attack the isolated transports crossing the Atlantic ocean. To avert the danger, the allies started to form convoys of transport ships protected by destroyers and other escort ships, and so material was brought more safety to its destination. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				But these convoys were also used in the Pacific and the Indian oceans by the allies and the axis to transport troops and material, and even to North Sea where Germans brought Iron coming from Sweden via Narvik.

			The Fairey Battle was a British sing-engine light bomber designed in 1936. Despite the fact it had the same engine that contemporary British fighters, it was slow, limited in range and highly vulnerable to both anti-aircraft fire and fighters with its single defensive 7.7 mm machine gun. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE] 
			Its maximum speed was 257 mph (413 km/h), had a range of 1,000 miles (1610 km) and could carry 4 x 250 lb (110 kg) bombs internally and 500 lb (230 kg) of bombs externally. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			When the Battle of France began, Battles were called upon to perform unescorted attacks against the advancing German army, and suffered heavy losses (99 lost between 10 and 16 May). This aircraft was also used by the UK's allies, and the Hellenic Air Force received 12 Fairey Battle. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]

Smaller than most contemporary medium bombers, it was relatively fast with a maximum speed of 256 mph (412 km/h) and had a range of 1,615 miles (2,600 km). But its defensive armament consisted of only 3 machine guns, which proved too weak against enemy fighters. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			During the Invasion of Poland, from 4 September some PZL.37 were attacking German armoured columns in day attacks, forced by the desperate situation to perform this mission for which they were not designed (the original plans to bomb targets inside Germany were quickly abandoned), and They suffered heavy losses due to lack of fighter protection [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]

Originally designed as a fast passenger aircraft, this aircraft set 26 world records that qualified it as the fastest medium bomber in the world. It first saw action during the Spanish Civil War and flew on all fronts in which Italy was involved during World War II. It became famous and achieved many successes as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean theater. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			The maximum speed of the SM.79 was 286 mph (460 km/h) and had a range of 1,615 miles (2,600 km). It could carry on board 6 crew members and 2,645 lb (1,200 kg) of internal bomb load or two 450 milimetres torpedoes. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
			The SM.79 was an outstanding aircraft and was certainly the best-known Italian aeroplane of World War II and was liked by its crews who nicknamed it Gobbo Maledetto  ("damned hunchback").

			The aircraft was very vulnerable to attacking fighters, having neither self-sealing fuel tanks nor sufficient defensive armament. In particular, while the aircraft's nose and tail turrets protected against attacks from the front and rear, the Wellington had no defences against attacks from the beam and above, as it had not been believed that such attacks were possible owing to the high speed of aircraft involved. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]

				The Amiot 354 was the latest in a series of fast, twin-engine bombers which fought with the Armée de l'Air in limited numbers during the Battle of France. It was designed int the mid-1930s and the first orders were ordered in 1938, but production delays and ordered modifications ensured that September 1939 saw no delivered aircraft. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Eventually, the ordered number of this bomber reached 830, though ultimately only 80 machines were received by the Air Ministry and so it had no impact on the campaign of France, and disappeared less than six months after commissioning. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				But this medium bomber was a very modern aircracft, and could reach 298 mph (480 km/h). It had a range of 2,175 miles (3,502 km) and could carry 2,650 lb (1,200 kg) of bombs. Moreover, the Amiot 350 had 2 x 7.5 mm machine guns and one 20 mm cannon as defensive weapons. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]

It was the only Italian ground-attack aircraft that saw active service in this role. It saw service almost exclusively on the North African front. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It could reach 270 mph (430 km/h) and had a range of 342 miles (550 km). It was equipped with 2 x 12,7 mm and 2 x 7,7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, and could carry 500 kg (1,102 lb) of bombs.
				This aircraft proved effective and was compared positively with the German Junkers Ju 87 Stuka during the Spanish Civil War. But when War started in North Africa, they suffered heavy losses facing the British fighters and most were either out of service or shot down by February 1941

This aircraft suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the war, because it stood little chance against the Messerschmitt Bf 109 during daylight operations; though it proved successful as a night fighter. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Blenheim had a range of 1,460 miles (2,351 km) and could reach 266 mph (428 km/h). It carried 1200 lb (540 kg) of bombs and had 4 x 7.7 mm machine guns to protect against fighter, and only one 7.7 mm in port wing. [NEWLINE][NEWLINE] 
				This bomber was faster than most biplane fighters in the late 1930s, but with the rapid advances in technology which had taken place in the late 1930s, the Blenheim was already obsolescent when the war was declared. It served in several countries, and 12 Blenheims were delivered to Greece between 1939 and 1940, and then more flew for the Hellenic Air Force in the Middle East.

It was largely overshadowed by the Supermarine Spitfire, which was percieved by the British public as the RAF's main fighter. Contrary to this perception it was the RAF's workhorse during the earlier years of the war, serving in all major theatres and playing a decisive role in the Battle of Britain. A highly vesatile fighter it would serve the RAF in multiple roles, as interceptor, fighter-bomber, and ground support aircraft.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				When the Hawker Hurricane was first proposed in the mid 1930's the RAF was in a poor state. Its thirteen squadrons was filled with biplane designs, clearly obselete in the face of advanced German designs. The Hurricane was designed to help the RAF match other modern design. However even as it began production it was obselete, using outdated construction methods and fabric wings. The fabric wings were quickly replaced with a metal covered wings, though some fabric winged aircraft were still in use through the Battle of Britain.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				With production starting in June 1936, the Hawker proved relatively easy to construct and manufacture. It was cheaper to produce than the Spitfire, requiring 10,300 man hours to the Spitfire's 15,200. Thanks its easy construction the RAF managed to equip itself with eighteen operational squadrons of Hurricanes by the start of the war, almost 500 aircraft. Around 14,000 Hawer Hurricanes were produced overall, including the Sea Hurricane and other variants. The Hurricane served with numerous Air forces around the world, including allied countries, neutral, and even some Axis forces. Nearly three thousand aircraft were sent to the Soviet Union as part of the land lease program, though they were largely dissapointed with the aircraft, considering them inferior to both German aircraft and their own.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Hurricane is generally considered an inferior fighter to the Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109, being far slower than both designs. Its thick wings also reduced its acceleration but allowed it to out-turn both aircraft. It was still capable of defeating the Messerschmitt, performing best in lower altitudes, though duing the Battle of Britain a common tactic was to leave enemy fighters to the Spitfire while the Hurrican went for the Bombers. A Mk II variant was introduced in September 1940, with a more powerful engine and arnament, though the aging fighter was still unable to match other designs.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Hurricane served across the world, though its most famous engagement was during the Battle of Britain. Despite the Spitfire being percieved as the main RAF fighter it was actually the Hurricane that was fielded in larger numbers. It accounted for 55% of German losses during the battle, though the Spitfire had a much higher victory-to-loss ratio. It would also serve in North Africa, notably in the defense of Malta where they relieved the legendary Gloster Gladiator aircraft that had defended the island against far superior forces. In Egypt it proved capable of defeating early Italian fighters, though by late 1941 German reinforcements had relegated the Hurricane to a fighter-bomber role, with impressive results. This switch from fighter to fighter-bomber was repeated in all theatres as more advanced enemy fighters appeared and new British designs were produced in large enough numbers to replace them. By 1944 the Hurricane was no longer used in front line operations.

				The Spitfire Submarine was a single-seat fighter that served with the Royal Air Force and many other nations during World War Two. It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft, becoming the only British aircraft in continuous production throughout the war and served as a front line aircraft into the 1950's. Designed as a high speed interceptor, it was used in multiple roles as interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, carrier aircraft and trainer.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Although the first aircraft were ordered back in June 1936, and a prototype aircraft flew at an airshow a few days later, the first production aircraft was not ready until mid 1938. This was largely because the Spitfire factories that were to produce the aircraft were already at full production fulfilling orders for Walrus and Stanraer flying boats. Other factories faced delays as well, largely because Vickers-Armstrong, the parent company, was reluctant to release the blueprint to outsiders. The kinks in the production process were eventually ironed out, though by the time the Battle of Britain was fought the Hawker Hurricane was still the more numerous aircraft. Soon after the battle had concluded it replaced the Hurricane as the backbone of the RAF and saw action in theatres across the globe.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The aircraft itself was a highly advanced design, able to compete with contemporary aircraft and found to excel at high altitudes. It was comparable to the Messerchmitt Bf 109, both being advanced, high speed, high performance aircraft that went through numerous variants throughout the war. New variants of the Spitfire largely played catch up with German designs: when the new F variants of the 109 was introduced it exceeded Spitfire Mk I and II's, with the Mk V restoring parity. When the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 was introduced it inflicted high losses on the Mk V aircraft, with the Mk IX restoring parity. The Spitfire was continuously improved throughout the war and new variants were created even after the war had ended.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Spitfire was used in multiple theatres around the world. Its first action was during the "phoney" war, where nine Junkers 88's attempted to attack a pair of cruisers in the Firth of Forth. Two of the 88's were destroyed and another was heavily damaged. During this time Spitfires were kept in Britain for "Home" defense, despite a request for reinforcemnts by the French government, and instead four squadrons of Hurricanes were sent. It would soon see major action in the Battle of France, providing fighter support to the beleaguered low land countries and aiding in the evacuation of Dunkirk. It played a pivotal role in the Battle of Britain, fighting alongside the more numerous Hurricanes. Being the more powerful fighter of the two the Spitfire was generally used to intercept enemy fighters while the Hurricane attacked enemy bombers. Despite this tactic the Spitfire was responsible for over 40% of German losses and had a highter victory-to-loss ratio than the Hurricane.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				After the Battle of Britain it largely suplanted the Hurricane as RAF's primary fighter. It took part in RAF offensives in North West Europe post Battle of Britain, performing fighter sweeps and escorting bombing missions. These had limited successes, with the Spitfires encountering the same difficulties the Messersmchmitt faced in the Battle of Britain. As the American strategic bombing campaigns gathered pace in Europe the Spitfire was found to have an insufficient combat range to escort the bombers, so while American aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang escorted the long range bombers into Germany the Spitfire largely continued its interceptor role, as well as escorting several short range bombing missions into France and the Netherlands. During and after the Normandy landing the Spitfire returned to prominence, helping allied air forces establish air supremacy over the continent.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Spitfire first saw overseas combat in 1942 as reinforcements in the Siege of Malta, an action which finally began to ease the island's perilous situation. Soon after they became available to forces in North Africa and later in Italy. In the Pacific theatre the Spitfire was used by commonwealth forces against the Japanese, fielding their Zero fighters. The Spitfire found the Zero to be a dangerous opponent and was unable to compete in a prolonged dogfight. Pilots had to adopt a "slash and run" tactic using their superior speed to dive at the Zero and then speed away to avoid attack. Post war the Spitfire saw combat in the Greek civil war, the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the 1947 Indo-Pakistan war and the Malayan Emergency.

				The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a single-seat German World War II fighter aircraft. First produced in the early 1930's it was the most advanced aircraft of its time, leading the way in aircraft development. Despite being introduced several years before the war started it remained in production and in service right up until Nazi Germany's defeat in 1945. With over 33,000 produced it became the most produced fighter aircraft in history.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				As the fledgling Nazi regime began the rearmament of Germany it announced a competetion to produce a single seat fighter that would act as a high speed interceptor. After a close competition with the Heinkel He 112 the 109 was awarded the contract. The Bf 109 was one of the most advanced aircraft created at the time, with a closed canopy, retractable landing gear and a powerful, liquid cooled engine. Numerous other design features lead to a simplified construction process as well as excellent handling characteristics and a top speed that exceeded many of its contemporaries.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Messerschmitt Bf 109 went through serveral variants that allowed it to remain a competitive fighter throughout the war. Early A/B/C/D variants were used in the Spanish civil war and were largely withdrawn before the war started, though a few were used in the opening stages of the Poland campaign. The E variant was a major redesign of the Bf 109, gifting the aircraft with a more powerful engine as well as a major redesign of the airframe. This was the main variant used during the early stages of the war. It was replaced by the F variant, which again incorporated a new engine, as well as being found far more aerodynamic. The G series, the final variant of the Bf 109, was a less radical redesign than previous variants though included numerous improvements over the F series. A naval variant was also considered for a time, the Bf 109T, with the Kriegsmarine recognising the potential of aircraft carriers. Several 109T's were produced and used in tests, though the aircraft carrier it was to serve on was never finished and the 109T was releagated to training aircraft.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The Bf 109 first saw action in the Spanish civil war. They served with the Condor Legion, a groud of Luftwaffe volunteers, who fought with Nationalists forces against the Soviet aircraft of the Republican forces. This pre war combat proved vital in giving combat experience to German pilots as well as providing a testing ground for the early variants of the 109. The E variant saw combat in Germany's early victories, like Poland and France. It was also the main fighter used in the Battle of Britain, where the Luftwaffe attempted to gain air superiority over the British mainland in preparation for a full scale land invasion. Numerous factors led to Germany's defeat in the battle, chief among them was the inability of the Luftwaffe to suppress British fighters. Although the Bf 109 was superior to the majority of British fighters (with the possible exception of the Spitfire) the need to escort bombers and its small operating range meant it was unable to realise its full potential.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The introduction of the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 meant the 109 was largely replaced in Western Europe, though it continued to be the prominent fighter in other theatres, such as the Eastern Front, the Balkans, and as part of the Afrikan Korps. In the Eastern Front the 109 was vital in establishing air superiority against the Soviets, inflicting massive losses against the Soviet Air Force. Even as the invasion came to a grinding halt the 109 still ruled the skies. However a lack of resources and the collapsing German Army meant the 109's effectivness was reduced and was unable to maintain air superiority.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				In the later stages of the war it led the Defence of the Reich, the defensive aerial campaign aimed to protect German military and civil industries from allied strategic bombing. As the war reached its conclusion reduced resources and the loss of trained pilots meant the Luftwaffe and the 109 ceased to have any noticable effect on the course of the war.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				After the war the 109 remained in service with numerous air forces in Europe, mostly with neutral air forces that had recieved the fighter before the fall Nazi Germany. Ironically a small number of 109's served with the newly formed Israeli Air Force for a time and fought against the Spitfires of the assembled Arab forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli, the last time these two rival aircraft would ever face each other on the battlefield.

				The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a single-seat German World War II fighter aircraft. First introduced in mid-1941 it proved superior to existing fighter aircraft, including Germany's own Messerschmitt Bf 109. It was largely used as a low altitude interceptor and as a ground attack aircraft, a role in which it was highly successful. Despite being regarded as superior to the 109 in several key areas it never managed to replace the 109 as Germany's sole fighter, instead both aircraft forming the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It was designed to be a backup to the Messerschmitt Bf 109 from the beggining, with the German government concerned that future rival aircraft could outclass the 109. It was designed to be fast and durable, compared to a "cavalry horse" in contrast to the 109 "racehorse". In this case it was largely successful. Its small wing platform meant it suffered less drag and was able to acheieve higher speed and range, but it also meant that the 190 had difficulty generating lift and was unable to compete at high altitudes, meaning it was mostly used as a low altitude fighter. Later variants attempted to create a high altitude version. The development process of the 190 was plagued with engine problems, with the enire progrma threatened with closure several time. However it succeeded in producing the 190, and by the end of the war over 20,000 aircraft had been produced.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				There were several main series of variants. The A series continually built on the 190's success as a low altitude fighter and fighter-bomber. With over 13,000 built it formed the majority of 190's. Attempts to turn the 190 into a viable high altitude aircraft that could counter American heavy bombers culminated in the D series. The F and G series turned the 190 into a more dedicated ground attack aircraft, with thicker armor and wing mounted arnament. Later design and production deteriorated as Germany's war effort faltered.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It first saw combat in August 1941 in France, in an effort to counter RAF attacks in the area. It proved so advanced that it managed to wrest air superiority from the RAF for almost a year until the improved Mk IX variant of the Spitfire appeared and restored parity. It would continue to provide fighter support in this and also attack shipping in the channel until the D-day landings. After that it saw heavy action, utilised in both air superiority and ground attack roles. However losses were heavy, and with insufficient replacements the Luftwaffe lost air supremacy to the allied air forces.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				It was unable to play a major role in the Eastern Front, instead being sent west to counter the British and American air forces. The Eastern front was largely left to the Messerschmitt Bf 109, though several hundred 190's did see service in Russia. Their first appearance was in September 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad. However Soviet forces considered the 190 to be the inferior aircraft of the two, contrary to the opinions of both Western and German air forces. As the Soviets began their long campaign to drive the German's back new Soviet fighter designs, as well as the inability of German forces to replace losses, meant that the Luftwaffe began to lose the air superiority it had enjoyed since the beginning of the campaign. Despite these losses the 190 was able to resist the Soviet advance up until the very last days of the Third Reich, attacking the bridgeheads on the River Oder.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				The 190 also fought in the last months of the North African front and served throughout the Italian campaign. Postwar the aircraft served with several foriegn air forces, though in small numbers and never seeing combat.

				The Tank, Cruiser, Mk IV (A13 Mk II) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. The culmination of the early, unnamed cruiser tanks it was essentially the Mk III with some additional armour fitted and a new machine gun.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]
				Several hundred were produced, making up the majority of the early British cruiser tanks. It saw limited action in France, though its rushed delivery meant it suffered numerous mechanical issues. Most of its service was in the early stages of North Africa where it was largely praised by troops, but like many tanks in that theatre it proved vulnerable to german anti-tank guns.
