The Bf 109 G-series was developed from the largely identical F-series airframe, although there were detail differences. Modifications included a reinforced wing structure, an internal bullet-proof windscreen, the use of heavier, welded framing for the cockpit transparencies, and additional light-alloy armour for the fuel tank. It was originally intended that the wheel wells would incorporate small doors to cover the outer portion of the wheels when retracted. To incorporate these the outer wheel bays were squared off. Two small inlet scoops for additional cooling of the spark plugs were added on both sides of the forward engine cowlings. A less obvious difference was the omission of the boundary layer bypass outlets, which had been a feature of the F-series, on the upper radiator flaps.

Emiliano Zapata
On this day in history, April 10, 1919, Emiliano Zapata was killed by governative forces at Morelos.
But who was this fascinating mustached man?
Born on August 8, 1879 in a really poor family with 10 children under the dictatorial regime of Porfirio Diaz, he started his political career in 1909, when he became the mayor of a small town in Mexico. In 1910, he started occupying and redistributing lands to the poor farmers and, towards the end of the year, he started the armed fight against the regime, becoming the leader of the revolution of the South. His war against the regim was long and wearing, and because of the skills in the guerrilla warfare of Pancho Villa and him, he managed to defeat the governative forces many times and, even after he entered Mexico City as a winner he refused to become the president saying "I don't fight for this. I fight for the lands. I fight to make them return them."
In 1917 it was also promulgated the Constitution of Mexico, the first constitution ever that include the fundamental social right.
However, he was betrayed and killed in an ambush in 1919, marking the death of a great men who really cared about the people, and tried to make his country a better place.~Alexandros

More pics from the Russian Constitutional Crisis in October 1993.
The first 3 pictures depict Spetsnaz soldiers of ‘Alpha’ group preparing to enter the Russian White House.
Most of these men wear TTsKO uniforms and 6B5 vests. VSR and Sun Ray uniforms are also being worn. Note the leather jackets being worn by a few guys.
The 4th and 5th pictures show Russian infantry behind cover during the siege. Again you can see a mix of TTsKO and VSR. The last picture shows a BTR crewman in a TTsKO uniform.

From the hedgerow of Normandy, France, to the hills of Italy and the plains of Netherlands, the Firefly was one of the few Allied tanks the Germans learned to fear… Among the most potent Allied conversion of the war, and certainly one of the deadliest version of the Sherman, it was a clever -although risky and improvised- move to try to keep up with the latest German tank developments. At that time, the “basic” M4 Sherman equipped the Allies almost exclusively, from the US to the British, Canadian, ANZACS, Free Polish and Free French forces, and its limitations were well known before 1944.

During a mission over southern France, a B-26 Marauder receives a direct impact on the right engine, which can be seen falling with the propeller still spinning. The right landing gear is down. The pilot failed to regain control of the aircraft, which crashed moments after the photo was taken.

Queen Elizabeth with the 18 year old Princess Elizabeth visiting the 6th Airborne Division. She is seen here talking to Cpl. 'Jungle' Jones of the 22 Independent Parachute Company.
The aircraft in the background is a Handley Page Halifax ready to tow a Hamilcar glider and the other is a Short Sterling with a Horsa glider in tow (out of shot). 6th Airborne commander, Major General Richard ‘Windy’ Gal, "I remember one incident. We were demonstrating to them a new method of unloading guns from the Horsa glider. Something had evidently gone wrong inside and the gunner concerned, unaware that all he said could easily be heard outside, made one or two colourful remarks about the gun lashings with which he was having difficulty.
Eventually the job was done, really much quicker than it had seemed to me, who was so anxiously waiting. The Queen congratulated the gunners on their work, saying with her gracious smile, she could well guess how difficult it had been."
May 19, 1944

A German soldier of Panzer-Grenadier-Division Großdeutschland lets a kitten play with the magazine belt of an MG-34 machine gun in the compartment of a Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. Russia, 1942.
Cats have long had a place in war as ship's cats or dugout mousers or the mascots of fighting groups. Countless times, too, they've been adopted by soldiers who find them left behind in war zones, their human families put to flight or worse. These cats were often held as mascots, and played an important part in keeping morale high.
In World War I, the British army employed upwards of 500 000 cats as ratters but also as mobile gas detectors.
Cats also have their own built-in bomb detectors. Whether they are simply attuned to changes in atmospheric pressure or they have a sixth sense, some cats are particularly good at knowing when a bomb is about to hit.
During World War II, families soon learned to follow their cats into bomb or air-raid shelters, saving many lives. Among the most famous cats was one appropriately named Bomber. This cat could distinguish between the sounds made by RAF and German aircraft from a surprising distance. When Bomber headed for shelter, his family followed, making him a feline early warning system.
