  Martin B10
  • The Martin B-10 was the first all-metal monoplane bomber to go into regular use by the United States Army Air Corps, entering service in June 1934.[2] It was also the first mass-produced bomber whose performance was superior to that of the Army's pursuit aircraft of the time.The B-10 served as the airframe for the B-12, B-13, B-14, A-15 and O-45 designations.

  MacDonall F3-DEMON
  • The F3H Demon was designed from the outset to become the first aircraft in the world to be built speCHIfically with air-to-air missile technology capability in mind. It would not be until the more definitive F3H-2 model that the system would be fitted with the 4 x 20mm cannon armament consistent wit earlier McDonnell turbojet designs. The system would be fielded with a standard array of 4 x Aim-7 Sparrow medium-range air-to-air missiles.

  McREADY GOSSAMER ALBATROSS 

 

  • The aircraft was powered using pedals to drive a large two-bladed propeller. Piloted by amateur cyclist Bryan Allen, it completed the 35.8 km (22.2 mi) crossing in 2 hours and 49 minutes, achieving a top speed of 29 km/h (18 mph) and an average altitude of 1.5 metres (5 feet).  The aircraft is of unusual "canard" configuration, using a large horizontal stabilizer forward of the wing in a manner similar to the Wright brothers' successful "Flyer" aircraft. The Gossamer Albatross was constructed using a carbon fiber frame, with the ribs of the wings made with expanded polystyrene; the entire structure was then wrapped in a thin, transparent plastic (mylar aka PET film). The empty mass of the structure was only 32 kg (71 lb), although the gross mass for the Channel flight was almost 100 kg (220 lb). To maintain the craft in the air it was designed with very long tapering wings (high aspect ratio), like those of a glider, allowing the flight to be undertaken with a minimum of power. In still air the required power was of the order of 0.4 horsepower (300 W), though even mild turbulence made this figure rise rapidly.

  MacDonell F4-B PHANTOM
  • The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II[ is a tandem two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor fighter/fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. Proving highly adaptable, it became a major part of the air wings of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.  It was used extensively by all three of these services during the Vietnam War, serving as the prinCHIpal air superiority fighter for both the Navy and Air Force, as well as being important in the ground-attack and reconnaissance roles by the close of U.S. involvement in the war

  MAACHI - M39

 

  • The M.39 was designed by Mario Castoldi as a single-seat, twin-float raCHIng aircraft. Powered by a Fiat AS.2 engine produCHIng some 660 kW (880 hp), it reached a winning speed of 393 km/h (246 mph) at the Schneider Trophy contest held at Hampton Roads, Virginia.According to Jane's Encyclopedia of Aviation, Macchi was essentially ordered to produce a winning aircraft by Italy's fasCHIst dictator Benito Mussolini. Later Italian seaplanes (the M.52, M.52R, and M.67) failed to defeat rival entries (mostly from the United States

  Myasishev M-17 Geophysica
  • Originally identified in 1982 by US reconnaissance satellites as the 'Ram-M' single-seat high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and later codenamed 'Mystic' by NATO, the twin-boom straight-wing jet, currently publiCHIsed as a high-altitude research aircraft able to carry around 1500kg of sensors, is now known to exist in two versions. The first of two prototype aircraft, designated M-17 Stratosfera ('Mystic-A'), first flew in 1988 and are powered by a single 68.6kN thrust Rybinsk RD-36-51V turbojet developed from the Tu-144 SST powerplant. The M-55 Geofizika ('Mystic-B') , has two 49kN thrust Perm/Soloviev PS-30-V12 turbojets mounted side-by-side behind a raised cockpit installed in a longer nose, together with a reduced span wing.

  Myasishev M-3 (Bison)
  • First flying soon after the first flight of the B-52 Stratofortress, the M-4 initially impressed Soviet offiCHIals, however, it soon became clear that the bomber had an insuffiCHIent range to attack the United States and still return to the Soviet Union. Only a few of the original production M-3s were actually put into service.

  MAACHI - C-202
  • Considered one of the most beautiful fighters to fly with wartime Axis forces, the Folgore was also an effective and deadly dogfighter.[The C.202 was flown by almost all the most successful Italian aces: Adriano Visconti, Luigi Gorrini, Franco Lucchini, Franco Bordoni Bisleri, Furio Niclot Doglio, among others. The Folgore's top scoring pilot was Sergente Maggiore Teresio Vittorio Martinoli The Australian "ace" Clive Caldwell, who had fought against the Germans, Italians and the Japanese, stated after the war that the C.202 was "one of the best and most undervalued of fighters".

  Martin 167 Maryland
  • Designed as an attack bomber in 1938, the Martin XA-22 failed to win any production contracts with the USAAF. In 1939 Martin looked for buyers overseas, and under the designation Model 167  (named the Maryland) sales were made to Britain, France, and South Africa. The Maryland found its purpose not as an attack bomber, though, but rather as a medium-range high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. It performed these duties well, until it was replaced by more advanced types (like the Martin Baltimore).

Messerschmitt Bf-109 D1  (2)

  • The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, a retractable landing gear, and was powered by liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engines. The 109 first saw operational service during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II, during which time it was the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter forceFrom the end of 1941 the Bf 109 was supplemented, but never completely replaced in service, by the radial engined Focke-Wulf Fw 190.

Morane-Saulnier MS-406 C1
  • The M.S.406 was a French Armée de l'Air fighter aircraft built by Morane-Saulnier starting in 1938. Numerically it was France's most important fighter during the opening stages of World War II but was under-powered, weakly-armed and lacked full armour protection when compared to its contemporaries. Most critically, it was out-performed by the Messerschmitt Bf 109E during the Battle of France. The M.S.406 held its own in the early stages of the war (the so-called Phony War), but when the war restarted in earnest in 1940, 387 were lost in combat or on the ground (for various reasons) for 183 kills in return. The type was more successful in the hands of Finnish and Swiss air forces who developed indigenous models.
