Aircraft of the Second world war included in my number and the YAK-3. Under it should be understood a single-engine fighter, which had been developed under the leadership of Alexander Yakovlev. The plane was a great continuation of the Yak-1. Manufacture of the flying machine was 1994 and 1945. During this time, managed to construct about 5 thousand fighters. The plane was named the best world war II fighter aircraft designed for low altitude. This model was adopted in France.
Aircraft of the Soviet Union had learned a lot since the invention of the YAK-7 (UTI-26). This is a single-engine aircraft designed by Alexander Yakovlev. Used with position training aircraft. Production began in 1942. Rose in the air about 6 thousand of these models.

Aircraft of the Soviet Union had such a fighter as K-9. This is the most mass model, the production of which lasted about 6 years, starting in 1942. During this time, it was constructed around 17 thousand aircraft. Despite the fact that the model had a few differences from the aircraft, the FC-7 to all the factors it has become more a perfect continuation of the series.
When Discussing a topic such as aircraft of the Second world war, it should be noted the aircraft called Pawn (PE-2). It's a dive bomber, which is the most popular in its class. This model was used extensively on the battlefield.
Soviet aircraft of the Second world war included in its membership such a flying machine as the PE-3. Under this model, it should be understood twin-engine fighter. Its main feature was the all-metal design. The development was carried out in the OKB-29. As the basis was taken a dive bomber PE-2. Oversaw production of Vladimir Petlyakov. The first plane was constructed in 1941. From the bomber it is distinguished by absence of the lower hatch for the infantry unit. Was not braking grids.
Military aircraft of the USSR during the Second world war was added to this high-altitude fighter like the MIG-3. This aircraft was used in a variety of ways. Among the main differences are the fact that he can climb to a height of 12 thousand meters. Speed when it reached a high enough level. With the help of the fighter pilots successfully fought with enemy aircraft.
Speaking on a topic such as aircraft of the Second world war, it should be noted the model called LaGG-3. This fighter-monoplane, which was in service with the red army air force. It was used from the perspective of a fighter, interceptor, bomber, scout. Production lasted from 1941 to 1944. Designers are Lavochkin, Gorbunov, Gudkov. Among the positive qualities should distinguish the presence of powerful weapons, high survivability, minimal use of rare materials. The main source of resources in the creation of a fighter used pine and plywood.
Military aviation was in its stock model La-5, the construction of which was under the leadership of Lavochkin. This is a fighter-monoplane. The main characteristics is the presence of only one place, the enclosed cockpit, wooden frame and the same with the wing spars. The production of this aircraft began in 1942. In the beginning, as the weapons were only used automatic 20-mm cannon in the amount of two pieces. The designers placed them in the front above the motor. Instrumentation was simple. There was not even any gyroscopic device. And if you compare this aircraft with the aerial vehicles used by Germany, America or England, it would seem that he is very strongly lags behind them in technical terms. However, the flight characteristics were on a high level. Everything else, simple design, no need for time-consuming maintenance, undemanding to the conditions of takeoff fields made the model just perfect for that age. In one year we developed about one thousand fighters.
The History of Soviet aviation keeps mentioning abouta model such as the La-7. This is a single-seat fighter-monoplane, the design of which was developed by Lavochkin. The first such aircraft was released in 1944. In the air, he rose in February. In may it was decided to start its mass production. Almost all the pilots who became heroes of the Soviet Union, flew La-7.
Military aircraft of the Soviet Union included the model U-2 (PO-2). This multi-purpose biplane, which was headed by Polikarpov in 1928. Main purpose the achievement of which was the production of the aircraft was the training of pilots. For it was characterized by the presence of a good aerobatic qualities. When the Great Patriotic war, the standard model was decided to be converted into light night bomber planes. Load when it reached 350 kg. the Plane was mass-produced until 1953. For all the time managed to produce about 33 thousand models.
Military aircraft of the Second world war included such a machine as the Tu-2. This model is also known under the names ANT-58 and 103, the Tu-2. This twin-engine bomber that could reach high speed flight. For all time of its production was designed in order 2257 models. Armed bomber was until 1950.
Equally popular such aircraft as the Il-2. Attack aircraft were also called “the hunchback". This contributed to the shape of the fuselage. The designers called the car flying tank. The German pilots a similar model called the concrete plane and cemented bomber in connection with a particular strength. Production of attack aircraft engaged Ilyushin.
German aircraft of the Second world war included such a model as a "Messerschmitt Bf.109". This piston fighter-low. It was used as interceptor, fighter, bomber and scout. This is the most popular aircraft in the history of the Second world war (model 33984). Almost all of the German pilots started to fly on this plane.
"Messerschmitt Bf.110" - heavy fighter strategic. Due to the fact that it cannot be used for its intended purpose, the model was transformed into a bomber. The plane was widely used in different countries. He participated in fighting in various parts of the globe. Good luck to this aircraft accompanied in connection with the suddenness of his appearance. However, if inflamed maneuver battle, the model lost almost always. In this regard, this aircraft was withdrawn from the front in 1943.
"Messerschmitt Me.163" (Comet) - rocket interceptor. First took to the air in 1941 at the beginning of September. Did not differ mass production. By 1944, it was released a total of 44 models. The first sortie took place only in 1944. Only with their help were shot down only 9 aircraft with the loss of 11.
"Messerschmitt Me.210" - heavy fighter, which acted as a replacement for model Bf.110. His first flight was made in 1939. In design, the model had several defects, in which its military value quite badly damaged. All the light went out for about 90 models. 320 aircraft was never completed.
"Messerschmitt Me.262" – the jet fighter, which also acted as a bomber and reconnaissance. The world's first jet aircraft which took part in the fighting. Also it can be considered the world's first jet fighter. As the primary weapons were the 30 mm guns that were mounted near the bow. In this regard, was provided heap and heavy fire.
"Hawker hurricane" - single-seat fighter aircraft of the British production, released in 1939. During the production of the light came about 14 thousand models. In connection with a variety of modification the car was used as an interceptor, bomber and attack aircraft. There were some modifications that were meant to takeoff from carriers. Among the German aces, the aircraft was called the ‘bucket of bolts". This is due to the fact that it was quite difficult to manage and slowly gained altitude.
"Supermarine Spitfire" – fighter of British origin, which has the same motor and all-metal monoplane with a wing, are quite low. The chassis of this model was to remove. A variety of modifications allowed us to apply the model as a fighter, interceptor, bomber and scout. It produced about 20 thousand cars. Some of them were used to 50 years. Mainly used only at the beginning of the war.
"Hawker Typhoon" – a single bomber, whose production was carried on until 1945. The armament consisted until 1947. The development was carried out in order to use it from the position of the interceptor. Is one of the most successful fighters. However, there were some problems, which include a low rate of climb. The first flight took place in 1940.
Japanese aircraft of the Second world war basically copied the model of thoseplanes that were used in Germany. A large number of fighters were made to support ground troops in combat. Also implied local air supremacy. Quite often the aircraft during the Second world war it was used for RAID on China. It is worth noting that the Japanese aircraft was not strategic bombers. Among the main fighters are: Nakajima Ki-27, Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki, Kawasaki Ki-45 Toryu and Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien. Japanese air force also used the transport, training, reconnaissance aircraft. In aviation there is a place for models for special purposes.
What else can I say on such a subject as aviation of the Second world war? The United States also did not stand aside. The Americans for quite understandable reasons quite thoroughly approached the development of the Navy and air force. Most likely, it is this thoroughness and played a role in that American-made aircraft were among the most powerful not only in numbers but also in opportunities. By the beginning of hostilities in the US Arsenal consisted of models such as the Curtiss P-40. However, after some time this car was replaced by P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning. As strategic bombers used planes like the b-17 FlyingFortress and B-24 Liberator. In order to be able to conduct strategic bombing on Japan in America has constructed a model aircraft b-29 Superfortress.
Aircraft of the Second world war played a significant role. No aircraft, no cost virtually no battle. However, there is nothing strange in the fact that States competed not only on earth but in the air. Accordingly, the training of the pilots, and creating new planes for each country fits with a large share of responsibility. In this review, we tried to consider those aerial vehicles that were used (successfully and not) in combat.
