Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M),[nb 1] and the related Centaur (A27L) tank, were one of the most successful series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in the Second World War. The Cromwell tank, named after the English Civil War leader Oliver Cromwell, was the first tank put into service by the British to combine a dual-purpose gun, high speed from the powerful and reliable Meteor engine, and reasonable armour, all in one balanced package. Its design formed the basis of the Comet tank.
The Cromwell and Centaur differed in the engine used. While the Centaur had the Liberty engine of the predecessor cruiser tank, the Crusader (and the interim A24 Cavalier), the Cromwell had the significantly more powerful Meteor. Apart from the engine and associated transmission differences, the two tanks were effectively the same and many Centaurs built were given the Meteor to make them Cromwells.
The Cromwell first saw action in the Battle of Normandy in June 1944. The tank equipped the armoured reconnaissance regiments, of the Royal Armoured Corps, within the 7th, 11th, and Guards Armoured Divisions. While the armoured regiments of the latter two divisions were equipped with M4 Shermans, the armoured regiments of the 7th Armoured Division were fully equipped with Cromwell tanks. The Centaurs were not generally used for combat except for those fitted with a 95mm Howitzer which were used in support of the Royal Marines during the invasion of Normandy.

Military paper model P-51D Mustang

P-51D Mustang


  • Manufacturer: North American Aviation
  • Power Plant: 1600 hp Packard-built Merlin 61 piston engine
  • Top Speed: 437 mph
  • Armament: Six wing-mounted .50-caliber machine guns
Fitted with external drop-tanks the Mustang's range was extended to almost 2,000 miles, making it the only Allied fighter capable of protecting the Allied bombers on long-range, deep-penetration raids.
The Mustang performed its job so well that after its introduction in 1944, casualty rates for bomber crews were reduced by 75 percent. In fact, American P51s destroyed almost 5,000 enemy aircraft in Europe - making it the highest scoring U. S. fighter in the European theater of operations.

Military papercraft model F-15C Eagle

F-15C Eagle


  • Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglass
  • Power Plant: Two Pratt & Whitney F-100-PW-100 after-burning turbofans
  • Top Speed: Mach 2.5
  • Armament: One 20-mm cannon, four AIM-7F Sparrow and four AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles
No other fighter in the history of aerial combat has a record that even comes close to the Eagle's. The F-15 is far superior to most of its brethren - way better than the F-4 - accelerating better, turning better, handling better.
In fact, such is the reputation of the F-15 that during the opening phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Saddam Hussein's air force simply refused to get in the air. They knew the F-15 would just knock them out of the sky.

Military papercraft model F-4 Phantom

F-4 Phantom


  • Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglass
  • Power Plant: Two J79 Spey turbojet afterburning engines
  • Top Speed: 1,485 mph
  • Armament: Four AIM 7 Sparrow and four AIM 9 Sidewinder missiles.
Produced in large numbers the F-4 Phantom has an unrivaled service history. But the aircraft really earns its third place ranking for being fast, durable and deadly.
Phantoms were the test bed for missile technology - and the aircraft held five speed records for an impressive 13 years before being beaten by the aircraft featured in the No. 2 spot on our list of the top 10 fighters of all time.

Military papercraft model A Tie! MiG 15 & F-86 Sabre

A Tie! MiG 15 & F-86 Sabre

MiG 15

  • Manufacturer: Mikoyan Gurevich Design Bureau
  • Power Plant: Klimov VK-1 turbojet
  • Top Speed: 668 mph
  • Armament: One 37mm N-37 cannon and two 23mm NR-23 cannon

F-86 Sabre

  • Manufacturer: North American
  • Power Plant: General Electric J47 engine
  • Top Speed: 685 mph
  • Armament: Six .50-caliber machine guns and eight 5-inch rockets
Compared to today's fighters both these jets are underpowered and primitive but few aircraft have done so well at the job they were designed to do. Both the F-86 Sabre and MiG 15 were the right aircraft at the right time and each richly deserve a prominent place in aviation history.
Both designs relied heavily on captured German swept-wing technology and British engine design, so for innovation the MiG and Sabre are equally matched. Both fighters were produced in large numbers, but the MiG edges in front of the Sabre in the production category because of its renowned simplicity. Both jets have similar service records. The result? They are inseparable in the rankings: the MiG 15 and F-86 Sabre tie for fourth place.

Military papercraft model Supermarine Spitfire

Supermarine Spitfire

  • Manufacturer: Supermarine Aviation Works
  • Power Plant: Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 piston engine
  • Top Speed: 369 mph
  • Armament: Eight Browning .303 machine guns; later version, four 20mm cannon
Used in all British theaters of conflict throughout the Second World War the Spitfire remains the unrivaled symbol of victory and Britain's finest hour. But the Spitfire is also famous for giving Field Marshall Erwin Rommel the scare of his life.
On July 17, 1944, in the north of France, a Canadian pilot named Charlie Fox shot at the car carrying the German military mastermind and knocked it off the road, putting Germany's "Desert Fox" out of commission.

Military papercraft model Sopwith Camel

Sopwith Camel


  • Manufacturer: Sopwith Aviation Company
  • Power Plant: Clerget rotary engine
  • Top Speed: 112 mph
  • Armament: Two Vickers .303 machine guns
Credited with destroying at least 1,200 enemy aircraft, the Sopwith Camel rightly deserves to be called one of the best fighters of all time. Its solid, if unspectacular, scoring across the board ensures its standing in eighth place on the list of the greatest fighters of all time.
