    Operation Husky was de aanduiding voor de eerste gezamenlijk door Britten en Amerikanen uitgevoerde landingsoperatie, waarbij zowel zee- als lucht- en landstrijdkrachten van beide landen moesten samenwerken. Kort gezegd: het woordje “us” moest door “we” vervangen worden. Een gezamenlijk commando en samenwerkende strijdmachten was toen nog niet vanzelfsprekend. Je wordt geen generaal of admiraal als je ook […]

    Readers that are familiar with the military aviation history know the Fieseler Storch. A famous STOL aircraft built during the second world war by Gerhard Fieseler for the German Luftwaffe with its specific silhouette and characteristics.
