    A Handley Page Hampden from No. 83 Squadron, with its crew perched on a bomb trolley at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, October 1940. The aircraft did what it was designed to do, but crews often grumbled about long hours in the air, as the Hampden wasn’t the most comfortable place to spend a mission.

    An SBD-4 Dauntless photographed in flight on 6 March 1943 represents a period when the type was firmly established as the United States Navy’s principal carrier-based dive bomber. The aircraft was a variant of the Douglas SBD Dauntless, which had already proved decisive in 1942 during actions...

    Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat of VMF(N)-513 at Wonsan, Korea, 1950, finished in a dead-flat black scheme for night fighting. No shouting for attention, no gloss, no nonsense… just light-absorbing paint to keep reflections down during radar-guided interceptions and low-level night work. It suited the...

    The "Judge" took its final bow in 1971 with a 455 HO engine that prioritizes 480 lb-ft of torque over high-revving horsepower. With only 11 manuals and 6 automatics ever built, this rare bird is a million-dollar unicorn that signals the end of the original muscle car era.

    What a shame that the photographer here was not able to fit this entire train in his view finder. Written on the negative sleeve was the notation "Six engines on one train leaving Manitou, Colorado, May 28, 1939. Really? Six engines? Yes, that was known to happen back in steam days. The train...

    While this may look like just another steam locomotive in transit, when you see who she is and the date of the photo, the rest of the story unfolds. In this photo we see Georgia-Pacific #9 in Portland, Oregon on September 6, 1960 on her way to star in the movie "Ring Of Fire". #9 pulled the...

    This rare four-door hidden gem features Magnetic Ride Control and a 6-speed manual to deliver a genuine Corvette driving experience. With only 12,488 units ever sold, it remains one of the most practical and undervalued performance bargains on the used market.

    Nice cars other than x-fire

    Equipped with the "Drag Pack" Super Cobra Jet V8, this rare muscle car pumped out a secret 400 horsepower and hit 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. Only 1,631 were built, with just 73 featuring the top-tier engine, making it a forgotten legend that remains a ghost to most modern collectors.
