When the Air Ministry issued requirements in 1934 for a new night bomber, Armstrong Whitworth decided to adapt their failed A.W.23 bomber-transport. Retaining the wings and tail of the A.W.23, Armstrong Whitworth developed an all-new semi-monocoque fuselage. The distinct nose and tail turret remained as the bomber’s only defensive armament, but bomb bays were added in the fuselage and inner wing sections, providing provisions for a total payload capacity of 7,000lb. Because of the added weight, Armstrong Whitworth needed to compensate to allow takeoff and landing rolls to still be reasonable. As its engineers were uncomfortable working with flaps on such a large machine, they instead gave the wings an 8.5 degree angle of incidence. While it would improve low-speed performance, it made cruising flight inefficient, as the bomber was forced to fly with a noticeable nose-down attitude. The first prototype took flight in March 1936, but before the bomber had even flown an order for 80 had been placed owing to the urgent need to modernize the inventory

The Whitley first entered service in March 1937, replacing the biplane Heyford. Seven squadrons would be operational by the outbreak of war in 1939, all of which were later mark variants that mounted the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Even with the new engine, however, the Whitley was obsolete by the outbreak of war. They were called into action on the first night of the war, dropping propaganda leaflets over Germany. Together with Hampdens, they made the first bombing raid on German soil on the night of March 19, 1940,...

Despite the obsolescence of the Whitley, it continued to fly in RAF service well into the war. Over 1,000 would be produced, with the bombers flying nearly 9,000 missions and dropping almost 10,000 tons of bombs for the loss of 269 aircraft. They were finally retired from frontline service at the end of 1942, with the bombers shifting over to transport and electronic warfare duties. In that role, the Whitley continued to fly over Europe, towing gliders and deploying paratroopers on various covert operations. RAF...

It’s time for another episode of /k/ Planes! This time, we’ll be looking at the bombers of the Royal Air Force.
As one of the world’s first air forces, the British Royal Air Force would have a long and influential career in bomber development. Getting its start with the Royal Flying Corps in WW1, early doctrine centered on the use of light bombers for tactical duties. However, by the time the RFC became the RAF in 1918, the utility of multi-engined strategic bombers had been realized. Through the interwar period, the RAF would come to operate a wide variety of bombers,...

The Royal Aircraft Factory’s B.E.2c biplane would be the first domestically produced aircraft to serve as a bomber with the RFC. First flown in 1912, the B.E.2 was designed as a general-purpose aircraft. Large numbers were sent to France with the British Expeditionary Force in 1914, though these were primarily early variants that were rapidly replaced once more modern aircraft became available. By the end of 1914, the B.E.2c would begin reaching frontline units, providing the RFC with a robust and reliable aircraft to perform operations. The B.E.2c was a simple two-seat tractor biplane that was generally stable and easy to fly, making it a prime choice for combat roles. Initially, the B.E.2c was used for reconnaissance, carrying a camera off the side of the fuselage to be operated by the observer. However, it would gradually take on bomber roles as well.
>>30155687
Though the B.E.2c would prove capable of carrying bombs, it was hardly a practical arrangement. To operate as a bomber, the aircraft had to fly without its observer, and endurance was limited. Unfortunately, the modest performance of the B.E.2c was quickly found to be a liability after the appearance of the first German fighters. Though the B.E.2c could be fitted with a defensive gun, the placement of the observer ahead of the pilot and under the wing limited its usefulness, and, unsurprisingly, losses mounted. Despite...

One of the first bomber aircraft to operate with the Royal Flying Corps would be a pre-war design from the French manufacturer Farman. The MF.11 was a simple two-man sesquiplane pusher design, powered by a 100hp Renault engine and fitted with a single machinegun in the forward cockpit. Originally designed for reconnaissance, it would occasionally mount a small payload of eighteen 16lb bombs on underwing racks. In the first years of the war, the MF.11 saw considerable use, with an RNAS MF.11 making the first bombing...

Let's talk about shit you put on your head.
I'm talking helmets, scarves, gas masks, sunglasses, masks, anything that you would wear from the neck up while *operating* (or hunting).
Talk about the benefits said piece of headwear offers.

Do you one better.
Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
How is everyone celebrating?
>>30146751
It's national, not international.
So I don't give a shit.

Apparently they don't want to stop acts of evil since they won't let people have the means to defend themselves in places where gun violence happens
shoot well doggo
Kind of a noob question but why did bolt actions overtake lever actions when lever actions seem simpler and can shoot faster?
Is it a caliber thing?
>>30222913
Bolt actions are stronger, simpler, easier to maintain, and most can take pointed bullets, while most levers need flat point bullets
>>30222931
That's not true though.
Winchester 1895.
>>30222913
Larger cartridges, simpler and more rugged actions, and easier to use while prone, which is important for soldiers who usually spend most of their time lying in the dirt
Is there a 9mm that:
1) Is all steel
2) Is not that heavy
3) Is small enough to conceal IWB
4) Is DA/SA with a decocker
5) Is reliable

I'm guessing this has been poster before but would like to see /k/'s opinions on it.

At first I was skeptical and thought this was an ATF bait video for idiots but when you go to their website they go to great lengths to cite the various laws pertaining to the subject to clarify that these kits do not violate the law as they are currently sold and only become illegal after modifying them. They even offer raw material kits for those who are still not convinced it's some sort of trap.

It is what they say it is. It's legal until you modify it. Do a mail order and have it sent to a friend who doesn't own an AR If you're worried.
>>30221347
>>30221391
This.
The kit isn't illegal, modifying and installing it is the part that would get you in trouble. If you wanted to purchase one to put it in your AR, it'd probably be best not to make a thread about it.
>>30221523
OP here
I don't even own an AR to put it in, I am just curious as to how they have modified your typical stock AR to be FA without heavy modification to the gun itself like you have to do with RDIAS and other methods.
anyone at /k/ have an empty space the size of a MiG in their garage they'd like to fill?

No thanks.

apparently yes, this seems to be a legit sale add on a Finnish website, I'd include the link but that would probably be considered advertising...
J.P. Sauer and Sohn .357 mag I picked up yesterday. Did I do alright /k/
>>30220598
yes, although wrong caliber for cowboy action shooting I think

Yeah I was torn between the .45LC but it just turned out to be cheaper with the .357.

excellent!
