දෙවන රැල්ලේ නකජිමා B5N "කේට්" ටෝපීඩෝ බෝම්බ යානයක් මරණයේ සහ විනාශයේ භූ දර්ශනයක් හරහා ඉහළින් පියාසර කරයි. පහළින් පිහිටන්නේ හිකම් ගුවන් තොටුපොළ වන අතර, එහිදී එක්සත් ජනපද ගුවන් යානා විනාශ කර ඇත.

1941 දෙසැම්බර් 7 වන දින ප්‍රහාරයේ පළමු රැල්ලේදී ටෝපීඩෝ වලින් සන්නද්ධ B5N "කේට්" යානා හතළිහක් "යුධ නෞකා පේළිය" ඉලක්ක කර ගනිමින් USS Oklahoma සහ USS West Virginia යුධ නැව් ගිල්වා දැමීය.

පර්ල් වරාය ප්‍රධාන පුවත් ශීර්ෂ ලබා ගත් අතර, එය ජපානයේ පැසිෆික් සාගරය හරහා දැවැන්ත ප්‍රහාරයේ ආරම්භක පියවර පමණක් විය. පර්ල් වරායට බෝම්බ හෙලීමෙන් පැයකට ඇතුළත, ජපාන හමුදා ගිනිකොන දිග ආසියාව සහ පැසිෆික් සාගරය පුරා එකවර ප්‍රහාර දියත් කළහ.

එම පළමු දිනයේදීම, ජපානය පිලිපීනය, ගුවාම්, හොංකොං, වේක් දූපත, සිංගප්පූරුව වෙත පහර දුන් අතර, මලයාව සහ තායිලන්තය ආක්‍රමණය කර, ගොඩබිමෙදිම මිත්‍ර පාක්ෂික ගුවන් යානා දුසිම් ගණනක් විනාශ කළේය. ඉන්පසු මාස ගණනක් මිත්‍ර පාක්ෂික පරාජයන් ඇති විය—බ්‍රිතාන්‍ය යුධ නෞකා Repulse සහ Prince of Wales අහිමි වීම, සිංගප්පූරුවේ වැටීම (පළමු ලෝක යුද්ධයෙන් පසු බ්‍රිතාන්‍යයේ දරුණුතම පරාජය), සහ බටාන්, ජාවා මුහුද සහ බුරුමයේ ව්‍යසනයන්.

ජපානයේ නැවැත්විය නොහැකි බව පෙනෙන ඉදිරි ගමන 1942 ජූනි මාසයේ මිඩ්වේ සටන දක්වා නතර නොවුන අතර, ගුවාඩල්කැනාල් සහ නිව් ගිනියාවේ දරුණු සටන් තුළින් අවසානයේ තත්ත්වය හැරී ගියේය.
පර්ල් හාබර් හුදෙක් ප්‍රහාරයක් නොව—එය සමස්ත පැසිෆික් කලාපයට ආධිපත්‍යය දැරීමට ජපානයේ උත්සාහයේ ආරම්භය විය.

Forty B5N "Kates" armed with torpedoes targeted "Battleship Row" in the first wave of the attack in 7th December 1941, sinking the USS Oklahoma and USS West Virginia.

While Pearl Harbor grabbed headlines, it was just the opening move in Japan's massive coordinated assault across the Pacific. Within one hour of bombing Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces launched simultaneous attacks across Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

On that first day alone, Japan struck the Philippines, Guam, Hong Kong, Wake Island, Singapore, invaded Malaya and Thailand, and destroyed dozens of Allied aircraft on the ground. What followed were months of Allied defeats—the loss of British battleships Repulse and Prince of Wales, the fall of Singapore (Britain's worst defeat since WWI), and disasters at Bataan, Java Sea, and Burma.

Japan's seemingly unstoppable advance wouldn't be halted until the Battle of Midway in June 1942, with the tide finally turning through brutal fighting on Guadalcanal and New Guinea.

Pearl Harbor wasn't just an attack—it was the start of Japan's attempt to dominate the entire Pacific region.

In 1968, U.S. Army dentists found an ingenious solution to reach soldiers at remote Vietnam War outposts - fly the entire dental clinic to them! 🚁🦷

The "1st Air Cavity" was a fully-equipped mobile dental unit housed in a salvaged shop van, complete with generators, water supply, high-speed drills, and X-ray machines.

Using the massive Sikorsky CH-54 "Flying Crane" helicopter, this flying clinic could be airlifted over dense jungle and placed directly at forward fire bases. This footage shows the clinic being delivered to Hill 1338 near Dak To - site of fierce combat just months earlier. Within 30 minutes of landing, dentists were treating soldiers who couldn't leave their posts. The team spent one week at each isolated camp, ensuring troops stayed combat-ready despite being far from traditional medical facilities.

An incredible piece of military medical history showing American innovation during the Vietnam War.

The term "Hurribomber" was an unofficial nickname for the Hawker Hurricane Mk II fighter aircraft (specifically the Mk IIB and IIC variants) when it was used in the ground attack, or fighter-bomber, role. This role change came after the Hurricane was outclassed as a pure air-superiority fighter by newer German aircraft like the Bf 109F following the Battle of Britain.

While initially designed as a fighter, the Mk II Hurricane was adapted for ground attack missions, particularly in North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Far East, where its robust design and stable gun platform made it effective for close air support.

The Mk II series was powered by the more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine, which improved performance over the Mk I but did not make it a match for the fastest enemy fighters at altitude. The key to the "Hurribomber" role was the introduction of a "universal wing" that could carry a variety of underwing stores.

The main "Hurribomber" variants were:

Hurricane Mk IIB: This version featured a wing armed with twelve 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns and could carry two 250 lb (113 kg) bombs, later increased to two 500 lb (227 kg) bombs, on underwing racks. It was effective against "soft" targets like trucks and infantry.

Hurricane Mk IIC: This widely produced variant was armed with four 20 mm Hispano cannons mounted in the wings and could also carry two 250 lb or 500 lb bombs, or later, eight 3-inch rocket projectiles. The cannons gave it significant firepower against a wider range of targets.

Hurricane Mk IID: This was a dedicated anti-tank variant, often referred to as the "tank buster" or "flying can opener". It carried two massive 40 mm Vickers Type S cannons in underwing pods, along with two .303 in machine guns used for aiming with tracer rounds.

The "Hurribomber" proved highly successful in its new role, especially in theaters where ground attack was a priority and enemy fighter opposition was less intense or could be countered by accompanying fighters (like the more nimble Spitfire, which took over the air superiority role). Its sturdy construction meant it could withstand significant damage and still return to base, making it a reliable workhorse for close air support operations throughout the middle and later stages of World War II.

This promotional video from late 60s shows the capabilities, weapon systems, and roles that performed by Hughes OH-6 Cayuse variants.

The OH-6 Cayuse (nicknamed "Loach," an acronym for Light Observation Helicopter) is a single-engine, four-bladed light utility helicopter known for its agility and extensive use in the Vietnam War. It was primarily developed for observation, transport, and attack/escort missions, and remains in service today through its numerous variants. It features a distinctive teardrop-shaped fuselage, a four-bladed main rotor (later variants use five), and a rugged, lightweight aluminum structure. This design contributed to its high maneuverability and surprising crashworthiness, which pilots often favored.

Modified versions of the OH-6A were developed for U.S. Army special operations. The MH-6 is a transport and special reconnaissance variant, while the AH-6 is an attack version used by the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).

Refined in form, formidable in combat… the Fw 190 became one of the Luftwaffe’s most respected and feared fighters. A machine born from innovation — and a symbol of air superiority in Europe’s darkest days. When it entered combat with Jagdgeschwader 26, British pilots were stunned. The Fw 190 could out-climb, out-dive, and out-run the Spitfire — leaving only one advantage to the RAF’s finest: its tighter turning circle.

This segment shows how Luftwaffe 190 pilots utilized their aircraft to engage Spitfires with BnZ tactics.

The Fw 190 could out-climb, out-dive, and out-run the Spitfire — leaving only one advantage to the RAF’s finest: its tighter turning circle.

In the spring of 1942, a small, daring plan was hatched — not to blow up an airfield, not to assassinate a commander, but to take one of the Luftwaffe’s fiercest fighters and bring it home.

This wartime footage shows some awesome flying of Commonwealth Aircraft Cooperation Boomerang. The Boomerang was rapidly designed to meet the urgent demands for fighter aircraft to equip the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It was the first combat aircraft designed and constructed in Australia.

The Boomerang rarely engaged in aerial combat. During early wartime operations, the Boomerang was mainly dispatched to equip home-based squadrons, freeing up other fighters for use overseas. In later service, the Boomerang was commonly used for ground support duties, cooperating with Allied army units, in addition to secondary roles such as aerial reconnaissance and air sea rescue.
