## What is World War II Military Aircraft?

World War II Military Aircraft is a mini encyclopedia of the most important and influential aircraft that were used during the Second World War.

This pocket compendium app contains 240 aircraft and lets you explore:

- the evolution of aircraft design, from the post-WWI Po-2 and R-5 biplanes to the Meteor jet fighter,

- the advancements in combat aircraft (from the CR.32 to the Ta 152), heavy interceptors (like the Do 335 Pfeil and the P-38 Lightning) and night fighters (including the P-61 Black Widow and the Defiant),

- the development of the bomber, from the Blenheim light bomber and B-10 medium bomber to the Lincoln heavy bomber and the jet-powered Ar 234 Blitz,

- the creation of specialized ground-attack aircraft (Il-2 Sturmovik and Hs 129), dive bombers (Ju 87 Stuka, SBD Dauntless and D3A), torpedo bombers (from the Swordfish to the Albacore), reconnaissance aircraft (like the Fw 189 or Ki-46), liaison aircraft (Lysander and Bf 108 Taifun) and trainer aircraft (T-6 Texan or Tiger Moth),

- the rapid growth in size and capability of the flying boat (from the interwar MBR-2 to the famous PBY Catalina and ending with the gigantic BV 238),

- the birth of the military helicopter (in the form of the Fl 282 Kolibri and Fa 223) and

- the replacement of civilian service transport aircraft with purpose-built military troop and cargo airplanes (including the C-47 Skytrain, Ju 52, SM.82 Canguro or Me 323 Gigant) and gliders (like the DFS 230 or the Horsa).

Each aircraft entry contains at least one archive image, a short text that summarises the aircraft's development and service history and a detailed specifications table offering place of origin and production information, crew, weight and dimensions data, armament details, powerplant and performance figures.

### 5/5 — Plz

*2024-06-04*

Plz do one for WW1 plz I will really like that thanks

**Developer response:** Work is under way. Thank you!

### 5/5 — WORTH IT

*2024-03-02*

I’ve had this app for a few years and haven’t regretted it once many times i’ve been without wi-fi and having these apps have provided my much needed internet fix they are also great to end arguments about what plane flew first or what plane was had more made

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-09-07*

If you love aircraft you need this , especially at the bundle price  great apps well worth it  thanks

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — App no longer loads

*2023-04-04*

No longer loads. Sticks on loading screen. iOS 16.4 iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation). Have tried force quitting, force quitting and deleting, and redownloading to no avail. Have you made sure your development app is up to date? You keep saying your simulator runs this app. Either check your simulator or find an iPad model like mentioned above.  I’m done. No further posting will come from me. My rating stands.

**Developer response:** I updated the app with some modifications, but I'm not sure if they will solve your issue since I can't reproduce it in testing. The app functions correctly on an iPad Pro 3rd gen (11-inch) simulator running iOS 16.3.1 and 16.4. Testing on physical devices has become unpractical due to the sheer number of device types and generations, screen sizes and iOS versions. I apologise for the inconvenience.

### 1/5 — App no longer loads

*2023-02-22, version 1.3.1*

No longer loads. Sticks on loading screen. Ipad pro 3. Ios 16.3.1. I have deleted and reinstalled with no success. Fyi, I don’t have Facebook so i must reply here. A developer eMail contact would be nice. I do not know if the prior version worked. I have just returned to using the app.

You did not mention if a fix is in the works. I do not use social media sites. Still need an email address

### 1/5 — Stop begging for a review

*2023-01-14*

I’m trying to do something while you keep begging for a review

**Developer response:** The issue will be addressed in the next update. I apologise for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Fix

*2022-03-23*

The rate of climb on He 111 is too high 13.6 m/s? It should be lower around 4 m/s. 

Also I would like to see more Spitfire models added! especially the popular Spitfire Mk.IX

**Developer response:** I will correct the error in the next update and add the Spitfire Mk IX to the list of upcoming aircraft. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Totally worth it

*2020-04-07*

You get what you pay for. I play World of Warships & Planes and I’m super into history but found no perfect “hub” or one stop shop for identifying aircraft. With this I was able to annoy my girlfriend by. Pausing every time an aircraft was shown In “WWII In Color” on Netflix to identify it. 😂

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Well written, great resource

*2019-09-20*

I constantly use these apps for reference when reading stories from the war. Great stuff!

**Developer response:** Thank you!
