A wide range of really well-known aircraft types were used in World War II, by both sides. But for every Mustang, British Spitfire, Bf109, Zero, Flying Fortress, Corsair or Mitchell bomber, there were many other hard-working planes that received little to no attention.

Pictures by Ali Crimson In 2026 there aren’t many good reasons to buy an AK, particularly not one in a combloc caliber. Import restrictions on both parts kits and ammunition have steadily driven up costs. Long gone are the days of a decent AK costing half as much as a decent AR-15.
