Because of these military aircraft, our country is way ahead of the ball game.  When we are being attacked by an enemy, we know their coming and where their coming from giving us a real big advantage against any enemy. Many of these military aircraft are commonly found on aircraft carriers.  The S-3 Viking shown above is an anti-submarine electronic warfare aircraft.  The S-3 Squadron on our ship, the USS Kitty Hawk, were called the Screwbirds and they had an emblem on the tail of a bird with a screw through its belly.  C.

Lockheed's twin-engined Hudson was a very successful light bomber as well as PV-1 Ventura WW2 Anti Submarine Airplanereconnaissance aircraft built for the RAF before World War II. The initial order of 200 Hudsons represented the largest order of any aircraft from the still-new Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, and launched that company into the mainstream aircraft business.

Building on the success of the Hudson, Lockheed developed a larger version of the aircraft that offered nearly twice the payload and was powered by nearly twice the horsepower. This new design was the Ventura, which was a militarized version of the Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar. This design was also quite successful in RAF service and as the US entered the war, a number of these production aircraft were diverted for USAAC service as the B-34 and to the US Navy as the PV-1.

A replica of a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura, which was used by the U.S. Navy as both a long-range patrol bomber and as a gunship to attack enemy ground targets and shipping in World War II, this 1/48 scale, plastic kit features engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit with glazed windows, P&W R-2800 "Double Wasp" radial engines with rotating propellers, wing-mounted fuel tanks, a dorsal gun turret and optional chin-mounted M2 Browning machine guns, an ASD-1 search radar, a choice of three markings (VB-133 at Iwo Jima, VP-135 in Alaska, and 149 Squadron, RCAF, in British Columbia), and more. 16¼" wingspan; 143 parts, skill level 3

U.S. Navy PBY Catalina Units of the Pacific War
Dorny. Though its service began several years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was in World War II combat that the PBY Catalina earned its stripes. Here, you'll see the versatile amphibious craft throughout the Pacific, serving as a submarine hunter - a role in which it was the scourge of the Japanese submarine fleet - and in air-sea rescue, saving thousands of Allied airmen from a watery grave. 96 pages, 100 B&W photographs and 32 color illustrations, 7"x 9", softcover.

U.S. Navy PBY Catalina Units of the Atlantic War BookU.S. Navy PBY Catalina Units of the Atlantic War

Softbound Book


Ragnarsson. From the Arctic to the equator, anti-submarine aircraft of the U.S. Navy patrolled both sides of the stormy Atlantic alongside their allied counterparts, escorting merchant shipping through submarine-infested waters. This book details the PBY Catalina and its participation in these patrols, showing you how it - the most successful flying boat ever designed - achieved its success. 96 pages, 94 B&W photographs and 28 color illustrations, 7"x 9", softcover.

From the Arctic to the equator, PBYs of the US Navy patrolled both sides of the stormy Atlantic alongside their Allied counterparts, escorting merchant shipping through submarine-infested waters, protecting this crucial lifeline from the United States to Great Britain. Arguably the PBY was the most successful flying-boat ever designed, serving with all four branches of the US military. It was the primary long-range patrol bomber in the US Navy's inventory when the United States entered World War 2, and despite being obsolete, it would serve in significant numbers until the war's end. Its contribution to victory was invaluable. Although the number of ships and lives saved by the mere presence of PBYs over convoys will never be known, in the process, US Navy PBYs sank 19 Axis submarines in the Atlantic Ocean - more than half the total accomplished by Allied PBY Catalina and Canso squadrons. Book jacket. Several books have been written about US naval air patrol operations in World War II (1939-1945), but none do full justice to the role played by patrol squadrons of the US Navy in the longest, most bitterly fought campaign of the war, the Battle of the Atlantic. From the Arctic to the Equator, anti-submarine aircraft of the US Navy patrolled both sides of the stormy Atlantic alongside their Allied counterparts. They escorted merchant convoys through the submarine-infested waters, protecting the crucial lifeline from the United States to Great Britain and the Mediterranean that carried troops and supplies for the ultimate liberation of North Africa and Europe. The PBY Catalina, in which most of these vital missions were flown, was the most successful flying boat ever designed. Built in greater numbers than any other, it served the maritime air forces of all principle Allied nations, as well as the four branches of the US military. Except for a handful of Martin PBM Mariners, the Catalina was the only long range patrol bomber in the US Navy's inventory when the USA entered World War II. Though considered obsolete in 1939, it served in significant numbers until war's end and for many years after. Its total contribution to victory can only be surmised and the number of ships and lives saved by the PBY's mere presence over convoys will never be known. However, US Navy PBYs sank 19 Axis submarines, all identified by the author from contemporary evidence. Photographs of the Catalina in service in the Atlantic are rare but the author has assembled over 80 through research in official archives and private collections.

"P-Boat: One, U-Boat: Nothing" Don Feight WW II Martin Mariner Print
Aviation Art Print

Don Feight.
The big, tough Martin flying boats were already in service prior to America's entry into WWII and were quickly adapted to the role of anti-submarine warfare against the Nazi U-boat wolfpacks in early 1942, but were used in a variety of other roles that included - search and rescue, transport, electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and patrol. Print depicts a Martin PBM Mariner over calm seas attacking a submerged U-boat with a low-level depth charge run. The aircraft carried its ordnance in a unique bomb bay located in the engine nacelles, and it had the capability of carrying torpedoes under the wings. Signed and numbered, limited edition of 500, 28"x 22" print.

Don Feight Feight Studios was established in 1994 by Paula & Don Feight inspired by the aerospace and aviation art Don was producing at his job at Lockheed Martin. Don has worked at Lockheed Martin for over thirty-three years as a graphic artist. Airplanes have been a lifelong passion from his early years living on Air Force bases, model building, and drawing airplanes, through the eventual building and flying of a homebuilt Glasair RG aircraft later as an adult. Much of the inspiration for Don's aviation art comes from his experiences during as a pilot. The low-level flight over the water in "Madman," the blue hole in the dark storm clouds in "Lightning," and the spinning ground in "Performance" are a few examples of experiences of actual flying used to produce aviation art images. Unlike many aviation artists, Don's passion is for the aircraft and flying above all else.


P5M Marlin Display Model AirplaneP5M Marlin Display Model
Pre Built Mahogany Display Model

The P5M Marlin, the last flying boat to serve in the U.S. Navy, was used initially for both anti-submarine and air-sea rescue missions, and was later adapted for cargo use. Made of Philippine mahogany, this P5M Marlin measures 16" in length, has a wingspan of 19", and arrives ready to display on the included base.

The P5M-2 Marlin was another revolutionary variant of the P5M Marlin built by Glenn L. Martin Company. This twin-engine flying boat was built with improved engines conventional tail and better hull form to serve the U.S Navy the U.S Coast Guard as well as the French Navy from 1951 to the late 1960s. The company's innovative move had given this Marlin aircraft with longer flotation base and better movement over the waves. As an updated model of the P5M-1 the P5M-2 was built with a T-tail and better bow for spray reduction during landing and take-off.

United States Navy Airships in World War IIUnited States Navy Airships in World War II
Softbound Book

Rosendahl. First published more than 45 years ago, this definitive study written by Vice Admiral Charles Rosendahl - the Navy's foremost airship advocate - is filled with fascinating details of Navy airship history. You'll read of a previously classified combat engagement between a blimp and a submarine (along with some two dozen other missions), enjoy the unprecedented 3-part image section with many previously unpublished photographs, and more! 220 pages, 8"x 11", softcover.

Originally published in 1990, Sky Ships is easily the most comprehensive history of U.S. Navy airships ever written. The Naval Institute Press is releasing this new edition-- complete with two hundred new photographs--to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the book's publication. Impressed by Germany's commercial and military Zeppelins, the United States initiated its own airship program in 1915. Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey was homeport for several of the largest machines ever to navigate the air. The success of the commercial rigid airship peaked in 1936 with transatlantic round trips between Central Europe and the Americas by Hindenburg and by Graf Zeppelin -- ending with the infamous fire in 1937. That setback, the onset of war, and the accelerated progress of heavier-than-air technology ended rigid airship development. The Navy continued to use blimps to protect Allied shipping during World War II. Following the war, the Navy persisted with efforts to integrate the airships, but the program was finally discontinued in the early 1960s.

Pre Built Mahogany Model

Made of Philippine mahogany, this 1/72 scale model measures 16" in length and has a wingspan of 17". Hand painted and detailed, model comes ready to display on the  included mahogany base. 

The P2V Neptune is the original name of the Lockheed P-2 Neptune. This was later changed after September 1962. This was designed by Lockheed with the intent to replace the Lockheed PV1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon. Before the P-3 Orion was introduced in the United States, the Neptune P2V was their primary land-based aircraft against submarine invasion. This was made possible with some of the P2-Vs having forward observation bubble complete with observer seat, sonobuoys (expendable sonar system), Magnetic Anomaly detector or a radar detector that was mounted on the belly of the aircraft. This was replaced by the P-3A Orion in Fleet squadrons in the early 1960s and eventually retired on February 1970.

Don Feight. The Lockheed Neptunes were land-based patrol aircraft specifically designed for anti-submarine warfare. Designed and built in the 1940s and '50s, they were among the last generation of piston-engine aircraft to fly for the U.S. Navy. One of the many unheralded aircraft that were "Cold War Warriors," Neptunes operated well into the 1970s until they were eventually replaced by newer P-3 Orions.

Hello,
My name is DJ Tressler and I am writing about your p-3 aircraft model.  Just wanted to inform you that the model on your site depicts that it is the exact replica of the p3 aircraft that was hit by the Chinese mig in 2001.  This is in fact not true.  The P-3 aircraft in the picture is a p-3C.  The aircraft that hit the prop of PR-32 in china was an EP-3E Aries II.  The difference is the large M&M shaped antennae on the bottom of the plane and various other antennae on the top, bottom and wings of the aircraft.  It is similar in many ways but has a completely different mission and features.  The P3C is a primarily a sub hunting aircraft, not recon.  Just thought that if you didn’t know that you might want to.
Sincerely
DJ Tressler  6-16-2009

Webmasters Note:  This is an identical model of the P3 Spy plane that had collided with the Chinese Flown MiG-25 near Hinan Island in April 2001.   It was a crime on the Chinese part because there is no way that this slow, clumsy aircraft could avoid being hit by the extremely fast, nimble MiG-25 Jet Fighter.

Note 2:  Look at the probe sticking out of the back of this airplane.  This is part of the aircraft's MAD gear which stands for Magnetic Anomaly Detector.  I detects minute variations in the earths magnetic field caused by a ferrous (Iron) object such as a submarine under the water.  This version of the aircraft is used as an Anti-Submarine aircraft.

More S-3B Viking Anti-Submarine Airplane Models Here

In 1974 the Lockheed S-3 Viking entered service with the USN as a twin-engine jet aircraft used for enemy submarine warfare. By the late 1990’s the role shifted to surface warfare providing the carrier battle group with long range surveillance capabilities and aerial refueling. The S-3 was in production from 1974 until 1978 with 186 (187) aircraft completed. Most airframes saw upgrades to the S-3B and sixteen became ES-3A “Shadow” electronic intelligence collection aircraft. The low pitch sound of the engines earned the S-3 the nickname “Hoover” after the vacuum cleaner. Lockheed aircraft 160131 was manufactured as an S-3A and later converted to an S-3B. It was assigned to VS-21”Fighting Redtails”. On July 4, 1950 it was the first carrier based squadron to leave the USA for the Korean War. In 1974 VS-21 was the first to receive the Lockheed S-3A Viking and in April 1991 the first Pacific Fleet squadron to get the S-3B. August 1991 saw VS-21 join CVW-5 at NAF Atsugi, Japan and deployed on USS Independence until 1995. 160131 was sent TO AMARC on May 26, 2004.
