The Mörkö-Morane was a Finnish-engineered upgrade of the French Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 fighter during WWII. Faced with rising losses in 1942, Finnish commanders decided to re-engine their obsolete Moranes with captured Soviet Klimov M-105P V-12 engines (1,100 hp) and aerodynamic refinements.https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/finnish-morko-morane-fighter-aircraft/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #FinnishAirForce #MoraneSaulnierMS406 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

First flying on 28 December 1933, the Loire 70 was a long-range maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed for the French Navy. Seven production aircraft were ordered and along with the prototype served with Escadrille E7 at Karouba in Tunisia. An Italian air raid destroyed 3 of the 4 surviving aircraft. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/loire-70-french-flying-boat/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #FlyingBoat #FrenchAirForce #Loire70 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

Today in Labor History March 4, 1943: The Battle of Fardykambos began. It was one of the first major battles between the Greek Resistance and the occupying Royal Italian Army, begins. The battle lasted 3 days. The Greeks forced the surrender of an entire Italian battalion and liberated the town of Grevena. The Greek Resistance was one of the strongest anti-fascist resistance movements in Europe during the war. The Communist National Liberation Front, the largest contingent in the Greek Resistance, fought the Italians during the Battle of Fardykambos. As the fighting progressed, local civilians joined in, as did many of the right-wing members of the Greek Resistance. As a result of their victory, they obtained many weapons and took 550 Italians as prisoners of war.
