Nr.346, The German Mercedes L3000 ambulance version.

The Mercedes-Benz L3000 was a 4x2 3-tonne rear axle drive truck used by Nazi Germany in World War II, powered by a Daimler-Benz OM 65/4 74 hp 4-cylinder diesel engine.

It was used alongside the Opel Blitz, and proved even more reliable in rough terrain; and was used in all fronts and extensively by the Afrika Korps.

It was manufactured in three versions, the L3000, the L3000A, and the L3000S, from 1938 to 1944.

Curtiss CR3

Cool design! Also it’s Curtiss plane in Porco rosso (the studio ghibli movie) it really captures the spirit of the racing sea planes of the time.

13/20 because it’s funny

AW 650 Argosy

litterally the worst looking transport plane in history. I’m pretty sure pilots were ashamed to say they were flying that shit.

-9/20, atrocity

Boeing 247

Who the hell though inverted cockpit windows were a good idea on something which entirely depends on the aerodynamics of it’s fuselage and wings.

-Iconic looks

Consolidated PBY Catalina

Fucking iconic!! so many great design ideas!!  I have a very serious dream of repairing one to be air and seaworthy, then making it into a livable home, to travel around the world in (I am not interested in sedentary life). I can’t believe they designed it in the late 1930’s.

Lockeed DC 3

Probably the most recognizable plane in the whole history of planes. A legend. I would have loved to pilot one of these babies !

20/20

Antonov an 2

Absolut unit , the biggest single engine biplane in history, i cant believe they produced this airplane from 1947 to 2001, litteraly more than half a century . The internet always joke about how soviet hardware being sturdy and reliable but HALF A CENTURY? Talk about efficient design.

20/20

Lockheed super Constellation

Looks like what the future looked like in the early 50’s . Really classy, i love the curves .

Look at this monster, lifting a whole ass airplane. This helicopter is SO huge and powerful it’s insane.

Airspeed AS 57

The frame as a whole is not very interesting, but the triple tail is very sexy i think.
