World War 2 Facts

Introduction

World War 2 required a massive outpouring of manufacturing capabilities, giving rise to one of the world's largest industrial producers in the United States of America. The war, and its global reach, challenged many nations to rise up and fight the Fascist incursion brought about by Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini in Europe and North Africa and the empirical reach of Japan in the Pacific. With its roots planted firmly in the first World War, it was not surprising to see the fusion of man and machine to the extent that was witnessed in the second World War. It was a war of defined heroes and villains, tyranny and democracy, meekness and strength. In the end, it would be a war of wars, setting the stage for the conflicts now witnessed throughout the 21st Century - most notable in the Middle East. In this website you will find a listing of aircraft, guns, vehicles, artilery, and other weapons used throughout World War 2 by the United States of America.
