Aircraft

Aircraft were still something new at the start of WW2, but it took little time for commanders to realize these machines were a requirement of modern warfare.

Ships

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, these floating cities performed duties ranging from, but not limited to, shore bombardment, aircraft launching, and transportation of men and supplies.

Weapons

Machines such as aircraft and ships might have held greater potentials of devastation, but the infantrymen were the basic building blocks without which a war cannot be won. These infantry weapons were the infantrymen's instruments of battle.
