Junkers Ju 88
The Junkers Ju 88 was a two-engined medium bomber plane used by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) throughout the Second World War (1939-45). Ju 88s were involved in the Battle of Britain and London Blitz as bombers, but this versatile aircraft saw action in many other theatres of the war, primarily as a dive bomber and a night fighter.
Design Development
After much debate between the German high command and the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), the Luftwaffe bomber command (Kampfwaffe) was obliged to adopt the position that bombers should primarily be used strategically to assist ground troops. This meant that unlike, say, the British Royal Air Force, the Luftwaffe concentrated not on heavy bombers but building squadrons of more versatile medium bombers.
In August 1935, aeronautical companies were invited to provide an answer to the German Air Force's requirement for a two-engined, medium-sized and high-speed bomber (Schnellbomber). Junkers came up with the Junkers 88, with various prototypes given a V designation plus a number 1 to 5. The first prototype, the Ju 88 V1, flew in December 1936 and impressed with its high speed. By March, the Ju 88 V5 was capable of speeds of over 300 mph (500 km/h) and so broke several records.
The decision in 1937 to give the Ju 88 a dive-bombing capability meant that the design process now became fraught with delays and constant revisions. As the historian J. Holland notes, "some 25,000 changes were made to the original design" (216). Most significant of these changes, perhaps, was the strengthening of the wings to take the force which resulted from steep dives, the addition of brakes to arrest the plane at the nadir of the dive, and the lengthening of the fuselage to admit extra crew members. The consequence of all this was that the plane ended up being much heavier and slower than the original plan, a situation that led Field Marshall Erhard Milch (1892-1972), one of the founders of the Luftwaffe, to disparagingly describe the Ju 88 as a "flying barn door" (ibid). The problems of weight and speed were partially alleviated by adding rocket boosters for takeoff when carrying heavier bomb loads. The design changes kept on coming, too, notably an increase in the wingspan. As a result of the complex design, the Ju 88 took more time to build than many other aircraft types.
Introduced into Luftwaffe service in September 1939, just as WWII started, the Ju 88s' challengers as the medium bomber of choice within the Luftwaffe were the antiquated and poorly armed Dornier Do 17, the equally vulnerable but faster Dornier Do 215, and the tried and tested Heinkel He 111, which was overall the best of the three at the beginning of the war. The Junkers Ju 88 was smaller than the other three medium bombers but faster than the He 111 and the Do 17, and yet it was capable of carrying as heavy a bomb load as the He 111. As a consequence, gradually the Ju 88 took over from the He 111 as the bomber of choice but both saw service right through the war. All of these planes had two engines, which fundamentally restricted their bomb loads and range compared to Allied heavy bombers like the B-17 Flying Fortress and Avro Lancaster bomber.
The upside of its checkered design history was that the 1940 version of the Ju 88 was more versatile than originally planned, making it perhaps the most versatile of any aircraft of any air force in WWII. The Ju 88 could perform as a bomber, dive-bomber, and night fighter. Other duties performed by the Ju 88 included long-range reconnaissance (when they were fitted with extra fuel tanks, radar, and cameras), attacking shipping, and minelaying at sea. Finally, one distinct advantage of the Ju 88 was that its frame was built in such a way that it could withstand tremendous punishment from enemy fire. Factories dedicated to Ju 88 production included those at Brünn (now Brno in the Czech Republic) and Graz and Vienna in Austria. Air forces which operated Ju 88s besides the Luftwaffe included the Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, and Romanian.

Junkers Ju 88
Le Junkers Ju 88 était un bombardier bimoteur de taille moyenne utilisé par l'armée de l'air allemande (Luftwaffe) tout au long de la Seconde Guerre mondiale (1939-45). Les Ju 88 participèrent à la bataille d'Angleterre et au Blitz de Londres en tant que bombardiers, mais cet avion polyvalent fut utilisé sur de nombreux autres théâtres de guerre, principalement comme bombardier en piqué et comme chasseur de nuit.

Their words and touch hurt like hell pt. 3
Wandanat x Avenger! Reader
Warnings: Dark themes, killing, torture, fighting, a lot of fluff, tying up, magic use.
Summary: Natasha and Wanda maybe quite a rough couple but at the end of the day, their just big babies, only wanting you in every way possible. Even if it means having to get rid of a fellow teammate.
Tumblr media
Ascending into the air your palms started to sweat profusely, pawing at them with your nails. As time pasted Wanda notice this and started rubbing soothing circles on your back.
"You'll be okay, i'm here" she whispered, kissing your forehead. Humming at her comfort, you pushed your side further into her front.
-------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later, Maria announced "We're landing now, start preparing" while putting the jet into auto pilot, unstraping herself from the seat.
You sprung up from Wanda's lap and grabbed your weapons, placing your knife and gun into there leather holders, which where strapped to your thighs. All three of you felt the affects of the landing, a subtle grumble throughout the aircarft. Once the door opened you were met with eerie silence only the wind could be hear howling. There was no sign of life. The runt down warehouse in front of you filled up the empty field.
All the windows were boarded up, roof clearly falling apart, and outside wires were sparking. Pulling out your gun, you all stalked closer to the creepy building, weary of anything that might pop out. Upon opening the back door noise could finally be heard, sadly it wasn't anything good. It was that poor girls screams, the same ones which taunted you. Goosebumps filling every inch of your now pale skin. Hearing a man grunt you instinctively cover you face, blocking a punch. A Hydra agent was trying to attack you.
After knocking out the guy, a swarm of agents came at your trio. All that self Torture of training really came handy. They were like nothing for you especially with the two other women by yourside. It was like taking candy from a baby.
Walking further into the halls of the hell hole, a huge console could be seen, different lights flashing, lots of buttons and levers covered it. An agent sat there watching over everything, typing away at a computer. Two pipes connected this console to some type of metal contraption. There in it stood that girl, her Greasy hair splayed over her scrunched up face. She looked so young, mabye a few years younger the you? How did she end up here?
Maria ran up to the guy attacking him, pulling off the chair. Fiddling with the buttons trying to stop the electric pain being unleashed on the frail girl. Hitting a particular button stopped the operation. Moving towards the containment you opened the door, a loud speak from the iron filled the room making the girl flinch. Slowly inching out your hand you begun to speak.
"Hi, Do you remember me?" Your hand out. She softly nodded, tears rolling down her red cheeks, "I'm here to help, we're not going to hurt you" you assured. She slowly extended her hand, it was all bruised, cuts sprinkled everywhere. Encasing her hand in yours, you led her towards Wanda which was by the back door monitoring the field. "Wanda can you please take her back to jet?" you asked.
"Sure, come here sweetheart" The girl followed Wanda out the building and into the aircraft. Going back to Maria you both finished off the inspection, taking some Hydra files that fury asked you to secure.
Once Maria was done checking the halls and you had finished looking around the computer, you both made you way back the the quinjet. Walking in you saw Wanda talking and comforting the girl. Taking a sit opposite the pair, your heart swelled at the site of Wanda and her kindness in action. Maria started up the jet informing everyone that we would arrived in around one hour, wanda joined you and started filling you in with the new found information.
"Her names ivy, well she thinks, she can't remember well, Hydra always called her by a number, 5309, she been at Hydra her whole life, taken as a baby from her parents, also from what she heard they were inhumans too, soon killed by Hydra" Wanda phrased.
"Mhm, thank you wands" you chimed. Sitting next to the small girl you asked her a question. "Hi again, Do you know where we're going?"
"No" her voice timid.
"We're going to safety, the Avengers compound to be exact, we're going to get you a comfy room and lots of food. Don't worry no ones going to hurt you now, your safe" you conculed.
"Thank you" A small smile falter onto her lips.
"No problem" you smiled back.
-------------------------------------------------------
When you left, Natasha and Wanda's plan begun. She carefully crept across the halls into Carol bedroom. There she saw Carol form passed out, still in the air due to Wanda's magic. She stood there waiting for the magic to lift, 10 minutes Wanda's told her. Just enough time to get you out of here. Around 2 minutes later, with a thud carols body came down. 'Finally' Natasha thought to herself, dragging her body to the door and out into the hallway checking for anyone, continuing when deemed all clear.
Harshly dropping the sleeping woman, Natasha pulled out the desk chair, tying her up. Finishing off the the last knot making sure it was extra tight for that little more pain.
Around 10 minutes later Carol woke up, her body ached from the previous pain that had been induced on her. There before her was Natasha, a murderous glint in her eyes.
"Natasha... What the fuck!?!" Carol had realized that she was tied down. The redhead sadistically smiled at the blondes pitiful reaction. Carol eyes widened in fear when she noticed that Natasha was holding a knife. "What the hell, why do you have that? Why I'm I tied down? W-what are you doing to do?! w-" By now the ex spy was getting sick and tried of Carol rambling on, looking through the desk drawers she found exactly what she was looking for, a gag.
Securing it tightly to the wriggling women, she chuckled at how pathetic she looked, tears welling up in the conner of her eyes. Now that she was silenced, Natasha could commence her tiny session of torture.
-------------------------------------------------------
Muffled screams and crieds filled the room, as the redhead left cuts all over carols skin. They may small but it hurt, bad. Rudely interrupted by F. R. I. D. A. Y declaring that you and Wanda have arrived back. With a harsh slap to the face, the promise ring you gave to Natasha spilting Carol's skin even more, She rolled the injured woman into the closest. Cleaning up the blood that had fallen on the floor, Nat collapsed onto the bed, waiting for her two sweethearts.
You felt fulfilled again, overjoyed that you had finished the most tedious, taxing mission of your life. It felt like a saddening door in your life had at last been fasten. After meeting fury, giving him the important files also handing over the girl to him for introduction.
Now tried you sluggishly dragged your feet through the endless halls untill, by a miracle you reached your room. Seeing Nat really boosted your mood.
"Hi natty!" You cheered.
"Hey love" her warm smile developing her face.
Setting down the files that Fury told you to overview on to the oak desk, you walked over to the closet. Inching your hand closer and closer to the door knob, taken aback by the two women.
"Y/N!" They both barked out in sync.
"What!?!"
"How about you and Wanda go take a shower and I'll deal with everything else?" The two women exchanging knowing glances, starting to get nervous. They know how usually you dismiss offers like this not wanting to hassle them.
"Are you sure?" she hummed, confirming.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it"
"Anything for you detka" heart swelling at the nickname you grabbed Wanda's hand, taking her to the bathroom. Seeing that the door was shut, she opened the door of the prohibited closet.
Light filling the pitch black room, the Russians silhouette mocking a demon's. Fear seeping into carols Bone's, skin crawled. Her muscles tighting, screaming of a horror unseen. feeling fear in the hair on the back of her neck, invisible fingers ran along her spine. Carol knew all about Natasha's erratic and unpredictable emotions, heart plunging into the depths, being at the complex receiving end of them.
Panicked when she strolled closer, flicking on the lights. Carol saw that sick, twisted look in her eyes. That narcissistic glint. She was hungry for her pain, ready to pounce on her like a tiger, feeding of the screams and sight of her agony.
She did try, really but the binds where too strong and somehow she couldn't use her powers (Thanks to Wanda's spell). Wriggling and screaming in her seat, watching the woman get closer and closer, she was defendless.
Everything stopped as Natasha passed her completely Ignoring her, humming a creepy song to herself. What? She was so confused. Skimming through all the clothes she grabbed Wanda and you and her t- shirts.
Before leaving the redhead turned around, taunting the women.
"she wearing my clothes, not yours," she mocked, chuckling. Restraining more caused the ropes to cut further into her irritated skin, and soon she was plunged into darkness once again, sorrow filling her body.
-------------------------------------------------------
When stepping out the now steamed filled bathroom and into the bedroom you saw natasha, bed filled with all types of snacks. "Awhh, Natty, you didn't have to" throwing your body into hers. Letting out a breathy laugh, she swallowed you up with her muscular arms, kissing your foreheads. Wanda cuddled up with you on Natasha's chest. You both looked cute and dainty in her clothes, making her heart swell.
"You both deserves it, you both did so well" Both of you savoured Natasha's praise.
"I love you guys" you said. You all cuddle together for a moment, before Natasha sighs contentedly. This is truly wonderful, you love this. They both smile down at you. Your safe, and happy, and have each other. You have everything you could ask for, Everything that matters.
Wanda knew exactly what to do. With a flick of the hand the closet door opened up just enough for Carol to hear your conversation.
"Say that again." Wanda demanded, a dark tone slowly making an appearance.
"I love you guys so much" you happily compiled, completely oblivious.
"We love you even more dekta" Natasha added. Carol could hear everything, suddenly feeling a tight sensation on her neck. Red mist wrapping around her thoart. The grip was lethal, squeezing the life out of her. She gulped and gasped for breath. Her heart, once quickly beating, is now slowing in tempo. She was screaming silently, gasping for breath only to come out as small ragged sounds escaping her throat. She cried out, but it was too late.
"Your ours forever no matter what" Wanda said bittersweetly.
That was the last words Carol heard. Without a word, body slowly going limp, final breaths, eyes glazing over.
She died knowing that you were there's and your two girlfriends loved that. To them their psychotic behavior can be justified because it was all for you.
Sweet, caring, charming, beautiful, innocent Y/N.
With two big kisses you turned on the TV, choosing a movie from your watch list, all diving into the snacks.
-------------------------------------------------------
Both red heads giggled when they realised you had fallen asleep, turning off the tv and joining you in a peaceful slubmer. They would deal with getting rid of Carol body and all relations with that tomorrow.
you are always theirs no matter what.
Everyone and everything will always lead back to them.
-------------------------------------------------------
Hii I hope your enjoyed! This the end of the series but I will make an alternative ending with Maria.
Thank you for reading <3

Your Saab ourangutan meme reminded me of an exchange between a member of the British parliament and the head of the state-run British Overseas Airwars Corporation in the 50s. The MP was angry that BOAC was considering ordering the Boeing 707 over the Vickers VC10, arguing that BOAC as a state-owned enterprise should be supporting the native aircarft industry. The BOAC chairman said that it wasn't his job to bail out a struggling business out of a sense of patriotic duty, his job was to buy the best aircraft for the best price and supporting the previous home-grown jet airliner project had been a disaster (specifically referring to the de Havilland Comet). He ended up resigning after essentially being forced to buy the Vickers planes and making the company go into serious debt trying to bankroll the VC10 after it turned out that the design wasn't as sound as Vickers had led on and required extending the development cycle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The VC-10 wasn't really a bad plane, it was just an overengineered behemoth that was meant to serve routes for an empire that didn't exist anymore, hence a focus on rough runway and poorly equipped airport operations, which made the plane heavier and more expensive to operate (and with less passengers and range) than the more streamlined 707, which always took into account flying from and into optimal airports, as Boeing engineers knew the world was modernizing for the jet age.

HC extends interim protection from arrest to Kirit Somaiya, son of BJP leader
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday stretched out till July 7 the break security from capture conceded to BJP pioneer Kirit Somaiya and his child for a situation of supposed misappropriation of public assets gathered for the reclamation of decommissioned maritime plane carrying warship Vikrant.
On April 13, Justice Anuja Prabhudessai had allowed break insurance from capture to Kirit Somaiya, and on April 20, it had conceded similar alleviation to his child Neil Somaiya.
The court had then said in case of their capture, both the blamed people be delivered on guarantee for Rs 50,000 each. The alleviation was consequently stretched out by Justice Prabhudessai till June 14.
On Tuesday, one more single seat of the HC, directed by Justice Bharati Dangre, stretched out the in-between time assurance allowed to the previous BJP MP and his child till July 7.
Equity Dangre likewise guided the Maharashtra government to document an oath, answering to the supplications recorded by Kirit Somaiya and his child guaranteeing that the charges against them were bogus, and looking for pre-capture bail for the situation.
In April this year, while giving break security to Somaiyas for the situation, the HC had said the grievance enlisted for the situation by an ex-Army staff appeared to be ambiguous and dependent exclusively upon media reports.
It had, nonetheless, guided the team to answer to police for addressing on fixed dates.
On Tuesday, the state's guidance, Shirish Gupte, looked for time to document an affirmation because of the BJP pioneer and his child's supplications.
Somaiyas' advice Ashok Mundargi said the team will co-work in the test against them.
Equity Dangre kept Mundargi's articulation in her request and said the break help allowed to both the candidates will be stretched out till July 7, the following date of hearing for the situation.
According to the grievance, Kirit Somaiya and some others had gathered over Rs 57 crore for the reclamation of the decommissioned maritime aircarft transporter Vikrant. Be that as it may, rather than saving the sum to the Maharashtra lead representative's secretary office, the BJP pioneer supposedly misused the assets.
