The Tandem Call was a small fighter developed by over-eager birrin engineers as a way to relearn aviation knowledge lost in the Fall. A variety of unconventional control surfaces, including split ailerons and moving winglets, were all tossed into this single airframe to test several aerodynamic concepts. The team never expected that the Tandem Call would ever fire a shot in anger.
In its test bed role weapons, including a powerful cannon, were added. Onboard magazines and under-wing stores could carry a variety of experimental guided and unguided munitions for use on Kiln test ranges. The bubble canopy gave the pilot excellent visibility, but the Tandem Call lacked radar. This shortcoming was partly rectified when the Reclamation wars began with a detachable underwing sensor pod.
During development the team was also only given surplus small jet powerplants: a second turbine was added in ventral pod when the vehicle was found to be underpowered in combat tests, though this could be easily removed for non-combat reconnaissance missions to increase endurance. This pod necessitated the addition of longer landing gear housed in nacelles extending beyond the wing trailing edge.
Despite the idiosyncratic design, the Reclamation wars pulled the Tandem Call into service, its potent cannons felling slower enemy aircraft and strafing ground targets.
Despite its experimental nature, the vehicle was put into serial production to fulfil the need for air power in the explosively escalating conflict, giving rise to a legendary group of pilots who were able to use the idiosyncratic aircraft to great effect against what were increasingly sophisticated adversaries

The F-14 Tomcat
The F-14 Tomcat, an iconic American supersonic fighter jet, gained fame for its swing-wing design and role as a carrier-based interceptor. Developed by Grumman for the US Navy, it entered service in 1974 and was retired in 2006.
The F-14 Tomcat garnered notable performance records during its illustrious service. In 1974, an F-14A set a world speed record, reaching 1,606.342 miles per hour (2,585.086 kilometers per hour) over a 500-kilometer closed-circuit course. Its remarkable speed capabilities were underscored by its ability to exceed Mach 2.
In combat, the F-14 demonstrated exceptional effectiveness, participating in pivotal military operations such as the Gulf War and Operation Enduring Freedom. Its swing-wing design and Pratt & Whitney TF30 turbofan engines endowed it with agility and versatility, enabling precise maneuvering and long-range engagements.
Armed with radar-guided missiles and a powerful radar system, it was designed for air superiority and fleet defense. The Tomcat played a crucial role in various conflicts, including the Gulf War. Its advanced avionics and long-range capabilities made it a formidable adversary.
The F-14's advanced radar systems, including the Hughes AN/AWG-9 and later the AN/APG-71, facilitated multi-target tracking and engagement, particularly with the AIM-54 Phoenix missile system.
Beyond its performance in flight, the F-14 left an indelible mark on popular culture, immortalized in the film "Top Gun." Its enduring legacy as a symbol of American military power and aviation excellence continues to captivate enthusiasts and historians alike.
Though retired, its legacy endures as a symbol of naval aviation prowess and technological innovation.

Rumortracker, I just wanted to add my two cents to the many excellent comments already posted, including yours, about Harry in his civilian suit with his British medals, trying to coopt an American paramilitary event (Wounded Warriors) for his own personal and financial benefit. That image of him on his back porch in Montecito is the visual equivalent of fingernails scratching on a blackboard. My late father was a 30-year career Navy officer and pilot in Naval Aviation. His career began in 1942 with WWII and ended in 1972 after five years in Vietnam. His numerous military medals, including combat medals, along with his dress sword, now hang, encased, in a place of honor in my living room so that his many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren can continue to honor his memory and service. Neither he, nor any retired member of a US military branch, would (or indeed could) ever wear their medals on a civilian suit (exception being a rare Medal of Honor recipient)! The very idea, much less image, of a military vet doing so creates a kind of cognitive dissonance. US military personnel must cringe when they see Harry like that...the exact opposite of the impression he thinks he's making. (I'm not military, but I am a Vietnam-era military "brat" - an excruciating time - and a retired RN who treated many many military and military vets in my career, so I have a pretty good idea.)
So if Harry, a retired British military vet, is allowed to wear his medals on his civilian suit, well fine and dandy, let him return to the UK and do it there. But don't do it in the US, while addressing a US military-adjacent organization, because you merely look like a fool!

The Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP): Soaring Through Gender Barriers 🛩🐝
During World War II, while the world battled on various fronts, a quieter revolution took flight in the United States. The Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP, were a pioneering group of female aviators who defied traditional gender norms, proving that women could excel in roles historically reserved for men.
Origins of the WASP
With many American men serving overseas, the country faced a need to tap into underutilized domestic resources. The WASP program, initiated in 1943, merged two existing women's flying programs: the Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) and the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS). These women, under the guidance of aviators like Jacqueline Cochran and Nancy Love, would play a critical role in the war effort.
Duties and Contributions
The WASPs were trained pilots who contributed in non-combat roles. They ferried military aircraft across the country, tested planes, instructed male pilots, and even towed targets for live anti-aircraft artillery practice. They fulfilled the non-combat roles formerly occupied by male pilots, so more male pilots were available for combat roles. Women were not allowed to fly combat missions until [many years later, in 1993.. By the end of the war, WASPs had flown every type of military aircraft, logged over 60 million miles, and transported nearly 12,650 aircraft of 78 different types.
Challenges and Gender Biases
Despite their significant contributions, WASPs constantly faced skepticism and discrimination. They weren’t considered members of the military but were seen as civil service employees. They had to pay for their own uniforms, lodging, and sometimes even their way home after the end of their service. If a WASP pilot died during service, her burial costs fell on her family or fellow pilots.
Recognition and Legacy
In 1977, after years of advocacy by WASP veterans, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation granting WASP pilots veteran status. Later, in 2009, they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their service, sacrifice, and pioneering spirit. The legacy of the WASP program not only paved the way for women's integration into the U.S. Air Force but also demonstrated the capabilities of women in high-pressure, technical roles.

Horizon
Back with more DRA ponies folks (Woohoo!) It's been a bit...
It's Haru's turn! I made him a pegasus (naturally) though he does have a little griffin ancestry in there somewhere. This contributes to his coat/mane being a little feathery in places and him having wings more suited for gliding/long distance.
Horizon is an experienced flier, who has broken a few records for flight distance and duration. He once flew all the way across one side of Equestria to the other, and is somewhat known in aviation circles for these feats.
He loves being in the sky, and sometimes hovers above conversations purely because he likes his hooves being off the ground. This extends not only to his own wings, but also various aircraft, as Horizon is an excellent pilot. He has experience with hot-air ballooning, pegasi-drawn chariots, and even sky-diving and parachutes. His skill with even the highest altitudes makes him the perfect partner for less experienced fliers, or spotter for those attempting more risky endeavors.
Horizon has also spent a lot of time piloting airships, and often offers his services to Stardust Industries. He was very excited to be one of the first pilots for Gizmo's newest creations, and helped iron out many of the kinks and test the airships' endurance, stability, and safety.
He is part of another friend group, which I am working on doing next. They all live in the same town, but Horizon travels a lot for his work, and besides knowing Thrift and Gizmo, has met a few of the other cast members just because of that.
He and Thrift get along really well, and Thrift is basically an honorary member of Horizon's friend group too at this point. One of his other close friends gave him the nickname "Hori-zing" and sometimes Hori is used, but most ponies call him Horizon.

I’ve been fixating on COD for a while and was wanting to get more information about military things. Mostly such as wording and stuff! Do you know of anything where I can fully fledge out my hyper-fixation and satisfy the need to learn more about military?
Unfortunately, I haven’t found any end-all-be-all military resources that give you anything and everything you want to know. All of my research has been cobbled together from countless different sources, including official military websites (which are surprisingly forthcoming with certain information, if you’re willing to wade through the propaganda to find it), youtube (again, be wary of propaganda, but you can find countless former and active service members talking about their experiences), and various reddit forums.
I have two major lists of resources, one for more general military knowledge and one comprised entirely of declassified military documents, so I’d recommend those as a starting point. If you’ve got any specific questions, I’d always be willing to do a deep dive to find the answers! Additionally, google is your friend for super niche topics; somewhere out there, a military spouse has asked the exact same question on a random reddit page and has supplied the CoD fandom with invaluable information.
As for military wording, here’s an overview of some common military slang, more focused on the US military, but still a good beginning resource, as well as this wiki glossary of military slang terms. Here’s another glossary of military jargon, again more US-centric. If you’re looking for British-specific military jargon, here’s the wiki glossary for that!
Here’s the wiki page for Procedure Words, also called Prowords, which are the shorthand words used for communication over radio. The 141 would likely not use the aviation or marine prowords, but the rest seem incredibly likely to be in their daily vocabulary. Here is an entire PDF of abbreviations used in UK Ministry of Defense documents, which is an excellent resource to have while both writing and researching (because I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to look up an acronym mid-fic or elbow-deep in a declassified document).
This is also an open invitation for anyone to link any particularly helpful resources they’ve found! I hope this helps!
#call of duty#cod#thanks for the ask!#sadly general military knowledge is kept pretty broken up; there isn’t really a huge google doc anywhere with everything in it#you really have to dig to find the good stuff#cod writing reference#military writing reference#tombstone's epitaphs

Spitfire vs. Hurricane: An In-Depth Comparison of Two Aviation Titans
November 15, 2024
While the Spitfire had the edge in speed and agility, the Hurricane excelled in durability and ease of maintenance. This made the Hurricane the backbone of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the early stages of World War II, particularly during the Battle of Britain, where its ability to take punishment and keep flying was invaluable.
The Spitfire’s Role
With its superior agility, the Spitfire was well-suited to dogfighting with the nimble Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Its speed and maneuverability gave it the upper hand in many aerial duels.
The Spitfire quickly became a symbol of British resilience and fighting spirit, and its name was synonymous with the defense of the United Kingdom.
The Hurricane’s Contribution
While the Spitfire garnered much of the glory, the Hurricane played an equally important, if not more critical, role. Hurricanes accounted for the majority of RAF victories during the Battle of Britain.
Their primary role was to engage and destroy German bombers, which posed the greatest threat to Britain’s cities and infrastructure. The Hurricane’s ability to take on these heavily armed and armored targets was a key factor in the RAF’s success.
The Global Reach of the Spitfire and Hurricane
As the war progressed, both aircraft were deployed in various theaters worldwide. The Spitfire saw action in the skies over Europe, North Africa, and the Far East, while the Hurricane was used extensively to defend Malta, North Africa’s deserts, and Burma’s jungles. Each aircraft adapted to the unique challenges of these environments, further cementing their legendary status.
The Strategic Impact of the Spitfire and Hurricane
The Spitfire and Hurricane were not just aircraft but symbols of hope and defiance. Their success in the Battle of Britain prevented a German invasion and gave the Allies a much-needed boost in morale. The legacy of these aircraft extends beyond their technical achievements; they represent the determination and courage of the men and women who fought to protect their homeland.
Battle of Britain planes flying in formation
Legacy and Impact: Icons of the Sky
The Spitfire’s Enduring Legacy
The Spitfire’s speed, agility, and firepower have made it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and historians. Its design is often cited as one of the greatest achievements in aeronautical engineering. The Spitfire’s legacy is also preserved in countless museums, airshows, and memorials around the world, where it continues to inspire new generations.
The Hurricane’s Place in History
While sometimes overshadowed by the Spitfire, the Hurricane holds a unique place in history. It was the workhorse of the RAF during the early years of the war, and its contribution to the Allied victory cannot be overstated.
The Hurricane’s rugged reliability and adaptability made it a critical asset in multiple theaters of war. Today, the Hurricane is remembered for its pivotal role in the Battle of Britain and its service in many other campaigns.
The Spitfire vs. Hurricane Debate
The question of which aircraft was “better” often sparks lively debate among aviation enthusiasts. The Spitfire’s superior performance makes it an easy favorite, but the Hurricane’s durability and adaptability also give it a strong case. In truth, both aircraft were essential to the Allied war effort, and their complementary strengths made them an unbeatable team.
The Pilots Who Flew Them
It’s important to remember that behind every Spitfire and Hurricane was a pilot who risked everything to defend their country. These men, many of them young and inexperienced, took to the skies in machines that were often pushed to their limits. Their bravery and skill were as crucial to the outcome of the Battle of Britain as the aircraft they flew.
The Legacy of the Battle of Britain
The Battle of Britain remains one of the most significant events in British history. It was a turning point in World War II, and the Spitfire and Hurricane were at the heart of that victory. The legacy of this battle and the aircraft that fought it continues to be celebrated today, reminding us of the sacrifices made in the name of freedom.
The Spitfire and Hurricane in Popular Culture
Over the years, the Spitfire and Hurricane have become cultural icons in films, books, and even video games. Their sleek lines and powerful engines symbolize British engineering and wartime resilience. Whether portrayed in battle scenes or on display at museums, these aircraft continue to capture the imagination of people worldwide.
Conclusion: A Partnership in Victory
To definitively state which was “better” – the Spitfire or the Hurricane – would be an oversimplification. Each aircraft had unique strengths and played a vital role in the RAF’s strategy. The Spitfire’s agility and speed complemented the Hurricane’s durability and firepower, creating a partnership greater than the sum of its parts.
Together, the Spitfire and Hurricane changed the course of World War II. They defended Britain from invasion and became symbols of hope and resistance. Their legacy lives on in the annals of history, in the memories of those who flew them, and in the hearts of those who continue to honor their contribution to freedom.
In the end, the story of the Spitfire and Hurricane is not just about two iconic aircraft. It’s about the people who built them, the pilots who flew them, and the battles that shaped our world. Their legacy is a testament to the power of innovation, the courage of individuals, and the enduring spirit of those who fight for what is right.
For more insights into the Spitfire and other crucial military aircraft, visit Aces In Action. Here, you’ll find an amazing piece of artwork by Craig Tinder titled “Cannon Hit Spitfire” that illustrates the Flt. Lt. Eric Stanley Lock of No. 611 Squadron – the highest-scoring Allied pilot during the Battle of Britain. The limited edition canvas print even includes a piece of an authentic Supermarine Spitfire relic from a starboard cowl panel.
14 July 1941 – Flt. Lt. Eric Stanley Lock of No. 611 Squadron, engages an enemy Messerschmitt Bf 109 in his Spitfire Mk VB resulting in his 26th and final aerial victory. Flt. Lt. Lock was the highest-scoring Allied pilot during the Battle of Britain with 21 victories. During his final mission on 3 August 1941, he was last seen in Spitfire W3257 departing for a ground strafing attack. He never returned home.

2nd Lt. Janina Lewandowska — Polish World War II pilot and the only woman officer killed in the Katyn Massacre.
Janina Antonina Lewandowska was born on 22 April 1908 in Kharkiv. She was a Polish World War II pilot killed by the Soviets in the Katyn Massacre. Her father, Józef Dowbor-Muśnicki, was a Polish General. Janina Lewandowska was one of over 20,000 Polish prisoners of war murdered by Soviet troops in the Katyn Forest in an effort to eliminate Poland’s elites.
Early in life, Janina developed three major passions: flying, parachuting and singing. She was said to have been excellent at all three.
As a teenager, she joined the Poznań Flying Club and earned her glider and parachutist certificates. She learned to fly light aircraft by 1937. By age 20, she was the first woman in Europe to parachute from a height of over five kilometers. Shortly before the war began, she married instructor-pilot Mieczyslaw Lewandowski.
In August 1939, Lewandowska was drafted for service with the 3rd Military Aviation Regiment stationed near Poznań, Poland. On 22 September, her unit was taken prisoner by the Soviets. She was one of only two officers in the group; both were taken to the POW Camp for Polish Officers in Kozielsk, Russia.
2nd Lieutenant Lewandowska, née Dowbor-Muśnicka was most likely shot on 22 April 1940, on her 32nd birthday. She was the only servicewoman murdered in Katyn.
In April 1943,Janina Lewandowska's remains were uncovered by the Germans who discovered the mass graves of the Polish soldiers in the Katyn forest.
