Chasseurs P-38 dans les rues de Nouméa – Guerre du Pacifique – Nouvelle-Calédonie – France Libre – Novembre 1942
Le 12 mars 1942, les troupes américaines débarquent en Nouvelle-Calédonie, territoire de la France libre suite à l'appel du 18 juin du Général de Gaulle. La Nouvelle-Calédonie devient alors une importante base aérienne lors de la bataille de la mer de Corail et la base de lancement du Corps expéditionnaire américain pour la bataille de Guadalcanal. Nouméa devient le Quartier-Général du Pacifique.

Unusual F-16s: Diverterless supersonic inlet ‘Bump Rider’ (1996)
Jet engines cannot handle supersonic airflow, which considering fighters go at twice the speed of sound is a problem. So the airflow is slowed down before it enters the engine. There are various ways to do this and they are heavy, require maintenance and tend to be highly visible to enemy radars. The diverterless supersonic inlet, however, is an elegant and clever solution.
It is simply a bump that slows down the airflow, while also blocking enemy radar’s view of the engine compressor face (a highly reflective surface). It was used on the F-35 Lightning with and achieved a 30% weight saving over the traditional solution.
