An old engraving of a steam-powered fire engine. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This machine, ‘Washington One’, was used by the fire brigade in Brooklyn, New York, USA in the latter part of the 1800s. Steam pumper fire engines were used from the 1840s into the early part of the 20th century to pump water to the fire hoses put out fires. Large urban fire departments would invest in fire brigades, or engine companies, to tackle fires. The steam engine would be a horse driven. The vertical fast firing boilers, while heavy, were effective pieces of apparatus. Stock Photo

The Fairey Battle was a British single-engine light bomber developed during the mid-1930s for the Royal Air Force. Although powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin piston engine, with a three-man crew and bomb load, it was much heavier than the fighters, slower and vulnerable to enemy fighters and anti-aircraft fire. Early in the Second World War during the 'Phoney War' the Fairey Battle achieved the distinction of scoring the first aerial victory of an RAF aircraft in the conflict. In May 1940, the Battles suffered many losses, frequently in excess of 50 per cent of aircraft sorties per mission. Stock Photo
