There where many types of machines, weapons and technologies used in this war. There were over 17 different types of bomber planes alone, just to list a few for Great Britain and the United States, Great Britain had the Avro Lancaster they made a total of 7,377 these planes. From the start it proved to be a well-designed aircraft and few changes were needed before moving into production. United States had the B-17 bomber, this plane could fly 200 MPH at over 10,000 feet with a heavy bomb load on it for over 10 hours. These are just a couple of the bomber planes

On August 6, 1945, during World War II (1939-45), an American B-29 bomber dropped the world’s first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion wiped out 90 percent of the city and immediately killed 80,000 people. This bombing was because was becoming too powerful and we had no other way to wipe them out. Three days later, a second B-29 dropped another A-bomb on Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 people. These attacks were mainly do to do japan attacking Pearl Harbor. destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded.

The first radar system was produced in 1935 by the British physicist Sir Robert Watson-Watt, and by 1939 England had established a chain of radar stations along its south and east coasts to detect aggressors in the air or on the sea. By September 1938 the first British radar system, the Chain Home, had gone into 24-hour operation, and it remained operational throughout the war. The Chain Home radars allowed Britain to successfully deploy its limited air defenses against the heavy German air attacks during the beginning of the
