To start us off, Peter Suciu unpacks the stories behind five of the most disrespected military guns. While these guns have been passed over for starring roles in Hollywood, this in-depth article sheds light on their overlooked histories and the significant roles such weapons have played.

Next, Richard Johnson details the Hellcat Pro lineage and helps you figure out where your needs may be best met.

In our final feature, Dr. Will Dabbs offers a unique perspective on a Cessna trainer turned effective attack plane. The AC-37 Dragonfly was a surprisingly versatile attack aircraft that supported U.S. troops in Vietnam.
