World War 2
WW2 was a brutal war a lot of blood and gore. A lot of people died alot of wifes lost their husbands. there was pilots , scouts, and snipers. My favorite is the sniper, the scouts had a job of going out in the battlefield and find targets for the snipers.
There were a lot of great fighter jets like the f16,and the warthog. The jets were really fast and awesome and they came equiped with awesome guns.The guns were a machine and heat seeking missile. Unlike bombers which were used too drop bombs on enemy bases.They were very agile and maneuvered almost any situation but sometimes they didn't make it and died its very sad.
