In September 1939, 81 years ago, the H.39 "Cambronne" appeared for the first time. The "Cambronne" belonged to the 14th Battle Tanks Battalion of the French Army. The Battalion with these tanks saw combat at the river Oise, to little effect, until they retreated back to Paris.

In September, 76 years ago, Fw 190 D-9 production began. The Fw 190 D series was created for high altitude bomber interception by fitting a new engine resulting in a long nose. Despite this, the D-9 was mostly used for ground attack and dogfights due to the war's circumstances.
