Translation of the Hanns Trippel caption/passage.

Hanns Trippel (1908-2001) became known in Germany during the interwar years to produce amphibious cars. Just before the war, he began producing these for the German armed forces. At the outbreak of war in 1939, he had 250 men working in his factory in Homburg an der Saar. After France had surrendered, Trippel was installed at the old Bugatti factory in Molsheim. This factory was renamed Trippel-Werke GmbH on January 15, 1941, and during this war he built about 1,000 amphibious cars of the Triple SG6 type. This car had a 2.5 liter Opel Captain engine.

After that, Trippel went back to producing amphibious cars. He developed a small open car that he called "Amphiecar". This was a leisure car for the American and German markets. The car was produced in the 1960s, and a total of about 3500 of this car was made.

I never knew of the connection between these two amphibians before.

Proposed Cannon Would Turn the B-1 Bomber into a Gunship

Adding a cannon to the aircraft could also reduce the number of precision-guided bombs released, cutting the Air Force's expenses in the long run..............

The Air Force has already set in motion plans to retire its B-2 Spirit and Lancer bombers in the 2030s as it builds up its new B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber fleet. The Lancers will stick around until at least 2036, enough time to bring in new pilots, train them and have them fly for at least 15 years.

"We are designing the B-21 Raider to replace our aging bombers as a long-range, highly survivable aircraft capable of carrying mixed conventional and nuclear payloads, to strike any target worldwide," Air Force chief of staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said in the release.
