China’s latest and most capable aircraft carrier has officially entered service, a significant step forward for Beijing as it seeks to catch up with the United States on naval supremacy.

A New York Times analysis of satellite imagery and air traffic control communications found that U.S. military planes began operating out of the Central American country in mid-October.

France is pressing ahead with a new generation aircraft carrier, a nuclear‑powered “super‑carrier” slated to replace the Charles de Gaulle, which is planned to retire by the late 2030s, observers say. Newsweek has reached out to the French Defense Ministry and Naval Group shipbuilder for comment.

Germany produced three outstanding modern airliners in the interwar period: the Junkers Ju 52, Junkers Ju 86 and Focke-Wulf Fw 200. The Ju 52 was boxy, corrugated and lacked elegance. The Ju 86 (at least in airliner, and not militarily variants) was rather lovely, but most sublime aesthetically, was likely the Fw 200.
