Home›Military Aircraft›Service Status›RetiredBrowse ByRetiredThis dimension marks whether a weapon system is still in active service, retired or still in development. Wikipedia notes that something repurposed or enhanced for war "is termed weaponized," a status that, like active service itself, can change over the life of a weapon system. Browsing by service status separates weapon systems still in use from those retired.FactsRetiredSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1783 1RetiredFilter Results28 entriesWeapon Type or ClassAllAttack helicopter (1)Biplane fighter aircraft (1)Carrier-based fighter aircraft (3)carrier-capable fighter aircraft (1)dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft (1)Dive bomber and scout aircraft (1)Fighter aircraft (5)Fighter and fighter-bomber aircraft (2)ground-attack aircraft (1)Heavy bomber (2)Heavy bomber aircraft (1)Jet fighter aircraft (1)Medium bomber aircraft (1)Stealth strategic bomber aircraft (1)Strategic reconnaissance aircraft (1)Torpedo bomber aircraft (1)twin-engine, carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft (1)Twin-engine, variable-sweep-wing multirole combat aircraft (1)CaliberAll.50 caliber (2)30mm (1)45mm (1)Introduced EraAll1917 (2)1935 (1)1937 (2)1938 (2)1939 (2)1940 (3)1941 (4)1942 (4)1943 (1)1944 (1)1966 (1)1967 (1)1974 (1)1979 (1)1983 (1)1997 (1)OperatorAllImperial Japanese Army (2)Imperial Japanese Navy (1)Luftwaffe (5)Royal Air Force (5)Royal Navy (1)United States Air Force (4)United States Army (1)United States Marine Corps (2)United States Navy (3)Wars Used InAllBosnian War (1)Chinese Civil War (1)Eastern Front (World War II) (1)Gulf War (3)Iran-Iraq War (1)Iraq War (3)Korean War (5)Kosovo War (2)Russian Civil War (1)Sino-Indian War (1)Spanish Civil War (2)Vietnam War (2)World War I (1)World War II (16)ManufacturerAllAvro (1)Bell Textron (1)Consolidated Aircraft (1)Curtiss-Wright (1)de Havilland Aircraft Company (1)Douglas (1)Focke-Wulf (1)Fokker (1)Grumman (3)Heinkel (1)Junkers (2)Lockheed Corporation (1)McDonnell Douglas (1)Messerschmitt (2)Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (1)North American Aviation (1)Northrop (2)Northrop Grumman Corporation (1)Panavia Aircraft (1)Sopwith Aviation Company (1)Supermarine (1)Vought (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 28AH-1 CobraRetiredAvro LancasterRetiredB-17 Flying FortressRetiredB-2 SpiritRetiredConsolidated B-24 LiberatorRetiredde Havilland MosquitoRetiredF/A-18 HornetRetiredF-14 TomcatRetiredF4U CorsairRetiredFocke-Wulf Fw 190RetiredFokker Dr.IRetiredGrumman F6F HellcatRetiredHeinkel He 111RetiredIlyushin Il-2 SturmovikRetiredJunkers Ju 87 StukaRetiredJunkers Ju 88RetiredMesserschmitt Bf 109RetiredMesserschmitt Me 262RetiredMitsubishi A6M ZeroRetiredP-40 WarhawkRetiredP-51 MustangRetiredPanavia TornadoRetiredSBD DauntlessRetiredSopwith CamelRetiredSR-71 BlackbirdRetiredSupermarine SpitfireRetiredTBF AvengerRetiredYak-9RetiredSources1.
