Going to 3e sources is worse than useless here.
Suggesting that 4e has no information on WWII is fairly absurd.
EDIT: Although, admittedly, what we have on WWII in GURPS High Tech is...interestingly conflicted. For instance, the MG151/20 is identified as TL7. The fighter whose presence in the book is presumably why the MG151/20 was listed? TL6. Does a TL6 vehicle with TL7 components make sense? Did different authors work on those stats and lack a rigorous common reference frame for the TL boundary?

What? Nothing, obviously. I said that TL8 piston-engined propeller planes exist. Not that they existed in 1945.
