What Post-1900 Topic do you specialise in?

In order of proficiency:

1. Personal firearms of all types, limited primarily to cartridge-based systems.
2. Technical aspects of modern (3rd and 4th Generation) warfighting at all (tactical, operational, and strategic) levels, with an emphasis on logistics and technology, especially naval and mechanized warfare.
3. Space travel and exploration, including nuclear-based systems.
4. Nuclear warfighting, including space operations.
 
Early 20th century era - Imperial Russia, Ottoman Empire, China, the Balkans, Scandinavia.
Anything related to Finnish history.
 
I mainly specialise in oddities, events, people, places and such that are a bit weird.
If you're looking for stuff on: nuclear ice cities, the strange life of Percy Fawcett, the pre-WW1 scareships, Albert Göring, The Grafton Affair, Johann Dippel, Operation Outward, the disappearing submarines of 1968, William Dampier, the Affair of the Poisons, Béla Kiss, King John’s Treasure, Sidney Reilly, the Battle for Castle Itter, Eric the robot, Rose Mackenberg, the Taman Shud case, the Kola Superdeep Borehole, Martin Couney, the history of Trasmoz, the catastrophe of 535CE (The Year of No Sunshine) and it's influence on human history, Harry St. John "Jack" Philby, maratime mysteries (the Zebrina, the whaling fleet lost in 1871, the Haunting of the Ivan Vassili, the disappearance of the Carroll A. Deering et cetera), the Mad Duke (William John Cavendish Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck, 5th Duke of Portland), Turkmenistan, the Bone Wars, Jacques de Vaucanson, the doomed village of Eyam, Joseph Williamson (the "Mad Mole of Edge Hill"), odd islands (Sarah Ann, Surtsey, Tiburón, Palmyra, Canvey and Gruinard), Harry Grindell "Death Ray" Matthews, the Bethnal Green tube station disaster, Mary Anning, Zone Rouge, John Dimond (the Marblehead Wizard), the Mayerling Affair, George Fabian 'Stoney Jack' Lawrence and of course Julie D'Aubigny, the female d'Artagnan, then I'm your man.

Outside that I have a good general knowledge of history with depth in a few areas, like the early days of nuclear weapons, the fall of Federalism in early nineteenth century America and British fascist movements before WW2.
Oh and chemical warfare.
 
By no means expert on anything but I am fascinated by British armoured vehicles, Precussion weapons and early cartridge weapons.

Currently working on a timeline of British armoured vehicle development from 1917 to 1939 still got a lot of research to do on engines and armour plate. Its going to be sensible no sudden injections of Millions of pounds, no discovery of large reserves of Handwaviumite the ore from which Unobtanium is refined or Centurion MkIIIs attacking Rommel at Arras in 1940 but anyone who likes British interwar Light tanks is going to be unhappy.

Knowledge? Ehh, that's open to question. I enjoy reading about and can sometimes contribute on WW2 (Norway, Denmark, Battle of France, early war aircraft). In the last few years I've become more interested in the interwar period - aviation, motor vehicles, and some categories of ships.
