Romeo Ro 43 'Spanish Service' In September 1943 it became clear that Italy was defeated. A group of Italian navy aviators knew it, too, and so they decided to fly eight IMAM / Romeo Ro.43 floatplanes from La Spezia to La Maddalena. They took off the moment the German troops started to take over the local armoury. Two of them were shot down, remaining six managed to reach the Spanish Balearic Islands. The Ro.43s were interned t...

The Boomerang was the only indigenous-built Australian fighter aeroplane to saw service during the Second World War. Boomerangs defended Australia and were also deployed to New Guinea and other Pacific islands. The last fighter-recce version, designated CA-19, carried a photo camera behind the cockpit and mainly flew recon missions or marked potential targets for larger fighter bomber...
CAC CA-9 Wirraway 'In training and combat' The Wirraway was an Australian adaptation of the US-built Texan aircraft and it served as for pilot training, reconnaissance and ground attack missions. In combat areas, the Wirraways were also used to identify and mark enemy targets. The Wirraway was produced in a couple of series, differing in some details and internal equipment.

Douglas B-18 Bolo According to 1934 specifications issued by USAAC High command B-18 Bolo was designed. The DB-1 (factory designation) design was derived from the design of the famous civil Dc-2 aircraft. Unlike Dc-2, the DB-1 was mid-wing design with bomb bay located in the fuselage under the
wing's cross section and defensive armament consisting of three 7.65 mm machine guns located in manually operated nose and dorsal turr...
SNCASO SO.4050 Vautour IIA IDF/Israeli Attack Bomber. The twin-engine Vautour jet was one of the successes of the French post-war industry. It was produced for the French Air Force as an all-weather fighter and in a bomber version. Israel purchased all-weather fighters and also a single-seat fighter-bomber version, which the French Air Force did not use. The fighter-bomber Vautours were particularly involved in the Six-Day War...
RE-RELEASED!!! Blackburn Skua Mk.II In 1934, the Air Ministry issued specifications O.27/34. They contained requirements for a multi-role aircraft for shipboard service. The aircraft was to be operated as a fighter as well as a dive bomber. A fighter for aircraft carriers in the British concept of the time was a two-seater aircraft designed for long operational flights and combat with enemy reconnaissance aircraft. Combat agai...
RE-RELEASED!!! Blackburn Roc Mk.I To fulfill Specification O.35/35, calling for a two seat carrier borne fighter, the Air Ministry ordered this type of aircraft from Blackburn Aircraft Ltd. in 1935. Similar to the land based Defiant fighter, the new fighter's armament was to be concentrated within a manned turret. The Blackburn's chief designer G.E.Petty delivered the so-called B.25 design that was closely linked to the previo...

Fairey Battle Mk.I 'Bloodbath over France'
The Fairey Battle was ordered by the British Air Ministry to replace the Hawker Hart biplanes. It was one of the first modern low-wing aircraft to enter service with the RAF that began receiving the Battle in 1937. The Battle was elegant and pleasant to fly, but it was underpowered. One Merlin engine alone was simply lacking power for such a large aircraft. This was clear even befo...
Bell X-1A / X-1D 'Second Generation' After the success of the original X-1 aircraft and the breaking of the Sound Barrier, both USAF and NACA decided to continue with the research into supersonic flight. Therefore, they ordered the so-called 'Second Generation' X-1 from the Bell aircraft company. These were three bigger aircraft, versions A, B, and D. They were used for high speed research (up to Mach 2.5) and high altitude fl...

The new plane was equipped with a bigger span wing and a retractable undercarriage. However, due to Luftwaffe's command shortsighted decision not to continue with the development of weapons that could not assist in immediate victory in the war, the aircraft's development was put to halt and the plane was han...
Westland Whirlwind Mk.I 'Fighter Bomber' Not long before the outbreak of WW2, the British Air Ministry issued a requirement calling for two types of fighter aircraft, one light weight with machine gun armament and the other one with heavy cannon armament. To these requirements, the machine gun armed Hurricanes and Spitfires were designed, while to fit the second category, the Westland offered their Whirlwind twin engined 'Cann...
North-American F-82H Twin Mustang "Alaskan All Weather Fight 1/72
The twin-engine F-82 fighter aircraft became famous for its participation in the Korean War. But Twin Mustangs also served in the USA. Especially in Alaska, they formed the backbone of the fighter defense of the USA until the arrival of superior all-weather fighter jets. The threat of Soviet bombers with nuclear weapons on board was very topical at that time. F...
Douglas D-558-I Skystreak 'NACA'. U.S. Navy together with the civil organization NACA were the issuers of D-558-I test aircraft.

SH72163 and SH72180). NACA used their Skystreaks for various tests from high ...
Messerschmitt Me-209V-4 In the 1930s, in the time of the rearmament, Germany tried to showcase their military power also by breaking aviation records. This effort, backed by the state, brought many new records including the most prestigious one, the world speed record. Of interest might be the fact that two German aviation companies rivaled to achieve the record, namely Heinkel and Messerschmitt, each of which had their oppone...
