From 10th July until 31st October, 1940, the German Luftwaffe mounted the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign the world had ever seen. It began with shipping convoys and naval dockyards, then quickly spread to RAF airfields, factories and later to London and many other major cities throughout the UK. Historians now cite Hitler’s failure to achieve air supremacy and thereby force Britain to surrender, as being a major turning point of World War 11.
No model aircraft enthusiast can afford to let this set pass you by! To commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain – the turning point of WWII – this year, we have selected three iconic RAF aircraft from the conflict. First is the legendary Spitfire, whose designer R J Mitchell did not live long enough to see the tremendous impact his aircraft would have; the Hurricane – the unsung hero, that is usually overshadowed by the Spitfire but played an unrivalled role in the skies of 1940; and finally, the Gloster Gladiator, the last of the bi-planes that served in the early years of WWII and played its part before being replaced by the advent of the monoplane. This three-piece set is displayed in special 70th Anniversary packaging, with splendid box art featuring the three aircraft in an atmospheric airborne mode. The inner lid gives information on the pilots and also the squadron markings.
