On 27th March 1945, 617 Sqn bombed the U-Boat Pens at Farge, Germany.  These pens were one of the largest concrete structures on earth at the time and of the 20 Lancasters used on the raid, 14 were equipped with the huge 22,000lb Grand Slam Bombs – the highest number ever used on a single mission. Two Grand Slams found their target and detonated rendering the pens unusable.  No aircraft were lost. The raid was led by Group Captain Johnny Fauquier, a Canadian who assumed command of 617 Sqn in December 1944.  He flew PD119, YZ-J, which was possibly the most distinctive of 617 Sqn, B.1 (Special) Lancasters.  Whilst the aircraft wore a daylight camouflage its port rear rudder was damaged, probably by flak on the 21st March and with no replacements readily available one was ‘borrowed’ from another plane which wore a black night camouflage scheme, it remained this way until the end of the war.

Fighter Squadron 126 (VF-126), the Pacific Fleet Adversary Squadron, was known as the "Bandits". Adversary operations involve friendly aircraft mimicking the tactics and characteristics of enemy forces to enhance the relevance of combat training. VF-126 started providing the adversary mission in April 1967 from Miramar. The Skyhawk was chosen as the bandit aircraft because of its maneuverability and smokeless trail, just like a MIG. A-4M Bu No. 158413, was the last of several ex-USMC Skyhawks assigned to the US Navy adversary unit VF-126 "Bandits" and co-located Naval Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun), at NAS Miramar. These aircraft served with VF-126 alongside a motley collection of A-4E/Fs and TA-4F/Js until the "Bandits" were dis-established on 1 April 1994. Bu No. 158413 was then placed in storage within the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. Later that same year it was one of 36 surplus A-4Ms sold to the Fuerza Aerea Argentina (Argentine Air Force).

The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft is derived from the De Havilland Comet, the world’s first jet airliner (also available as a Corgi model). It is unique in being the only dedicated land-based, jet-powered maritime patrol aircraft in service today. (Other jet-powered maritime patrol aircraft are primarily deployed from aircraft carriers, or simply civil types with added electronics.)The Nimrod serves the RAF in two variants: the R1 variant in a reconnaissance and electronic intelligence gathering capacity (officially, these were once coyly described as “radar calibration aircraft”), and the MR2 variant in the maritime reconnaissance role. The R1 is recognizable by the fact it doesn’t have a MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detector) boom like the MR2. Nimrod development began in 1964 as a project to replace the elderly Avro Shackleton. Like many other successful maritime patrol aircraft, it was based on a civil airliner which had reached the end of its market life – in this case, the Comet 4. The first two RAF aircraft were unfinished Comet 4 airliners. The Comet’s turbojet engines were replaced with Rolls Royce Spey turbofans for better fuel efficiency, particularly at the low altitudes required for maritime patrol), and major changes made to the fuselage, including an internal weapons bay, an extended nose for radar, and a new tail with ESM sensors mounted in a bulky fairing , and a MAD boom. After a first flight in May 1967 the RAF ordered 46 Nimrod MR.1s, and the first example entered service in October 1969. Five squadrons were eventually equipped with the MR1. Three Nimrod aircraft were adapted to the SIGINT (signals intelligence) role, replacing the Comet C2s and Canberra’s of N0.51 Squadron in May 1974. Only since the end of the Cold War has the role of the aircraft been officially acknowledged. The R1s have not suffered the same rate of fatigue and corrosion of the MR2s and will continue in service long after the MR2 is replaced by the MRA4. Starting in 1975, 32 aircraft were upgraded to MR2 standard, involving modernization of the electronic suite and (as the MR2P) provision for in-flight refueling and additional ESM pods in the wingtips. The in-flight refueling capability was introduced during the Falklands War, as well as hard points to allow the Nimrod to carry the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile. Eventually all MR2s gained refueling probes and the “p” designation was dropped. In the mid-1970, the Nimrod’s duties were expanded to include AEW (Airborne Early warning), as a replacement for the Lancaster-derived, piston-engined Shakleton which, astonishingly, was still in service in that role. Following modification of trial aircraft, the radar fit proved unsatisfactory and this variant was abandoned in favor of the American Boeing E-3 Sentry (also available as a Corgi model). The latest Nimrod variant is the upgraded MRA.4 which is about to enter service as a replacement for the current MR.2s in service. XV240 is one of the original Nimrod MR.1 production, being built at Woodford and delivered to the RAF in late 1969 and it was rotated between the five Nimrod squadrons stationed at RAF St.Mawgan, Cornwall, and RAF Kinloss in Scotland. It was upgraded to a MR.Mk.2 around 1983 and is currently still in service with No.201 Squadron at RAF Kinloss.

This aircraft was one of 21 jets destroyed during a huge fire that engulfed the flight deck of the USS Forrestal on the morning of 29 July 1967 as the carrier prepared to launch its second strike of the day against targets in North Vietnam. The vessel, with Carrier Air Wing 17 embarked, had only been in the theater on Yankee Station for 48 hours when disaster struck. A Zuni unguided rocket was accidentally fired from an F-4J Phantom II, hitting an A-4 (possibly this aircraft) parked in front of it. Strapped into the cockpit of 'AA416' was Lt. Cdr. John S. McCain, who quickly abandoned his jet and ran for cover. Of the 21 jets destroyed in the ensueing conflageration, 11 of them were A-4Es. By the time the blaze aboard the Forrestal had been brought under control some 12 hours after it had started, 134 sailors were dead and $72 Million worth of damage had been inflicted on the US Navy's first Super Carrier.

The 10th Naval Squadron was formed in Feb 1917 and was initially equipped with Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters. They then converted to Sopwith Triplanes and by the time the Camels arrived late in 1917, Naval 10's famous Triplane "Black Flight" had already scored around 50 victories and were gaining a fearsome reputation with the German Air Service.

Norman Miers MacGregor was one of 29 Aves to fly with "Naval 10". He moved to the Sqn as a flight commander from 6 Naval Sqn late in 1917. He finished the war with 7 (possibly 8) kills to his name with the last two being gained in Camel B6299. As a "B" Flight aircraft it was identified by the late white "B" on the fuselage sides and the distinctive red and white striping around the cowling area and the rear decking behind the cockpit.

(which later became the 336th FS) prior to the establishment of the 4th FG in September 1942, Goodson was one of the most experienced and highest-scoring American pilots in the ETO on the morning of D-Day. He had claimed 15 strafing kills and 14 aerial victories by the time he fell to flak in this very Mustang while strafing the German airfield at Neubrandenberg on June 20, 1944. CO of the 336th FS at the time of his demise, Goodson spent the rest of the war as a POW.

The beautifull Messerschmitt Bf110 was a twin engined heavy fighter, known to the Luftwaffe as a Zerstorer. It provided devastatingly effective in the early months of WWII, as the Luftwaffe conquered everything in its path. The Bf110's high speed, concentrated firepower and loiter capabilities made it the ideal support aircraft for bombing raids into enemy territory. The Battle of Britain served as a bitter lesson for the german Zerstorer groups,as they fell easy prey to the fighters of the Royal Air Force, which were organised and committed. The Spitfires and hurricanes were also able to fight, re-arm and re-fuel and fight again, which allowedthem to engage the 110's several times each day. In the hands of an experinced and talented pilot, however, the Bf110 was a formidable adversary. This stunning 'Shark mouthed' machine was the mount of Oberlaunt Hans-Joachim Jabs and must have made a fearsome sight as it unleashed its concentrated fire-power. Jabs was to become one of the Luftwaffe's most successful Zestorer pilots and was credited with a total of 50 confirmed 'kills'.

Although only entering RAF service in 1937 by the outbreak of WW2 very few Blenheim 1s remained in service with UK-based bomber squadrons, most having been superseded in the bomber role by the much improved MkIV. However the Mk1 continued in service as conversion and crew trainers with OTUs. However of far more significance were around 200 Mk1s that were converted to night fighters carrying the brand new AI (airborne Interception) radar. Similar in overall outline to the standard Mk1 bomber, the night fighter carried an additional under-fuselage pack housing four forward firing 0.303 machine guns. It was such equipped Mk1Fs that scored the first successful AI interception of enemy aircraft on the night of 2-3 July 1940. Blenheim Mk1F, L1327, based at RAF Digby in June 1940, looks remarkably similar to a standard Blenheim bomber apart from the ventral gun pack. It wasn’t until December 1940 that the night fighters began to receive an overall black paint finish.

Leutnant Jacobs went on to fly the Fokker DR. I Triplane rather successfully in Jasta 7 from early 1918 onwards, with his aircraft finished in a distinctive black scheme. Lt. Jacobs victory tally slowly rose, until at 24 victories (achieved on July 19, 1918), he was awarded the coveted Pour le Mérite. Jacobs remained with Jasta 7 until armistice. His final victory tally was 48 enemy aircraft and balloons.

Henry Botterell does not qualify as an air Ace – he had one accredited ‘kill’ whereas five are required for official recognition. However, he gained celebrity in his final years as the sole surviving Royal Naval Air Service pilot and the oldest First World War fighter pilot of any nation. When he died in January 2003, aged 106, there were none left. Born in Ottowa, Canada in 1896, he applied to be a civilian pilot and was sent to England for training in 1916. He enlisted with the Royal Naval Air Service No.8 squadron in May 1917 but on only his second flight he crash landed and sustained multiple injuries. He was discharged from service on medical grounds but en-route back to Canada he met some old chums from No.8 squadron and was persuaded to re-enlist. His old squadron had become No.208 squadron of the newly formed RAF and Botterell flew a variety of aircraft including a staggering 91 sorties in a Sopwith Camel in just 60 days between July and August 1918.

French ace of aces, Georges Marie Ludovic Jules Guynemer, was revered by the people of France as the veteran of over 600 air combats. Twice wounded and awarded 26 citations, the recipient of the highest honors for gallantry France could bestow, his official victory total is 53, but it has been suggested that the true figure is closer to 100. A list of his victories reveals a pattern of intense activity interspersed with gaps of sometimes several weeks. Some are accounted for by the periods of inactivity that often happen in war, but constantly on the brink of nervous collapse, others mark Guynemer’s absences for treatment of more than merely physical wounds. Given the consideration of a later more enlightened age, Georges Guynemer might have been relieved from combat in March 1916 to live out the balance of his life a much decorated but obscure French airman, with eight victories and a proud record in the service of his country.

Ernst Udet, with 62 victories was Germany's second-highest scoring air Ace of World War I and was the highest scoring Ace to survive the war. His comander the infamous Manfred von Richthofen was the only German pilot to beat his tally. Fascinated be aviation from an early age Udet paid for private flying lessons to enable him to be accepted into the German Army Air Service. He joined in April 1915 and, in 1916 he transferred to fighter command and became a skilled and aggressive fighter pilot. He moved quickly through the ranks to become commander of Jasta 37 and beacme a triple Ace by November 1917. His success attracted great attention and he was invited to join the elete 'Flying Circus' commanded by the Red Barron, Manfred von Richthofen and later Herrmann Goering. Richthofen gave Udet his own Jasta to command and his reputation continued to grow untill the end of the war by which time he had become a national hero.

The history of World War I aviation is a rich and varied story. It was marked by a period of rapid technological development, where aircraft evolved from slow-moving, fragilepowered kites, into quick, agile, sturdy, fighter crafts. The Great War consumed the world in a conflict that was unrivaled until that time. It was a kind of war far different than the one that was waged on the ground. The fight for control of the air was where the cunning and bravery of the individual could matter for much. Röth was badly wounded while serving with an artillery regiment. He transferred to the German Air Force after recovering from his wounds, but was injured in a flying accident during training. In and out of hospitals for nearly two years, Röth eventually scored his first three victories on January 25, 1918. On that day, he shot down three enemy balloons in less than ten minutes. On July 30, 1918, he scored his 17th victory, shooting down a Bristol Fighter flown by Irish ace John Cowell. Röth was wounded in action on October 14, 1918. By the end of the war, he was Germany’s highest-scoring balloon buster. Of his 28 confirmed victories, 20 of them were balloons. Extremely depressed that Germany had lost the war, Röth committed suicide. His Knight’s Cross of the Military Order of Max-Joseph was awarded posthumously in 1919.

The Royal Aircraft Factory Se5 was one of the finest fighter aircraft of the First World War, although its introduction was hampered by problems with its advanced engine design. The Se5 was a superb gun platform, but lacked the dog-fighting agility of the more famous Sopwith Camel. The Se5 design was distinctive in the use of an over-wing mounted Lewis machine gun, which allowed for a greater sweep of firepower, or the ability to fire at an enemy from below. No.1 Squadron was the founder squadron of the Royal Flying Corps in 1912 and as such has a special place in RAF history. In early 1918, the squadron, equipped with the improved SE5a fighters, engaged in low level attacks against advancing German forces and helped to repel their last desperate attacks. As the Allied air campaign moved onto the offensive, 1 Squadron Se5a’s were employed in providing fighter cover for the more vulnerable bomber aircraft. Estimated release date 27th October.

Despite being virtually blind in his left eye, Edward 'Mick' Mannock was accepted by the Royal Flying Corps in 1917, and assigned to 40 Squadron at St Omer in France. As a staunch socialist, his political views were not respected. It was not untill he scored his first victory - an enemy balloon, that he began to be admired. In February of 1918, he became flight commander of 74 Sqdn, then he beacme commanding officer of 85 Squadron. Mannock was killed when his aircraft was shot down by machine gun fire from the ground - he had 61 victories to his name. On July 18 , 1919, it was announced that Mannock had won the Victoria Cross.

The National World War II Museum, formerly the D-Day Museum, is designated by Congress as “America’s National World War II Museum.” It interprets the American experience during the World War II years and celebrates the American spirit, the teamwork, optimism, courage and sacrifice of the men and women who won World War II and promotes the exploration and expression of these values by future generations. These releases honor the pilots of D-Day and the continuing efforts of the museum. One of the first “bubbletop” P-47Ds received by the 353rd FG, this aircraft was delivered to the group’s Raydon base on the eve of D-Day. It was assigned to 1st Lt. Kenneth Chetwood, who was universally known as “Choo Choo” to his squadronmates because of his penchant for shooting German trains. This was the last of five P-47s assigned to Chetwood. The fighter remained with the 350th FS until its conversion to Mustangs in October 1944. It was salvaged the following month
