WWII Pilot Figure Set 1/48 scale - Hasegawa model.During World War II, the U.S. Air Force, the USAAF (United States Army Air Force), was not a type of independent armed force and was formally under the command of the Army. In the course of this conflict, they became the most powerful air force in the world, and by the time hostilities ended, they numbered about 2.25 million people! Due to the fact that the American aviation industry was one of the most modern and efficient in the world, the USAAF saw many successful and sometimes outstanding aircraft models. It is worth mentioning that in 1940-1945 it produced a total of about 295 thousand. machines, and thus more than the aviation industry of Germany, Italy, and Japan combined. In addition, among these thousands of machines produced are the highly successful P-38 Lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt or P-51 Mustang tactical fighters, the B-25 Mitchell or B-26 Marauder tactical bombers, but also the legendary B- 17 Flying Fortress strategic bombers and the B-29 Super Fortress. The USAAF pilot training system can also be considered successful and well-designed, as it was able to provide the rapidly expanding air force with well-trained pilots. It is also worth mentioning that, unlike the German air force, American aircrews and pilots were rotational, and after serving for a period of time, they very often returned to the country, to training units, passing on their experiences. This fact may explain why American fighter aces (such as Richard Bong or Thoma McGuire) had "only" dozens of kills compared to several hundred German aces (such as Erich Hartmann or Gerhard Barkhorn).The Luftwaffe is a German air force that began forming in February 1935 under a special order from the Nazi dictator of Germany - Adolf Hitler. The commander of the Luftwaffe - from its inception until the end of World War II - was Herman Göring. The quantitative development of German aviation in the period 1935-1939 was rapid, and at that time it was equipped with machines that in fact served until the end of the war, including the Me-109 fighter, Ju-87 Stukas dive bombers or medium bombers such as the He-111 or Ju-88. Some German pilots also gained combat experience while serving as part of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Moreover, even before the war, the Luftwaffe was oriented in such a way that it could support ground force operations as effectively as possible. This was reflected in its equipment, structure and organization, as well as in the training of pilots. German aviation emerged successfully from the campaigns in Poland, Norway, and France, with the Luftwaffe suffering relatively heavy losses in the latter campaign, both in aircraft and personnel. On the other hand, a very painful lesson was the Battle of Britain, during which it had a decisive defeat, losing many more aircraft, and especially well-trained pilots, than the enemy. It may be added, by the way, that Adolf Galland was one of the Luftwaffe's best fighter pilots during this battle. In the course of the fighting on the Eastern Front (1941-1945), the German Air Force, especially at the beginning of the conflict, dominated the quality of aircraft and the training of crews and pilots, which resulted in horrendous losses of the Soviet Air Force and led to even fantastic results in shooting down German fighter aces, such as Hermann Graf or Walter Nowotny. However, in the years 1942-1943 the balance of victory in the air war over Europe began to tilt toward the Soviet and - above all - Allied aviation, which, thanks to machines such as the latest versions of the Spitfire or the P- 51 Mustang, caused more and more losses to the German Luftwaffe, even in the course of fighting over Germany and in the course of strategic bombing. The Luftwaffe's efforts to make a quantum leap by introducing jet-powered machines such as the Me-262 or Ar-234 into the line in 1944-1945 also brought no effect, and the less and less trained German pilots suffered increasing losses in the clash with Allied machines. It is assumed that from the beginning of the war to January 1945, the losses of Luftwaffe personnel amounted to about 140,000. people killed and about 155,000. people missing.The RAF (full English name: Royal Air Force) is the British air force that began to bear this name in April 1918. Previously, it was known as the Royal Flying Corps. From April 1918 they also became an independent air force, not under the command of the army or navy. For much of the interwar period, the RAF took no part in any major military conflict, dealing mainly with communication and transportation tasks. However, faced with the growing threat from Nazi Germany, the RAF was reorganized in 1936, separating three commands within it: coastal defense, fighter and bombing. From the mid-1930s, the process of implementing new types of aircraft began, such as the Hawker Hurricane (prototype flight in 1935) or the Supermarine Spitfire (prototype flight in 1936). The process of building a radar network in England and Scotland, which was later called Chain Home, was initiated and continued with considerable success. RAF squadrons have taken part in combat operations since the beginning of World War II, and the greatest success of the British Air Force is the victory in the Battle of Britain (1940), achieved despite numerical superiority on the German side, and with the support of pilots from many countries-in those from Poland. It is worth adding that in the course of these struggles hunting tactics underwent profound reform. The RAF also made a great contribution to the air defense of Malta against the Italian and German air forces. It also participated in virtually every major British ground offensive from 1942 to 1945. Independently, and later together with American bombers, it carried out strategic bombing raids of Germany. There is no doubt that the RAF during World War II proved to be one of the most powerful air forces during this conflict.
