World War II pilots of the British naval aviation in 1/32 scale - ICM Figurines. The UK Fleet Air Arm (FAA) was founded in 1924. It was part of the Air Force as an aviation command on ships and bridges and only in the spring of 1939 was transferred to direct subordination to the Navy. Their duties included reconnaissance, fire control, attack operations against warships and merchant ships, and defense against enemy submarines and aircraft. At the beginning of World War II, the Navy Air Force consisted of 20 squadrons with 232 aircraft, mostly reconnaissance and torpedo bombers. Operations carried out by the FAA included attacking the Italian fleet at Taranto, sinking the battleship Bismarck, thwarting the breakthrough of German ships across the English Channel, and Operation Wolfram against the battleship Tirpitz. Fleet aviation pilots also took part in the Battle of Britain, such as the 804th Squadron, armed with Sea Gladiator fighters.
1/32 Soviet fighter pilots WWII set N°2 Air Force is one of the types of Soviet armed forces that emerged shortly after the October Revolution of 1917. The intensive development of Soviet military aviation took place from the early 1930s, when this type of military force was expanded, but new types of aircraft were also introduced, such as I-15 or I-16 fighters or bombers such as SB -2 or DB- 3. It is worth adding that some of these types of aircraft, used during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), were not significantly inferior to their Italian or German counterparts in its early period. However, the advent of machines such as the Me-109 and He-111 changed this state of affairs. It can be assumed that the introduction of new aircraft in VVS accelerated indirectly in 1939-1941, particularly combat machines such as the Yak-1 or LaGG-3. However, in the initial period of the war with Germany (1941-1945), Soviet aviation suffered huge losses. They may be explained by the deficiencies of well-trained officer cadres (after the Stalinist purges of the 1930s), the inferior individual training of Soviet pilots compared to their German opponents, or the inferior tactics used by Soviet pilots. However, in the course of World War II, these shortcomings were to a greater or lesser extent compensated for, and Soviet aviation was supplied with new (good or excellent) types of aircraft to replace the entire Yakovlev aircraft family : Yak-3, Yak-7 or Yak-9. The achievements of the Soviet aircraft industry were also not on parade, which from June 1941 to May 1945 produced about 157 thousand. machines! It is worth adding that the WWS was the only air force in World War II to introduce a program to train women for air service as fighter and bomber pilots. The effects of this program were, for example, the achievements of Lidia Litwiak or Jekaterina Butanowa.

1/32 Soviet fighter pilots WW II setAeronautica Militare è uno dei tipi di forze armate sovietiche emerse poco dopo la Rivoluzione d'Ottobre del 1917.

Si può presumere che l'introduzione di nuovi velivoli in VVS abbia subito un'accelerazione indiretta nel 1939-1941, in particolare macchine da combattimento come lo Yak-1 o il LaGG-3. Tuttavia, nel periodo iniziale della guerra con la Germania (1941-1945), l'aviazione sovietica subì enormi perdite. Possono essere spiegati dalle carenze dei quadri ufficiali ben addestrati (dopo le epurazioni staliniste degli anni '30), dall'addestramento individuale inferiore dei piloti sovietici rispetto ai loro avversari tedeschi o dalle tattiche inferiori utilizzate dai piloti sovietici. Tuttavia, nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale, queste carenze furono in misura maggiore o minore compensate e l'aviazione sovietica fu alimentata da nuovi (buoni o ottimi) tipi di aerei, per sostituire l'intera famiglia di aerei Yakovlev : Yak-3, Yak-7 o Yak-9. Anche le conquiste dell'industria aeronautica sovietica non erano in parata, che dal giugno 1941 al maggio 1945 ne produsse circa 157 mila. macchine! Vale la pena aggiungere che la WWS è stata l'unica forza aerea nella seconda guerra mondiale a introdurre un programma per addestrare le donne al servizio aereo come piloti di caccia e bombardieri. Gli effetti di questo programma sono stati, ad esempio, i risultati di Lidia Litwiak o Jekaterina Butanowa.

World War II Allied pilots in the cockpit 1/32 (British, American, Soviet) - ICM Set During World War II, the air war took on colossal proportions. The number of combat aircraft produced in the air forces of all opposing countries amounted to tens of thousands. Grandiose air battles took place in all theaters of operation, and all significant military operations were already unthinkable without air support. The pilots of Britain, the United States, the USSR and the Allied countries were good fighters and dangerous adversaries. And the confirmation of this is the huge number of their air victories in the skies over Europe, North Africa and Asia.
