North American P-51D Mustang
This giant kit is highly detailed and measures 16 1/8" long
with a wingspan of 18 1/2" when complete. The Mustang used
by the US Army Air Force during WW II possessed excellent range
and manourverability, the P - 51 operated as a long range escort
fighter and ground attack fighter bomber. The P-51D was one of
the finest and fastest aircraft of the Second World War with a
maximum speed of 435 mph. For instance, you could use an AMT
1940 Ford kit to go with this project. There are several Military
Jeep kits as well for these war years.

Junkers Ju-87B Stuka
Number of parts: 344. The Stuka was the most famous of all planes
used by the Germans as a sturzkamfflugzeug (dive bomber). It is
instantly recognisable with its inverted gull-wings, and fixed-undercarriage.
The Ju 87 was ugly, sturdy, accurate, but very vulnerable to enemy
fighters. Its accuracy was high when in a full dive that was up
to 80 degrees. Once the bomb was released it used an automatic
pull-up system to ensure that the plane pulled out of the dive
even if the pilot blacked out from the high G forces.

The
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in North Africa- The Focke-Wulf was
already a feared opponent on the Channel Front when it appeared
in North Africa in November 1942, and, though perceived by
many to have been the fighter 'workhorse' of the Luftwaffe
on the Western and Eastern fronts during World War II, the
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 also served in unit strength in North Africa
from late 1942 until the German collapse in May 1943. This
new book is a day-to-day account of the air war over Tunisia
and Algeria told through war diaries and first-hand accounts
from both the German and Allied pilots who flew in the theater.
Includes appendices with complete loss and victory lists,
camouflage and markings of Fw 190s in North Africa, and Fw
190 captured in Tunisia. After three years of in-depth research,
the story of the pilots and units that flew the Fw 190 in
North Africa can now be told. Using over 100 photos, many
from private collections, plus illustrations and profiles,
the authors describe the interesting story of the air war
fought over Tunisia and Algeria from the view of the Fw 190
pilots.
Shot
to Hell: Stories and the Photos of Ravaged WWII Warbirds
- Most of the photos in this fascinating collection have
never before been published, they are well reproduced,
and the captions are crisp and infomative. Plus I could not
find one error of fact. People who read this sort of material
know that in itself is an achievement! Although this is mostly
a picture book, the accompanying text flows smoothly and provides
a good sense of the times.

- The Smithsonian covers and chronicles the arts, environment,
sciences and popular culture of the times. Composed for modern,
well-rounded individuals with diverse interests.
P-51
Mustang Pilot's Flight Manual - Used primarily as a long-range
bomber escort in raids over Germany, the North American P-51
Mustang earned a reputation for toughness and agility in dogfights.
Carrying a two-stage supercharged V-12 Merlin engine and armed
with six .50 caliber machine guns, the P-51 helped the Allies
gain air superiority in the skies over Europe. P-51s were
flown by the famed Tuskegee Airmen, and remained in service
during the Korean War. World airforces made extensive use
of the Mustang, some into the 1980's. Originally published
by North American Aviation and classified "Restricted",
this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted
in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted,
and color images appear as black and white. Care has been
taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.
