The Hawker Typhoon is a British, single-seat, single-engine, metal, semi-shell attack fighter in World War II low-wing design. Designed to the requirements set by the British Ministry of Defense in the 1937 F.18/37 specification, by renowned designer Sydney Camm. The prototype flight took place on 24 February 1940, and the machine entered mass production in 1941. The aircraft were powered by three variants of the Napier Saber Mk.II engine, ranging from 2180 KM to 2260 KM. There were five versions of this aircraft. The first two are the F.Mk.IA and F.Mk.Ib fighters, which differ mainly in their on-board weapons: AI Mk.IV and Hawker Typhoon FR Mk IB combat radar - reconnaissance version. Having addressed initial design problems, particularly engine flaws, the Hawker Typhoon also had great success against V1 shells and German tanks during the fighting in Normandy. In total, over 3,300 copies were built. Technical data (Typhoon F.Mk.IB version): length: 9.73 m, wingspan: 12.67 m, height: 4.66 m, maximum speed: 663 km/h, rate of climb: 13.59 m /s, maximum range: 821 km, maximum ceiling 10700 m, armament: fixed - 4 20 mm Hispano Mk.II guns, suspended - up to 908 kg of bombs, 8 RP-3 missiles.

The revolutionary design of the F4U Corsair was created in 1938 in response to the US Navy's request to design a high-speed fighter stationed aboard aircraft carriers. Chance Vought took on the challenge, with the goal of fitting the most powerful of the engines available (i.e. the Pratt-Whitney Double Wasp engine) into the smallest airframe possible. The key was placing the awkward landing gear in the inverted, crooked wings that became the plane's hallmark. The flight of the prototype took place on 29 May 1940, and the US Navy received its first serial Corsair on 31 July 1942. However, tests carried out by the US Navy on aircraft carriers revealed some flaws in the design, which meant that the first production run of the aircraft went to Marine Corps squadrons and operated from land bases. The first unit received by the F-4 was VMF-124 at Gudalcanal. It soon turned out that the new machine definitely surpasses all enemy machines and, in many respects, even the F-6 Hellcat. At the same time, however, it was very difficult to fly and required great attention when landing. Interestingly, only up to 20% of Corsair missions took off from the decks of aircraft carriers, and for almost the entire war they remained primarily a Marine Corps machine. After the end of World War II, the F-4 Corsair remained in the line and took part in the Korean War (1950-1953). Technical data (F4U-4 version): Maximum speed: 731 km/h, rate of climb: 19.7 m/s, maximum ceiling 12649 m, maximum range: 1115 km, armament: fixed - 6 M2 machine guns, 12 caliber, 7 mm and 4 20 mm Browning guns, sling - up to 1800 kg of bombs.

Academy 12545 US Navy SB2C-4 Operation Iceberg 1/72 scale. Plastic kit to assemble. The box does not contain glue and colors. The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was an American low-wing dive bomber of World War II. The flight of the prototype took place in 1940, and serial production was carried out in the period 1943-1945. The transmission - in the SB2C-4 version - was provided by a single 1900 HP Wright R-2600-20 engine. The length of the aircraft was 11.18 meters with a wingspan of 15.17 meters. The maximum speed was up to 475 km/h. Deck armament consisted of two 20mm AN/M2 cannons and two 7.62mm Browning machine guns. The machine could also carry a bomb load of up to 1,400 kilograms or a Mark 13-2 torpedo. The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was developed and brought online as a successor to the successful Douglas SBD Dauntless aircraft. The machine, compared to its predecessor, was clearly larger, heavier, but also had a shorter range and was much more demanding on the pilot. However, it was compensated by a very high maximum speed and climb - for this class of machines. Over time, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver has earned an excellent reputation among the crews who fly it. Several versions of this aircraft were developed over the course of production, including: SB2C-1 (first production version armed with 4 12.7 mm MGs and one 7.62 mm MG), SB2C-3 (version with new engine and propeller), SB2C-4 (version with increased capacity) or SB2C-5 (version with increased fuel tank capacity). Machines of this type were used very intensively during the Pacific War of 1943-1945. They took part, for example, during the Battle of the Philippine Sea (1944) or during the Battle of Leyte Bay (1944), but also during the fights on Iwo-Jima and Okinawa (1945). After the end of World War II, many aircraft of this type were delivered, for example, to Greece, France or Italy.
