HISTORY ASPECTS:
Having seen the introduction of advanced monoplane fighter designs in both the German and Japanese air forces, America was only too aware that their own Air Force was in need of upgrade as a matter of urgency. To this end, an official requirement was issued in February 1937 for the production of a new pursuit fighter, an aircraft which would have to possess performance which had never previously been seen, not only on an American aircraft, but anywhere else in the world. The Lockheed Aircraft Company were one of six companies determined to satisfy this demanding requirement and entrusted the design of this radical new aircraft to talented designer Clarence 'Kelly' Johnson, who was basically given a free rein during its development.
Almost immediately, he determined that a single engined aircraft could not satisfy these demanding specifications and started work on a twin engined design, one which featured twin booms to house the engines and superchargers, with a centrally positioned nacelle for the cockpit and the fighter's heavy armament. The new aircraft looked incredible and was a radical departure from any fighter aircraft design that had gone before it, with Lockheed being awarded a contract to produce a prototype example. The XP38 was a thing of beauty and after just a short 38 minute maiden flight, everyone at Lockheed knew they had a winner on their hands. In fact, officials were so impressed with the aircraft's performance that they immediately decided to make an attempt on the US Transcontinental speed record to highlight its potential, an attempt which saw the XP38 shatter the existing record by an impressive 23 minutes. Unfortunately, it appears that officials at the destination airport were not expecting the arrival of the strange new fighter and kept it holding so long that it actually ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing on a local golf course.
Nevertheless, the aircraft had shown its potential and the US Army Air Force ordered sixty-six aircraft and America had their first 400 mph fighter. The introduction of the P-38 Lightning was not without its problems, however, this was not surprising bearing in mind its performance and configuration were so radically different to anything which had gone before it. Almost constant development would see the Lightning develop into a devastatingly effective high altitude interceptor and with engines which both drove outwardly rotating propellors, also eventually proved to be an incredibly stable aircraft. Possessing impressive range and firepower, the Lightning would eventually be used to avenge the Pearl Harbor attack, when sixteen P-38s of the 339th Fighter Squadron intercepted a bomber carrying Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the mastermind of that infamous raid, and shot it down.

The USAF C-17A Globemaster III with tail number 00179, based at Altus Air Force Base, is an essential component of the United States Air Force's (USAF) strategic airlift capabilities. This massive cargo aircraft has played a vital role in numerous conflicts and humanitarian missions, showcasing its versatility and reliability.
The McDonnell Douglas/Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft that was developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 carries forward the name of two previous piston-engine military cargo aircraft, the Douglas C-74 Globemaster and the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II.
The C-17 is based upon the YC-15, a smaller prototype airlifter designed during the 1970s. It was designed to replace the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, and also fulfill some of the duties of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. Compared to the YC-15, the redesigned airlifter differed in having swept wings, increased size, and more powerful engines. Development was protracted by a series of design issues, causing the company to incur a loss of nearly US$1.5 billion on the program's development phase. On 15 September 1991, roughly one year behind schedule, the first C-17 performed its maiden flight. The C-17 formally entered USAF service on 17 January 1995. Boeing, which merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, continued to manufacture the C-17 for almost two decades. The final C-17 was completed at the Long Beach, California plant and flown on 29 November 2015.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, the C-17A 00179 was at the forefront of airlift operations, providing critical support in the form of troop transportation, medical evacuation, and the rapid deployment of supplies and equipment. Its ability to carry oversized cargo and operate from austere airfields made it an invaluable asset in these high-stakes conflicts.
Additionally, the aircraft has been instrumental in humanitarian missions, delivering aid and relief supplies to disaster-stricken regions around the world. Its presence in operations like Hurricane Katrina relief efforts demonstrated its adaptability beyond the battlefield, solidifying its reputation as a workhorse for the USAF.
Whether you're a collector or an aviation enthusiast, this 1:200 scale model serves as a tribute to the brave men and women of the USAF who have relied on the C-17A for critical missions. Display it with pride, honoring the aircraft's remarkable service record and its continued role in defending freedom and aiding those in need around the world.

HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Hurricane, a classic British fighter aircraft, holds an esteemed place in aviation history. Introduced into the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1930s, this robust and agile aircraft played a crucial role during World War II. Its combat debut came during the Battle of France in 1940, where it displayed its prowess as a formidable fighter. Armed with eight .303 machine guns, the Hurricane was well-equipped to engage enemy aircraft, and its sturdy construction allowed it to withstand significant damage.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Hurricane was its role during the Battle of Britain, a pivotal conflict in 1940. Alongside the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane defended the skies of the United Kingdom against relentless German air raids. Its excellent maneuverability and the fact that it was already in service in larger numbers than the Spitfire at the war's outbreak made it an invaluable asset. Hurricanes shot down more enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain than any other British aircraft.
Technical details of the Hurricane include its maximum speed of around 340 mph (547 km/h), a range of approximately 600 miles (965 km), and a wingspan of 40 feet, 0 inches (12.2 meters). This historic aircraft perfectly captures its distinctive design and combat-ready appearance. It's not just a collectible; it's a homage to the heroism and innovation of the RAF during one of the most critical chapters in aviation history. Display this model proudly and remember the Hurricane's gallant service in the defense of freedom.

The G4M "Betty" played a pivotal role in the early stages of the war, carrying out missions in various conflicts across the Pacific.
In December 1941, just hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, G4M "Betty" bombers from the Takao Kokutai were involved in the surprise aerial assault on the US-held Clark Air Base in the Philippines. This attack aimed to neutralize American airpower in the region and enable Japan to secure its conquests in Southeast Asia. The "Betty" bombers showcased their range and bombing capabilities, proving to be a formidable threat.
The G4M continued to be utilized in subsequent campaigns, including the Battle of Midway and the Solomon Islands campaign. Its long range made it suitable for maritime reconnaissance, level bombing, and torpedo attacks against enemy ships. However, the aircraft faced vulnerabilities due to its lack of defensive armament and armor protection, earning it the nickname "flying lighter" among its crews. Despite these shortcomings, the G4M remained a key component of the Japanese naval air force until the latter stages of the war.
