Two birds of prey clash in a battle for survival. Probably two of the three finest propeller driven fighters (the third being the P 51 Mustang) of World War II, the Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf Fw 190 (aptly nicknamed the “Butcher Bird” by allied aircrew) and the Royal Airforce Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX.

The legendary Avro Lancaster bomber first saw service with the Royal Air Force in February 1942, becoming one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history, and of World War II. Undoubtably the aircraft’s most famous role was in the 617 Squadron’s Dambusters Raid, however, the aircraft was the mainstay of Britain’s bomber fleet in World War II and carried the biggest bomb load of any bomber in service in the conflict.

The De Havilland Mosquito was manufactured mainly of wood, earning the nickname “Wooden Wonder”. It was one of the most effective and fastest operational aircraft in World War II.
