However, before the Germans could attempt an amphibious invasion across the English Channel, the Luftwaffe had to neutralise the threat posed by the Royal Air Force and secure mastery of the skies. For the first time, they were at a disadvantage, with the natural barrier of the English Channel meaning that fuel management was critical and any mechanical or combat damage issues would result in capture and internment for German crews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene was set for an aerial struggle unlike anything the world had seen before: a duel amongst the clouds that could dictate the outcome of the Second World War. Facing overwhelming odds, the pilots of Fighter Command were from Britain and Commonwealth nations, but also from several other countries from around the globe, each one determined to prevent the Luftwaffe from ruling the skies over Britain.

The new aircraft were B.III (Specials), referred to at Avro's Woodford factory as Lancaster Type 464 Provisioning and each one had been modified with equipment to deliver the Vickers Type 464 'Upkeep' mine. Although the mines had not been delivered to Scampton at that time, talk amongst the crews inevitably turned to discussing their intended target, with most assuming they would be sent to attack the massive German battleship Tirpitz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs more Lancaster's arrived, the commander of this new squadron, Wing Commander Guy Gibson, selected Lancaster ED932\/AJ-G as his own aircraft, due to the fact that the bomber's codes were the same as his father's initials, Alexander James Gibson. Gibson and the crew of ED932 were amongst the first to train with their new aircraft and their unusual bombs, releasing their mines at a test site at Reculver on the north Kent coast from 12th May 1943, just five days before crews embarked on their historic raid. After a period of intense training and on the day prior to the raid, Gibson was finally briefed on the intended targets - 'Operation Chastise' would be striking at the industrial heart of Germany, the great dams of the Ruhr Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 21.39 on 16th May 1943, Gibson and Lancaster ED932 took off from RAF Scampton at the head of the first attack wave of nine Lancasters heading for the Mohne Dam, flying a route over Suffolk, then the North Sea, crossing the Dutch coast at Zeeland, before heading inland attempting to avoid known areas of Luftwaffe defences. As Gibson and his crew made their attack run on the Mohne Dam, the other Lancasters of the first wave circled the target area, watching the effectiveness of the attack run and waiting for the instruction to commence their own attack. Having released their mine, Gibson and his crew flew alongside the other aircraft during their attacks, attempting to draw enemy fire away from the attacking aircraft, giving them the best chance of effecting a breach. The fifth mine dropped was a perfect run and exploded in exactly the right place to cause the already weakened dam to fail – they had done it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years which followed, this incredible operation was referred to as the 'Dambusters Raid' and No.617 Squadron would become one of the RAF's most famous units. 'Operation Chastise' was heralded as a spectacular success for Bomber Command, but at a heavy cost, as eight Lancasters and 53 airmen failed to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo.617 Squadron continues the proud legacy of the Dambusters airmen to this day, as the first operational RAF unit equipped with the Lockheed Martin® F-35® Lightning, symbolically officially reforming in April 2018, the month in which the Royal Air Force commemorated its centenary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234356494603,"sku":"A50191","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/airfix-a50191-dambusters-80th-anniversary-gift-set.jpg?v=1749030955"},{"product_id":"airfix-a50192-1-72-d-day-fighters-gift-set","title":"D-Day Fighters [gift set]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe importance of the role air power played in the months leading up to D-Day cannot be overstated, with the Allied powers knowing that securing superiority of the skies over the proposed landing beaches could be the difference between success and failure of the entire operation.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThat being the case, Allied air forces were committed in ever-increasing numbers from the end of 1943, attacking airfields, supply infrastructure and other strategic targets, and mounting hundreds of diversionary attacks.
