Limited Edition.

By the last week of September 1940, high German losses brought an end to large-scale daylight raids on England and the Luftwaffe turned to night attacks by mid-October in what became known as the Blitz.

This set includes a Heinkel He 111H-3 of 2 Staffel, KG 100, one of the Luftwaffe's pathfinder units, based at Vannes-Meucon on the Biscay coast. This aricraft was engaged in the night blitz using Knickebein guidance. From mid September 1940, He 111's were largely confined to nocturnal duites because of heavy attrition and 'beam-bombing' gave accuracy at night.

With it are a Spitfire MkI, X4253, which flew with 611 Squadron from Rochford in Essex in December 1940 and was piloted by Pilot Officer Pegge and a Messerschmitt Me 109E of JG 51 and piloted by Heinz Bar as a bomber escort, again in December 1940.
