		Name	Ref: MPM72561 Created: 01/19/2011 BOULTON PAUL DEFIANT Description: The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British fighter aircraft and bomber interceptor used early in the Second World War. The Defiant was designed and built by Boulton Paul Aircraft as a "turret fighter" and served with the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was a contemporary of the Royal Navy’s Blackburn Roc. The concept of a turret fighter was similar to that of the First World War-era Bristol Fighter. In practice, the Defiant was found to be vulnerable to the Luftwaffe’s more agile, single-seat Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters; crucially, the Defiant did not have any forward-firing guns. It was later used as a night fighter before it was supplanted in that role by the Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito. The Defiant found use in gunnery training, target towing, ECM and air-sea rescue. Among RAF pilots, it had the nickname "Daffy", probably a diminutive of the word "Defiant".

		Name	Ref: MPM72562 Created: 01/19/2011 X-15A -2 "with Dummy" Description: The North American X-15 rocket-powered aircraft/spaceplane was part of the X-series of experimental aircraft, initiated with the Bell X-1, that were made for the USAF, NASA, and the USN. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the early 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. As of 2011[update], it holds the official world record for the fastest speed ever reached by a manned rocket powered aircraft. During the X-15 program, 13 of the flights (by eight pilots) met the USAF spaceflight criteria by exceeding the altitude of 50 miles (80.5 km, 264,000 ft), thus qualifying the pilots for astronaut status. The USAF pilots qualified for USAF astronaut wings, while the civilian pilots were later awarded NASA astronaut wings. Of all the X-15 missions, two flights (by the same pilot) qualified as space flights per the international (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) definition of a spaceflight by exceeding 100 kilometres (62.1 mi, 328,084 ft) in altitude.

		Name	Ref: MPM72563 Created: 09/07/2010 GLOSTER METEOR F Mk III Description: The Gloster Meteor F Mk.III was the first version of the Meteor to be produced in large numbers, and the first truly satisfactory version of the aircraft. The first production version, the F Mk.I, lacked engine power, and was at best equal in performance to the best piston engined aircraft, but the majority of Meteor F Mk.IIIs were powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce Derwent I engines, each providing 2,000lb of thrust, making the Meteor F Mk.III clearly superior to the contemporary Spitfires and Mustangs, at least in speed. However both the Mk.I and Mk.III were slow to respond to the throttle, with the result that they tended to take too long to reach top speed. Stock:	Speciality	Planes world war 2

		Name	Ref: MPM72564 Created: 01/19/2011 DOUGLAS A - 20J/K "HAVOC" Description: The Douglas A-20/DB-7 Havoc was a family of American attack, light bomber and night fighter aircraft of World War II, serving with several Allied air forces, principally those of the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States. The DB-7 was also used by the air forces of Australia, South Africa, France, and the Netherlands during the war, and Brazil afterwards. The bomber aircraft was known as Boston among British and Commonwealth air forces, while the RAF night fighter variants were given the service name Havoc. The USAAF assigned the DB-7 the designation "A-20" and gave it the popular name "Havoc". Stock:	Speciality	Planes world war 2

		Name	Ref: MPM72567 Created: 04/15/2011 GLOSTER METEOR F Mk I Description: Very first operational version of the British jet fighter. The first 20 aircraft were delivered to the Royal Air Force on 1 June 1944. No. 616 Squadron RAF was the first to receive operational Meteors, 14 of them. The squadron was based at RAF Culmhead, Somerset and had been previously equipped with the Spitfire VII. After a conversion course at Farnborough for the six leading pilots, the first aircraft was delivered to Culmhead on 12 July 1944. The squadron now with seven Meteors moved on 21 July 1944 to RAF Manston on the east Kent coast and, within a week, 30 pilots were converted. The Meteor was initially used to counter the V-1 flying bomb threat. 616 Squadron Meteors saw action for the first time on 27 July 1944, when three aircraft were active over Kent. These were the Meteor’s (and the Royal Air Force’s) first operational jet combat missions. After some problems, especially with jamming guns, the first two V1 "kills" were made on 4 August. By war’s end, Meteors accounted for 14 flying bombs. Stock:	Speciality	Planes world war 2
