Frontline Figures: U.S. B-17 Crew 10 Pieces - USF1

Depicted in the picture above is Frontline Figures - U.S. B-17 Crew of 10 military miniatures. These figures are all 1:32 scale (54mm) and are a part of Frontline Figures - Early Air War toy soldier collection. The Boeing B-17 also known as the Flying Fortress was a strategic bomber with 4 engines, used by the US Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force during WWII. The B-17 actually lost the original contract to build 200 heavy bombers for the US Air Corp, but they were so impressed with the bomber, they ordered 13 of them initially. The B-17 was capable of defending itself, doing extensive damage on bombing runs, and return home despite extensive damage.During WWII B-17 Bombers were used in both the European and Pacific theaters.

The Air Corps (renamed United States Army Air Forces or USAAF in 1941), utilizing the B-17 and other bombers, bombed from high altitudes using the then-secret Norden Bombsight, which was an optical electro-mechanical gyro-stabilized computer. During daylight bombing missions and sorties, the device was able to determine, from variables input by the bombardier, the point in space at which the bomber's ordnance type should be released to hit the target. The bombardier essentially took over flight control of the aircraft during the bomb run, maintaining a level attitude during the final moments. Bgs Toy Soldiers has a lot of other pieces in our webstore from Frontline Figures Air War Collection. We also got in a lot of new Napoleonics from Frontline Figures. The Zulu War figures are coming soon.

Frontline Figures: The Red Baron

The world famous Air Ace, The Red Baron, plagued the skies during the WWI period. The pilot, Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen, has been credited with 80 air victories. He was known as the red Baron, due to his red plane. Manfred von Richthofen started him military career as an Uhlan cavalry unit in 1911. During WWI, the increased use of the machine gun rendered the Uhlan units obsolete and Manfred applied for a transfer to the Luftstreitkräfte, which later be known as the Luftwaffe.
