## Publisher's Description

Giuseppe Cenni was a career officer in the Regia Aeronautica and fought in the Spanish Civil War. At the outbreak of the Second World War Cenni undertook training on the Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber. He commanded a squadron of Ju 87s (known as ‘Picchiatelli’ in Italian service) in the Mediterranean and North Africa with great success. In the face of increasingly fierce aerial opposition, Cenni’s squadron re-equipped with Re.2002 fighter-bombers in July 1943. Cenni was killed leading his men against the Allied landings in Sicily, just five days before the announcement of the armistice.

Ju-88C - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Ju 88C was one of the most successful heavy fighters used by the Luftwaffe. It was a conversion of the Ju 88 bomber with its usual glasshouse nose replaced by a solid fairing mounting a formidable battery of machine guns and cannon. The Ju 88C worked in multiple roles throughout the war including ground attack as a fighter-bomber, bomber-destroyer, intruder, maritime long range escort and strike aircraft.

Hero of the Soviet Union Mariya Ivanovna Dolina enlisted as a volunteer in the 269th Fighter Regiment in 1941 and flew 200 combat special missions in an antiquated U-2 training aircraft carrying orders, mail and medical supplies for the hard-pressed Southern Front. In 1942 she graduated to flying the fast Pe-2 twin engine bomber with the 587th Dive Bomber Regiment and her first combat mission was fought above Stalingrad. Promoted to Guard Captain, she became deputy squadron leader of the 125th Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment M. Raskova, leading her comrades in 72 successful bombing operations over the Northern Caucasus, the Kuban, Crimea, Kursk, Belarus and the Baltic. Ivanovna survived the war and continued to serve in the Soviet Air Force into the 1970s.

Yak-1B - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

In Blood Red Skies, a squadron of Yak-1Bs is more than a match for any equivalent German fighter squadron. Like other Soviet aircraft, they have high agility and low firepower - so you might struggle to tangle with late-war fighters like the Focke-Wulf 190s, but will fare well against the earlier marks of Bf109.

Ki-45 Toryu 'Nick' - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Ki45 Toryu (Dragon slayer, Allied reporting name Nick) was a twin-engine heavy fighter patterned after the Me110 and its contemporaries, becoming one of the most important of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force’s warplanes.
Initially deployed in bomber escort roles, it soon became clear that the Ki-45 was no match for single-engined Allied fighters in one-on-one combat. It was thus redeployed and with its heavy cannon armament enjoyed success as a formidable bomber hunter.

Ju-87D Stuka - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The junkers 87D Stuka was a dive-bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Identifiable by its gull wings and spatted undercarriage, it became infamous because of its wailing sirens which let out a horrible shrieking noise when it dove, terrifying Allied soldiers. Excellent against ground targets and not so much in air-to-air combat, it was produced before the war and up to 1944 which was when it became vulnerable due to lack of Luftwaffe air presence.

D3A 'Val' & B5N 'Kate' - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The D3A ‘Val’ was a dive bomber and the B5N ‘Kate’ was a torpedo bomber. Coordinated strikes from these two aircraft redefined the future of naval aviation and sounded the death knell of the battleship. The Aichi Dive bombers would ideally cripple the anti-aircraft ability of their target to facilitate the approach of the much slower torpedo bombers. They are best remembered for their involvement on the attack on Pearl Harbor.
A naval dive bomber with many similarities to the German Ju 87 Stuka, the Val was armed with two fixed forward machineguns and two rear trainable ones. It carried a crew of two and a light bomb load. Used in the anti-shipping dive-bomber mode, the Val was a mainstay of the Japanese carrier-based war effort.
Although the B5N compared favourably to Allied counterparts at the start of its involvement in the war, it was already approaching obsolescence in 1941. It still served throughout the entirety of the war due to the delayed development of its intended successor, the B6N. It had a 3-man crew, pilot, navigator/bombardier/observer, and radio operator/gunner.

## Publisher's Description

Tsuboi was a graduate of the Naval Reserve Aviation Group’s 9th Class in January 1943. He began his combat flying career with the 934th Kokutai flying A6M2-N floatplane fighters in the Dutch East Indies. Tsuboi also saw limited action flying missions in the N1K1 Kyofu before joining the 302nd Kokutai late in 1944. Between December 1944 and February 1945 Tsuboi rose to become the first and only Ace in the J2M Raiden, credited with five and a half victories including two B29 superfortresses and four F6F Hellcats (one shared). Tsuboi was killed by return fire from a Superfortress in April 1945.

## Publisher's Description

Ivan Kozhedub fought in both WWII and later in Korea. His first combat mission was on 26 March 1943. His first victory came in July over the Kursk battlefields and his record would soon climb. With a natural gift for deflection shooting (aiming ahead of a moving target at the time of firing), his total claims would reach 62 enemy aircraft shot down, including one Me 262 jet fighter, plus a possible unconfirmed 2 USAAF P-51 Mustang fighters.

B.P.Defiant - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British interceptor aircraft, it was designed to be used a turret fighter with no forward-firing guns. It was found to be effective at destroying bombers but vulnerable to fighters, more specifically the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Bf 109. For its lack of forward-firing weapons, it suffered during daylight operations and was moved for night-time duties.

## Publisher's Description

Saburō Sakai was the Imperial Japanese Navy's fourth highest ranking Ace. When war began he shot down the first B-17 to be lost in the Pacific theatre. During a mission over Guadalcanal Sakai was badly injured but still limped his damage plane home and reported to his superior before collapsing. Despite the loss of an eye, Sakai went on to score at least 69 kills.

B-26B Marauder - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The B-26 Marauder was a fast medium bomber with clean aerodynamic lines, all-metal construction and two R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines.

Marauders initially had a high accident rate as its speed and small wings made it difficult to fly. Improved training and a wing redesign rectified this and by the end of WW2 the Marauder had the lowest loss rate of any U.S. Army Air Force bomber. Over five thousand Marauders were built and it served in the European, Mediterranean and Pacific theatres.

## Publisher's Description

Pokryshkin was a three-time recipient of the Hero of the Soviet Union decoration during wartime - for his exceptional air combat record of 53 solo kills and 6 shared ones (though these tallies are disputed nowadays).
He was airborne on the first day of Operation Barbarossa, shooting down a Bf109 after being jumped on a recon mission, and would continue flying for the duration of the war, inventing new air combat tactics and stoking the USSR's propaganda mill.

MiG-3 - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

While the MiG-3 has the Sluggish trait, it is a serviceable frontline fighter with decent mobility conferred by the Great Dive trait, with an agility and firepower score equal to that of the early war Bf109's it's most likely to come into contact with. A squadron of these could easily support Yak-1s or I-16s without too much trouble.

A6M2 Zero - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a fast, modern fighter, but had no armour for the pilot. When the Zero was in the hands of aggressive and well-trained pilots this weakness was rarely apparent. Fast and manoeuvrable, and with an extremely long range, it proved a menace to the Allies in the early stages of the Pacific War.

Referred to by its pilots as Reisen (Zero fighter); ‘0’ coming from the last digit of the Imperial Year 2600 in which the aircraft entered service), the official Allied reporting name was “Zeke” though colloquially “Zero” came into common Allied usage as well.

The A6M remains the most famous of all Japanese World War Two warplanes, significant for being the first carrier-borne fighter in the world to be seen as equal to its land-based counterpart. The lack of an adequate successor as technologies moved on meant that the aircraft was developed and produced in vast numbers long after its effective limits had been achieved and surpassed by superior Allied aircraft.

Kaneyoshi Muto - Ace box

## Publisher's Description

Kaneyoshi Muto scored his first aerial victory in China in December 1937 and became an Ace by the end of the following year. At the opening of the Second World War Muto fought across the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, the Java Sea and New Guinea. He flew alongside Saburo Sakai at Iwo Jima, who called him ‘the toughest fighter pilot in the Imperial Navy’. In December 1944 Muto was sent to the Japanese Home islands to defend them against B29 Superfortress attacks, flying the powerful N1K-J Shiden. He finally fell in combat in July 1945 with between 28 and 35 victories including four B29s.

P-39 Airacobra - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was one of the principal fighters in service with US Army Air Forces upon the nation's entry into World War Two. It was also used throughout the war by (most prominently) the Soviet Air Force, the Free French, the RAF and the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force, and thus service in most theaters, but particularly in the Southwest Pacific, Mediterranean and USSR.

Rejected for use in Western Europe by the RAF due to its relative inefficacy at high-altitude, the Soviets made good use of it on the Eastern front where the majority of air combats took place at lower altitudes. Under Soviet pilots, the P-39 collected the highest number of kills attributed to any US fighter type by any air force in any conflict.

P-47 Thunderbolt - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The P-47 Thunderbolt was a versatile US fighter aircraft produced between 1941 and 1945 operating in both the Mediterranean and Pacific theatres. In addition to eight wing-mounted .50-caliber machine guns, it was capable of carrying five-inch rockets or a bomb load of up to 2500 pounds. When fully-loaded up in this manner, the fighter was one of the heaviest of the entire war. However, this meant it could fulfil a number of roles - performing well as a short to medium range escort fighter as well as in a ground attack role.

Ki-43 'Oscar' - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

At the time of Japan’s entry into World War Two, the land-based Ki-43 Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon) was the amongst the most advanced aircraft available to the nation, and was also the most important in numerical terms, with 5900 aircraft produced. The Oscar enjoyed air superiority early in the war, but as newer Allied aircraft were introduced, its armament began to show inadequacies. The Ki-43 II improved the Hayabusa’s engine by adding a two-stage supercharger, upgraded its protection by including self-sealing fuel tanks and pilot armour and replaced its rifle calibre armament with 12.7mm heavy machine guns.
Like its Imperial Japanese Navy counterpart, the A6M Zero, the Ki-43 Oscar remained in service long after advancing technologies had rendered it obsolete.

N1K2-J Shiden-Kai - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Kawanishi N1K-2 ‘Shiden Kai’ (“Violet Lightning”) was an Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force (IJNAF) land-based fighter. Known by the Allied forces as “George”, the N1K-2 was considered to be one of the finest land-based fighters flown by the Japanese. Initial defects were addressed in the N1K2-J Kai (‘modified’) version. However, it struggled as an effective bomber interceptor.

Along with high speed, the Shiden-Kai offered pilots a rugged and agile aircraft packing four powerful 20 mm cannons in the wings. The result was an aircraft more than able to compete on level terms with the latest Allied fighters, such as the F6F Hellcat, F4U Corsair, and P-51 Mustang.

Supplied in limited quantities, the IJN distributed it to elite units such as the 343rd Kōkūtai Naval Fighter Group (created on the 25 December 1944 and commanded by Minoru Genda). The new 343rd Kōkūtai claimed Japan’s finest fighter pilots such as Muto and Genda.

IL-2 Sturmovik - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

Initially a single seater, the Il-2 proved to be a deadly air-to-ground weapon. This variant was to see heavy losses due to its vulnerability to fighter attack. Consequently, by September 1942, a two-seat design with a rear gunner under a stretched canopy entered service.
In the desperate months early in the war, the Sturmovik was pressed into a fighter role. Outclassed by dedicated enemy fighters in dogfights, the Il-2 could successfully take on other Luftwaffe aircraft. The German 7.92 mm machine guns were ineffective against the heavily armoured Sturmoviks, close formations of Junkers Ju 87 Stukas, Junkers Ju 52, Heinkel He 111 and Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor bombers would be favoured targets.
Sturmovik pilots employed a brave defensive tactic, they would fly fast and low. This meant that the majority of ground fire would miss or ricochet from the armoured tub. If an enemy fighter closed in, they would slow down, letting the fighter overshoot and fly into the Il-2's firing range.

F6F Hellcat - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a rugged US Navy fighter. It performed extremely well in combat and accounted for 75% of the US Navy’s recorded aerial victories in the Pacific theatre. This astounding figure totals Japanese 5156 aircraft destroyed for the loss of only 270 F6Fs in air-to-air combat.
The initial production model entered service in August 1943, and its balance of high performance, firepower and fair agility put it in great favour with pilots. Of 4402 aircraft produced, 252 were transferred under Lend-Lease for service with the Fleet Air Arm in the UK (known as Hellcat Mk1s).

Бюхерай (станция метро)

**"Бюхерай"** - станция метрополитена города Иглибиц из числа первых станций метро в городе, открыта 14 мая 1803 года в составе участка "Лагерхаллен-Ротесдорф". Построена архитектором Александром Гёнцем и инженером Даниэлем Фридеманом. Находится между станциями "Ринде" и "Катедрале". Имеет один выход к Государственной библиотеке ФРН, по которой и получила своё название.

## Бюхерай (станция метро)

### Глубина заложения

6 метров

Станция имеет неглубокое заложение в 6 метров. Является первой односводчатой станцией метро Иглибица и в мире вообще. Стены отделаны чёрным камнем и пиленым песчаником. Потолок из медных панелей поддерживает карниз из саманных кирпичей. Пол целиком оформлен грубым андезитом.

На станции имеется переход на станцию голубой ветки "Александргартен", станцию серой ветки "Надельвальд" и станцию синей ветки "Тордерваген", тем самым здесь сформирован крупнейший ТПУ под землей в Иглибице. Эти переходы обрели современный вид только в 1886 году, когда был сделан переход на новопостроенную станцию "Надельвальд".

В годы Первой Мировой войны на станции находился военный госпиталь солдат Рейха, который продолжил работу даже после того, как станцию взяли под контроль маразминские штурмовики. именно в этом госпитале 3 декабря 1904 года скончался генерал Бруно Клаустер.
P-38 Lightning - Squadron box

## Publisher's Description

The P-38 Lightning’s comparatively long range proved invaluable in the Pacific Theatre and for escort duties in deep penetration raids over occupied Europe, enjoying considerable success as a ground attack strike fighter.
The twin-engined fighter enjoyed its most extensive deployment and successes in the Pacific theatre. Though it could not outmanoeuvre the A6M Zero at sub-200mph speeds, its speed and rate of climb lent it the capability of making several high speed passes in combat, and Japanese aircraft armour was more susceptible than German aircraft to the tight groupings of the P-38s guns.
It was P-38s that engaged in the fighter-intercept mission that claimed the life of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor. In this engagement, 16 P-38G lightnings met two G4M “Betty” transports and six escorting Zeros. Both transports were lost as well as two Zeros, for the loss of one P-38.

McCampbell formed fighter squadron 15 (VF-15) in September 1943 and soon became commander of the USS Essex carrier air group (AG-15). In his combat flying career, McCampbell achieved several incredible feats including achieving Ace-in-a-day on three occasions - including twice in a single day! On that occasion during the Battle of Leyte Gulf on 24th October 1944 he shot down nine enemy fighters (seven Zeros, two Oscars) in a single engagement.

## Publisher's Description

The He 111 was the Luftwaffe's most numerous medium bomber at the opening of World War 2 and arguably the most iconic. Although it was sturdy and well-liked, the Battle of Britain revealed the He 111's flaw of weak defensive armament. As more modern bombers became available on the front line the He 111 was progressively moved into various roles including maritime patrol and transport/logistics.
