I come from a country some people don't even know where it is located...
I have been a fan of modeling since early childhood. I am particularly interested in II WW in the Pacific theatre, especially those related to the Auatralia area and War in Western Desert. Auatralia itself has always fascinated me as well as the fights of Auatralian soldiers and airmen. I live on the other side of the world in Poland, but I hope to visit Australia someday. 🙂

The story of George Beurling is quite well described on the i-modeler, so I will limit myself only to some of its elements. You probably remember how long I thought about choosing the plane. Reading the stories of various pilots, I became [...]
I sit down to write this article again during a hurricane. However, this time I will not make up a fictionalized story, because we have a live coverage on tape that you can hear from Lieutenant Richard L. Lampe. This pilot flew in 2FS, [...]
Finally the sun came out over the Gilbert Islands. After a tropical hurricane and heavy rains, the weather improved and flights resumed. After a short briefing, where the group commander known under the nickname "The Old Guy" [...]
This time the article will not be long or colorful with fictionalized stories. As for the history of the fights, I do not intend to compete with the knowledge of Tom Cleaver (I hope @tcinla write some more informations) 🙂 I just wanted [...]
