The Avro Lancaster was the most famous RAF heavy bomber of the 2nd World War andwent into service in 1942. More than 7,300 of these machines were built for RAF Bomber Command. One of the most important RAF targets was the destruction of theRuhr dams that supplied important industrial installations with power. In order to accurately attack such robust targets as dams or barrages a rotating bomb wasdeveloped which was better known as the bouncing bomb . For this attack a special new unit was set up, 617 Squadron under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson. Code-named Operation Chastise this raid took place with 19 Lancaster bombers on the night of 16th to 17th May 1943. The first two dams – Mƶhne and Eder – were successfully destroyed, whereas the other two – Ennepe andSorpe withstood the attack.
The Mosquito was one of the RAF’s most powerful and fastest bombers during the Second World War and was built in a total of 5,500 units until 1945. The lightweight aircraft owes its success to the special materials used, with wood being used instead of aluminium for the basic structure and exterior coating. The prototype flew on 25 November 1940, after which the Wooden Miracle went into series production. The Mosquito flew away from all German fighter planes.

By the end of the first year of the war the German Luftwaffe command must already have known that the Junkers Ju 87B was not longer capable of meeting the requirements in many respects. The gradual improvement in the ground defences and the increasing use combat aircraft during the war led to the transformation of the Ju 87 into a fighter-bomber. The D version received a more powerful engine, new aerodynamic fairing and stronger armour. Its new role was now primarily that of ground attack, including anti-tank warfare with a 37 mm cannon. In the spring of 1944 the work of converting the Ju 87 D-3 into tank destroyer types G-1 and G-2 finally began.
