US Army Bell UH-1B Huey Helicopter - 57th Medical Detachment, South Vietnam, 1960s (1:72 Scale)

So unassuming is the humble Huey (never called "Iroquois" by those who flew them) that its role as one of the major combat aircraft of the century is easily forgotten. More than 12,000 of all models were built and -- on any given day, during its heyday in Vietnam -- 2,000 could be in the air at once.

RAF Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXe Fighter - ML407, Flight Officer Johnnie Houlton, No.405 (New Zealand) Squadron, France, September 1944 (1:48 Scale)

The Spitfire is the most famous British aircraft of all time.

RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIc Fighter - No.43 Squadron, RAF Acklington, England, August 1942 (1:48 Scale)

The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane to join the Royal Air Force as a fighter aircraft, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 300-mph in level flight. Often compared with the sleek-looking Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane, in actuality, shouldered the brunt of the fighting during the "Battle of Britain", equipping more than three-fifths of the RAF's Fighter Command squadrons.

The Douglas A-1 (formerly AD) Skyraider was an American single-seat attack bomber of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. A propeller-driven anachronism in the jet age, the Skyraider had a remarkably long and successful career well into the space age, and inspired a straight-winged, slow-flying, jet-powered successor which is still in front line service today, the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog).
