R. Baldwin, who served as the commanding officer of No. 198 Squadron, Royal Air Force, during World War II. The Typhoon, initially designed as a high-altitude interceptor, evolved into a formidable ground-attack aircraft, excelling in low-level strike roles due to its powerful armament and rugged construction. Under Baldwin's leadership, No. 198 Squadron became one of the most effective Typhoon units, participating in numerous operations against German forces throughout Europe.'JB II' and its squadron were actively involved in the intense aerial campaigns following the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944. The Typhoon, armed with four 20mm Hispano cannons and capable of carrying rockets or bombs, became a crucial asset for the Allies in disrupting German reinforcements and supply lines. Baldwin led 'JB II' on several key missions, providing close air support to advancing ground troops and attacking enemy tanks, armored vehicles, and fortified positions. His aggressive tactics and leadership earned him the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) with two bars, making him one of the most decorated Typhoon pilots.As the war progressed into the Low Countries and Germany, 'JB II' continued to be a symbol of fear for German forces on the ground. Baldwin's No. 198 Squadron played a pivotal role in Operation Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge, using their Typhoons to provide tactical air support and halt German counterattacks. 'JB II,' with its distinctive nose art and markings, became one of the most recognized aircraft in the squadron, and Baldwin's reputation as a skilled and fearless leader only grew. The aircraft's impact on the battlefield underscored the Typhoon's importance in the Allied push towards victory in Europe.An essential addition for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, this 1:72 scale model brings to life the storied legacy of the Typhoon as a key player in the Allied victory, embodying the power, resilience, and daring spirit of its pilots.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
