Particularly good regarding the air war in China from 1937.

One gem :

On 25 August 1937, during an attack on Japanese ships in the area of Shizilin and Yuncaobin 2 He-111As of the 19th Squadron were shot down.

Fantastic find Zoe, thanks for sharing. Looks like I'll be spending a bit of time on this site!

Brilliand find Zoe. Knew about the attack and with HEIIIa's but can't find a manufacturer. There is a Shapeways B type. Could try and model the bucket for underneath though.

A perfect find for my interest, Zoe! My AIM/Shapeways Nates vs. Ratas are going to shine again in historical entanglements!;).

Some more interesting snippets: at Khalkin-Gol, Ki27s bore the brunt of the fighting, with Ki10s only put in in the last stages when they were running out of airframes.

And 888 aviatrad in the Far East were still using I-16s in June 1945, only converting to P-63 Kingcobras in August.

In 1940-41, most of the action was with the IJN, flying A5Ms. The only time the AVG "Flying Tigers" encountered A6M "Zeroes" was in a brief skirmish over Vietnam, as the IJN redeployed south.
