Avenge Pearl Harbor: US Navy Aviators

The aviators of the United States Navy were the primary striking force during the pivotal carrier battles of 1942. Dressed in specialized flight gear including M-422A flight jackets, inflatable 'Mae West' life vests, and leather flight helmets with goggles, these men operated SBD Dauntless dive bombers and F4F Wildcats from the decks of the Yorktown-class carriers. Their courage during the Battle of Midway remains a cornerstone of naval history, as they navigated hundreds of miles of open ocean to deliver the killing blows against the Imperial Japanese Navy.\n\nThe set includes 5 uniquely sculpted specialist pilot figures in various candid and ready poses. The inventory includes 3 pilots in full flight harness and life vests, 1 officer in a flight jacket with hands in pockets, and 1 pilot waving while carrying his flight gear bag.
