I walked happily over to the hanger my new plane was in and I changed into my pilot gear, cheers for these Mr Rackham I thought to myself. I went to my plane and found my new gunman. I shook his hand as he said "I'm Wilson, you must be George Rackham?" "Sure, I'm George Rackham, I'm your guy. I replied not worrying about a thing. I just wanted to get up in the air. She is beautiful I thought to myself. My plane was a Bristol F2.B. In short she was a fighter plane. I got in the cockpit and I was mesmerised by the aeroplane "Come on, let's get this kite up in the air."I told Wilson. He agreed so we took off out of the hangar and into the sky. She was beautiful to fly. Rackham doesn't deserve this, the posh pome. As we were flying to the training ground I saw light pierce through the cotton clouds above me, higher and further we went across the country side through hills of green.

Fighters such as the Messerschmitt BF-109 and the Focke Wulf 190 proved to be dive-bombers to overrun Denmark and Holland early in the war, as a prelude to their capture of formidable weapons.(http://ethw.org/World_War_II_Aircraft) Then, bombers marooned bombs on England in a way to destroy the land. The Brits reacted with fighters such as the Spitfire, which was controlled through the new method of radar. This created the Battle of Britain, a conflict fought entirely in the fluorescent blue…

Additionally, this aerial battleground became important to the development of new fighters, like the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane, as well as the refinement of fighter tactics for both the Luftwaffe and the RAF. Dowding’s in-depth understanding of the employment of airpower and the logistics behind deploying the RAF’s aircraft gave him the ability to revitalize the decrepit Air Ministry. He, along with others who sought the need for change to defeat Britain’s enemies, devoted…

was the period where both civil and military aviation had the greatest achievements in aviation history for development and pioneer. During this period for military aviation, the biplane open cockpit design of WW1 aircraft were slowly being replaced with the all metal monoplane. Aircraft progressively were being designed with retractable undercarriages for streamlining, avionics and more powerful radial engines or supercharged piston engines. These created aircraft that were able to fly much…
