About this episode
In this latest edition of our Workbench blog, we will be attempting to chart the early development of military aviation through the medium of impending new model kit releases to the current Airfix range, as we have a trio of Great War related releases scheduled for imminent arrival. All three aircraft were introduced over a 30 month period from the period just prior to the outbreak of war, with each one highlighting the increasing influence of aviation on military thinking and ultimately, how the aeroplane transformed from an aerial observation platform, to a deadly dominator of the skies.
