¹⁄72

DP Casper has released this 1/72 decal sheet to cover many of the aircraft involved in Operation Dynamo. Aircraft include the Spitfire Mk I, Spitfire Pr Mk I, Hurricane Mk I, Defiant Mk I, Lysander Mk IV, Skua Mk II, Swordfish Mk I, Blenheim Mk IV, MS-152, Potez 63-11, Bf 109E, Bf-110C, He-111H, Do-17Z and the Ju-87B. DP Casper have this title released under their “Forgotten Campaigns”, which I am not quite sure is appropriate. But I do like the series of decals by DP Casper concentrating on the aircraft during conflicts.

Operation Dynamo was the British name for retreat of British and Allied servicemen from Dunkirk to the UK. During the days of Operation Dynamo the RAF claimed 262 Luftwaffe aircraft destroyed, while the RAF lost 177 aircraft from all causes from May 26 to June 4. Fighter losses, from units based in France and the UK from May 10 to June 4 was 432, while total RAF losses from all causes during all of May and June was 959, of which 477 were fighters, which indicates the intensity of the air operations. However, most of the dogfights took place far from the beaches and the retreating troops were largely unaware of this vital assistance. As a result, many British soldiers bitterly accused the airmen of doing nothing to help.
Aircraft include:
RAF: Spitfire Mk I, Pr Mk I, Hurricane Mk I, Defiant Mk I, Lysander Mk IV, Skua Mk II, Swordfish Mk I, Blenheim Mk IV.
