New releases will be flying out of
Corgi at a breakneck pace for the next few months! We are excited to highlight a few of them from many different eras of military aircraft!
Let's start with one of the quintessential WWI planes. The
Sopwith Camel is credited with shooting down over 1,200 enemy aircraft; more than any other allied aircraft in that conflict!
