MiniArt 1/48 P-47D-28RE Thunderbolt. Free French Air Force Basic Kit

The Free French Air Force was a vital component of the Free French Forces during World War II, embodying the commitment and courage of French pilots and personnel who chose to continue the fight against Axis powers after France's capitulation in 1940. Formed under the leadership of General Charles de Gaulle, the Free French Air Force was initially comprised of a small group of pilots who escaped to Britain, determined to support the Allied cause. Despite facing significant challenges, including limited resources and the need to integrate into the Allied military structure, these aviators quickly proved their mettle. They participated in various critical campaigns across multiple theaters of the war, from the deserts of North Africa to the skies over Europe, contributing significantly to the Allies' air operations. Their actions not only helped in achieving military objectives but also symbolized the indomitable French spirit, rallying support for the Free French cause both domestically and internationally. The Free French Air Force grew in size and capability throughout the war, eventually becoming a formidable force that played a pivotal role in the liberation of France and the ultimate defeat of the Axis powers.
