No other period in aviation history has resulted in faster development of aircraft technology than the Second World War.
A comparison of the earliest aircraft of the conflict to the last aircraft to enter service before war's end is no better illustrated than with the WWII aircraft on show at Wings Over Wairarapa 2013. Nothing invokes the aviation buff's passion like the sights and sounds of the aircraft that took the battle to the enemy between 1939 and 1945.
From the symphonic unrestrained purr of the inline V12s, to the instantly recognisable rumble of gigantic radial engines, through to the latest word in aircraft development, the jet engine, and its banshee shriek as it performs a low, high speed pass in front of the crowd. Each and every one of these is guaranteed to please, and to bring an emotive tear to the eye of the vets who served with them.
Watch this space for regular announcements of feature aircraft.
