In that context, the French presence was minimal and limited to contemporary models. The impact of French aviation in 1940 was entirely overlooked, including by kit manufacturers focused on British, American, Japanese or German aircraft. In 1964, Heller attempted to revive interest in the Armée de l'Air during the Battle of France by launching its Heller-musée range. This book presents the various kits in that range, along with competing products and reboxings under other brand names. An essential volume for all aircraft modelling enthusiasts. Discover previously unpublished photographs of the first Heller aircraft kits! 64 pages – 200 illustrations – 20×24 cm
