HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Douglas Dakota Mk.IV, bearing the registration number KN628, served as the personal aircraft of Field Marshal Montgomery during World War II. Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, known as "Monty," was a key figure in the Allied forces' efforts in Europe, particularly during the pivotal battles of Normandy and the subsequent campaign to liberate France and push back the German forces. The Dakota provided essential transportation for Montgomery, allowing him to move quickly between key strategic locations, confer with other Allied leaders, and oversee military operations on the ground.
As part of No. 24 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF), KN628 participated in various conflicts and campaigns throughout the latter stages of World War II. In addition to its role in supporting Montgomery's activities, the Dakota was involved in troop transport, cargo delivery, and medical evacuation missions across Europe. From delivering supplies to troops on the front lines to evacuating wounded soldiers from the battlefield, the Dakota played a crucial role in sustaining the Allied war effort and providing vital support to ground forces during intense combat operations.
The service history of the Douglas Dakota Mk.IV, registration KN628, reflects the aircraft's versatility and reliability in fulfilling a wide range of roles during wartime. Its association with Field Marshal Montgomery adds a significant historical dimension, highlighting the importance of air transport in facilitating military leadership and coordination.
This 1:144 scale model pays tribute to the aircraft's wartime service and its connection to one of the most prominent Allied commanders of World War II. With its accurate detailing and authentic markings, this replica is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and collectors interested in commemorating the contributions of the RAF and its iconic aircraft during the war.
