On September 14th 1902, Nikolai Ilyich Kamov, a famous Soviet aircraft designer, was born. In 1929, together with Nikolai Skrzhinsky, he created the first Soviet autogyro, the KASKR-1 and in 1940, he headed his own helicopter design bureau, where the famous series of Ka helicopters was produced. Kamov and Skrzhinsky invented a Russian word to replace the word “helicopter”: “vertolyot”, an amalgamation of verbs “to spin” and “to fly”.

The Ka-50 has a 30% discount! In honor of Nikolai Kamov’s birthday, the Soviet Ka-50 attack helicopter can be purchased with a 30% discount in the Gaijin Store!

When: From today until September 16th (12:00 GMT).

The Luftwaffe had hoped to destroy RAF fighters in four days and then bomb all military bases and factories of Britain’s military within a month, but thanks to fierce British resistance, the battle dragged on for several months. On September 15th 1940, Germany made a final attempt to gain air superiority, sending more than a thousand aircraft into battle, but the RAF repulsed this attack too. “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few” Winston Churchill declared during the battle, collectively making all RAF pilots known as “The Few”.


Plagis’ Spitfire LF Mk.IXc and Prendergast’s Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe are temporarily available for Golden Eagles! To mark the anniversary of Battle of Britain Day, two RAF fighters — Plagis... Read more
