The United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was created on 20 June 1941 as successor to the previous United States Army Air Corps and is the direct predecessor of the United States Air Force. It was the largest military aviation force during World War II. In Europe, the USAAF carried out strategic bombing against Germany and its allies. In the Pacific, the USAAF participated in battles such as the Battle of Midway and the Solomon Islands campaign, and assisted the Allied Forces in victory through island-hopping tactics. In 1947, the USAAF merged with the Naval Air Forces to form the modern U.S. Air Force.

DID proudly presents a 1/6 WWII USAAF Pilot – Captain Rafe, featuring a super authentic headsculpt with tightly closed lips, a serious expression, and his eyes filled with the desire for victory.

Captain Rafe wears a brown shirt and trousers, with a beige tie that can be tucked inside the shirt. Over the shirt, he can wear WWII A-2 jacket, or a USAAF pilot A4 Flying suit. He may wear a garrison cap or an officers service cap and a B-6 helmet when in combat. Around his waist is an M1936 belt and a trousers belt, and genuine-leather WWII US service shoes are on his feet. His typical pilot’s outfit showcases his heroic demeanor.

He has an M1911 pistol, which operates on a short-recoil principle with large caliber bullets that are highly damaging. It is reliable, durable, easy to maintain, and comes with a genuine-leather pistol holster.

The USAAF pilot is equipped with US-pilot-specific B3 life jacket, AN6510 parachute, USAAF A-8B oxygen mask, AN-6530 goggles, headset and throat microphone. Additional accessories include M1911 magazine pouch, sunglasses, watch, and cigarette, etc.
