The Short Sunderland was one of the most famous seaplanes of World War
II. It’s came into service at the end of 1938 to equip the Royal Air
Force squadrons of Coastal Command. The Sunderland Mark III, introduced
on the end of 1941, turned out to be the definitive Sunderland variant,
with a huge number of units built. The Mk. III can be considered one of
the most effective and successful weapons to counter the German U-Boots
threat during the Battle of Atlantic. The flying boat patrol bomber
Sunderland Mk III has been decisively improved, compared to the previous
versions, with a revised hull configuration and the adoption of new
patrol and submarines search equipment. Even the offensive load, which
could include bombs, mines and depth charges, has been increased .The
reliable 1,065 Hp Bristol Pegasus radial engines guaranteed a top speed
of 336 Km/h and a range, essential feature to perform successfully sea patrol and research duties, of 2,800 Km.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
