French Canadian ace “Dick” Audet was serving with No. 411 “Grizzly Bear” Sq. when he opened his account in spectacular fashion on December 29, 1944, by downing five aircraft in quick succession. In the month that followed, he gained several other victories before being killed on March 3, 1945, when his aircraft was hit by flak during a strafing mission. His score stood at ten claims at this time. The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft.
