The \"flying machines\" seemed to have little use, but the ever-evolving tactics of war quickly propelled them from rickety canvas-over-wood reconnaissance planes to full-fledged aerial combat weapons that engaged in spectacular dogfights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exciting new coin series features three of the most successful Allied fighter planes of theFirst World War, beginning with the British-built Royal Aircraft Factory S.E. 5a. Introduced in 1917, this biplane was on the front lines of innovation. It could fly up to 222 km\/h and remain airborne formore than two hours, two factors that enabled the Allies to regain and maintain air superiority until the war's end in 1918.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Canada did not have its own air force, thousands of Canadians enlisted as aircrew personnel in the United Kingdom's Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) or the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), with some of them undoubtedly taking to the air in RoyalAircraft Factory S.E. 5a planes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese beautiful commemorative coins will be the talk of your collection!

Oram, the first coin in your subscription features a richly detailed, engraved depiction of an airfield where a squadron prepares for takeoff. A Crossley Light Tender 20\/25 truck is parked behind five Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a aircraft, which have lined up in front of several Bessonneau hangars; the foremost plane is particularly striking thanks to the use of selective colour, whichrecreates the biplane fighter's dark green colour, as well as the blue, white and red roundel and tail cockade that identified the aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps. Seated in the open cockpit,a Canadian pilot wears the leather flying coat, helmet and goggles that offer him some protection fromthe wind and cold temperatures at higher altitudes. The reverse boasts an impressive amount of detailin its rendition of the wire-braced box girder, andclose examination offers a glimpse of the fuselage-mounted .303 Vickers gun and the MK-II Lewis machine gun on the upper wing, which helped make this aircraft one of the most successful Allied fighter planes of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784938696779,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002850 - BC1672SET","price":255.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_ced7d978-6f06-4f04-9491-190ac6f0c842.jpg?v=1717053228","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2016-d20-set-aircrafts-of-ww-i_-3-coins-pf-3_06oz_-_9999-bc1672set","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
