RAF053 “Wing Commander J.E. “Johnnie” Johnson”

James Edgar “Johnnie” Johnson, C.B.E., D.S.O. & Two Bars, DFC & Bar was one of the RAF’s most famous and decorated wartime pilots… His record of 34 “kills”, 7“shared”, 3”probables”, 10”damaged”, make him the highest scoring Western Ace against the Luftwaffe during WW2.

In March 1944 he was put in charge of 144 (RCAF) Wing and flew Spitfires over Normandy before, during and after the invasion.

After the war he had a long and distinguished career in the RAF becoming an Air Vice Marshal. He passed away in 2001.

The K&C figure has him “kitted-out” in RAF Battledress and wearing a “Mae-West” Life Vest and carrying a side arm just in case he has to bale out over enemy territory!
