The United States Navy operated the PV-1 Ventura throughout WWII as both a long- range patrol bomber and as a gunship used to attack enemy ground targets and shipping. After WWII the Ventura as largely phased out as newer models replaced the pre-war design but the Ventura continued to operate in limited roles for training and reserve duties. After World War II, many Ventura's were sold as surplus for use by private operators. This new kit features new markings printed by Cartograf representing one late war USN and one Canadian aircraft from 1948.
