Combat pilots are specially trained for the severe conditions when flying powerful military aircraft, as they are subject to much higher G forces than in civil aircraft. To protection them against the loss of blood to the head caused by the heavy stresses of banking incurred at up to nine times acceleration due to gravity, the pilots wear special pressure suits, also called G suits.

This set contains various figures representing modern NATO pilots (e.g. German Air Force, Royal Air Force and US Air Force). Some of their limbs are jointed so that they can fit more easily into the cockpit. This enables them to be positioned in different poses in and around the aircraft. The figures are compatible with air craft models to scale 1:72.
