Historical Authenticity

RP-3 (Rocket Projectile 3 inch) 60 lb F rockets were widely used by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during World War II and in the period immediately following the war. These rockets constituted effective armament for fighter-bombers such as the Hawker Typhoon, Hawker Tempest, Bristol Beaufighter, de Havilland Mosquito, and Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IX. They gained the most fame during the Normandy invasion and in attacks on German convoys and armored vehicles, providing the Allied air units with significant firepower advantage.
