About HMS Illustrious
HMS Illustrious was the lead ship of her class of aircraft carriers built for the Royal Navy before World War II. Commissioned in 1940, she was one of the most advanced carriers of her time, featuring an armored flight deck that proved invaluable in combat. In her 1940 configuration, Illustrious participated in several major operations including the famous attack on Taranto in November 1940, where her aircraft crippled the Italian fleet. This PE set captures the intricate details of the ship during this pivotal period of naval aviation history.
