Gearbox US Limited Edition Diecast 1:32 WW I 1917 Sopwith Pup 47 victory "ace" Robert Little Mini Precision Series Model Plane
5001 Sopwith Pup N 5182, Royal Naval Air Service, 8th Naval Squadron, Captain Robert Alexander "Rikki" Little. Little was nicknamed Rikki by his squadron mates after the cobra killing mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in Rudyard Kipling stories. Australian Bob Little shot down 47 enemy aircraft, becoming Australia’s highest scoring ace. As an aviator he was ordinary at best, enduring a number of crash-landings. What gave him his edge as a fighter pilot was his keen eye, excellent marksmanship, and willingness to single-handedly take on entire enemy formations and close in on his prey—down to twenty-five yards on occasion—before opening fire. Captain Little was flying this a/c when he scored his first three air victories over France in November and December of 1916. On May 27,1918, a moonlit evening, Little flew alone from Ezil le Hamel attempting to destroy a Gotha bomber near Noeux, Little was shot down and killed, at age 22, leaving Vera, his widow, and a son. He is buried in the Wavans British Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France.
