One of the first manufacturers of 25mm WWII miniatures, their range is still one of the most comprehensive available to this day. The figures are 25mm and a bit on the small side by current standards. The range includes US infantry, US Airborne, US Marines, support weapons and vehicle crews.
US Airborne:
West Wind Productions has quite a comprehensive range of 28mm figures and vehicles for WWII, called 'Berlin or Bust'. The range has US infantry figures and support, US Airborne, casualties, US Marines and support, vehicle crews and 1/60th scale vehicles and guns. Note that while the foot models are a smallish 28mm, the vehicle crews are 25mm and do look small compared to an average 28mm figure by another company.
