Description
This unique book is the first of its kind to be published on British aircraft of World War II. Now aviation enthusiasts and aero-modellers can see British aircraft as they really were, through magnificently reproduced colour photographs.
Each of the forty-nine types of aircraft is accompanied by a brief 'biography' together with tables of the most important marks and their specifications: engine, span, length, height, weight, crew number, maximum speed, service ceiling, normal range and armament. There is also a section on British aircraft in action, which includes accounts of outstanding exploits by the pilots of different types.
John Frayn Turner, the well-known aviation author, has chosen the pictures and provided the text.
