THE CAMM CLASSIC!
Quite simply one of the best two-seater biplane of the pre-WWII era serving with the RAF. This spectacular Sydney Camm design spawned many derivatives most of which are included in this 36 page monograph. Packed with generous archive and close up photos with tone camouflage and markings profiles plus a fully annotated centre spread cutaway of the Osprey floatplane by Tony Barnes this is essential reading for any modeller and aero enthusiast of these beautiful and colourful pre-war aircraft. The rear cover features a spectacular colour profile of K3779, a Hawker Demon Mk.I of No.608 Squadron, RAAF in 1938
Undeniably, the Hawker Hart was a great aeroplane, perhaps one of the greatest to serve with the Royal Air Force in the peacetime years enjoyed between the end of one world war and the start of another.When the first example of the Hart appeared in 1928 its overall superiority over previous aircraft in its classification made it one of the most outstanding warplane designs of its era.In this Aeroguide Classic, Ray Rimell traces the history of the fascinating and attractive two-seat biplane with the aid of over 44 archive images; over 40 close-up airframe details of the Shuttleworth Collection's beautiful airworthy Hind; 20 monotone line drawings showing camouflage and markings of many variants and a colour profile on the rear cover.Topping it all off is a fully detailed centre-spread cutaway of the Hawker Osprey Mk 1 floatplane fully annotated with detailed fuselage interior details.This 32 page monograph with its four cover pages is one of the best books ever published on this classic design and the other equally impressive variants it spawned. Some mild cover creasing but otherwise the very few author-signed copies we have left remaining are in very good condition.
