Airco DH4

Although several other WWI de Havilland designs are covered in our extensive DATAFILE series-the DH1;DH2;DH5;DH6;DH9;DH9A;DH10,etc.,only extended Special treatment is really good enough for the doughty DH4 and this book represents the fruits of  several years'  labour by its talented team of contributors.The 'Four' richly deserves such extra effort and this expanded 60 page  monograph on the type provides un-matched reference for both modellers and aero enthusiasts alike .Complementing Jack Bruce's meticulously-researched narrative are detailed 1:48 and 1:72 scale plans of Eagle- and Puma -powered examples by Ian Stair; over 140 archive photos (including many great close-ups); 13 brand new colour profiles by series editor Ray Rimell;
contemporary handbook sketches,official rigging notes, detailed colour data from Bruce Robertson and fully comprehensive specifications,service use history  and a bibliography.It was intended that this would be the first in a two-part study but author Jack Bruce sadly passed away before the second volume could be started; and so this DH4 Special stands as a  testimony to his outstanding reputation  as one of our finest aero historians.
