RARE DH5 PROFILE PLUS EVEN RARER EXTRAS!
No.181 in the prolific Profile Publication pantheon, this 12 page monograph by Jack Bruce traces the story of the unconventional AMC DH5 with 16 archive images and a dozen separate colour art profiles on the inner covers. An ex-bound copy this is loose -leaved but bears a plastic 'spine' to hold the pages secure. This reference bundle also includes over 30 xerox copies of page from the 1917 parts manual and rigging handbook with many vital structural details for modellers!
Not one of the Aircraft Manufacturing Company's finest WWI designs, the back-staggered DH5 of 1916 proved an effective 'trench strafer' . Known at the time as de Havilland's 'fifth effort' the fighter did not emulate the success of other wartime AMC aircraft yet it played a part and proved to be a fairly useful all-rounder. Despite many operational disadvantages the DH5 was fielded by five units on the Western Front and Jack Bruce has the full story in this 1967-published monograph. This particular copy was removed form a bound set of Profile's and is thus loose-leafed but we have added a plastic 'spine' to keep the 12 pages under some measure of control...
*****Packed with this Profile are extra refs in the shape of an Aeromodeller Aircraft Described two-pager and over 30 A4 xerox pages from the original 1917 DH5 rigging manual and parts catalogue with stacks of internal and structural detail sketches to provide rare insights into the fighter's construction!
