Published to coincide with the US theatrical release of the Flyboys motion picture, Jon Guttman relates the amazing story of America’s volunteer airmen in WWI – the famed Lafayette Escadrille’s Nieuport flyers.
The enthralling narrative is supported by over 55 archive photos and 11 pages of authentic colour profiles illustrating the iconic LafayBette Nieuports as never before. Recent research by leading authorities in the field such as Alan Toelle and Bernard Klayelé have resulted in Bob Pearson’s 35 all-new revisonist profiles of these classic aeroplanes. Detailed captions accompany the illustrations and this unique Special also includes eight pages of 1:32 scale Nieuport 11/16/17/21 scale drawings for modellers of Special Hobby and Hobbycraft kits along with a stunning cover by Robert Karr!
