POST WWI AIRCRAFT PROFILES!
THE BULLDOG BREED!
Serving with the RAF during the 1930s as its first line of defence and equipping ten squadrons, the feisty Bristol Bulldog also performed memorable formation aerobatics at many pre-war public air displays. Popular with kit manufacturers over the years the type has been immortalised by Inpact in 1968 and later by Airfix in two scales. C F Andrew's Profile is the perfect reference for builders of these kits with 30 rare photos; detailed history and superb colour plates depicting colourful markings of seven Bulldog squadrons. VGC.
CAMM'S CLASSIC!
FRANK Mason wrote this stand-out Profile on one of the most attractive and distinctive of all pre-war RAF fighters with detailed narrative, evocative photos and detailed appendices. This concise chronicle can be firmly recommended to anyone building a model of the Fury regardless of scale. Colour plates on the inner covers illustrate a great selection from a five-view of K5682, a late series training machine based at RAF College Cranwell, to three Persian examples powered by radial engines. Our copies are in good condition with mild creasing in some places.
