CONCLUDING THIS YEAR'S RUN!
For the last edition of 1997 we have Part 22 of The Windsock A-Z of scale WWI aeroplanes covering Fokker E.V/D.VII fighters from Marcos Miniatures to Kelloggs with many more in between. Robert Karr describes his amazing 1:48 Nieuports at Toul diorama and Bruce Robertson covers all the captured German aircraft that fell into British hands, given specific G numbers and carefully studied and reported upon. One prime example was Hannover C.13199/17 and we have reprinted the original Ministry report over six pages including many photos and sketches of the airframe. Elsewhere we have a short 'Big Ack Archive', Harry Woodman looks at a German self-destruct device and all the regular columns appear with the latest books and decals.
