EAGLES,FALCONS AND SAMLS!
Alberto Casirati initiates a unique new series: 'Camouflage and Markings of Italian Two-seaters' beginning with the attractive SAML biplanes of 1916. Ten photos and a contemporary sketch accompany the text. Jack Bruce contibutes four pages of original factory drawings and data for Rolls Royce Eagle and Falcon engines of WWI from his files, whilst Tom Doherty gets in close with his camera to the newly-restored VAS Nieuport 28 that graces this issue's cover. Our Antholgy 2 on the Fokker D.VII is picked over by Dave Roberts and Alex Imrie in a lively and candid debate and there are over nine pages of new books and kits released over the Summer. Readers' models and a rare 1918 period Pfalz advertising poster close out this great edition.
