Avro Lancaster Mk.I/III. LATE Productions Batches 1943-1945 Wingleader Photo Archive Number 15
27,95 €The last volume (WPA 5) covered Mk I/III early production batches up to 1943 (L7527 to JB748), whereas this one covers Mk I/IIIs from 1943 to the end of the war (HK535 to SW279). Weve avoided post-war Lancs and other Mks as they will appear in a future volume. Also set aside for a future volume is a more in-depth look into the interior of the Lancaster and the various equipment that was carried.
Approx 120 photos and 6 colour profiles. -
Avro Lancaster, Part. 3: Mks II, VI, X, Type 464 and B.I (Special) 1942-1945. Wingleader Photo Archive Number 18
27,95 €Having covered the wartime Mk.I and III in the previous two books, this third book completes the Lancasters wartime career by looking at the other Mks that flew with RAF Bomber Command. These other Mks are the radial engined Mk.II, the Canadian built Mk.X, the experimental Mk.VI, the Dambusters Type 464 and the Grand Slam carrying B.I (Special). Produced in smaller numbers for various reasons, these Mks rarely get a lot of coverage in mainstream books so weve tried to do them justice in this volume.
Again its our absolute pleasure to introduce a new author to the series. A professional aircraft engineer and the son of a wartime Lancaster pilot, Peter Allam is a Lancaster expert in every sense of the word, and his in-depth knowledge was really needed with this one to pull out details on these lesser known examples.
As with all the books in this series, weve enhanced the photos to pull out the shadow detail and have added arrows and letters to identify points of interest.
Aprox 120 photos and 6 colour profiles. -
Battle of Britain Combat Archive: Battle of Britain Day SUPPLEMENT
27,50 €When it came to publish Volume 13 of the BofBCA series, the publisher realised that it simply had too much material to fit into the book for the 15th September. This was the day of course when the RAF claimed 185 victories and these combat reports alone would have filled an entire volume(!), so they decided to print all of this extra material in a supplemental volume for those who would be interested.
The final 80 page book therefore forms an essential companion volume to Vol 13 of the main series. It includes the following:
The Legend of Battle of Britain Day
Luftwaffe strength and effort
Fighter Commands tactics
Görings reaction
Effect on Unternehmen Seelöwe
The Legacy of Over-Claiming
Sorties flown by RAF Pilots
Extra Combat Reports. -
DH Mosquito Bombers, Part One: Single Stage Merlin Variants Wingleader Photo Archive Number 17
27,95 €The author maintains a lifelong interest in aviation history, especially the products of the de Havilland Aircraft Company and in particular the Mosquito. He has been a voluntary member of the DH Museums Mosquito Team for over forty years, initially overseeing restoration of TT.35 TA634 and later acting as advisor during the conservation of the original Mosquito Prototype W4050.
With approx 120 photos and 6 colour profiles. -
Hawker Typhoon 1940 to Spring 1943 Wingleader Photo Archive Number 16
27,95 €Chris Thomas, the son of a Typhoon pilot, is probably the worlds leading expert on the Hawker Typhoon and has an incredible reference library on this classic fighter. The publisher thought about having one volume on the Typhoon and one on the Tempest, but with Chriss archive and knowledge, they think that they may stretch to four or even five books on the two aircraft.
This first one covers the early days of Typhoon development and operations and includes the usual mix of high-res wartime photos, informative captions and plenty of I never knew that moments, especially in the area of recognition markings which these early Typhoons saw their fair share of.
As with all the books in this series, the publisher has enhanced the photos to pull out the shadow detail and have added arrows and letters to identify points of interest.
This book contains approx 120 original wartime/pre-war photos and 6 in-depth colour profiles. -
Heinkel He 111 Units in the Battle of Britain and the Blitz Wingleader Photo Archive Number 13
27,95 €The publisher decided to restrict the book to operations over the UK as the Russian and Mediterranean Theatres could probably be covered in a separate volume. Included are also the early war operations over England as these produced some of the best photographs of the captured Heinkels.
This booklet contains approx 120 original wartime photos and 6 detailed colour profiles.
