Date Added: Tuesday 19. April, 2011
Britain's Military Aircraft in Colour 1960-1970, by Martin Derry, is ideal for historians and modelers alike. This book, together with two subsequent volumes, offers a nostalgic selection of color images featuring four types of aircraft in British military, or Ministry service. Full advantage has been taken of a relatively scarce photographic opportunity from a period when a roll of color film (eight exposures) cost approximately $7-a week's average wage in the early 1960s.
Each volume contains fighter, bomber, transport, and trainer aircraft, each having an introduction and comprehensive captions to explain the various types in full detail. Serial numbers, units, and aircraft histories are all covered and four-view artwork derived from specific photographs is included to provide in-depth information for the enthusiast, historian, or modeler.
Volume 1 features the Vickers Valetta, Hawker Hunter, DeHavilland Vampire T.ll and English Electric Canberra (Part 1). This softbound 7%" X lOW' book is 96 pages long and contains 150 color photos and view drawings. The price is $19.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling.
Together with Volumes 2 and 3, Britain's Military Aircraft in Colour Volume 1 will form a comprehensive record of British military aircraft of the 1960s.
